Interesting. That is an ODD shaped burger, but the stuffing looks awesome!
Here is the end result. Absolutely mind blowing taste. Everyone should have this burger stuffer, $5 at menards.
The latest was a continuation of the charcuterie thing.
I did a 5 pound batch of Tuscan salami, my first attempt at fermented salami. Also have two capicola's aging.
The smell is fantastic.

Flank steak cooked on charcoal grill with cherry wood chips sprinkled over the coals. Perfectly cooked(all praise me) and so delicious. I cooked down onions and mushrooms with salt and pepper, fresh tyme, a single clove of garlic and a little balsamic vinegar to go with the steak. Served it with baked potatoe with sour cream and chives washed it down with my black ipa. God loves me afterall.

Man o man, nice. I'd be making carne asada with some of that meat.
At work today I dried a London broil with paper towels, rubbed it with Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning, then melted some cocoanut oil and rubbed that into it. I stuck it in a toaster oven on the 'broil' setting at max temp with an aluminum foil-wrapped drip pan under it, cooked it for fifteen or twenty minutes, then flipped it for another ten or fifteen.
I wasn't expecting much, given that it was a thick piece of meat and a small toaster oven. So I was blown away when it came out perfectly done: seared and brown on the outside, rare in the middle, and as tender and juicy as any London broil I've ever cooked. I sliced it across the grain at a 45 degree angle, sprinkled a tad more seasoning on the slices, and pigged out. Fellow workers who came into the control room and smelled what I was cooking and eating hated me...
I actually only cooked half; the other half is wrapped and stashed in the fridge at work. Maybe I'll run get it tomorrow and do an encore on my own time; I have a similar toaster oven here in my motor home. Pic's this time, assuming I can get lightning to strike twice.
Saturday I grilled up a big family pack of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Marintated about 12 hrs in a white grape juice/teriyaki/soy sauce marinade. Grilled over charcoal on the Weber kettle & brushed with olive oil. These are for my lunch at work this week, so I put them in individual ziploc bags with some rice & sauteed veggies. Lunch is made for the entire work week.
I also made a stir-fry for supper Saturday. I make stir-frys a lot & most of the time they don't change enough to rate being posted over & over here, but this one does. I made a spicy curry/coconut/pineapple shrimp with plenty of fresh ginger & garlic, garlic chili paste, hot madras curry, an 8.5 oz can of pineapple chunks, 2/3 can of coconut milk and the juice of 1 lime.
Served this with stir-fried veggies (celery, carrots, onions & brussels sprouts), with a couple cloves of garlic, freshly chopped cilantro & a good, big squirt of rooster sauce.
I've been tring to go low carb & have been saving my carbs for beer, but this time I said "screw it" & made rice to go with my stir-frys. Thai jasmine rice, with 3 bay leaves & a bit of sesame oil to coat the bottom of the pan and a couple dashes of soy sauce.
This was very tasty, but was so spicy it made me sweat & made my nose run, I downed more than a few bottles of Moose Drool whilst cooking & eating. All in all, a very productive day for me. I got all my errands run, all my chores done, cooked lunch for the entire work week & made a tasty supper. I didn't think to shoot any pics, I'll have to remember to shoot & post some next time.
Regards, GF.
Love stir frying veggies in a wok. So much better than any other method of cooking (except maybe grilling in some cases).
That whole thing sounds incredible.
I love my wok, I stir-fry with it, deep fry, saute, braise, steam, I've even made soup in it. It's nothing fancy, just a plain old spun steel wok, but I use it almost every day. Regards, GF.
Chicken and chickpea curry, garlic naan and green beans on the side.
You make the naan, or is it store bought?
Btw.... Yum.
Wrong thread Nuts, you ever get anywhere with the sourdough?

I've got tons of stuff to do, but i"m seriously considering taking the girls (or girl, if the older one has to work) out looking for fiddleheads and Morals tonight.
All of these posts make me long to cook. We are in the middle of moving, buying, and selling. I can't justify time cooking. The problem is cooking is my therapy and I can't do it! My stress level is off the charts and I need some culinary release.

It looks like a caja china
Had to look that up. Dang, looks like one more thing I'll have to either buy or build.... a food junkie's work is never done.
They're pretty awesome, you get a whole roast pig in ~3 hours
