Thanks both. I was planning to de-bone the quail and grill it spatchcock style because they are easier to eat that way. When I de-frosted the birds I found that our Italian butcher had neatly parcelled them up with a bay leaf on the front and pancetta all around. Had to change cooking plan. Cooked high up for most of the time and then browned low down. Came out juicy - fluke more than plan I suspect! I really enjoyed the pine nut risotto. A do again, particularly as I bought a kilo bag and was wondering how to use them up! I used one of your suggestions this last Friday @tony b. Instead of the usual balancing of sausage (cotechino) in a pan of water, I cooked them sous-vide using Kenji guidance. They came out great and no messing around with pots and water. Thanks.

This post was really timely for me. I had been fretting about a planned meal of chilli with roasted sweet potatoes. The chilli was going to be ready in good time but I had limited time to get home and get the sweet potatoes cooked the way I normally do them - wrapped in foil with butter and baked. Pressure cooking will be a great solution to that time constraint. Will try this "killer app" and report back. By complete coincidence I went back to a pine nut risotto recipe that I had been planning to try for a while. It turns out that you pressure cook the pine nuts for 15 minutes, drain, add stock, prunes and onions cook a bit more and eat. Delicious. Here are the results with grilled quail.

Gorgeous day in the mid 70's. Figured I would take advantage of it. Japanese style dinner on the Konro grill.

Quail wrapped in bacon. Very neat Tekobo. Who said pigs can't fly?

Excellent.

Bruce, I thought you were just testing me.

Tekobo, dinner is looking very tasty. It looks to me like you stuffed the quail, what did you use?

Sorry for your loss. Losing a brother is hard.

Mac I just reread my earlier post good thing you can read between the words I left out snow. Lol

@Aussie Ora - so sorry to hear of your brother's passing. My condolences to you and your family. on the tri tip.

So sorry to hear about your loss, Aussie.

I’m sorry to hear about your brother Aussie my condolences to you and your family. that tri tip looks very yummy all sliced up on you new cutting board.

I am finding this rotisserie is an easy go to, set and forget to cook chooks or any lump of meat. Light the fire, spice the meat, then throw it over the fire. The smell is devine and the flavours haven’t let me down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Put my La Chamba clay pot to work today to make chili and it is going to be hot more ways than one on a cold winter day.

Awesome looking deep dish pequod! I cooked some steak yesterday, quick sear on the KK after an hour in the Sous vide, very tasty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Detroit style deep dish with sourdough crust. This Chicago boy is thinking Detroit wins this round. Was going to use the recipe from “Perfect Pan Pizza”, but it turn out to be nearly identical to my sourdough focaccia recipe, so not much point in departing from that. Here it is.

I'd love to have some of those Thanksgiving turkeys but we did that a month ago so I'm stuck with chicken noodle soup. First the egg noodles. Did the thighs first thing. They were marinated in Tabasco Sweet and Sour and a little pepper Baked. All put together and ready to eat.

I will just leave this here... Happy Thanksgiving

Spatched. Pan o stock. Peach smoke. KK. 'nuff said.

Happy Thanksgiving all! Amish raised 21+ lb spatchcock turkey cooked 400 raised direct over hickory B+B for 2 hours with a flip in between. Resting for 30 minutes and moist as all can be. The legs fell off at 2 hours when pulling for the rest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So...the heavens have parted and a dove descended. Wife and I were at the new house yesterday for the pre-drywall inspection and discussed the patio with the builder whilst we were there. This got wife and I discussing the grill arrangement today. She commented that she didn’t want me to put the Rubbermaid lawn box back there. Too ugly. She suggested something nicer. Like teak, I said? Like teak, she said. This is where the partin’ and descendin’ happened. Says me: I know where I could get a really awesome teak cabinet that fits the boys perfectly, but it might be kinda pricey. Make it so, says she. Once I scraped my jaw off the floor, I set out to show her these fine cabinets at the main KK site...and the link to KK Teakworks is busted! Busted, I say! 😫 @DennisLinkletter - help a brother out, here! Is there a direct link somewhere that shows examples of your fine cabinetry? Below is the rear of the house. The structure straight ahead is a screened in porch. Just to the left is the patio. I’m imagining the boys connected by a teak cabinet positioned at the front left corner of said patio, facing toward the screened in porch.

Have been missing in Action lately my seconded oldest brother just passed away .shook me a lot . But hey .one must carry on..got a nice tri tip from raymond my butcher.and gave it some butcher and gunshot. Sent from my SM-T835 using Tapatalk

Friends up in the UP of Michigan just got hit with almost 2 feet of snow. If this is the same storm, Mackenzie, it's a nasty one. Fortunately, it was just very windy and rainy here.
