Some sauna night tacos. It rained the whole time, never switched over to snow. However, the show must go on. What kind of men would we be if we let some weather stop us from our weekly fellowship around the gentlemen’s fire? (I say that now as we currently have a power outage and we have 2 inches of snow on top of an inch of ice)

These were fire braised Dutch oven Birra tacos from my own recipe I have been honing big time the last couple months. Served with cilantro, onion, radish, creama, hot sauce, half a jalapeño and a fried tortilla. Unbelievable tacos.

Working from home today so I have time for a bit of breakfast that doesn’t come out of the microwave.

Andouille and eggs sounded pretty good so why not. First I fired up some onion and garlic in butter then browned / heated the sausage. Added 3 beat eggs and some taco cheese and Bobs your uncle!

Fast, simple and delish!!!

I had a double smoke ham I had to use up frim this weekend. So I made some Senate Navy Bean Soup. Plus seeing as I would be stuck by the stove and I was running low, I made some chicken stock also

Smoked Eastern NC Style BBQ

Trimmed and injected pork butts using an Eastern NC mopping sauce recipe from Scott Bailey at “Therealshowbbq”. Smoked for 6 hrs between 225°F-250°F before hitting the stall at 165°F. Mopped every hr to help build that vinegary bark before wrapping in foil with a little apple juice, butter and brown sugar. Increased temp to 275°F while wrapped before pulling off at probe tender, ranging between 203°-207°F. Next step…feast at the work Christmas Party!

This dang cold weather this week. Barely out of the 30s today but the wind kept the feels like temp at 33. So…..after a cold bike ride came home and made Oma’s Goulash! My parent’s were on a European trip this summer and while in Budapest they brought me some paprika. First time I’ve been able to use it as I didn’t want too many jars open. This was great and hit the spot for a cold night.

Oma’s Goulash served over smashed potatoes with flank steak
