A Personal Journal
Fixing breakfast on the Blackstone is one of my favorites. Everything is right there, just cooking away. Of course, timing is important.
First, the hashbrowns go on the griddle and need to be close to done. Then the bacon goes on. When the bacon gets flipped, the eggs go on the griddle. It’s all about timing.
Motorcycling comes after breakfast.
See you on the highway.

My Blackstone griddle is about three years old, and I love it. If the weather is good, or reasonable, I will use it to fix our meals.
Tonight, it was smashburgers and corn on the cob.
I have tried to make smashburgers before, but finally, I think I have perfected the technique to make a proper smashburger. Edges were nice and crispy. The corn was cooked in boiling water on the stove and sweet like sweet corn should be.
All in all, it was absolutely delicious.
See you on the highway.

Friday in our house is Fish Friday. Most of the time, I am cooking fish, salmon, catfish, tilapia, shrimp or some form of fish. We also go our for fish and chips. We have our favorite spots.
Tonight, it was tilapia on the Blackstone with veggies as a side.
Because each of the items on the Blackstone cook at a different rate, I always start with the item that takes the longest to cook. That would be the Brussel Sprouts. Then I added the mushrooms, onions and bacon. That was cooking nicely, and it was time to add the tilapia.
I was watching the sizzle. Everything looked good. I stepped inside for a moment and returned to find things slowing down. The fish wasn’t cooking like it should. I started checking things and finally looked under the grill at the flames. OMG! In the middle of cooking, I AM OUT OF GAS.
“Lin, it’s going to be a bit longer. I have run out of gas on the Blackstone.”
That’s why I always have that next bottle ready to go. It only took a couple of minutes to change the tank and start the griddle again. Soon, the food started to sizzle on the grill top.
I’m not the only one that has ever run out of gas, but I was prepared. Were you prepared? What’s your story?
See you on the highway.
