    Something a Little Different tonight:

    Authentic East Indian Butter Chicken

    Tadka Dal. Which is Basically Red, Yellow and Green Lentils served with Indian Spices, Red Chilis with Tomato Ginger Garlic.

    Instead of Basmati Rice I made Homemade Roti. Which is basically a Whole Wheat Indian Flatbread....

    This meal was over the top. At least Mrs. Troymeister (Linda) thought so. I actually did too. Cooking this way was a little outside my box. I'm glad I did. I learned a few things and it really infused my senses with a whole lot of different input.

      Seared dry scallop salad. The two darker ones on the left were coated with Omnivore Sicilia sauce then seared. Really good.

        willxfmr - know exactly what you mean. We're fortunate to have a great seafood supplier in town who does home delivery.

        theroc where do you get them from? Is it a place I can shop at? I’m sure delivery to the LBC would be very expensive.

        SheilaAnn (and other SoCal pitmasters) - absolutely. The company is Kai Gourmet in El Segundo.

        Shop our wide selection of fresh seafood. Kai Gourmet offers sashimi quality seafood, premium meats and gourmet products from New Zealand and around the world.


        I don't think you can shop there in person, but they do local delivery and I believe they have curbside pick-up. Their seafood is really, really good. They also have some meat and poultry, although we haven't tried anything other than the seafood.

      Attempting something new for the Christmas meal is always risky but with the help of my son-in-law, an accomplished cook, we smoked a pork crown roast. I used elements from Meathead's and Malcom's recipes to great success. Meathead's stuffing and glaze along with Malcom's AP seasoning made the day!

        Huzzah!

      Cooked some burgers on cast iron last night. Next time I'll do it on the Hasty-Bake, but it's been cold and nasty and I just don't feel like going outside.

        Yup, sometimes a good burger is what’s called for. My "weeknight burger" recipe is easy, juicy, flavorful .... Posted it in recipes for folks. Easy enough to turn out pretty much any weeknight. If you don’t have time, you can skip the 30 minutes in the fridge and go straight from forming the patties to the pan or grill

      Smoked Jalapeño Poppers with maple syrup glaze.

      ingredients:
      10 fresh whole jalapeños

      Two 8oz tubs of cream cheese with chives

      your favorite bbq rub (I used Kosmos honey chipotle killer bee)

      1/4 cup of maple syrup

      Two packages of bacon

      Steps:

      halve jalapeños and cut stem off

      use spoon to scoop out membrane and seeds

      in a bowl, blend cream cheese with a few shakes of the bbq rub

      Fill each jalapeño with cream cheese

      wrap each jalapeño with a piece of bacon

      sprinkle bbq rub over the tops of wrapped jalapeños

      smoke for 25 minutes then brush with maple syrup

      smoke 10 more minutes

      if you want crispier you can broil for 7 minutes in oven

      I used GMG Dave’s Crocket heated to 375 degrees.

        Those look terrific Dr. J. That would be a good fit to go under our "recipes" channel. Are you familiar with that yet?

      It was also burger day at our house. I thawed a package of Hatch Charger green chiles to liven things up. Cooked a few hot dogs, too.

      And for a side, I put the rest of the chiles in some queso.

      As an aside, we couldn't find plain Velveeta (yeah, I'm lazy on some dishes) in the smaller one pound block, so we wound up with "Mexican" which has some jalapenos in it. And with the fresh green chiles, I needed to add tomatoes on their own instead of Ro-Tel. On our last trip to Sam's, we bought a case of 12 of these cans of chopped tomatoes. I'm very impressed with them. They claim only 5 hours field to can, and they certainly taste fresh enough to believe that. They're also steam peeled, so I've been very happy with them in chili and Italian dishes.

        Mr. Bones & SheilaAnn if you two would like, I can put a post together on the pizza page? I warn you though, I ramble, typically without any formation of sense and order. But, I can tell you what I lust about this, and what I understand "so far" I’m a newb still. I just have some control issues, that I am learning to direct it towards my cooking.

        2>YUMMO!!!

        Like how it's got alla th basic Christmastime Colours, in there...

        Gonna be tryin this, lotsa leftovers right now, pardon me if'n I toast my bun(s)

        Might not be traditional, I dunno, but it's what I likeys...

        probly steamed buns, in PA, would be my guess, as a cook...

      Had pulled pork in the freezer, so made pulled pork sandwiches with baked potatoes! My wife found these great rolls (she’s gluten free and I don’t think we’ve had soft rolls like these before). Made for great Pulled pork that was sauced with with Blues Hog Tennessee Red and that pickle on the plate.

        Do not resist sir. It is futile.

      A couple cooks from this week. SVQ New York from Costco. Steak was pasteurized so I wasn't worried about it...but if you click on the picture and look closely you can see the "blade tenderizing". This steak was from a moment of particularly well marbled weakness haha!

      The tacos are Grilled Chicken Street Tacos of my own "thrown together" marinade. Tacos made from scratch as well.

      Altogether a good half-week of cooking!

            So after reading Troutman’s post on chicken hung on the wsm the other day, I got the urge for some. I don’t have the hanging doodad for the wsm yet, then I remembered the HJ Leggie chicken. I had some Wishbone and some Woody’s, so:

            The lighter piece was basted with just Wishbone, the darker with 50/50 Wishbone/Woody’s. Troutman I don’t think I ever commented on the Woody’s, I use it a lot. I really like using it to cut really sweet sauces like Blues Hog.
