    When it’s one tick on the positive side of nil, you don’t always feel like cooking out of doors.

    Bacon wrapped tenderloin - AKA tenderloin scraps they can’t sell as filet mignon jammed in bacon. Still mighty tasty despite the cooking process.

    Today was another #BBQDriveBy. Got started on it yesterday by making a couple of loaves of King Arthur New England Anadama Bread. Also made a batch of Mango Sweet Chili Sauce, although this batch got mostly sweet red peppers and just a tiny bit of jalapeno since one recipient doesn't go very spicy.

    The star of the show, though, was pork loin that had been dry brined overnight with Bad Byron's Butt Rub.

    Had a scare part way through the cook when my pit probe crapped out on me. I was able to find an old one that still worked, so I didn't have to fly "blind" for very long. Can't believe how dependent I am on watching the cook that closely...

      I lived in Gloucester MA for a while and Anadama bread was very popular there. Made great french toast.

      Way back in the days that I was actually still working a job and there were kids in the house, we had a bread machine. Anadama was one of the recipes in the book that came with the machine and we made a lot of it. It's probably been 15 years or so since I made any, and this was so nice to enjoy again. And yes, I did have some killer toast with the last two slices.

    Cleaning out left over ingredients from the fridge.

    I had two chicken thighs, 1/2 can tomato puree, and the garlic rice left from the Tikka Masala cook the other day. I based this loosely on Troutman's Country Chicken Recipe: https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...by-step-recipe . I seasoned the thighs with SPGO then sifted some flour onto all sides. I did this on my cutting board so the excess seasoning and flour was easy to scrape off into the dish later.

    I browned the chicken in oil, removed it, and then sauteed some shallots in the oil. I added some dried wood ear mushrooms that I reconstituted and coarsely chopped and sauteed another minute. I added 1/2 c sherry and cooked it down then I added the seasoned flour from the cutting board. I cooked it a minute or so and added the tomato puree followed by about 2 c chicken broth and a large clove of garlic - pressed. I added a bay leaf and some fresh rosemary, added the chicken back, and simmered 30 minutes. I thickened it with a little corn starch and served over the leftover garlic rice. Yum! Really hit the spot on this cold rainy evening.

      Looks really good indeed!

    I've been itching to make another pizza on the Big Green Egg using my pizza stone, and I had set yesterday to be the day. I made the dough the day before, had all my stuff ready to go, and was ready to do it when I got home from work yesterday

    Well it turned out it was pouring rain, so using the Big Green Egg was out. Rather than ditching the entire plan for pizza I used the pizza stone in the oven instead. Not ideal but it definitely still worked and the pizza was great. As you can see, the first pizza turned out a little lopsided but the second one was more round. Both of them were extremely good and were devoured quickly

      PIZZA!

    When the world shut down last March my job doubled - I was working 70-80 hour weeks. That continued for the rest of the year, slightly tapering off as we got closer to winter. My pit got zero use during that time.

    A couple weeks ago I re-broke-in my offset stickburner with a few racks of baby backs. It was nice to get back out there again and smell the wood burning.

    Picked up a Prime packer from Costco (aged 30 days) and that is today’s dinner!

    Yesterday I chopped wood and got the pit ready. This morning there was a little rain, so my cook started a little later than planned, but we’ll still be on track for dinner!

    While the pit was heating up I trimmed the brisket and hit it with Dalmatian rub (50/50 coarse kosher salt and coarse ground black pepper).

    This is easily my first brisket in a year, and I couldn’t be happier!

    ...I’ll try to remember to take after photos.

      A cut I have not seen or tried. It looks great!

    Got a chicken from the farmer's market to put on the Big Green Egg today. Yesterday rain ruined my grilling, and I ended up making the pizzas indoor in the oven

    I wasn't gonna let rain hold me back again today, and it was raining on & off. So I set up a high-tech, state-of-the-art rain deflection system (umbrella popped up against a ladder)... problem solved.

    Chicken turned out amazing, had some broccoli on the side. Wife raved about it, big success. Followed one of the recipes on this site:

      Today was try to use up some leftovers in the fridge. So I tried to do some carnitas-style with the leftover pork tenderloin. This was okay, but I forgot that the reason pork butt crisps nicely it is already cooked north of 200 degrees. While I did brown up the tenderloin slices, I ended up cooking them too much.

      No problem that Tapatio, bacon (leftover), and sour cream (leftover) can't fix or at least mask.

          fzxdoc we both liked the results. It was an easy recipe and the cold pan technique for the chicken is a keeper.

          And thanks for reminding me to add it to Paprika I should really be using the app more often to give it a fair assessment.

          I'm spoilt and buy excellent premixed biltong rubs with salt added. I'll PM you a basic method and a good starter rub that you can add some of your own preferred favourite spices.

          You can’t go wrong with long, slow cooking in a cast iron dutch oven. Start with good ingredients, put the lid on and let the magic happen!

          I bet it came out great!
