Been quite a while since I last posted a cook on here, so thought I would share this one. I really wanted to do something different other than just smoking another Wagyu Prime Rib for the holiday (yes, I know how weird that sounds to say, lol) and I was fortunate enough to acquire this beastie 2 days before Thanksgiving. Prepped with salt, pepper and garlic (kept it simple) and smoked it on the Ultimate 23 for 8.5 hours at 225 degrees using Coco Char with a combo of hickory and plum wood and end result was amazing, the flavor, juiciness, tenderness (and that A5 richness!) were absolutely insane, it literally dissolved on your tongue! Calling this one a HUGE hit with the family is an understatement, will definitely be doing this one again in the future!👍☺ Thank you, Dennis, for making such an amazing grill!!🙏👍👏😊

I got a really weird looking turkey for Thanksgiving this year. But it tasted great 😊

Turkey Day on the KK followed by smoked salmon with honey and the recent post of a recipe of sweet potatoes. That recipe is a keeper, rich, but on occasion oh it's an addition to to the table. I used fresh sage with the fresh garlic, they balanced each other well....from the Out and about post recipe. The Turkey was basted with butter at the end on the skin, it was an easy cook and an enjoyable feast.

After having completed the bookcase, I was asked to create a small 'china' cabinet to fit a specific space and need. It is 49" tall. Made of ash, except the drawer bottoms. Crafted the wine glass rack as well. Stained it walnut, left the interior natural intentionally.

My sister asked for a teak wine rack, and I love the results. It's one of my favorite projects in 35 years of building furniture professionally. These are my hand-hewn teak floors. https://handhewnfloors.com

While taking a mini vacation this week I stopped into a shop and picked up a cook book, as soon as I did it felt comfortable in my hand like a warm glove. It might have been the cover that was lightly stuffed or all the fine illustrations inside while thumbing through, anyway I found the recipes simpler and easy to follow, not requiring added steps with multiple utensils needed to complete. In there I found many suitable and easy to try for this coming holiday, here are two if interested. I believe the two autor/chefs are from England and have a restaurant, a place called Notting Hill or Nottingham if you live thereabouts. So for me anything that can simplify the process, keep the dishes looking top shelf and doesn't take half the day is right up my alley. Not to mention they appear all KK friendly. Happy Thanksgiving wherever you may be

Much easier.. KISS works here.. These photos are of the mockup.. In the final version, the gap between the two triangles is filled.

HASEGAWA PRO-SOFT RUBBER WOOD CORE CUTTING BOARD FSR 19.7" X 13.8" X 0.8" HT Traveling solo in Japan, I'd often sit at bars where I could watch chefs work. I learn, and I have always taught my math students to learn, by absorbing the mindsets of others I admire. Cooking isn't following lists of ingredients. This is the class of board I always saw at the stations that relied on knife technique. I now have several sizes, duplicated when I had two kitchens. I consider these the canonical answer to your question, with the same certainty as "the JVR Vac-100 is far and away the best entry level chamber vacuum machine" (again I bought one for each kitchen, in each case replacing a far clunkier VacMaster). They do stain. One can ignore this, or soak with a mixture of bleach and water. My "Made in Japan" hall of fame also includes items one would expect to buy from China: the best cleaver and best wok I've ever owned, again duplicated while I had two kitchens. We saw the New York wok last night in constant use yesterday at California friends' Thanksgiving, for various veggie sides. They ship worldwide: Tojiro DP 3-Layer Chinese Cleaver 225mm (thin blade) Yamada Hammered Iron Round Bottom Wok (1.6mm Thickness) Yamada Hammered Iron Flat Bottom Wok (1.6mm Thickness)

Wow, I love your design. I'm very happy with my pragmatic design, using metal grids. And I usually cringe at the loss of bottle density in most "artistic" designs. Yours is great looking, celebrates wood, and doesn't give up bottle density. With the right jig and a great router table (I have Jessem's best table) can one knock out your vertical elements? I'd cut V's so the boards mated with the eighth turn bigger sticks. Or do I have this wrong?

Only photo from Thursday

Made a book case for a friend. Walnut w/ hardwax oil finish.

Oh my !!!!! That looks amazing !!!! Love that crust, i might have to try that method

WOW!

A distant cousin I presume, it only had one leg....I'm sure your didn't mind.

That turkey does look good, but this year I am on my own for turkey day again so I'll be throwing a tomahawk on the KK 😀

Roasted a chicken tonight based on a recipe by Samin Nosrat. Served with basmati rice, some veges and the green sauce from @Troble’s famous recipe. It turned out great- crispy skin and super juicy.
