I see more spatchedcock chicken in my future.

[HotSun]

haha, me too. Roasters are on sale.

[Finster]

The last long hots from my garden..
stuffed with prosciutto and provolone.


Marinated chicken breast and zucchini rounds

kinda sad that it's getting close to the end of weeknight grilling season..

[jfmorris]

Looks great, and you have a good point. I think I am going to put a new flood light over my grills, as the darkness killed my grilling last winter. Of course, it also gave me an opportunity to use my wok inside…

[jfmorris]

For tonight I was trying to use up some fresh veggies that Yvonne cut up yesterday, and found a big bag of frozen peeled and deveined shrimp in the freezer. So… finding inspiration from “The Wok” (got for my birthday in August), I made my own rendition on Kung Pao Shrimp. Kenji’s version doesn’t have many veggies. Mine has onion, broccoli, red bell pepper and some peas. And peanuts of course. I had to sub a few ingredients and used Flatiron Pepper Co. Asian Reds in place of the called for hot peppers. It was perfect according to the other half… (buy them STEbbq ).

Wrapping things up in the wok…



And on my plate. Served with brown basmati that I turned yellow using a packet of Sazon Goya…

[Jim White]

My wok looks exactly like that, too. I stopped worrying about it long ago.

[Clawbear57]

The stir fry looks delicious.

[STEbbq]

Amanda is in Europe for two weeks Jim, but she has agreed to review the peppers when she returns. We have 2 bottles of cracked red peppers so I feel like this is going to work out in terms of upgrading because she uses hot peppers frequently. I am hoping to get 4 jars so maybe she will pick the Asian ones?

[Clawbear57]

the pics. aren't that great. Smoked spare and baby back ribs a no d salmon.

[troymeister]

I'll bet they're delicious!

[Clawbear57]

They were delicious. Thanks

[Richard Chrz]

Good to see you back sharing cooks!

[barelfly]

I recently came across a great YouTube channel - Yeung Man Cooking - his videos are captivating, specifically with his cadence of speech. But the overall videos are great as well and the food he makes looks amazing. I saw this video today for Peanut Butter Udon Noodles and thought….yep, gonna make this tonight!

But, udon noodles are a no go in our house because they are not gluten free. Enter - thick vermicelli rice noodle! I picked these up at the Asian market a while back but have yet to use them. OMG these are my favorite noodles now! I can’t believe how good these were. So much, I think these will become our GF spaghetti noodles as well.

The recipe, as most dishes like this, super simple. I like to think of this as a peanut butter garlic chile oil noodle dish….it does not disappoint!

[barelfly]

mnavarre - great call! And I have tahini…I should’ve thought of that. I even looked at the bottle when I was getting ingredients out of the fridge. Next time!

SheilaAnn - I sent to you in a message as a Paprika file. The recipe is in a YT video, I had to enter it manually to Paprika, but it is posted above now.

[Michael_in_TX]

barelfly Thank you for the channel suggestion! His dishes look remarkable and supremely flavorful. I've found three so far I want to try. And you're right, his videography background really shines through. As a part-time audio engineer, his audio is absolutely perfect.

[barelfly]

Michael_in_TX - I’ve made his regular garlic chile noodles as well. And a few others, but I don’t remember off hand. I’ll have to look through Paprika and see if it’s in there. I do wish getting the recipe was easier, but that’s ok. The fact it’s on YT for us to write down is good enough!

And he has a video out that talks about how he started his channel - he combined both his work as a videographer and food lover….friends encouraged him to do it. It’s a cool story! And glad you enjoyed!

[STEbbq]

Premade pupusas (seasoned meat with cheese in flat bread that originated in El Salvador) topped with sour cream, green onions, homemade pickled onions, a bit more cheese, and sprinkled with corn. Traditionally supposed to be served with salsa and spicy cabbage slaw and eaten with your hands. Oops.

But you know, I am eating out of the freezer to make room for my glorious Creekstone brisket that I currently don’t have room to store! Must find room before tthey sell out.

Anyway, I think it was a colorful presentation!

[barelfly]

Yum! We buy these at the market as well, love them and such a quick and easy meal! What we get are called arepas, but they are the same thing (we’ve only had cheese).

[SheilaAnn]

STEbbq as I was reading your post, I’m all, “where’s the cabbage!?”

We get pupusa with beans usually. I’ve also had them with spicy pork. So good! Yours look awesome.

[mnavarre]

Burger.



Mayo, lettuce, tomato, American, and bourbon bacon onion jam. On homemade buns. The onion jam is just fantastic.

[theroc]

Back from vacation so needed a quick dinner. Beef filet and vegetable kebabs over couscous.

[Richard Chrz]

Great looking meal, love those skewers!

[Henrik]

Got my hands on two nice ribeyes, and since it’s Friday I did the only sensible thing: Bookmaker’s Toast!

Gave them a good front sear, fried the sour dough bread in lots of butter, made a Dijon crème and grated some horseradish. So simple, so good! Will def do this again 👌

[Richard Chrz]

Great cook, I love setting a yolk down on a steak like this.

[texastweeter]

So a salad, lol. Looks great

[fzxdoc]

Oh my. Looks amazing!

[SammyJ]

Love doing Sous vide steaks


Seared in Bacon Fat



Good eats

[texastweeter]

I often sear steak in bacon grease

[Jim White]

Comfort food was definitely in order tonight.

Whipped up a thick chili with ground round and some crushed tomatoes. It had a chile paste made from two anchos, one pasilla and one guajillo rehydrated in beef broth before hitting the blender.



That got layered in a casserole dish with cream cheese, shredded cheeses, green onion, a jalapeno, a serrano and a layer of grocery store black bean and corn salsa.

Then into the oven for a while to melt everything together.



For serving, no fork needed! Just put onto a plate and have at it with some Tostitos Scoops!



This is modeled on a midwestern concoction that Lisa's mother called Mexican Pizza. I'm pretty sure the original recipe called for canned chili. But with all fresh ingredients and a few enhancements, this is a dish that hits home remarkably well.

[Clawbear57]

I think I could like this.

[ofelles]

Heck yes.

[fzxdoc]

I'm so going to steal this recipe. Looks so good, especially with that mix of peppers.

My signature dish: grilled chicken tacos. I could eat this every day.

[STEbbq]

Oh, tacos? Must be….(scroll up)….yup Michael!

I got your number buddy. Also, I love tacos too. So you, me, and barelfly can be in the taco club.

[barelfly]

I had brisket green chile tacos tonight purchased though at our fav spot at the lake!

[ecowper]

Stacy is off in Oregon to see the youngest daughter, I’m home with the dogs. So, here’s the bachelor dinner!

New York Strip cooked in carbon steel and a Greek salad. DeBuyer continues to be amazing. 4 minutes per side on the stove top and then 4 minutes in a 400F oven. Came out at 130F internal, rested for 5 minutes while i put the salad together.

[Michael_in_TX]

Love that...NY Strip is my favorite cut.

[ecowper]

Michael_in_TX mine too!

[Clawbear57]

Did the salad happen? Loved the steak tho😊.

[theroc]

Smoke roasted king salmon over an oak fire in the Buckaroo. Served with Richard Chrz 's potatoes .

[Panhead John]

You left a drop of potato juice on the plate near bottom center! The horror! 😂

[STEbbq]

I agree Panhead John . Ruined meal. Best send it to me and I can dispose of it.

[Clawbear57]

I can eat salmon any day. Delicious.
