Greetings!

Spring has sprung, the grass has riz';
I wonder where the little birdies is?

What a beautiful day, Thursday, has turned into. From rainy and cloudy, to warm and sunny. My oh my, what happiness this brings to an "old" roadside peddler.

I've removed any recipes for the bodacious steak pictured below, because almost all steak lovers already have their own notions about how to cook these steaks and they ain't going to change. I, on the other hand, have changed my method that blows even my mind. Late last year, I bought a Ninja Foodie Grill and love it. I am a former restaurant owner who started with a steakhouse in Raleigh, owned a few more restaurants, grew weary, quit, started The Shrimp Connection in 2001. I also have owned a Weber Grill since 1971. I am definitely a hardwood-charcoal aficionado, who has grown lazy and loves the ability to heat up this baby to a high heat, and grill steaks and chops to perfection using whichever of my seasonings I want. From pre-heating, grilling, and resting, food can be served in a little less than thirty minutes. Cleanup is easy. I'm also learning to cook seafood and in order to reduce my rotundity, will be doing a lot more. This contraption also is an air-fryer, dehydrator, and oven for baking.

In searching for useful ideas to share with you, I learned something about scallops I never thought about. Please click on the link beneath the picture below to learn what I did.


Now is the time to freeze shrimp for the upcoming days when there ain't any.

Berkwood Farm's Berkshire Pork Chops
For Juiciest Pork Chops, Use a Quick Brine (30 Minutes!)
After you bring your pork chops home, time to brine! Brining pork chops is one of the best ways way to guarantee a juicy cooked pork chop. Even a quick 30-minute brine (or up to four hours) makes a big difference.

A basic brine is a solution of 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) salt to 1 quart (4 cups) of water. Lay the pork chops (or other thin cut) in a single layer in a shallow dish and then pour the brine over top. Let this sit for anywhere from 1/2 hour to 2 hours before cooking.
It’s not strictly necessary. Brining actually changes the cell structure within the meat, resulting in a noticeably juicier chop. The salt brine also seasons the interior of the meat. It won’t taste “salty” — just well-seasoned. You can even add other seasonings, like garlic, peppercorns, fresh herbs, and lemon, to the brine for more flavor. If you fear bland pork chops, definitely give brining a try.


Many Blessings with thanks.

Awesome Crab Imperial
Brown-butter and Garlic Shrimp
Salmon
Our salmon is cut from whole fish into huge fillets which are the sides of the fish without bones. We cut these sides into collars, center cut narrow strips 7-8 OZ., center-cut wide cuts16-24 OZ., and tails. 
Collars are the fattiest of all the cuts and are best for sushi mi and sushi. Tails are the least fatty and are best for medium, medium well, and well-done salmon. Center-cut strips and wide cuts are best for grilling, broiling and sauteing.
Please specify which cuts you prefer.
