looks amazing already. Can't wait to see the final results.

Oh! Bacon! Sorry. Had Beer on and in the mind!

Yeah. Wrapped it in bacon. Then cooked it slower than I should have. Still not done but close. I learned how it to cook it this time, at least if you want it done at a reasonable hour! Lol

And B is for brown bread, Boston baked beans, a bunch of bananas and a basket ball, a beef burger burnt till it's black oh boy, and bubble gum chewed with joy. Or something close to that! Lol

 

[Staestc]

Looks good to me. yum.

How long did it end up taking?

 

[Staestc]

I cooked it like I did the ribs, with the metal bit holding the coals over on one side. It was not getting enough radiant heat, so I finally removed the metal then it browned up nicely. All in all it was on the grill about 2.5 hours which would be death for a tenderloin, unless you wrap it in BACON!! It was moist and delicious. I'm cooking this one again for company next time! The herb roasted Yukon golds are always great.

Hmmm. Picture fell off that post somehow.

Went full student and did a cupboard cleaner. No picture since it looks like the bad kind of kanteen food tbh, but it actually tastes pretty darn good.

Cooked rice in coconut milk seasoned with broth cubes, added piri piri chilis, onion, Da Bomb hotsauce, canned chopped tomatos, pinto beans, bayleaves, pepper, applecider vinegar, and oven roastes butternut squash.

So basically a coconut, tomato, rice, bean, and butternut squash chili stew-ish thing. Shockingly rewarding taste.

Sounds pretty darn good!

Da Bomb is the stuff. I heaved due to that one time. Ground Zero will level your world.

I'd eat that!

Where'd you get fresh cilantro? It's been completely unavailable down here for months.

Where are you that you can't get cilantro? That's sad :-(

 

[ericbw]

Cod cakes, black bean salad, Brussels sprouts. Avocado, tartar sauce, Tabasco, and fresh cilantro on top. I really only showed up in time for the frying.

Florida. The only way to get it now is dried or grow it yourself.

There was some sort of sanitary issue in Mexico (involving toilet paper in the cilantro fields). I thought the shortage was everywhere.

That or some of us probably have e coli now.

Ohhhh, good thinking. With some lemon zest, coriander (cilantro), touch of mint maybe...I will do that soon, thanks!

Yeah, really good stuff. One of the two hottest sauces I have atm. I also have Blair´s Jersey Death (now know as Ultra Death). Compared to Da Bomb it is not as immediate in its heat, so you eat more and then as it starts to really kick in you already have had too much. Similar to Piri Piri, but worse.

Now I have a good hit upfront and then the piri piri comes in and sustains it nicely. Really tasty that.

Oh and I of course also have stuff like Ghost chili flakes.

Also have a tasteless clear hotsauce designed for drinks. Weird stuff to be done with that one.

I made beer cheese last night and added some clear(ish) hot sauce my daughter got me for my birthday. Made it perfect.

You need to move to Boston.


Which, let's face it, is a great idea on so many levels.

Indeed....chance for Trillium and Tree House? Man I´d kill to get some here in Europe.

And for cilantro...grow your own man. I have fresh rosemary, basil, cilantro, sage, thyme, and chives growing in pots on my windowsill. Totally worth it, especially the basil.

 

[Homercidal]

My Cilantro grew like crap. May be how far north I am, but it grew stunted.

On a more pleasant note, I made Hot Pepper Jelly last night. It seemed to have set up just fine this morning. Haven't cracked a jar yet.

You do have one or two decent beers there. Just sayin'

If it makes you feel better, we've had almost no luck with cilantro, despite trying to grow it every year for the last 4 years.

...but we might just be sh!t gardeners

...but we might just be sh!t gardeners

Sh!t-gardening is what caused the shortage in the first place.

Thanks a lot, Cheesy.

 

[Homercidal]

My skill at growing ranks right up there with my skill in fishing!

Well I am 55 degrees north and mine works...so you must be at least in mid canada or something.

I have more issues with my parsley right now. Not a great gardner myself. Rosemary seems foolproof though.

Definetly so, more than a few world class beers. However, that top tier of IPA just has not been cracked. We have some people, like Amager and Omnipollo, who can compete with most great US IPAs, but the east coast greats are unreached.

Still, being able to order a Westy 12 for 10 bucks online is great, and stuff like Yellow Belly Sundae and many others are pretty darn awesome too.

Plus 4 Mikkeller places plus the Mikkeller / Three Floyds brewpub being around half an hour away is...well, dangerous for the wallet.

I just got finished making some beef & barley soup. I forgot to take pics of the process (I never can remember, one of the reasons I would make a terrible teacher at anything) but here's the final product:

Recipe:
1-1/4 pound "stew beef" (I use chuck roasts), diced fine
1/2 C chopped onion
1 C diced carrots
6 oz mushrooms, diced
butter or oil
1 C dried barley
1 medium-sized bay leaf
2 Qts beef stock
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

In a soup-pot or Dutch oven, saute onions, mushrooms, & carrots in oil until sweated & starting to take on colour. Remove from pan. Add beef, brown, and then add all ingredients to the pot. Simmer until beef is tender and/or barley is soft. (Chuck usually takes an hour or so, plenty of time for the barley to cook.)

I had no mushrooms for this batch, and it is definitely missing the special earthiness that 'shrooms give.
