My wife says I think too much. Along that path I propose a scenario and questions for all of you.
IF there were ever to be a grand assembly of forum members, and if it were to be in warmer months, and if food were to be served in an outside setting,
what kind of foods would Foggers like to eat?
Please don't read anything into this question that has not been stated here. Just my curiousity.

The tools in my truck were talking the other day. The Dewalts, PC's, Boschs, Makitas were not happy. They also were in the minority. Their complaint: They felt unused and unappreciated since the Festools moved in. I guess the truth hurts.

Peter,
I would have to vote for Paella. I am fortunate to have a friend who hails from Spain, and he cooks a mean one!
Best dish ever invented. Perfect meal for warmer climes, cooked outdoors over flames, wine is passed around in a glass container (don't know the name, it's in the upper left hand side of the picture). Doesn't get any better than that.

Barbq that is hickory-smoked for a long, long time is high on my list. Grilled chicken wings with lemon and garlic.
Great question. Here's another. When and where?

My favourite is simply chicken legs and thighs roasted over an open wood fire. I don't coat the chicken with anything -it is simply flavoured with the smoke from the fire. Here is a photo of me cooking chicken this way at Pellow's Camp:  |

I'm thinking that if a weekend at Pellow's Camp (with meals) were offered, there would be more participation in the FOG's contests.  ( can't help it, I'm a chicken guy ) Dan |

My Canadian uncles like roasting and smoking a piglet for big family get togethers (it's a big family so even a light turnout fills a backyard!)
When I throw parties out here, I usually do yakitori (grilled marinaded chicken, Japanese style) and it's a hit.
Now, if we use a similar rule as the "he-who-smelt-it-dealt-it" rule, we'd have the party at Eric's place in Oakland since he asked first. I have Bulgarian friends in Mountain View who would love to come as guests... they'll bring the rekia and you won't actually care (or remember) what you eat.
Wahoo! Road trip!

Another favorite of mine is a good-ole fashioned oyster roast. We get some of the best tasting oysters down here (great briny/salty taste to them). Fire up the steamer, cook em and dump em on what else? A sheet of CDX plywood on horses with two large holes cutout (with trash cans beneath) so you can shuck and chuck. What woodworker wouldn't like that?
Oh yes, cold beer too.

Beef Tri-tip slow cooked on a "Santa Maria" style barbecue, using genuine California Coastal Red Oak. And of course, paired with a good red wine, preferably a California Pinot Noir.  |

Depending upon the number of people expected to be there, I will bring as much as a block of dark chocolate (10 lb. Wilbur Brandywine).
This is not intended as a main course, but as something to have after some fine dining.

If you think the shoes are questionable, you won't BELIEVE what he uses for a marinade....  |

I GREW UP IN SANTA MARIA! Man I miss that. I was thrilled when I found a place to buy tri-tip.. Even get Susie Q's shipped out here with pinquito beans. But the BBQ setup and oak is not the same. Nonetheless, our family has at least 3-4 tri-trip BBQs each summer.. beans, salsa garlic bread, thin sliced tri-tip sandwiches... ahhh Where do you live joraft? |

Where do you live joraft?
I'm in Los Angeles, but travel up and down the coast a lot. I pass through Santa Maria all the time. And I also use Susie Q's. There's a company in Santa Maria that will ship you a Santa Maria style barbecue nearly as small (or as big) as you want. They do have a website. |

Oh man... why did you have to tell me that. My money is all reserved for Festooool...
I was back "home" several years ago (dad passed away). I love that it's so pervasive that the Home Depot in Santa Maria sells that style of BBQ.
Anyway, sorry for the tangent-hijack on this thead. Back to the normally scheduled program.

That's alright, you guys are making me homesick for CA (born and raised in Oxnard/Ventura). Haven't heard "tri-tip" uttered in years.
As a matter of fact, I think I see strawberry fields in the background of that last picture...

Thanks for reminding me, I was up in Lompoc last weekend for a tri-tip barbecue, and for dessert they served bright red, very sweet strawberries as big as apples. |

I searched all over town to find a roaster with a spit so I could get a more even cooking, and I used sweet cherry wood for the smoke. It came out so incredible that I got hooked on the smoking (especially using cherry) and bought the smoker shown previously a couple months later.  |

John & Wood Junkie, Not being as familiar with California as I probably should be, I just wondered if Santa Maria is anywhere near Santa Cruz? It might be worth dropping into a city council meeting. Blondes have got nothing on this young lady. Neill

"... On the east coast they have slaves and they believe in slavery.. and made in China". WTHeck? "... They have fruit trees and vegetable trees. That's where fruits and vegetables come from!" It's almost so obvious and stupid, that it's smart...  To answer an earlier question, Santa Maria and Santa Cruz are not close together. Santa Cruz is up near San Francisco... I really don't have anything positive to say about Santa Cruz (other than it's scenic location), so I'll just leave it at 'Go Banana Slugs'. 'Nuff said. |
