So decided on a last minute entry, had some Hatch chiles in the fridge so threw them on the Big Joe to roast up.
August/Sept is a great time of year. Hatch season, cactus pear season and Melrose pepper season. These are smaller peppers with no heat at all, used by Italians. Originally brought over by immigrants from the old country and planted in Melrose Park IL. Also known as Friggitelli in other parts of the world. Here's a couple good stories about them.

Diced up some hatch peppers and greens to make a chimichurri suace.
Some hatch au gratin potatoes...
Found a nice sized flank steak in the bargain bin for $10, seasoned up with Porkmafia Texas Gold and onto the Joe.
Grilled up some mushrooms...
Bubba is up for a visit and we all sat down for dinner.... AND, I forgot to snap a plated shot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It was tasty, Bubba Approved.
