    Inspired by ecowper post of The Perfect Steak by Chef Jean-Pierre! My orders were to cook lamb chops tonight and I just happened to have picked up some Avo oil so…….The Perfect Lamb Chop? I used fresh rosemary, garlic, and shallots and followed the recipe in the video. Came out pretty darn good!

      Beautiful!!!

    I'm impressed with all the cooks. Then there's mine. Left over poor man's burnt ends. And I mustered up the will to do roasted garlic potato.

      RichieB I think most of us would swap what we've cooked and shared for some your burnt ends!

    Some of you wanted to see the cheesecake after it was cut. SWMBO said it was the best cheesecake she'd ever eaten!

      holehogg the great thing about this one, aside from the taste, is that it is sugar free. I use an in-arm blood sugar sensor that reports both to my watch and phone, and eating a reasonable sized piece of this had zero effect on my blood sugar level. Win!

      You just HAD to show the inside, didn't you? I made a big mistake. I bought a cherry pie from a local Mennonite bakery to go with our pre-Thanksgiving meal. I expected my wife to make her cheesecake to go along with it. Nope - I saved her some work. Now I am reminded of what a mistake I made. Yours looks delicious

      That’s a delicious looking cheesecake!

    Today's lacto-fermentation output (yes, I'm obsessed) :
    • Green cabbage kimchi
    • Zuchini Dills
    • Dilly Beans
    • Grapes (no, this won't make wine)
    The only problem with this hobby is until I get going is having to wait to try something.

      pkadare what are you doing with the grapes? I have way too many from CSA.

      SheilaAnn just another way to do a ferment. Weigh whatever you want to ferment (so far I've got some hot peppers for sauce, some apriplums, and the grapes). Toss with 2% of the weight in kosher salt, then vacuum seal. It is a great way to ferment if you've already got a sealer as there's no need for additional equipment and there's zero chance of mold since there's no O2 in the bag. You want to make the bag fairly large to provide room for the CO2.

      If the bag expands too much you can poke it with a pin and then patch with a piece of tape. I've been using Diamond Crystal but I've got some pink Himalayan salt on the way. Apparently it is better for fermentation, something to do with the minerals in it.

      I’m going the other way around. Roasting the breast with simple seasoning. Leg quarter is in the hot tub time machine as we speak.

    Cornbread dressing. This is one of those things that just taste better a day later. So I make it a day ahead

          Sid P Delicious! They are a really fun alternative to beef.

        It starts! 21.9 lb turkey on the KBQ, started at 5pm. This is my first turkey on the KBQ. I brined it overnight using the BBQ Pit Boys Apple Cider brine ( https://bbqpitboys.com/blogs/recipes/apple-cider-turkey ). I slathered some compund butter under the skin of the breast and over the surface of the turkey. Two hours in and IT is 112 degrees at the thigh. KBQ is rocking along at 340-360 degrees. I'll update this post as the cook proceeds.

        15 minutes in:

        8:15pm - already done! Might have overshot the breast temp, they were 170-173. The thighs were 162. Looks and smells great though. Won't carve until tomorrow at my friend's place.

        Addendum: this turned out perfect! Juicy, great flavor. Thanks for the advice and help Ernest

          Watch the breast temp. Best to have the legs towards the back. Temp cools off as it circulates towards the door

          Thanks Ernest ! I turned the bird around when I noticed the breast temp rising over the thigh temp.

        And since my son is really the only one in the family that prefers pumpkin pie, we make pumpkin pie.

          thanks STEbbq - my wife likes to make things with the wine corks. this is for our last name. Adds to the kitchen!

        And dinner for the night. Wife asked me to make bibimbap. I haven’t made this in some time, but with all the wok cooking I’ve been doing lately, was time for one of my favorite dishes!

        Panhead John - here you go, one of the dishes I mentioned you need to try - https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/...bimbap-3363496

        I know there are plenty of bibimbap recipes, but this one isn’t hard to make. It does require mis en place, like most wok cooking. I will say, I didn’t use the wok tonight and I wish I would have. I used my cast iron pans since I was going to be cooking multiple things (beef, veg, eggs). But the carbon steel would have been a much better choice for this tonight. Oh well, next time!

        Only thing missing was my homemade kimchi - I had two jars in the garage fridge but….not sure how old there were. So we went with store bought.

          Thanks barelfly Appreciate that, yours sure looks good. Can’t go wrong with a fried egg on top.

        My wife's apple pie. I made the crust for her and she filled it. This is my favorite apple pie because she uses 1.5 times the amount of cinnamon in the recipe. I made the little dough leaves too, but they should have been pushed down into the pie a bit because they were a little too firm - but still edible.
