Grilled corn on the cob

Personally, I'm really worried this country is going to go insane over Memorial Day weekend and have parties that lead to a spike in infections, but if you happen to have a safe social distancing BBQ, try this:

For 4 ears of corn:

  • Melt 4 tbsp of butter (1/2 stick), I use a saucepan over low heat because when I try to do this in the microwave it explodes.
  • Mix in a couple teaspoons of black pepper and salt in the melted butter.
  • Remove husks and rinse the corn cobs, then lay out pieces of foil, about 12"x12". You'll want to do this assembly-line style so have the foil laid in a pile.
  • Take each clean cob, lay it on a piece of foil, and brush with the butter/salt/pepper mix all over until it's covered. Wrap each one in the foil, making sure they're completely wrapped up so the butter doesn't drip out while cooking.
  • Grill for about 20 minutes, turning repeatedly. Bryce always starts the corn before the rest of the meat or meat substitutes being grilled, so get these going first. They'll be very hot and a little browned when finished, so give them time to cool before serving!

Rose's Roasted Red Potatoes

We had a pork chop repeat last night as the main course, but this is quite possibly my favorite side dish: About 3 lbs red potatoes, wash and dice into bite-size pieces. Do not peel the skins. Heat your oven to 400 Put the diced potatoes in a large baking dish (13x9), and add about 1/4 cup of EVOO (enough to cover all of them but not soaking) Season with oregano (lots, like 2-3 tbsp), garlic powder, black pepper, and a little kosher salt. Stir that all around so they're evenly seasoned. Bake for about an hour and stir them a couple times during that hour. When the potatoes are soft and you can cut right through them, they're ready. Simple but delicious and works with nearly any chicken/steak/pork dish!

We ordered Jimmy Johns and you can blame Fox New

So late yesterday afternoon Fox 32 here in Chicago requested to interview Justin from (name redacted) again, since Pritzker discussed the decontamination unit in his briefing. All well and good, except we spent the early evening pulling together a briefer, updated messaging, waiting with baited breath for the Zoom link to come through, etc. (Side note: shout-out to (name redacted) for being an absolute machine with briefers I'm requesting at literally a moment's notice all week!). We thought the interview would run at 5:45 so I watched the whole damn newscast, only to learn they recorded it and used it at 9pm! By the time I was finished I hadn't gotten to the store, we had no food, and ended up ordering delivery. So boooo Fox News!

Antipasti ed Insalata

After a calorie-soaked Saturday that included leftover pizza, enchiladas and beer, we decided to go light for Sunday dinner.  This is basically salad and appetizers, Italian style:  Slice up meats and cheeses; I went with ham, pepperoni and provolone.  For a salad, use red or green leaf lettuce as your base (iceberg is fine for sandwiches but for an actual salad, you can do better). I also use cucumbers, carrots and croutons.  Heat a couple loaves of bread in the oven and serve with 1/4 EVOO + 1-2 tbsp balsamic vinegar + crushed red pepper flakes as a dip. Salute!
