    Chicken Vesuvio, a Chicago favorite. This follows the NYT version, (Recipe from La Scarola
    Adapted by Margaux Laskey) https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/...hicken-vesuvio There are many versions, but this is a southern Italian meal. My neighbors in the blue collar Chicago suburb I grew up in the 50s, 60s, were from Sicily and Calabria. Tons of garlic, of course.

    I made enough for 6 adults, 5 grandkids, but used very large Idaho bakers, and ended up with more potatoes than chicken. Modified by using carrots. Didn't add peas this time, but if you do, add at the end. And, do not forget the lemon! Be generous with the lemon (I included the zest.) The caramelized sauce in the pans, at the end of the cook, is incredible.

    What do you do when you’ve got a dozen or so leftover smash burgers 2 days later? Why, chop then up and use what you can find in the pantry to make a pot of chili! It needs to simmer for a couple hours to thicken up before dinner time...

    Edit: was a bit on the spicy side, but excellent washed down with a strawberry berlinerweisse...

      HouseHomey a Berliner Weiss is a sour German style wheat beer. In this case I added strawberry purée to the fermenter about a week into fermentation. It’s a crisp, tart and fairly low alcohol beer - about 4%.

      Wow. That sounds delicious!! I like sour beer. My brother who is an”Beer Guy” for a very long time introduced them to me some years ago. I only remember the name of one commercial type brand of beer. That was Rodenback (spelling??) or something like that. I liked several he had me try.

ID:	996585 We had a heat wave of sorts up here in WI today. Hi was 51 per my weather app. So it was time to stop being a whimp complaining about being cold and get smokin’!

    Anyway, I posted a few days ago asking for ideas to amp up my pork tenderloin game. Tons of amazing responses. The overwhelming theme was stuff them! So I did. Meats, cheese, veggie, and spices. Did a riff on a video one of you posted of the bbq pit boys doing an Italian style stuffed whole loin. Stuffed and smoked on the Recteq. Turned out delish.

      I could have driven over back when I was at Urbana, but that was likely 20 years before you were born! (Are you a pilot, and are you still in the military?)

    The Cuban sandwiches we had a few days ago we're so good we had to make them again for lunch today.

      Looks really good! In Minnesota we'd call that a variation of "Tater Tot Hotdish" which is considered a staple by some Minnesotans.

    My first attempt of a "chuckie". I think I left it on too long for as lean as it was. Dry brined and cracked pepper is all I did. Smoked on a WSM 18”. Tastes pretty good. Bought from a local butcher shop but was quite lean and I shoulda checked about an hour earlier.

      I’ve found there’s a wide range of marbling in chuck roasts. I’ve smoked lean looking ones and was disappointed. You need to find a well marbled one to smoke, they are fantastic!

      What HouseHomey said. There's always a fix for that flavor bomb of a chuckie that you have there. Chunk it up and toss it in some chili works too.

    Since it was balmy spring like weather I did my third cook outdoors in the last 6 months. I’ll be honest & say thanks for being able to share it with ya’ll. It is a Kenji/FireMan/Pepin Hamburger. Saw it by Kenji with a couple of his twists on his idol Jacque Pepin, then I gave it a couple of kicks. It is 2/3 venison, 1/3 beef as a mixture, Iceberg lettuce, a slice of vine ripened tomatoe, Kenji/Pepin used gryere cheese. I used some Fontina ($13 a #) & salted the patties right at the end with a kick of some salt I picked up, wow! Rubbed the buns with garlic as they did. So, my touches were the cheese, venison & the salt (wow #2). Dang if it wasn’t one of the tastiest burgers I’ve had. The derb got half of a burger minus the Salt de Hell.

      I like how the ghost pepper salt is colored with a little turmeric, probably so you won't confuse the salt with regular salt, kinda the same way prague powder is colored pink.

      That is one amazing looking burger there! I need to pick up some of that salt. Then again, I usually get accused of making stuff too spicy with what's already in the pantry, haha.

    Not sure how this ended up as a post, and not a comment to a post. But if I had to guess the error occurred between the chair and the keyboard.
