MacKenzie - getting a KK? Darlin' I must have missed yet another memo! I thought you already had one! When is your KK scheduled to arrive? What size are you getting? Color? Habe you thought of an appropriate name? Inquiring minds wanna know! This is great! I can hardly wait to see all the uncrating pics of your new KK and especially the wonderful pics of your first KK cook! Have you thought about what your first cook on your new KK will be?

ckreef - that kinda reminds me of having great deep dish in Chicago, but yours is so much better looking! Perfectamundo! Wonderful pics and a killer money shot! Touch 'em all and take a well deserved bow 'cause you knocked this one outt da park!

Tony - that looks mighty tasty!

MacKenzie - young lady, you have this comfort food thing all figured out! What a wonderful cook! Simply beautifully done. Kudos and congrats. And there is that wonderful bread again.

tony - not crazy at all! Just careless when loading the grill. Well, careless and full of bourbon!!! LOL!

ckreef - it just doesn't get any better than that! Congrats on a gorgeous cook. I see you doubled up on the desert. I love grilled pineapple! And that cheesecake is WAY off my diet. Belated Happy Easter to you and your family!

I've also used relatively small onions in as smoke producers down in the firebox as well as smoking wood. Makes a nice addition.

My Father said God invented Grandkids as a way of apologizing for me!

Thanks, Wilbur! A rather appropros meal for Easter I'd say! Very nicely done.

Why do you think God made Grandkids?

Thanks, Shack. I'll give this a try.

Wilbur - just an absolutely wonderful cook! Beautifully photographed. I love that money shot. Did you roast the potatoes in Smaug as well? What was the total time for this cook? Great cook, Wilbur, simply a great cook! Kudos to you.

Shack! Talk about simple! This i have to try! I also want you to know that I feel the pain of your beer brain hangover. Been there done that. I do appreciate you taking the (Silver) bullet for us! Pound on Big Guy. KKers, there's a Hero in every crowd and Cook_Shack is ours!

Shack - I've always oiled my onion before rubbing it across my grills. Am I doing to wrong? You mean I missed yet another memo?

This would have never been done in my Mom's house when I was growing up. Mom had 5 kids to keep occupied and out of trouble. When Mom made apple pies, us kids got a bag of apple, a peeler each, and a quick message to play nice together. That was one hour in the day Mom got some relief! I kinda miss those days. Life was slower. Now we speed peel.

Yeah, I check it out first. I actually bought your recommendation first and then went back to the Brock book. It looked interesting and that was the deal doer. Interesting did the deal. Hell, tony, I wasted more money on cheap booze and expensive dates than that book cost. I figured what the heck!

Shack! That just made my day! Thanks for the big chuckle! Just about the time you think you've seen everything .... LOL!

Tony - they keep surprisingly well! I buy a medium sized jar about once a month and get after it. I love garlic so we use a fair amount for just us two here at ChezChef! I too have use the minced. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!

Talk about Comfort Food! There is nothing better than homemade chicken soup! Just like my Momma used to make. MacKenzie, that looks simply delicious! Kudos and Congrats all over ya!

If you've got a lotta pork to pull, that thing is the way to go. Wow! Necessity is the mother of invention!

tony - Chef John is one of my favorite YouTube channels. That guy is good, witty, and an icon. However, I just buy the peeled garlic. I'm a lazy schmuck! The only time I buy whole heads is when I'm roasting garlic for a party and for the guests to squeeze onto crostini and dip into balsamic vinegar as an appiteaser. Notice that I'm still one lazy schmuck as they are doing all the work!

tony - just grabbed that book off Amazon for $14! It was on deal and the ratings blew me away! Thanks for the pointer. Cookie - thanks for the pointer. I grabbed it as well. Nothing like good old fashioned down home cooking!

Cookie - THE GURU is 5698k when it come s to all things CyberQ and WiFi. The guy has forgotten more than I've ever figured out. Seriously. He's good.

MacKenzie - I'm pulling oars in the boat with Cookie! Make that a two count! LOL!

Wilbur - well, KK cooking must be like riding a bicycle! You certainly can't tell you've be away for Smaug for a while! Those salmon steaks are the bomb and I love the pics of the cook. That money shot is purely delicious. Simply a beautiful cook. Kudos and congrats to you. Thanks for sharing! You and your family have a blessed, happy, and wonderful Easter! Dominus vobiscum!
