Baked in the oven. It was a late supper but it was tasty.   Never say die.:)

Learned that motto at your knee Mac!  Keep going and it will turn out right at the end.  Yummy looking pizza.

I'd like to introduce my new slow cooker, it held the temp perfectly for the 4 hour cook of my Slow Cooker Campfire Potatoes.

My first time making these but not my last, 

Here's my slow cooker just approaching the 300F mark.

Campfire potatoes on the grill.

4 hours later and no peeking.

Plated.

Veggies from last summer's garden.

That's dedication - 4 hours to make potatoes!!! Seriously? They'd better be awesome to invest that much time.

So, 1st cook with my "cheapo" Trombo King vertical spit. Chicken Shawarma from Trader Joes. I used the double drip pan. Main grate, 325F for an hour before starting to slice.

Started slicing off about every 20 minutes.

All done.

Flour tortillas (purchased!), tzatziki sauce, tomatoes and red onions. Side salad. Crazy Hazy IPA from a local brewery. 

Close up.

Easy, peasy cook. Soaking the vertical spit in PBW. Left the drip pan in the KK to cool off. It will get soaked likewise today. 

Next up - the Al Pastor tacos!!

Looks tasty, Tony.

I went to my butcher looking for a Pork belly and he came out with the meatiest porka I ever saw, a 12 and 1/2 lb'er.  Gorgeous and skinned perfectly wrapped in airtight vacuum seal. I'll skip the naked pics and show you the finished. Dry brined with maple syrup and some Makers Mark with the pink curing salt, brown or turinado sugar, salt, cayenne, pepper and some dry thyme. Sliced in two because the piece was quite big to cure as a whole then after a week set on the Lang Smoker over apple, cherry, at 180-210 for 3hrs to 150 degrees.

These pieces were sliced up approx 1/4 in. or a shave less to serve as appetizers. The imagination with larger slice gives way to a Konro or even in the KK, but easily done in a skillet. At restaurants nearby they serve these cooked on a bamboo skewer or clipped on the ends of a serving tree dressed in butterscotch sweet sauce and drizzled with Turbinado sugar. Served with your favorite drink, it pairs well with all, it's bacon of course. That old Case xx I found at 2nd hand store worked out as a nice slicer, fingers intact.

Looks delicious, Tyrus.  I hope to be doing one in the near future, once we open up from COVID restrictions so I can get the belly.

You musta read my mind Mac, when I did this you always come to mind as making some great bacon. I believe you have a slicer because your cuts always look perfect. Definitely try out a sweet mix on these for guests, it's a winner.

Would I ever enjoy a slice or two of those pizzas for breakfast this snowy morning.

So, ya'll got some of that freak spring snow I just read about? Sorry! 😢

It's sunny and bumping 60F again here today.

Last night's dinner was a grilled version of Hungarian Paprikash porkchops. Pork chops were marinated in Shio Koji, garlic and a blend of 5 paprikas/chilies (Hot, Sweet, Pimenton, Piment D'espelette, and Chimayo Red.) On the main grate, direct @ 325F, with apple wood chunks.

Then into the traditional sauce of caramelized onions, garlic, white wine, the same paprika/chile blend in the marinade, and the sour cream. Plated with egg noodles and blanched green beans in a caper, tarragon and red onion vinaigrette.

Our forecast for early part of next week is decidedly colder (low-to-mid-40s) with a slight chance of some flurries on Tuesday morning.

Just enjoyed the slightly above average  BBQ @Legoland, Brisket, rib rack and a stone IPA going on roller coasters with my kids. Couldn’t be happier to not be cooking and paying amusement park prices again

We had some snow today and may get some more tonight.
