9 lb pork butt smoked about 14 hrs this weekend.
Not really food, but I've been wire brushing the grill for decades! I received a Grill Guard as a birthday gift. DIS is da BOMB!! Works way better than elbow grease. I kiss it afterward with a paper towel slathered with olive oil, it's an ice rink. =~ )
pork belly and bacon lollipops and a turkey that woud up getting fried after it came out of the smoker.
I've been informed I'm making the lollipops again for Xmas dinner
After 50 years my local butcher decided to fold up his tent. Because my brother is a meat cutter I asked the butcher for the cut called a "Rockefeller Roast". "Sure, buy my shop and it's yours". This year our daughter in law decided she'd like to have Christmas at home, GREAT! So we went down last weekend, exchanged gifts etc., but I brought a Roast.
My God you can cut it with a fork.
In the summer, we make a pie that's just a can of Cherry Pie Filling, 1 pint of Blueberries and a pint of clean, sliced Strawberries. Mix it in a bowl and pour into a pie crust. (no cooking).
Done.
Mrs. 914 was going to the store, "Need anything?" Yep, strawberries. I've been looking at the half a can of pie filling left from the Xmas Cheesecake, gonna make something.
"OOoo, I haven't made an Angel Food Cake in a long time!"
Done!
A few ignorant comments from some northerners in the rant thread a while back have left me craving biscuits and Gravy. So I got up early this morning to get the brisket on the smoker then made myself some
bonus: making them with the heart shaped cutter won my some points with the wife
probably the moistest and flakiest biscuits I've ever had, why can't Popeyes make them like this instead of the dry and dense ones they have that suffocate you
I would like to introduce y'all to Excess. Excess is a nutter butter tiramisu. Nutter butter base, peanut butter Chantilly cream, a dark chocolate blood orange olive oil sponge cake soaked with screwball peanut butter whiskey, c and a dark chocolate ganache. Richer than Warren Buffet.
Probably shouldn't be friends with me if you're trying to lose weight.
Pizza place by my work has a supreme (sausage, onion, mushroom and green pepper). Tasty cheap lunch.
It's always a good time using a torch in the kitchen. Leveled up French onion soup.
also, my $40 induction burner from Amazon is my favorite cooking tool in at least a decade. Highly recommend!
Chic-Fil-A recipe. Sounds weird, but it's tasty. I cut the marinate and coating in half, it was enough for 6 boneless thighs.
Didn't take a picture =~ (
Grilled Ham and Swiss cheese, with thin slices of apple. Put inside an English Muffin with a dollop of Dijon. Grill like the usual grilled cheese.
Notes: 1.) I used white rice.
2.) Didn't call for it, but I added 1/4" of water to the bottom of the dish.
got ramen at what is supposedly one of the best ramen places in Tokyo about $10 a bowl. Only 10 seats in the restaurant. The reviews say there's usually an hour+ wait but we went at 4am since our sleep schedules are berked up and it was amazing. It's a sardine based broth with pork and real different types of noodles (normal ramen noodles and wide flat noodles). It also included an egg with a perfectly jammy yolk
In reply to secretariata (Forum Supporter) :
it was pretty amazing, definitely better than any I've tried in the US.
Southwestern Quiche.
3/4 cup grated Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack
3 large Eggs, lightly beaten
1 (4oz.) can diced Chilis
1 (2 1/4oz.) can sliced Black Olives
2 Tblsp finely chopped Green Onion
S & P to taste
1 Pastry Shell
Mix cheeses together and spread on the bottom of the pastry shell.
Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl, pour over the cheese.
Bake at 350* for 45 minutes.
Note:
1.) It's a tad bitter if you accidently pick up Jalapenos instead of Chilis.
2.) I used a casserole dish, by the time the egg was cooked the Phyllo Dough burned; stick with a shallow shell.
