So, I decided to try this recipe with chicken wings to go with this weekend of football watching. I marinaded the wings for a day in a vac bag and added a tiny bit more heat to the green sauce. They were a real hit!

But it's snowing out

Feeling a bit rusty with this after 12 months without a KK. I It took me a couple of goes to get the KK lit, the crust didn’t rise so I expect my yeast may have deteriorated?? It ended up ok, not great, but ok. Still, it was enjoyable to potter around lighting the fire and prepping the crust……. And plenty of scope to do improve. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well now that whatever cold/flu i had over the holidays is done with I can get back to cooking and eating As always my lady friend loves duck so as soon as i was feeling up to it i made some for her 👍 And cooked up some of the last winter squash from the garden. In my Christmas stocking was a maple bacon spice from Cuisinart that goes really good with the squash. As always I used Yardbird for the duck, I score the fat and season then vac seal and put in the fridge for a day or two before cooking. I flipped one breast over jusr for the pic, they don't need to be flipped when cooking, just keep it fat side down throughout the cook.

With the wife and kids out of town, decided on a boys bbq/ beers/ movies night. Knocked out a 15lb brisket, given that I was at work during the day, with no one else home, I had to do it hot and fast from the morning. Cooked at 350F with post oak chunks for a bit over 6 hours, had powered through to 204F by the time I got home, so I wrapped in butcher paper and foil, and rested in the cooler for 4hrs. Bark ended up quite thick, but the brisket was still plenty juicy, and appreciated by the boys. By far the fastest brisket I’ve done, and you know what- it was still very good.

AND, you get to play with a blow torch!! 😄

I’m going to go against the grain here… “‘Za” has really grown on me and I find myself using it on occasion. Now I have known one or two people who refer to a pizza as a “wheel” and I can’t get behind that one
