Since the bourbon thread got a revive, decided it was time to bring back the old cooking thread. What is everyone making this weekend?

Doing Pastel Azteca and some Bolognese that I am going to turn a good portion of into lasagna

Sounds good. If you don't mind, post a pic of the finished product.

Combined birthday celebration with neighbor's new teen daughter this weekend. For our part of the dinner, I'm cooking flank steak (marinated in salt, pepper, citrus juices, garlic, annd chili powder) and making a chimichurri sauce. Wife is doing a goat cheese log with honey and toasted pecans app and caprese salad app with tomatoes and basil from garden. She's also making a cake.

Neighbors are doing shrimp skewers, hasselback potatoes, and grilled veggies.

Looks good. I especially like the melted cheese on top.

Depending on weather and availability, I'm thinking about doing a brisket this Saturday.

Heading out of town on Wednesday, so I am done with cooking for this week

keeps us posted on any good eats you come along. Unless, you are heading over seas...lol

Nah, just going to the mountains where my phone won't work

Smoking some beef short ribs that we get from a local butcher. Also picked up some ground beef for another time and some pancake mix for tomorrow morning. Beautiful day outside.

Decided on a mojo pork shoulder/butt for the games on Saturday. Gonna use it for Cuban sandwiches

Going to keep it easy today, burgers and dogs on the Weber for later.

Just got the pork into its last marinade. Gonna put it on right around the time the noon games start

Nice, BTW, we've got a few of those State cups around as well.

Just wrapped. Now to spend a couple of hours in the cooler

Edit - phone made the same post twice

Looks good

Very happy

Looks amazing! Thanks for sharing the pics. I'm getting close to lighting up the grill.

Last pic for today. Made Cubans with the pork

I'd really like to do one of those but smoking stuff isn't really in my wheelhouse.

Believe me, I'm no pit master, but I have gotten better.
