  The Dudes Patio Blog  June 30 th  2021 Hello all,   Another day in the heat! Today we hit 102 degrees! My hometown of Richland Washington is supposed to hit 117 degrees today. Glad I’m not living there anymore. But, to all my friends and family in The Tri-Cities I hope you are staying cool and hydrated! Yesterdays blog we talked about the veggie basket over the Weber Kettle. Turned out to be a disaster! If I had used large veggie slices it would have been fine but cut onions, bell peppers and asparagus don’t do well! LOL! We live and learn right? I will try again when its not so hot outside. Yesterday I released another video on YouTube, I will put the link below. Grilled Cheese Taco Sandwich! It was so good! Mrs Dude has asked for it several time since I made the video! I hope you get a chance to view it. If you do please remember to like and comment. I appreciate it very much. Patrick at Paddy Style Productions edited the Grilled Cheese Taco Sandwic...

  The Dudes Patio Blog  June 29 th 2021 Hello all, Another day in the heat! Man, can you believe how hot it is? Today is supposed to be 106 for a high and 68 for a low. 106 is way to hot to be outside filming but I will be cooking up more vegies! My buddy Craig over at Behind the Garage BBQ on YouTube gave me an idea a month ago for grilling veggies and its finally time to try it! His idea was to use the chicken rotisserie with a grill basket. I’ll have pictures tomorrow. As for the other days cook, I did Kabobs on the Onlyfire Santa Maria Style Grill over the Weber Kettle. Add a pork chop to the mix and you have a meal. Pictures are below. Using the Onlyfire is the way to go when it comes to being able to regulate the heat over the charcoal in the Weber. Add a little Uncle Steves Shakes South Texas Red and life is good!  I hope you all had a chance to see todays video release on YouTube! I made a Grilled Cheese Taco Sandwich. Born out of necessity it was amazing...

The Dudes Patio Blog  Monday June 28th, 2021 I know I was supposed to be cooking yesterday but the heatwave of 2021 has finally caught up to us. Today’s lows are supposed to be 74 and the high of 101. Makes for a hot day all around. I installed the misters over the patio and that helped with the temp but still, I think I need more.  Tonight, I think its veggie kabobs on the Weber Kettle and pork chops. It’s going to be a hot cook but all should be well if I cook under the misters. Should be interesting.  Tomorrow, Tuesday the 29th I start on call for the day job, 7 days straight work. Its not a bad job, working on POS systems and supporting Payments, it’s a living and I do enjoy it, just not the 7 days straight. Good news is since I work the holiday I get 2 days off during the week next week. The temps are looking like they are coming down next week so I hope to get some cook time in. If not I have videos that g out to July 19 th . Hope your Monday is good,...

  The Dudes Patio Blog June 26, 2021 A.       Intro 1.        Welcome to our first vlog about what’s happening at The Dudes Kitchen n Grill. My plan is to give a short review of this week’s video and to cover the next video. This is an excellent opportunity to get a behind the scenes look at what was going through my mind, some of the hang-ups, successes and failures. 2.        We are also going to cover upcoming video ideas, what issues to over come and plans for moving forward. B.       The last video 1.        Earlier this week we released a Homemade pasta sauce served with Morel Mushrooms. Morels are a wild mushroom that grows in a lot of areas in the US but in the NW you tend to see then in wooded areas where a fire has previously went through. They are funky looking but meaty with tons of flavor. 2.     ...
