  1. dinner from last night. didn't bother putting on a plate just ate off the baking sheet..
  2. made a pizza for lunch with spicy salsiccia. i'm not a fan of the donut pillow cornicione but i need to remember cold dough doesn't want to stretch as much...
  3. i have never cured whole hams, but we are talking about cooked hams like jambon de paris or prosciutto cotto right?
  4. haven't used my kk in months.. i can still hit my temps without apps πŸ˜…
  5. nice job. reminds me i need to do my cart base, but it's stainless topped so its not that straight forward as all wood.
  6. back in bangkok and just had a very good meal at Jeh O Chula. the wait was about an hour, but you can book.. their most popular dish is tom yum soup with MAMA noodles (Thai version of Indomie) with raw egg yolks and several legs of backfin lump crabmeat.. at first glance, it's looks like cheap food i used to make in college, but man is this thing tasty... the crispy pork was some of the best i've had in bangkok. it rivals hk's famed siu yuk.. the stir fried chinese kale was freaking amazing. i believe it was only seasoned with salt fish (a pungent fermented salt cured fish. it's an absolute umami flavour bomb) and the mud crab. simply steamed and loaded with roe and served with magic thai seafood sauce. and the face of the restaurant, the owner i suppose, is this grey haired lady chopping away at crispy pork belly... might ruin someones night if one of these cables got cut accidentally..
  7. @remi nice. i'm probably going back next week to go to learn thai massage πŸ˜„
  8. this is exactly what i ordered. i just need to wait for it to arrive..
  9. cold smoked salmon. i still can't figure out how to get the wood chips to burn for more than 1.5 hours without my intervention. maybe i need a more powerful air pump... but the smoke is intense enough that i just left it over night and it was pretty good flavour.
  10. @Tucker for the rust neutralizer, i bought a loctite alternative. had to order this, the primer and rustoleum paint shipped from the US because amazon can't ship haz mat stuff. the DIY hardware scene in HK is appalling. there are no home depots or lowes here and everything i get in a mom and pop shop is hot garbage from china.
  11. @MsTwiggy looks fantastic. well done πŸ‘Œ
  12. my pizza oven stand is rusting. not terribly, but the paint is peeling on one of the legs and i want to take care of this before it spreads. i'm asking here because i've never done this type of work before and i figure someone here might know. i don't think i can match the color and orange peel texture of the original, but it's on the back side of the cart where nobody will see it. now if i follow these youtube instructions to fix a rusty waste can, would it work on my pizza stand? i don't want to make a big job out of it and i personally can't see myself doing any more than this, but i just want to verify that these methods in the video will solve my problem. basically remove the rust and repaint to a weather resistant finish. this is an outdoor oven that i use a cover with, but water likes to get inside at times when it rains heavy. thanks!
  13. trying on baked wings two of the many spices we bought from the grand bazaar in instabul this year. one was potato chips spice (true to taste) and kfc spice (close but not really)
  14. if you are looking for a controller with more than 4 ports, Fireboard 2 Drive has 6 thermistor ports. Wifi and Bluetooth. if you get this, use the 2 probes supplied until they break, then buy thermoworks probes because they are better made. avoid the Fireboard fan, the cable wraps, the magnetic base. all junk. and get the bbqguru pit viper fan.
  15. @jeffshoaf do you find ice crystals in the mix often? do you find to need to respin a few more times to get the consistency you want? thanks! πŸ™
  16. haha, reviving an old thread i decided to search pacojet and here we are. @tekobo are you still using this machine? these things still cost thousands second hand. i am considering a ninja creami for a fraction of the price since i'm only curious to use one for now..
  17. some updates. after 2 weeks of curing (too long, but whatever), i butterflied and rolled it. now it should be another 2 months drying until target weight...
  18. @MsTwiggy hi and welcome. i also light a wax starter from the bottom floor of the kk for low and slow. this is not what most people do to start charcoal but it works for me. i can only speak of the 19TT, but i get very long slow and low burn times on a full basket using lump charcoal.
  19. ohif you plan on eating curry crab, look for it at early lunch. almost every place we went to for dinner expecting to order curry crab, they were sold out. i made the mistake of booking our hotel the same travel dates but next month. so my wife will come to bangkok again in march on me screwing up.. πŸ˜‚
  20. my google maps list of places to eat and massage. some are closed. some i haven’t been back to in years. the weather now is really good by the way. warm but low humidity. its much comfortable than summertime. https://www.google.com/maps/placelists/list/18p2PCGQPqVfWcA2u7iV7PNs1OWQ
  21. when you come, be prepared to negotiate taxi/tuk tuk prices. nobody goes by the meter anymore. or use grab
  22. we were just at Empornium earlier tonight. bangkok is as crazy as ever, we were thinking of buying an apartment here a few years ago since we travel here so often, but it's just too crazy to live here, even part-time. i asked my wife he she wanted to go to bali for a week since we both never been there, but she loves thailand. oh well maybe next time..
  23. bangkok in a nutshell eat, get a 4 hands thai massage. eat, get a foot massage. eat. get another massage. repeat again the next day..
  24. my dinner 75% of the time when i cook alone...
