Captain's Cook for his company

[Cliff H.]

I thought Thanksgiving wasn't until next month. [smilie=a_holyshit.gif]

Looks like good eats Cap !

It all looked great Cappy.
How much did your boss pay ya to do all that food?

 

[Nick Prochilo]

Fantastic Cappy! Who owns the smoker you were cooking on? How many time do you use the cedar and maple planks before you throw them out?

 

[Captain Morgan]

Nick, it's my gasser. No money for me, just some leftover charcoal.
The cook ended up costing me a little bit, but I'm ok with it...it was a
beautiful day. I use the planks only twice, although they say you can
use them more. I always end up giving the underside a pretty good
scorching.

Niiiiiiice spread Cap... I looove scallops... i did some this past weekend... I keep thinking I want to try the proscutto thing.. this was last minute decision so I settled for bacon. Everything else looked great too... Great Job!!

Cap'n

Do you think the maple planks added to the flavor of the scallops?

Griff

 

[Captain Morgan]

yes. But it's not as pronounced as the cedar.

Sometimes when it costs you a little but it's for the company you work for, it really doesn't cost you anything! Nice job Cappy!

Walter, the scallops were wrapped with prosciutto (company paid, so I spent), then placed on a maple plank over charcoal....drizzled with a maple/balsamic reduction that included lime juice and rosemary.

Ribs were fair...tasted good, but I was so rushed trying to get everything
together at once I couldn't really watch em that close...some were very tender, some needed to go a little longer. Also, on the scallops, I had a chick I work with skewer them, and I didn't tell her I needed shorter
skewers with nothing hanging over the edge of the plank...my fault...no biggie though. Folks were scared because the scallops were so big! I thought they'd be gone in a flash, there was still 5 or 6 left at the end of the night!

Salmon was the biggest hit...I'll post a recipe tomorrow for it....spent a good bit of time working on this one, and it was really good...I was really surprised at the comments on the salmon. It was the hit of the party.

It's tomorrow!

WOW That looks fantastic. Beatuiful spread and a beautiful home. Sure wish I worked for your company! :?
What was that Tomato platter thing? Looked like it was good too.

 

[Captain Morgan]

That is roma tomatos sliced, sliced mozzarella cheese, and basil
pesto over the top. Great colors, great taste.
