      Looks great!

    Turned left over Christmas ham into some beans. But I'm doing things a little different. Made the beans yesterday with 50/50 rancho gordo ayocote negros and pintos, then converted most of the beans into a soup today adding celery, carrot, some leftover tomatoes and more onion today. Plan was the beans would go on nachos but um we're outta chips

        Having ham sliders tonight also, leaving out the sweet potatoes.

      Ok, I didn't cook/make this, but here was tonight's dinner for Barbara, me and her daughter. We used to go to this sushi place very regularly, but hadn't been since COVID.

        My bride requested a repeat lamb pop dish since the one two days ago was so good! I decided to take it up a notch and add just a hint of coffee, bananas, coconut, black olives, nutmeg, dill, pumpkin, and cilantro! OMG it was so good and you can’t taste those ingredients they blended in so well!

        and a side of sprinkles, I was jonesing 😳

          I tried to add all the flavors/seasonings that you all can't stand or tolerate, and I get 15 likes, SheilaAnn gets a gold star for laughing, the rest of you, go to the back of the class! 😂🤣 ComfortablyNumb once said something profound about a situation like this but I can’t remember so it may not have happened….

        Made a few smoked chicken wings on the BGE tonight. Over the course of many cooks I have really honed my technique for getting the skin crispy on smoked wings, and tonight it was especially good -- wife commented right away about the skin on these. Also baked some cauliflower

          efincoop After I separate the wings I pat them dry thoroughly, then hit them with kosher salt. Let them dry brine overnight on rack w/ ventilation. Skin is yellow (from moisture all drawn out) when they come out of fridge. After rub, I very lightly dust skin with cornstarch before smoking the wings at 325* F

          Wings look great Brad, really tasty looking! Cauliflower huh? Guess you were out of Brussel sprouts?

        Chicken phillys on the flat top tonight for dinner.

          ANOTHER NOT A RIB ROAST

          Still on the sabbatical from red meat.

          Bucatini with clams (Alison Roman recipe), salad with salt cured anchovies/feta.



          (BTW, this $10 Portuguese Douro Valley Red was awesome. I need to go back and buy a couple of cases.)

            I bet that was amazing!

          DavidNorcross got me craving CFS. A little overkill on the gravy so you can’t see the crust that much. Mighty good though!

            I agree with tamidw and Henrik. For things like this, I like my gravy just short of thick enough to cut with a knife.

            The gravy turned out really nice, actually. And there is leftovers. I see a biscuit and scrambled eggs in my future!

            Chang them sprouts out for green beans, and you would have one of my favorite meals. I may have to go to the gristmill here in a few...looks like you executed to perfection!

          On Christmas day my daughters were not feeling well and took a home COVID test and both tested positive. A very COVID Christmas for us. We had to cancel two Christmas dinners - One with my wife's side of the family on 12/25 and the other with mine on 12/26. I am not complaining since I have much to be grateful for and it's awful that so many have lost loved ones. So I always try and Focus on the Good!

          So with my kids quarantined at home, I am making them foods that they love. Below are pics of my Chicken Enchiladas Acapulco that I got out of the LA times back in 1987. Both my daughters love these enchiladas. Good old home cooking!

            OOH, that looks good! A Mexican version of Jewish chicken soup with matzoh balls. That should beat the c**p out of those 'rona' bad boys.

            That will fix em right up!

          Well, New Year’s Eve is coming up, and THE most common main dish in Sweden is Beef tenderloin. Now yours truly was interviewed by a local newspaper (Eskilstuna-Kuriren), they did a profile piece on me, and I shared some tips and tricks as well as suggestions for a 3 course dinner (all on the grill). Good times!

          Anywho, of course I’ll share with you all esteemed pit members. You’re all well familiar with smoking and reverse searing, so no need to knock in open doors. BUT: I suggest two things in the article that improves things:

          1. Fold the thin end back and truss it tight. This makes the tenderloin evenly thick, and it’s all done at the same time.

          2. use a ground coffee/black pepper rub, 2:1 ratio. Boom!

          Check out the photo I took for the paper, doesn’t look too bad now does it? 😁

            texastweeter - as an old Swedish world champion (Ingemar Stenmark) in slalom once said:

            "It's funny, the more I practise the luckier I get" :-)

            Thanks man!

          Haha.. this is awesome. I can't read the article with Henrik since the paper requires a subscription but.... the title is great.
