You have gone all out with the attire and the dinner plate.

Things are looking goooooooooooood.

Looks lovely and I'm sure it tasted wonderful but just wait until you do the same cook on your new KK.

Tony, those are some great looking beers.

Thanks, Tony, I looked at corned beef but the packages looked terrible so I passed on them. I am looking forward to seeing your pastrami cook, I bet it will be tasty.

I have a few irons in the fire, used the smoking gun to add more smoke flavour to a previously KK cooked chicken. Also getting ready to smoke a pork belly tomorrow and made some mesophilic yogurt for the first time. Dinner is plated. This yogurt was made with Coffee cream, 18% fat. It's going to be my starter. My next batch is on now and I used whole milk, 3.25% fat. We'll what difference that makes. This yogurt is fermented at room temp. Bacon story tomorrow.

One of these days I'm going to do cheeseburgers so I figured I'd better make a batch of perfectly melting cheese. Start with some nice Castillo Cheddar Cheese, some Silk Chili pepper from Burlap & Barrel, also added some Aleppo pepper and then add the required sodium citrate.(14g for 380g cheese) Melted and poured it onto a silicon mat. When it cools I used a cookie cutter to make the patties. I have about 10 of these slices. Now when I melt these over burgers the fat will not separate from the cheese.

Lovely colour on that chicken.

Great to have your visitors back they won't make their way to my house until around the 10th of May so I still have some waiting to do.

Alimac, things are looking tasty and those ribs seem to have quite a bit of meat on them.

What a weekend you are having. Everything is looking sooooooo tasty. Everyone will think you have a new aftershave lotion.

Tony, what a lovely dinner, I am starving and your delicious dinner is not helping one bit.

What a feast, Steve and I am so hungry my stomach is aching, your tasty pixs are killing me.

@Aussie, alfoil would kill it just like a fire. I am going to use the dehydrator next time just to make the fuel is dry.

Don't tell me you've got hummingbirds already.

Tony, you are eating high on the hog tonight. Isn't it wonderful to have temp above freezing. It's like a heat wave.

Exactly, Tyrus.

@Tyrus, I think that yellow flower is a daffodil but it's been a very long winter and the memory is failing.

Oh no, now we need a 3D printer to make our espresso.

Now that's how to get your new KK in place. I am anxiously awaiting the unboxing pixs.

Absolutely stunning, I love that colour. I can only imagine how thrilled you must be. Just wait until you taste the food you cook on your new KK, it will taste better than you ever thought it would.

Too much caffeine will do that to you.

jonj, that is great news.

I read there was a world shortage of beef ribs, some guy in Australia is eating them all.
