      Andrrr I just mixed up some dried herbs and spices. No dry brine, no pat dry, no oil. I mixed up some salt, pepper, garlic powder, a touch of cumin, onion powder, parsley, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and a whole bunch of sweet heat pepper flakes from Flat Iron. The vortex does such a good job with chicken that no tricks are needed for crispy skin.

      Those look great. I might have to do some thighs that way.

      Looks great! Our favorite way to cook thighs.

    Here's a quick and fun meal, take some Gulf shrimp, your favorite sausage and some pineapple and skewer them. Throw them on the old gasser and whalaaa....you're eaten good in half the time. Great mid-week meal.

      Taters look pretty good too!

    Sichuan-style alkaline noodles. My first ever attempt at any kind of homemade noodles. I used a stand mixer and then a hand-cranked pasta machine. Three first half of the batch I made the mistaken of cutting the sheet in half before it into noodles. They are actually much nicer left whole (about 24 inches.) Tonight I will make something with them, probably cold sesame noodles.

      I should have mentioned that making these involved baking some baking soda in the oven to convert it from sodium bicarbonate into sodium carbonate for making the "lye water" alkalizing solution needed for the noodles.

      Dewesq55 For our hot tub maintenance, there is both sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), which buffers, and sodium carbonate (soda ash, very alkaline) which is often labeled as 'pH increaser'. Could this be used and save a step?

    Reverse seared ribeye & collard greens for supper tonight. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice about the ribeye in that that other thread, it turned out great!

ID:	977808 It was a tad bit warmer today here in the Milwaukee, WI area today. A high of 40! Whoo Hoo! 🙄

    Anyway, I ran out and picked up some chicken thighs and fired up the mini gasser. Nothing special but tasty none the less. Photos suck as usual though. Only got the launch and leftovers.

    Special shout out to Sweaty Paul as I used the Ernestines bbq sauce he gifted me for the Secret Santa thing. It was awesome.

      Since SheilaAnn put up her Sheila-quiles recently, I haven't been able to stop thinking about making something akin to chilaquiles. So today was the day.

      I baked some corn tortillas until they were fairly dry and crispy, then tore them into pieces.

      Had some chicken I had thawed previously and then got left behind when our plans changed. I stewed it up with some chipotles, onion, corn and a tomato in some chicken broth.

      Stirred in some beaten eggs and cooked until the eggs were done, then layered on the tortillas and topped with shredded cheese (no cojita on hand, sadly). Baked a while and broiled to brown the cheese.

      Came out a bit more casserole-like than intended, but was pretty good eating topped with sour cream and salsa. My wife did comment she expected the tortillas to be a bit crisper. Oh well.

        Quite the exotic dinner, Dewesq55 . I'm envious. Not sure I'd tackle noodle making. It sure sounds delicious.

        fzxdoc - If you have a stand mixer and a pasta machine, it's really pretty easy. Fortunately, I have both. The pasta machine, however, is Barbara's from before we were together. We've been together for 16 years and neither of us has used it in that time. I had never used one before. I watched a couple of YouTube videos and I was good to go. I wanted to make alkaline noodles, but Chinese egg noodles can be used pretty much interchangeably and have no exotic ingredients.

        Very impressive! Now, with just a little bit of lamb..........

      Another raid the freezer dinner. Had a few sous vide turkey wings leftover from Thanksgiving. Cooked them quasi-confit around thanksgiving and never got around to serving/using them so chucked them in the freezer. So I took the meat off the bone and made a turkey pot pie with the meat and some puff pastry I had in the freezer. Was excellent for this cold night.

        Made Chris Bianco’s pizza dough with pepperoni and mozzarella. I also made a Frankenstein for my wife who unfortunately is allergic to milk. White BBQ sauce chicken pizza with pickled red onions, pine nuts, herbs de Provence, and fresh ground smokey Flatiron smokey blend pepper flakes. The chicken and sauce were leftover from Malcolm Reeds chicken sliders where I used Amazingribs bob gibson sauce recipe for the sauce.

          SheilaAnn oven. My gas oven goes up to 550 and I finally got a pizza peel for Christmas. This summer when it’s not -10 F outside my kamado will be spitting out some pizzas for sure.

          I need some crusty bread to sop all that up with!!

        Smoked up a pork loin tonight. It was $15 at Costco but they had $4 off when I bought it so $11 for about an 8 pound loin. Hard to get much cheaper for a great meal. Rubbed with Sasquatch BBQ Erubtion rub and then glazed at the end with some homemade bbq sauce.

          Oh my!

        I'm terrible at getting in here on my phone (where all my pictures are) so I sent a couple to my email so I can use my PC. Here is just a slow cooker pot roast I put together on a lunch break for dinner. Husband said it was best roast he's had. Nothing special done to it, but it was tasty.

        The next thing I had made was smash burgers on the flattop using an 80/20 mix of beef and bacon we got from our local butcher. They were awesome! We have started really liking the burgers on bread rather than buns.

          Love the pot roast! I just came back from the store where I bought a marked-down chuck roast. It's finally turning cold (and maybe wet) in southern California, so I need to dust off the crock pot.
