Pecan wood smoked turkeys just done this morning after ~16h in the smoker.

Got a chicken and a pork shoulder on there now for later tonight.

Wow that is pretty amazing looking. does the smoke flavor penetrate the meat even through the skin?

I have a couple more chicken breasts so I'll be making it again later this week. Advice duly noted, thanks!

Whenever you have a plate of brown food consider upping your green/other color items. If just for a pic's sake, some parsley usually helps. Also some paprika in your breading is the 70s-80s way of adding a bit of rouge to your roast, and it still works.

Are you people making your adobo from scratch or buying it? I can't find it without chipotle peppers inside it, and can't find chipotle peppers by their lonesome. I guess I should hit up a proper market and not a grocery store.

If you're ever looking for chipotles in the future, look for them canned. They're just smoked jalapeņos, so you won't find them fresh. Sorry if you already knew this - I didn't until I was shopping for them one day myself.

Haha - boiled them in salty water until al dente, drained and tossed them gently in some store bought pesto. Half the bag of pasta and half the tub of pesto made about 4 servings.

I used the buitoni pesto from the refrigerated section of the pasta aisle.

On the plate a salad with cilantro, apple, tomato, dressing, etcetera and avocado with oil and spices,
in the tacos there is a spicey black bean stew on the bottom and pork belly on top, with some turkish yoghurt and hot chili sauce on top of that.

To be honest the brown sauce is just Chipotle flavored A-1 because I was lazy and wanted to eat my steak.

I mixed in some of the adobo sauce (what canned chipotles come in) into the olive oil, and liberally applied Gibson's (of Chicago steakhouse fame) steak seasoning. Added butter to the steak while it rested before adding some A-1 because gently caress, it's not like I offended the chef. Rolls are for sopping up the remainders of course.

Hmmm, well, looks good anyway. Think ill look in my sauces cookbook for a beef pepper sauce.

Throw some roquefort on there next time. nothing contrasts more pleasantly. Great with bread as well!

Tonight I made a fancy obscure American dish. A little something called Green Bean Casserole.



You ever browse the grocery store, see an ingredient, and realize you had to make something with it immediately? Well the green bean harvests have started coming in so I knew I needed to make this right away.

No, I didn't use a can of Cream of Mushroom Soup or fake onions

I would like to know your recipe for this. I tried making GBC from real ingredients one Thanksgiving and it came out even shittier than the canned soup version.

From that point I believed the dish was probably invented by Campbell's to sell their otherwise-inedible cream of mushroom soup, but your pics indicate it is possible to do it for real

Tastes good, that's all that matters to me.

It looks fine. Well executed. It was funny to me, googling it and finding pictures that look exactly like it - something dystopian about it.

I'm imagining sitting at a gray plastic table where everyone is wearing the same clothes and has the same haircut and the exact same plate of food, right down to the number of beans. I ask what the sauce is for and the others look at each other like the "he doesn't know what the three shells are for?" scene in demolition man.

Good job expanding your repertoire and don't get discouraged by us weirdos.
