[Hello]

In the streets of Prague for Restaurant Day. We sold loads, people loved our beer and food but then it rained and killed it for us

Your chalkboard logo looks very much like the logo for a brewery we have here.

Mmm...morels! Someone mentioned morels. I wish we had fresh morels! Visited Seattle once and got some at Pike's Market. They were awesome.

 

[mattmmille]

And for those of us who don't like mayo...

Western North Carolina Slaw:
Whisk together 1/3 cup ketchup or BBQ sauce of choice, 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 Tbsp. sugar, 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, and 1/4 tsp. hot sauce in a bowl. Add 1/2 head cabbage (about 1 lb.), grated, and 1/4 large sweet onion, grated; toss to coat. Let stand 1 hour before serving, tossing occasionally.

Westerners...Blech! 😆

I havent found any this year and I think I missed the window. Ive never seen them at the market though which would be awesome, just find them and pick them.

I have some. I also work at a restaurant with a Michelin star though. I know I'm sooooo cool

 

[Hello]

Not the weekend but took some leftover pork that I chopped up and made pizza. Base is one of my favorite BBQ sauces from Lucile's in So. Cal. (may be elsewhere but I have the sauce shipped), I buttered the crust and spread cayenne pepper all over it, added monterey and mozzarella cheese, pork, then more cheese and sliced onions. Next time I'll sauté the onions a bit first and add red pepper.

Wife made mushroom ravioli in Alfredo sauce for dinner.

I didn't eat all day before that, so I'm still hungry.

Time to cook "dessert"!

How do you like your Anova? I debated over the Anova and Sansaire. Both got good reviews and decided with the Sansaire. It has performed well so far.

This past weekend I made German Rinderrouladen for the first time and simmered the meat in a mixture of beef broth and Dortmunder. It came very good. I plan on making it again for my homebrew clubs cooking with beer night next month.

Forgot the pics of yesterday's pork loin... So I'll make up for it by adding tonight's sausage...

I adore Garam Masala - but have never heard of Tandoori Masala - what would you say the differences are in the two spice mixtures?

Even Garam Masalas vary - I have one that is more cinnamon-y/clove-y and one that is more cumin-y - I like the former one better.

Your meal looks just excellent! :rockin:

The Garam I get here is dark & heavy on the cinnamon & clove; this Tandoori Masala was much lighter, really much more like a curry than anything else. It was quite aromatic & smelled strongly of cumin, but in the actual taste the cumin was rather light.

I'd never heard of Tandoori Masala either, till I saw it in the store. They have a bulk section for herbs, spices & teas so you can buy as little or as much as you like; handy for trying out new spices. I've seen recipes for Tandoori chicken, but I've never tried it; I'm guessing this Tandoori Masala is a key ingredient for that.

What are "loads?"



.

 

[DrunkleJon]

What are "loads?"

I think by loads he means that they sold quite a few until the rain hit.

Loads are actually a very specific unit of measurement. It is a volume of food equal to the size of a bull's scrotum.

 

[badlee]

I thought a "load" was a unit equal in size to a shed: shed loads

Size of a bull's scrotum? What the hell?


That's pretty funny.

 

[DrunkleJon]

Doesnt the unit of load measure differ with the adjective that is used in conjunction with it. Such as butt loads, crap loads, etc? One would think that Bull loads would not work in all situations.

 

[Homercidal]

I have no comment.



You're welcome.

 

[hunter_le five]

Are we talking metric butt-loads (mBL), or imperial (iBL)? Or US standard (uBL)?

Yes, it matters.

Late last week I smoked a Corned Beef Brisket to make some pastrami. Last night I was craving some bacon and we didn't have any, so I sliced that brisket kind of thin and fried it in a pan.

BAM!

Beef Bacon with steamed Asparagus!

It wasn't bad for fake bacon. I've tasted worse actual bacon, to be honest.

Pastrami...bacon? That sounds absolutely heavenly. Combining two awesome food products to make something new. Kudos fine sir.

I can't take credit. I caught a bit of text on a website while looking into the difference between Pastrami and smoked corned beef brisket that mentioned frying it like bacon.

When I saw the fat marbling I knew I had to try it.

I don't want to be "that guy" but...

Curry refers to a dish, not any spice or blend. And curry powder isn't even Indian.

In my experience "Tandoori Masala" has just been either Garam Masala or Madras with anatto added for that bright red color.

Oh you're "that guy"…with ease.

Curry has a number of definitions.

Well, maybe he do

No disrespect meant, just an opportunity for FUNNY.

Sounds like it was slightly awesome despite the rain.

I'm not well versed in the culinary ways of India, Pakistan, etc...
So I can only go by what the label on the product container says, I understand what you're saying though, the wiki basically said the name "Tandoori Masala" meant "clay oven spice mixture," (I'm paraphrasing) and the ingredients & amounts varied from region to region. We have to call it something, I guess calling the various & similar spice blends from that region collectively "curry," or "Tandoori," or"Garam" was easier for the international spice traders. It might not be as accurate as it could be, but it at least gives us westerners a common frame of reference.

Grilled cheeseburgers for visiting family last night and it was a big hit. Got a pork butt in the smoker for tonight's dinner. I'm getting to play with ALL my Weber toys this weekend.
