You're a mean one Mr. Grinch

Is it me or does it look like a couple of those florets are arguing with each other?

Pineapple habanero teriyaki chicken wings. It sounds hot but they are mild actually. The base of the sauce is Rothchild Farms Roasted Pineapple Habanero sauce. (Costco has it cheap) Just add some dark soy sauce, tiny bit of vinegar (i used red balsamic) ginger and sweet sake (mirin) or Chinese rice wine....Add some extra habs if you like hot cause its really mild to me.

1-1.5cups Rothchilds
2-3 Tbs soy sauce or Tamari
1 Tbs vinegar
2 Tbs rice wine
1/2 Tsp powder ginger....about 2 tsp of fresh is way better
Addition peppers (optional)
Couple tsp of Dark Sesame oil (optional but adds a nice flavor)
Heat it up for a few minutes to incorporate the flavors and to reduce if desired.

This is actually pretty low in sodium since the Rothchilds sauce has ZERO added salt. I used a reduced sodium Tamari because i like the stronger flavor of Tamari. It also has no wheat if you are sensitive to gluten.

Sorry no pics. They got hammered too fast.

Pear preserves with ginger.A partial to eat, one for the shelf, one for the state fair competition...if I can get registered by the 15th...operation with just my left arm, following rotator cuff surgery...and I'm right handed. Made these last week, just before the surgery.

Sorry to hear about the rotator cup surgery. I'm headed towards that as well Pears look awesome!

SWMBO and I picked up a pressure cooker over the weekend. This lamb shank stew was cooked in about 1.5 hours (a traditional slow cook would've taken a good 4-5 hours).

Oh you're gonna have so much fun with that! I have several, my favorite is the newest one I own, an Instant Pot. I won't cook hardboiled eggs any other way now, and it's fantastic for quick cooking beans. Love it also for chile verde or chile colorado, beef stew, lamb shanks, any number of yummy goodies.

I wandered on a Chile Verde recipe for a pressure cooker yesterday, then saw my copy of Temptd's Chile Colorado recipe, which when combined with my ADD led me to researching counter top pressure cookers! lol

I have a big stove top but have only used it for canning. I like the Breville but it's about twice as expensive as the InstaPot, but I'm one or the other after seeing how quickly they can accomplish things. Have not heard of using them for eggs. Now I'll have to look that up

Thai larb gai.

Looks good AZ. Try it with toasted crushed rice some time. Easy to make and totally transforms the dish. Just dry toast some (1cup+/-) of short grained rice on low heat in your wok before you start everything else. Cook until golden brown but don't allow to burn. Cool then crush into small bits (5-6 pieces per grain, don't pulverize into powder). A spoon over each wrap makes a huge difference. It keeps a good long time, I get 2/3 meals out of a single batch and never had it go bad. According to my Thai friends it's not Larb Gai without it.

As per my last, I've always thought prepping rice in this manner before putting it into a mash would add a really nice flavor to an American standard lager.

The top left bowl is the Khao Khua (toasted rice powder). I prefer a really fine crush.

Cashew chicken.

Cooked via the Chinese velveting technique (quick deep fry of the meat lightly coated in corn starch and egg white). Definitely worth the extra hassle.

Sorry I didn't see that I was looking at it on my cell. I like the rice pieces bigger. Chocolate vs vanilla.

This weekend I made a snickerdoodle cobbler, but I laid it out on the bottom, then poured apples and sauce on top of that, then I mixed up some crubles to go on top of that, and sprinkled some cinnamon sugar on top of that.

Oh, and some Fireball Whiskey in the sauce.
