Like people are saying, look for a microplane zester. You can find them even at Walmart, I think. They have tiny blades rather than sharp edges on the holes.
What did I cook this weekend.....

How many people ate that omelet? Please don't say it was just you.

Be the ball!
Thanks ericbw for the suggestion. Appreciate that you took the time to leave a tip. I didn't say that right. I have a few of them at home, I was at my dad's and curious about that tool that sucked for zesting. We have some nice long handled ones at home. I think one is pampered chef, it's awesome. Mostly only use it when I am going to crush marinades or guac in thai mortar. Haha, I tried the other 3 had other plans. I have been making two egg omelets but wanted to make one and be done. It was hard to flip a 16 by 11 omelet with a kitchen spatula. Will definitely try again.
Maybe fry other toppings first. Or maybe fill it up with toppings cheeses and eggs for frittata? Speaking of guac made some at my dad's. They were freaking out. I have heard all kinds of recipes. My friend says he uses salsa and cottage cheese. I took lime zest, salt, little juice, onion, garlic, and jalapeno. And mashed it as best I could. Later they found wood pestle. Then added lime juice and avocado and more salt. And mashed. It is so bright and tasty.

Made some chicken
They were quail eggs.
That looks like a fine grater that I'd use for a hard cheese like asiago.
Invest in a microplane zester like the one below. I also have the microplane grater for hard cheeses, ginger/lemongrass, etc.

And, you guessed it, skillet! I seared bacon, then poured out most the grease. And fried that left over chicken up. Put on homemade bun with bacon, avocado, and American cheese. Also with a spice rub I just made that is really tasty. Was going to sear and add bbq sauce but went other way. It was so good.

Little bit of meat cooked over cherry and plum wood
Dang @TwistedGray that looks great. I love my dogs cooked just like that!

99% of the time ours are wrapped in bacon, but my friends were over, and I was lazy.
Chicken schnitzel, german potatoes (sweet and sour type), and homemade cheesy spaetzle (kasespaetzle). This is actually my lunch today, leftovers, because as usual I didn't take the time to take pictures last night.

I had chicken schnitzel for the first time in New Orleans last week. Yummy!
Base for the Etouffee that I am making with the tails left over from the Father’s Day boil!
I've been craving etoufee for weeks, but its too damn hot to eat. Waiting for cold weather then its game-on!
Couple of more Etouffee pictures. It turned out to be an awesome recipe!
Oh, I have barely finished my first cup o Joe, and I’m drooling. This looks so darn good.
Gosh all the pics have looked good.
I decided to experiment with the curry paste I found (Sun Fat Red Curry Paste) so I threw together a stir fry with chicken breast, an Asian egg noodle I like, and zucchini. As soon as I pulled it off the flame, I stirred in a couple big spoons of yogurt. Overall, I’d say this experiment was a success!
The sun was shining after days of rain, so grilled porterhouse, served with salad and fresh bread. Simple goodness, happy Summer.
I smoked a salmon filet, cut into 2" wide strips, in my Oster smoker roaster oven. They came out really excellent. DH is all but ready to pitch the big wood-fired Brinkmann offset smoker since we don't do vast quantities of meat these days. One more test - brisket. The flat will fit in there. We use the point, along with equal quantities of chuck, to grind our own hamburger. Tasty tasty blend!
Tuna steaks, (a little over cooked, but still moist) rice and canned peas, because my freezer has too many bags of hops, to have some frozen veggies. Homebrewer problems.

Marinated flank steak (ginger & soy sauce & garlic) off the griddle and a medley of snow peas / english peas / water chestnuts I concocted.
Nice and fluffy ham and American omelette, with rye toast. Sunday brunch. I make it double sized in a large skillet.
Some day I want to wake up, put the news on in bed, and have somebody serve me an omelette like that. I'd need some sour cream on mine. Maybe that's only in the movies?
you guys are killing me with all this meat! i had beans.....lol
perfect!!!
Good luck with that, I have dropped hints to hubby for breakfast in bed so long I’ve given up... if he did it anytime soon I’d probably keel over from shock.
Haha I miss beans more than bread. I’ve been doing this low carb diet and the one diet food I love is really not allowed.
What’s worse is I’m between jobs again and my go to food for buckling down and living within lesser means is rice and beans. Double forbidden on low carb!
Those look really nice lots of sugar or syrup in the sauce I hope (vicariously)?

Camping food (reverse chronological)... carne asada and beans over an open fire (yum)!
Unfortunately not pictured because dark and late - freshly made churros were a hit.
To be clear, though, I only made the asada.

Albóndigas Soup again tonight. Gradually dialing this recipe in!
Porterhouse.
Albóndigas Soup plated last night.
Those little chunks are diced zucchini that I threw in at the very end.

Ok, I prepared this for my wife and I and of course we share with our little dog Cecil.
