First try at deep dish pizza on the grill. Turned out really good, but crust was overdone on the bottom. Should have set it on a pizza stone in addition to the heat deflector plates that I did use.
No pics, but - fried eggplant fresh from the garden, fried green tomatoes and yukon gold potatoes (fresh from the neighbor's garden). Didn't need anything more but antacid .

Hickory smoked pork loin with bacon fried cabbage.
Oh boy, that sounds good. Loves me some pork and cabbage. Old KY raised gf from way back used to make a one pot meal with cabbage and pork chops. Man, was that good.

Tonight is a spinach salad. Spinach from my neighbors garden, mushrooms and red onions from the farmers market, bacon from a small local rancher/processor with a proper dressing using bacon fat, red wine vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard with a little salt and pepper. I am done with photos.
James Pepper: There's no law west of Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chisum? John Chisum: Wrong, Mr. Pepper. Because no matter where people go, sooner or later there's the law. And sooner or later they find God's already been there.

Then smoked with pecan wood between 150-220 degrees for around 3 hours to and internal temp of about 140 degrees. Sliced thin for sandwiches, sautéed onions and mushrooms, Parmesan cheese and pepperocinis. Cowboy beans and macaroni salad for sides. Only took a picture of the meat:
Caprice salad with two colors of fresh basil from my garden, with a balsamic reduction, plus Scotch eggs cooked on the grill. Drink was 1800 peach margaritas. I wanted to have fresh french bread on the side, but I forgot to pick some up. The Cuervo made me forget about the bread quickly.
