I've never tried it that way, only panfried in plenty of bacon grease til perfectly done, with some caramelized onions and some bacon. That looks good, I'd certainly give it a whirl!
What did I cook this weekend.....

Not a lot of difference; I cooked up my bacon first, and removed it from the pan. Then I tossed in the onions until they were well cooked. I cut up the bacon and added it back. Then I put a couple tablespoons of flour in a jar with about a cup of water, shook it up thoroughly, and added as stirring to make a good gravy. My mom taught me to do it this way. I’ve had it the other way before, but I do prefer this way.
I really like that idea about shaking it in a Ball jar. That's how I make my pancake batter, I'm ashamed of not having thought of that for flour slurries.
Thanks for that!
Instant Pho with add ins of pork, baby bok Choy, shiitake, carrots and green onion.
I'm not sure why but we're loading up on New Mexico style favorites. I used half of a tri tip for steak fajitas. My wife used the other half for pot roast but screwed up bigly. She salvaged the meat and I made a decent chili con carne with a variety of dried peppers I keep on hand. Barkers,. anchos, guajillos and basic chile powders. Tonight was gonna be tacos my style but neither of us was hungry. But it is ready for tomorrow's dinner.
Spatchcocked bird. Happy Thanksgiving!
Cheers!
Cheers!
Started off with these and eggs for brunch.
Oven roasted because if was too. Old and rainy to use the grill.
Roasted veggies, baked yam, rutabaga, creamed boiling onions, mash and dressing with gravy, last but not least the juicy turkey. I hope yours was enjoyable.

Rotisserie Turkey
Dim Sum dumplings
Cooking up some sort of Cajun-ish inspired pork roast stew atm.
Side note- I won the Inkbird bbq pro on this forum several years ago. This thing rocks. Not overly complicated and does what it’s supposed to. If this thing got lost, broken or stolen, I wouldn’t hesitate to get another. There are fancier wireless models out there but this works for me.
Everyone's stuff looks amazing!
We shared with friends, they brought a small low-sugar ham, white wine, and a dozen deviled eggs (for 4 of us!); we made a 12 pound oven-roasted turkey, mashed cauliflower (we all eat on the Keto side of things), keto gravy, dressing made with real sourdough bread, butternut squash/turnip gratin, cranberry jalapeño sauce, and by request of KOTC we had strawberry shortcakes for dessert.
Yesterday I cooked up the turkey carcass and then canned it, got 10 pints plus for the freezer, the last quart. I have two digital electric canners and they do 5 pints each at a time, which left that last quart; too much trouble to run the canner again for just 2 more pints.
And a good time was had by all!

A couple nights ago. Cavatelli with evoo/butter, shrimp, fresh broccoli and mushrooms, lots of garlic, and a sprinkle of pecorino romano.
Lamb chops, last Tuesday.
Beef and bean chili with chips, cheese and sour cream.
I love the lamb chops. Perfect color.
We made a turkey pot pie with buttermilk biscuit topping. Leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and homemade turkey stock from the bones.
Fish tacos, New Mexico style. One good Hatch chile completely changes a csbbage/corn taco topping.
Big soup plate of turkey noodle soup with a slice of homemade sourdough marble rye. Perfect quick dinner on a cold brew day yesterday.
Tonight a grass fed NY strip home fries and broccoli.
Merry, would you share your recipe for the bread? I'd LOVE to make that!
Yes I can, I’ll get the ingredients and amounts posted soon, you’ll be mixing 2 small batches of dough. I wish it was like marble cake, LOL
Thanks so much! Looking forward to trying it.
Marble rye sourdough recipe
Light Rye dough-
30g active starter
210g water
240g white bread flour
60g light rye flour
1 tsp caraway seed
1Tbs soft butter
4g salt
Dark rye dough-
30g active starter
110g water, 90g coffee, 1Tbs molasses
240g white bread flour
60g dark (or light) rye flour
1 tsp caraway seed
1Tbs soft butter
4g salt
For each dough mix all the ingredients into a shaggy rough dough then cover each bowl and let it rest at room temp for an hour or so. Preform the first set of stretch and folds until the dough forms a soft ball. Do 3 more sets about 30 minutes apart. Keeping covered during rests.
Cover and bulk ferment at room temperature for around 8 hours or until it’s done. (Sourdough doesn’t always follow our time frames, right?)
I had spread the two doughs out one on top of the other and shaped. Marbling was so, so. The next time I do this I will spread it out, one on top of the other and do a couple coil folds and then shape. Refrigerate for 12- 24 hours then bake.
I did an open bake on a pizza stone preheated @ 375F humidified oven after an egg and water wash. It should likely take 40 mins, but check the internal temp to reach 205-209F and have a clean probe.
Typical deli rye score for no “ear”.

My first shot at Yorkshire pudding. Looks pretty good but I should have let the tin get hotter and used a little less fat, maybe given it a couple more minutes.
Merry, thank you so much! I need to get a starter going. probably won't be til after the holidays but I will for sure be giving that a try!
Our son and grandkids are in town for a few days, and he requested bucatini with my homemade sauce. The sauce was cooked with my favorite mild Italian sausage that was shipped on ice from NY. Served with a salad and a glass of HB nut brown ale.
Boeuf bourguignon, but it's moose.
And Dire Straits on vinyl...

Looks great. Did you shoot the moose?
Blackened Redfish, fresh from the delta. And broccoli from the garden. Potatoes from Publix...
Not this one, I
Not this one, didn't have time for hunting this fall. I bought this from an aquintance who needed to make some freezer-space for this years bounty. 10kg for an equivalent of methinks 10bucks/kilo.
And yellowfoot(?) instead of champignon.
Errr Santa put a hot poker in it. Damn delicious and dangerous
I guess that counts as cooking.
Candied orange peel for panettone. Dinner was eye-round roast.

I smoked up a batch of Atomic Buffalo Turds...
Making christmas ribs. Since it has been around -25C the last few days I didn't feel compelled to bring out the smoker...
So low and slow in the oven it is, marinated in a Julmust based sweet honey marinade with some christmas spices and just a dash of Texas gold rub before cooking.

Are you having them with Christmas dinner?
Good idea! I think I will.
