Sous vide pork belly. I should have left it under the broiler a bit longer. I was worried it would dry out if I left it too long. Not a chance, wonderfully succulent. Sliced it up and dipped in a Carolina Gold style sauce. Outstanding.
What did I cook this weekend.....

Lidl had turkeys for .49 lb and I didn’t want to take hops out of the freezer to make room, so I roasted it today. We had a simple dinner and now I can just reheat the meat and make the sides for Thanksgiving.

Just started a pot of Meat Church Chili using HomeBrew Golden Ale and smoked brisket.

I "cooked" a turkey on white bread sandwich today to take on a mineral collecting trip today. But tomorrow I will smoke some pork ribs and make a pot of pinto beans.
I'm about to turn 12 pounds of fresh oranges that we were gifted into marmalade.
Yesterday I smoked these ribs with my standard dry rub. Fatty enough to stay very juicy the ribs were the perfect texture. I also cooked a pot of pinto beans. Tonight my wife made tacos with Big Jim peppers, cheese and tomatoes. I laughed because she was disappointed that she thawed Artesia Big Jims instead of the Hatch extra hot. These Artesian chiles were plenty hot she had to break out the sour cream. Tomorrow we'll finish the ribs in a pot of Big Jims and posole. We will have gotten 3 full meals from $13 rack of ribs.
Well paired with a glass of my homebrewed Cascade IPA
Not exactly a "What I cooked" post , but I've got a 15 pound turkey for Thursday and the wife wants me to spatchcock it. I do this for chicken all the time but I've never tried it with a turkey. Any hints form the experts here?
I would imagine it’s about the same but bigger bones of course. The legs stay on the bone so no need to try and pick out those hard tendons from the drumsticks.
Lasagna and sourdough focaccia with a salad for thanksgiving eve dinner. Have a good one tomorrow.

I made a big pan of lasagna too, (no pics though). Our daughter and family were here Sat-Mon, and like past years the lasagna was requested, and we made a serious dent in the large pan of it. All that's left is one nice sized piece for another day, and a pita chest cold for me. I love our grand-kids dearly, but I swear they are living, breathing germ factories.
Sourdough with cranberries, blueberries, cherries and goat cheese.
Above loaf 2 days old for French toast. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
I’ll spare you the dinner plate pick, and share the hand whipped cream and pie shots.
Last serving of my Thanksgiving Lasagna.

My brother made the turkey, my mom did the ham. My wife made dessert, a cranberry Bundt, and I made a side - roasted brussel sprouts with bacon, blue cheese, and candied pecans.
I just had an awesome meal. Slow roasted duck legs roasting in extra duck fat, air frier sweet potatoes, and peas sautéed with pancetta and shallots. Of course, since I don't have a picture, none of this actually happened 
Leftover lasagna I had a dollop of ricotta on top of mine and for dessert sliced banana with a quenelle of ricotta mascarpone mousse and a dash of nutmeg.
Today‘s lunch before I prepare turkey noodle soup.
Are you buying his spices? His recipes look great but all are based on his spice blends so I have only tried a couple and just winged the spice blends needed.
Well that looks awesome as usual!!View attachment 792550

Wow, I have had to catch up with a lot! Awesome food! We are just back from a 14 day Thanksgiving trip with family with two other RVs. It was our first long trip. Met family at Gulfport MS, then we headed up to Smokey Mountain national park staying in Sevierville and the east of Gatlinburg. Just beautiful! The only thing I cooked was steaks for the group one night on a tiny weber 
Weird not to cook Thanksgiving again!

Thank you Travis, I trust life has been good with you and yours.
It has been great, thank you.
First long trip with three goldendoodles! 13 days, 7 states, 8 campgrounds, noisy truck stops, and the dogs did great, so all is good with our plans to travel with the dogs. I learned a ton about all aspects of RV travel, and will add in some cooking next trip. I have mulligatawny and tomato basil soups and froze them before we left and we took those with us.
One highlight of the trip, somewhat relevant to this thread, is we stopped at the Conecuh plant and outlet store in Owassa Alabama, and I brought home this!! By far my favorite sausage for redbeans, gumbeaux, breakfast, etc.!
I especially like the 4 lb pack of Sausage Dogs! Never seen those before. And he Christmas Hot is new to me as well. We used to have to buy this in Mississippi and bring it home, but they have now expanded into Texas some now, mostly at Brookshires.
Beef ribs on the BGE XL this past Sunday dinner. Been doing ribs (mostly pork) for 20+ years now, and these are by far my best to date for both flavor and texture.

Every year I do the Alton Brown turkey, with a 2 day brine and a 6 hour smoke with a drip pan under the turkey. Usually I just toss those drippings but this year I chilled it, skimmed the fat off the top, then used it to make rice. I am never dumping those drippings again!!!
The butt roast is about to come off the smoker so I put the pumpkin chunks in the oven to roast. I marinated thyme, oregano, and basil from the garden in olive oil all day. Also, the pumpkin is my second to last from my garden I was very happy to come home after almost 4 months and find 5 or 6 ripe pumpkins in the garden.
Dinner is served
Oooo that's beautiful, Corky! Tasty too I'm sure!
I took things easy last night leftover turkey soup for dinner, it was really cold and damp so it hit the spot.
Brunch today was an “omelette taco” some sweet plantain on the side. Something different and used up some leftovers.
Pork and black bean tacos with hot Hatch green chile. Pairs well with my Cascade IPA. Tomorrow, barbecue pork sandwiches with homemade potato chips.
Chili with beans and cornbread.
Did ribs on the smoker last night, with southern red potato salad and baked beans as sides. Sloppy plate but we were hungry!
Baked beans
Southern Red Potato Salad (honestly my favorite potato salad recipe!)

More catch up pictures since I have not been online much recently.
Mexican Chicken Chili clone recipe from Seinfeld from a couple of nights ago. Just an awesome reduction recipe similar to the Mulligatawny that I make frequently.
Sausage Balls, just because they are so easy and taste so good! Also from earlier in the week.
