Congrats @jonj! I suspect I won't live long enough to make a 46th wedding anniversary. We celebrate our 18th this weekend.
Gentle but satisying cook last night. I have tried to cook lamb chops tandoori style quite a few times and have not got it right. Largely because I have left the meat exposed to the flame. The smell of burning fat is not great and I finally gave up after The Husband said my previous attempt tasted of petrol of all things! This time I used a drip pan and cooked the chops for longer. Much much better result.
Jerk Pork last night to celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary. Pork tenderloin with Carib Dry Jerk rub grilled with pimento smoke wood, rice & peas cooked in coconut milk, and fresh corn from the cob, served with 2011 Forman Cabernet Sauvignon.
Followed by grilled peaches and vanilla bean ice cream, with a 2008 Merry Edwards Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc.
Craft Mexican lager, homemade fired salsa, and smoked pork shoulder that I’m going to turn into taco’s. I was in a time restraint so I butterflied the pork shoulders and I smoked them hot & fast @ 300F curious to see how they turned out. They got a nice crust that I think will play well in tacos. Total cook time was about 7 hours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
2 pepperoni pizzas. One veggie with red bell pepper, mushrooms & black olives and a prosciutto & arugula pizza with balsamic glaze. All pizza crusts brushed with olive oil and sprinkle of sea salt
For Sunday dinner, first attempt at a spatchcocked chicken. Decided on the buccaneer chicken from Steve R's project smoke; couldn't track down sugarcane so smoked over peach chunks instead. 1hr 45min at 300F, no flipping, basted every 15min - super crisp skin. Superb.
