I think I eat enough meat this weekend to rebuild an animal. It was great. But a break is needed.
So, I'm very happy that my brother called me up today that he's coming round with his two daughters tomorrow.
I heard the girls declare in unison in the background that they wanted pizzas!
Because they are little there is only one type of pizza they like. Margarita.
The last time I made home made pizza on the egg there was plenty of room for improvement. So I'm looking forward to this. The problem is it's hard to find a shop around here that's open on a Sunday.
I'll probably have to go to Rotterdam to get some stuff but for my nieces, that's worth it.
The hardest part for me is the pizza dough. It so different from grilling in general. I have no good experience with it but it's the most important part of the pizza. Because, common, everyone can put stuff on a pizza. But the dough, man that's tough.
But that's tomorrow this was today.
This is Guarana Antarctica, very famous in Brasil. It's slowly getting easier to find in the Netherlands. My friend brought some cans. Bianca was very happy.
We had an early grill session that started around 3 pm. Ribs first. VIDEO
Some nice ribs as a starter.
Then some pork chops. I finally am getting some decent grill marks. It's best around 225C. (when the meat is this thin). Served with some coleslaw and grilled vegetables.
And to finish it off some nice steak. Served as finger food to enjoy.
Now everyone has left and I'm making this post. I'm having some 'me' time and that's nice. Steemspeak is on in the background. There is a discussion about Game of Thrones going on.
Someone is recalling facts from season 3. I find that very impressive, I sometimes have trouble recalling facts from last week.
People take this show way more serious than I do. But it's nice to listen to the insights.
There always seem to be a different discussion/subject on Steemspeak. It's really fun. I tend to go there more often.
I poured myself a nice white beer. It's from Germany. it's called Erdinger.

The dough isn't too bad though you normally have to make that from scratch and not purchase the pre-made stuff. If you're making on the crust on the grill itself, it tastes delicious to making it in an over since there's a nice smoky flavor imparted to the crust. From my experience from making grilled pizza, I slightly bake the pizza crust in an oven until it's slightly solid then I put the toppings on finish cooking on the grill. It can be somewhat hard to put raw dough on a hot grill so that's the method I use to do that.
For the green egg I bought a pizza stone.
Ah ok, I thought you put it directly on the green egg. The pizza stone makes it easier to lay it out but the bottom crust doesn't develop some nice burnt crunchy spots.
Nice !!
want me some ribs so bad, but it is too late.
Nice pics too.
Sundays are great days to spend with family. As for the dough with the pizza, the key is getting it to rise properly. A buddy of mine owns some pizza shops and he says the best way to let the dough rise is to place the dough in a stainless steel mixing bowl, lightly spread oil all over the dough, cover the bowl with a damp towel and let it sit for 2-4 hours or until it's about doubled in size. When we make pizza I'll usually do this when I get up in the morning so the dough is good to go by lunch time.
The meat looks great as always, but gotta admit, that white beer looks amazing right now. Going to have to settle for Heineken. Cheers!
Thanks for the advice! I also looked at some youtube videos today. Fingers crossed.
Looks good! And Guarana is awesome.. I was in Brazil 🇧🇷 years ago
Now I'm starving! Looks so good @exyle , that Antartica is interesting. Energy drink?
No, it's more like a fruity soda.
Oh nice! I've had a few natural fruit energy sodas in Germany like that
The meat looks great.. You can't beat a nice cut of quality meat.. Those pieces look so juicy and tender :)
You could always cheat with the pizza's and buy some pizza bases and let the kids put their own toppings on. Build a pizza day :)
That's a great idea!
Dude. That food looks really good. You know what you're doing. :D
For pizza you need so called 0 flour. You can get it at little Italy located on The Meent.
maaan..what don;t you know!
It is like a burden actually but I'm happy I can be of some help to others
Those pork chops looking yummy @exyle . As I said you're good at cooking. Well game of thrones season 7 have started finally. As a hardcore fan, I am not gonna miss any episode of it. Are you a GOT fan?
I love GOT man. Great show.
Pizza dough for the crust is an art. I've tried cheating with pre-made dough, frozen bread dough, and even trying to use bisquit dough in the little tubes. My wife makes a great pizza crust. It takes some doing getting it home-made. :-)
I'll do my best. Might buy some pre made bottoms just in case.
Should be good. No such thing as a "bad pizza" especially with your toppings! :-)
I was drinking Erdinger last night! Dough, it is tricky at first but once you get the hang of it is a doddle just make sure it gets that rise.
I am like you when I hear people recall stuff, I think really?! I barely remember getting out of bed that morning!!
I hope I will succeed. and I'm happy I'm not the only one with a memory problem :")
I can't wait to see your brother and his daughters tomorrow! Well that is if you do put them on Steemit haha
At least I can look forward to your attempt to make a pizza on the egg. I've never grilled a pizza nor heard anyone else do it so I'd love to see your attempt.
Regarding game of thrones I love how captivating and intense it is with a great running plot line but much like you I don't take it seriously. Sometimes I get scorned at by friends if I miss an episode haha
Well enjoy the rest f your night with your white beer @exyle
Food. Such a fundamental piece in our existence yet so open for different tastes and different visions. It doesn't only keeps us up and running it also can unite us (family barbecue for example). It's more than obvious that grilling is something you adore to do and you should keep on doing it. Maybe next time you can drink a Belgian beer along with your steak ;)
Everything from grill tastes at least twice as good.
