      Yes to everything. Wow that looks good.


    Did the tri-tip in the PBJ. Loved the ease of the cook. Ran a bit hot at 325. That is on me for vent opening. 2nd cook, so I'll learn. Overall not a bad cook. A bit under done IMO. Out of PBJ at 115. Wrapped in B.P. and in cooler. About an hour till ready to eat. Then on gasser to sear to 130. Results a bit chewy. I cut per M.H's direction. I've done this b4 so confident I did it right.
    Also the garlic roasted potato were a bit over done. This was really thick, I underestimated the cook. I'd give it a b-.

      It sure "sounds" good. 🥸

    This was a bit of a experiment, but it turned out incredibly good: Spicy garlicky salmon stir fry!

    I took a salmon filet, cut it into even pieces, lightly salted it, and stir-fried it in avocado oil until 140-ish, then removed. I then waited (nearly forever it seems) for the cast iron pan to cool down to 350 (which was still a tad too hot).

    I then sautéed about 3 tbl of minced garlic in the remaining oil along with about --- wait for it -- 4 anchovy filets. (This is an idea I got from the the Hot Thai Kitchen YouTube channel I've been watching recently.) It is a fascinating stand-in for soy sauce. Once the garlic was starting to turn golden, I dumped in about 1 tbl of ground Tien Tsin chiles. I stirred until everything became very aromatic.

    Finally I dumped in 2 tbl of butter and 1 tbl of oyster sauce. Then, in go some cooked egg noodles and the salmon and toss to coat everything. Done! So quick!

    Deep garlic and umami flavor with a good amount of spice. Next time I will add broccoli and cut the butter down to 1 tbl and also watch the amount of oil I am using. (2 tbl butter and 2 tbl oil is a lot of fat for one serving!)

    I also like how my spice grinder doesn't totally pulverize the chilies so you get these nice flakes of irregular sizes in there. Very nice.

      This sounds like a Stir Fry I need to try. We like salmon a lot. It looks delicious!

    Late to post these pictures from Thanksgiving. This was our turkey I cooked on the WSM. This is the way the family has demanded it for the last several years, and I have no problem with that. Turns out fantastic every time. I ran out of cherry wood chunks, so used a little bit of hickory.

      That turkey looks pretty darn perfect. No wonder your family requests it every year.

      I like the thoughtful centerpiece with photos of family members (I'm assuming).

      Yea I do mine on a 26" kettle with chunks of cherry as well. Gives the bird a great color. Looks as though yours came out perfectly.

      Thanks everyone. fzxdoc yes, family members no longer with us. My dear wife stared doing that last year, and I think it's a new tradition.

      Smoked chicken with S&G rub. I got dragged into an impromptu Zoom meeting, so it was on 10 minutes longer than optimum. Smoked on Weber kettle with SnS.

ID:	1135527 Ok. I just had something called "Mock Chicken Legs". I had never had them or even heard if them. A friend of mine got them from a butcher in northern Wisconsin supposedly known for them. He raved about them. Anyway, he gave me a package to try.

        They are made from ground pork and veal, various spices, and breaded with a corn flake crust. After browning in a skillet you bake them off to done. I served with mashers and country gravy.

        Man they were tasty. Certainly not bbq or fancy but I would eat them again anytime. Cheap too. Although he gave them to me, they were only about $5.00 for a package of four. Who knew?

          I used to make this back in the day with breaded cubes of pork pretty tightly packed onto short wooden skewers. Pan fried with gravy made from the drippings. Never thought about making it with ground meats, sort of like Middle Eastern Cooked Kibbeh. Thanks for the inspiration.

          Sounds pretty similar to what is called "city chicken" in spots of Ohio (and I'm sure other areas). Pork and veal that is breaded, browned, and baked. It's very good.

        Not sure what to call this, but there's half a pound of Rancho Gordo garbanzos, a big mess of collard greens and a big mess of rainbow chard. Cooked up with some spicy chicken broth, onion, and jowl bacon. Really hit the spot with a healthy shot of apple cider vinegar in the bowl.

        Steak Au Poivre

        Costco American Waygu NY strip. Inspired by recent AR link to Chef Jean Pierre's Steak Poivre, I also watched the Angus Foundations video on the same recipe. I dry brined earlier in the day. I fused the two recipes, using shallots, and tomato paste to thicken the store bought beef broth. And, where Chef Jean-Pierre tosses the pan into the oven as soon as he has flipped the steak, I used Chef Archer’s (Certified Angus Beef Kitchen) technique of only applying the cracked black pepper to one side, starting with the non-peppered side down, used a high temp veg oil, and then flipped, added butter, and basted away.




        Was delicious. I pulled from the 4200 oven at 125 IT, and it rose to 140. Next time I would use a lower oven temp after the cast iron sear for less carryover heat. Also, maybe a slightly shorter sear time for a thinner gray band. But, even my 'anti-fat' spouse dipped each bite in the sauce.

          Love chef Jean Pierre’s clear cut teaching. I’ve done his beef broth from scratch, well worth doing!! Looks like you re-created the steak quite well, I may have to give this one a go !!

          I had a microbrewery contact me to buy and try a few of my sourdough pizza crusts and sauce. They made them in their commercial deck oven. And now want to buy my dough and sauce to serve to customers. That’s. Pretty great feeling,
