Everyday Misc Cooking Photos w/ details

Catching up after a couple of cooks. First up, a nice roadkill chicken - pre-marinated lemon/rosemary from Trader Joes. Cooked direct on the upper grate, with apple wood chunks, @ 350F. 

Plated with red potatoes roasted in duck fat, with sautéed asparagus with a "mock" hollandaise (I had some leftover aioli that I add some melted butter and lemon juice to - a fair approximation).

 

Last night it was bacon-wrapped pork tenderloins. Cooked direct on the main grate, with Dizzy Pig Dizzy Dust, @ 325F, with peach and hickory chunks.

Plated with roasted red cabbage, with a bacon & parmesan gremolata, and a nice whole grain mustard pan sauce.

I cooked some chilli overnight using a recipe that @Braai-Q kindly gave me.  

Here it is in the KK last night

Here it is for breakfast today

Here it is for lunch today

Luckily I just got a call from a Spanish friend saying he is bring round a long promised paella care package for our supper.  It will have been cooked on a BGE but I can forgive a paella bearing Spaniard pretty much anything.  More chilli tomorrow.  Thanks @Braai-Q aka my African Brother from Another Mother.  

Looks awesome. But my sister from another mister, where's the invite for the taste test? 😄 

I realised that I had quite a few different chillies going out of date in the larder. It prompted a grand reorganisation of the larder and the kitchen looked like a bomb hit it during the process - my wife walked into the kitchen, uttered something that ended with sh*t and disappeared as quickly as she arrived. So, I didn't want to waste the chili and within 2h of dinner, thought I'd make the chili, pressure cook and then leave the rest to slow cook. I was really surprised at the depth of flavour that 20m of pressure cooking provided. It didn't have that unctuous richness that you get from a chili cooked low and slow forever but the flavour was excellent and belied the time it took to cook.

Hey you can’t blame the bear he’s probably looking for one of Macs great breakfasts! Mac,Is it raining out or is your deck shiny like that all the time?

[MacKenzie]

Bruce, that is rain and we are having a miserable spring, cold, wet and windy. We have a break from the rain right now with some sunshine but the wind feels like it's out of the North.

Porridge Mac, that bear is looking for porridge.

Does that make MacKenzie - Goldilocks?? 🤣

[MacKenzie]

Someone mention porridge...

 

Just happened to make this in my Zojirushi. I set the timer to have it ready for breakfast. The first time I did it and opened up the rice cooker I thought, "Oh my goodness, I've ruined it!" 

Next move was to stir it up, and that is when the magic happened.

Added some date slices and called it fantastic. It has B&B cinnamon in it and a little maple syrup. It amazing, I thought I was going to be forcing this down but not so.

You know those little red candy hearts we all eat at Valentine's, well that is what my cereal tastes like. LOL

GoldyMac and the one near LOL!! I hope, rather I know that porridge is juuussst right!

You bearly missed him 😃

I blame you, Steve, for the standard of jokes that followed.  Although I have to admit that Mac's baby bear is very cute (and scary!).  

[MacKenzie]

That is not the end of the story it was back this morning. It is all together too tame for my liking.

It made the rounds before the camera switched to daylight.

Then it made the rounds all over again.

Then when I was out feeding the birds it came back. I went in the house got my camera and grabbed two shots. I had to yell and bang my hands on the railing to get it to leave, That is not a good sign.:(

He probably smells all your delicious cooking and that’s why he’s hanging around....

[Jon B.]

@Bruce Pearson

I think that is Bruce dressed up in a bear costume trying to get some of MacKenzie's delicious meals!!!!! 

(do you have a second bear suit for me Bruce??)

[MacKenzie]

Troble, I sure hope it doesn't discover my KKs that could be a real disaster.

Jon, I think I'd recognize you and Bruce even in bear suits, at least you'd better hope I do.
