One of my favorite dinners this summer at Tarri's house in Ramstein was his famous
"Beer Can Chicken", although the number #1 dish was his grilled steak dinner, that left us wanting to rewind the dinner, and start over. #3 was his famous ribs on the grill. He does a lot of grilling, and comes up with creative ways to serve up food, for his comrades especially when they go out on tour duty. This summer he spent in the South of France, they all got together and grilled eveynight at the hotel, what a way to spend the summer.
He has several cookbooks around the house: The
Illustrated Step-By-Step COOK, by Lucy Bannell, with more than 300 updated receipes from DK's Classic Look and Cook series. CAJUN COOKIN, Schaumburg Township District Library 2003 Adult and Teen Winter Program Favorite Recipes. He also, goes online to lookup recipes. He and his friends are entertaining the idea of opening a restruant in South America, bar and grill, when they retire. (Just talking)
Prepping the Chicken: "Secret Seasonings", you can find Italian Wishbone (great for Marinade), Girard's Champagn Premium Dressings Created in San Francisco since 1937, and chicken rub in his cabinets along with other spices, rubs and hot sauce.
