Basher Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 I’m getting there. I got a total of 6 avocados from two trees this year out of a total of 6 trees that planted bud only 3 flowered last year. This year they all flowered and are much larger so I’m hoping for a bumper crop next year. All my plants exploded this past 4-6 weeks due to all the rain we got all winter. this is year 3 for all my trees and avocado trees really take 5-7 years down here to start really producing Next year I should be in great shape with my avocados but my citrus & peach tree are so overrun with fruit that I’ve had to thin some branches so they didn’t break Troble mates grow plenty of avo’s around here. Mulch them heavily and they will return for you.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 It is still unseasonably cold here in England but @Troble's avocados and @tony b's corn are beacons of hope. Roll on summer! Lovely cooks all round. I think I will finally give in and start on my late breakfast. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troble Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 Pork tenderloin, air fryer potatoes & asparagus 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 Yum @Troble. Your pork tenderloin looks perfectly moist. Here we are having a surfeit of asparagus. I planted 30 crowns five years ago and it means we have a steady stream of asparagus for about 8 weeks. Yummy but I am running out of recipes to try! A simple pan fry like yours is looking very attractive for yesterday's crop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troble Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) @tekobo I am a big fan of using the half grate for indirect cooking of the meat then reverse searing on the cast iron pan with some Irish butter. While the meat is resting I cook the veg usually carrots or asparagus in the leftover pan juices. Edited May 14, 2023 by Troble 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remi Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 The KK has been quiet for a couple of months as we were travelling for 6 weeks, and prior to that clearing the freezer of leftovers to leave some space for the house sitter… Finally had a chance to fire it up today for Mother’s Day- my partner loves a scotch fillet steak, so I made her surf and turf with prawns done in a cast iron pan with chilli, garlic, parsley and shed loads of butter. A great success! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troble Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 Wife asked for brisket, Caesar salad & mashed potatoes for Mother’s Day. That what she got still working on my Peruvian brisket. This was a big step forward. Made a run with a packet of aji armarillo, aji panca, salt, cumin & black pepper made a marinade of soy sauce, pisco, aji armarillo paste and rubbed that on the meat before using the dry rub. Let sit 36 hours also used the soy sauce mixture to “mop” the brisket instead of spraying it with apple juice like I normally do. Turned out good. Little soy sauce heavy but had a nice spicy kick on the bark. Wife & mother in law liked it and my girls inhaled it. Happy Mothers Day! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C6Bill Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) I’ve been doing simple stuff lately, wings and steaks so decided to get back to a nice low and slow cook for the holiday weekend. I took a slab of SRF Black grade plate ribs out of the freezer. Started slow at 235 as we wanted to take a nice long walk on this beautiful spring morning. later in the cook I went to 250. Seven hours naked and two hours wrapped in paper. I really could have left them in an hour longer but IT was 200 and they probed like butter so I pulled them off. Rub was Holy Cow, it’s all I use on beef. So moist and tender, but so rich, can only eat so much. But I added broccoli to the plate so it was a nice healthy dish 😁 Edited May 28, 2023 by C6Bill 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
