Hahaha this video clip is hilarious. I really enjoy watching this video and I'm definitely trying some of these regional burgers.

I look forward to your post with the pimento cheese recipe. I'm sure you eaten fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese. One of my favorites summer appetizers.

How is everything going with your food intake? Did you finish your pizza?
Down to the last two slices. It reheats well.
 
Not really. Mine just sips her wine, pets the cat on her lap, and wakes me up in my recliner when it's time to go to bed. I count my blessings.
She is sound my Diana.She just has a blowout at the weekends.Working from home and dealing with the UK Brides who want,and have planned for years to get married in Rhodes this year............and everything still up in the air takes its toll.
 
I've just made my fool proof lamb marinade for tomorrow lunchtime once Fish Friday is over.

Two squeezed and pressed lemons, 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil, two pressed garlic cloves, fresh thyme, mixed herbs, cracked black pepper and sea salt.

Add a splash of Hendos as well. If you lick a bit of a kick to it, some roasted garlic and a few finely cut chills into the mix and leave for twenty-four hours.

Today however, it's sea bass for lunch and halloumi and tomato pasta for tea.

Your lamb marinade is very similar to mine except for the lemon so I am going have to give it a try once we grill some lamb. How do you prepare yours? Grill it or bake it?

I have never eaten halloumi, what is it like?

It all depends on time and weather. It's probably easiest to bake in the oven, but if tomorrow is nice I'll slowly cook/smoke it on the BBQ over the flames.

In my humble opinion, halloumi is lovely and a really easy thing to include in a main (e.g. in a salad, as a burger or wrap) or you can have it as a simple side.

While I know that it actually is, it doesn't taste either salty or fatty. I normally cook it for a few minutes in a pain (flip half-way through) or wrap in foil for the BBQ.

I was wondering because I have never baked them, my hubby usually grills it over charcoal, they really are so delicious that now I'm getting cravings for lamb.

But Halloumi is a cheese? Correct? I have never seen it for sale at my local grocery store, I wonder if it can be found in the US.

It’s a Greek/Turkish/Middle Eastern cheese that’s typically made from a combination of goat or sheep milk. It’s quite thick and has a high melting point.

Rubbery is probably the most suitable match to its consistency, but it isn’t rubbery - if that makes sense. Try a Mediterranean or Middle Eastern supermarket.

I like lamb a lot so again I prefer to grill it, but sometimes it’s easier to put in the oven on about 170C for a good period.
 

Virgin bbq'er. Any tips veterans picked up after years grilling?
Tbh I'm not the grilling expert, my husband is but some tips that have been mentioned here before are to let your meat reach room temp before grilling and slather it in salt.

What grill would you be using gas or charcoal?

Now I'm even more curious about trying that cheese. Thanks for the suggestion about where to find it. There is a couple of Mediterranean markets in our city so I'm going to check to see if they carry it.
 
Charcoal. I wondered about meat prep so thanks for that. Reading rest of thread now
For charcoal grilling my main recommendation would be to not use a lighter fluid or charcoals that already have some on them already. It just changes the taste of the food and it is not very good for other reasons. Here is a good article on how to start your charcoals without it.

I was taught this many years ago during training. You could easily tell when they’d used petrol to start the fire or worse petrol as the main fuel.
