Used more of my KK cooked mesquite smoked chicken breast to make a garden salad tonight. Bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, avocados, honeycrisp apples and Parmesan cheese. With raspberry vinaigrette dressing 

paid my penance for last weekends taco gluttony with 3 chicken salads this week

I am definitely going to have to up my table game to share my cooks around here.  Normally it's a paper plate, and maybe some silverware.

Gotta up your game to go with the KK! 😀

we do paper plates exclusively when we entertain...nothing wrong with paper plates IMO

You're asking the wrong person here about tableware - 2 full sets of china (one set for 8, one set for 4), 3 sets of everyday (ya'll see the "real everyday" ones with the green leaf in my pics) - one set is just for the patio (blue tile pattern to match the old grill). Five sets of flatware to match. Plus, all the Pink Flamingo plates and gear for that annual dinner party. Do I have a problem - maybe? :smt017

83 degree weather calls for Mediterranean food. Chicken schwarma with Mediterranean salad and homemade Tadziki 

first time I attempted this I cooked the chicken at 350 and I was only able to get bone in chicken thighs, so I did a mixture of bone in thighs and breasts which wasn’t ideal 

 

today I did boneless skinless chicken thighs and I also cooked it at 475-500 like I did my adobada/al pastor and I shaved the outside every 15-20 minutes avd jet the carvings fall into an aluminum tray below to crisp up. 
 

results are in and the high heat/foil tray crisping method was far, far superior to my initial attempt at this dish. Will be utilizing this method going forward

Nice shawarma cook!

I did chicken thighs last night, too. Lemon Pepper on the main @ 375F, with cherry wood. Grilled asparagus.

Plated with Basil rice (plucked a couple of leaves off my new plants). Sauce for the chicken was capers, lemon zest/juice, garlic and EVOO. It was a nice evening, so dinner was outside in the gazebo.

It is rhubarb season so thought I'd give a try at rhubarb galette. I need to practice a little but the flavour was great. The vanilla ice cream I had made it earlier this week so that was a nice addition to dessert.

Awww yes!  KK food envy.  Today I think I'd like to go with Troble's chicken schwarma and Mac's rhubarb gallete.  Yummy!

Instead I will have to settle for leftovers from last night's cook.  This baked ham was originally smoked in the KK many months ago and then frozen.  Soaked, then simmered and then glazed with sugar, rum, English mustard and baked in the KK.   Turned out nice with boiled potatoes and a very old fashioned but tasty parsley sauce (no pix, in my tummy!).

Plated with homemade pesto pasta, crusty bread, nice salad - on the deck again. Wine is a Chardonnay & Viognier blend.
