Filet Mignon with lemon-parsley butter

  Lil Filet- dash o pimped up butta!
My prep station, still under construction has still alowed me to produced a couple of tasty sides.
Back in college, my buddy Tim, worked at Michaels on the Thames in London. ( great restaraunt)
20 years later, I came in for dinner and ther was Tim, making sidetable Ceasar salads!
Of course I had him prpare one for us.
Being  a buddy, he covertly slid the recipie to me under the table. I've enjoyed it  ever since.
Faining carb conciousness, I baked half a potato with all the fixins to compliment the tenerloin!

Smokey Sweet Baked Beans

Just when most have finished Easter dinner 2012, I felt a need to return to my brother's kitchen to have another spoonful of the baked beans Peggy had made.  much to my shagrin, my niece Brittany was putting them away.  Rats! Foiled again!
But today is a new day and I decided to satisfy my urge for the musical fruit by cooking the Smokey Sweet  Baked Baked Beans from the Weber "Real Grilling" bible.
While  slow cooking, I was speaking with my Pops, TJ who told me that my gran Stella who unfortunately passed when I was three, had a great baked bean recipie.
He imparted to me  her twist on a family favorite.. a lil bit of chopped green pepper.
I'll never make beans without it again.
My beans are now called Gramma Stella's Smokey Sweet Beans!

I Need a new Prep Station for my Grill!

You may or may not have noticed that I've been conspiciously absent from my grilling blog.
The reason for that is my grill prep station (a.k.a. Kitchen) has been demolished to the studs.
Coming soon is my new prep station with everything I need to maximize the power of  the grill! :)
I'll post the finished product upon completion.  In the meantime, I did manage to grill a couple new recipies for Real Grilling with Patrick coming to a monitor near you!
