Cucumbers are now the only thing I'm eating with wings

We ate most all of one of these, then I took the other and the leftover bits and cut them up into big pieces. Made chili with the leftover meat, 3/4 pound of hot sausage meat, one large white onion, two poblano peppers fire roasted on the stovetop, a jalapeño, a can of chopped tomatoes, a can of tomato paste, a beer, a half dozen garlic cloves, chili powder and a half cup of tequila.

It would make a vegan change his life.
 
Blue cheese! Guilty pleasure is using the wing as a vessel for delivery of blue cheese to my mouth. I did about two dozen last night BBQ were the best but I just picked up this todayView attachment 559627
Of course bleu (blue) cheese. I never understood those who served wings with ranch dressing. My wing sauce of choice was from Anchor Bar, which we used to be able to get at Wegmans. Unfortunately no Anchor Bar hot sauce or Wegmans in California.

I don't know if I actually trust people who use ranch.

I feel bad for you. I hear they boil wings in water out there. I could always mail some sauce on out if you ever want my friend!! [emoji482]
 
Thanks for the offer, but we're making a trip back home (Binghamton area), this summer and we'll be stocking up on a few things, hot sauce for one.

There are a few places to get good wings out here, but I had to look hard for them. On the bright side Firestone Walker Brewery is just down the road. So there's that. :mug:
 
Made pulled pork sandwiches last night. Third meal from the 9 pound Boston butt. Had in laws over for the first meal. Remainder will be vacuumed sealed with a pack of the remaining pan broth. Used a garlic and rosemary paste over the butt for the slow roasting.

Need to over fill the sandwiches. Seems like if you don't once the lid is put back on the filling diminishes.

The peppers go into the pan last. Just to soften a little so there is still crunch in every bite.

Roast chicken for lunch - had steamed carrots, spring greens , roast tatties and onion gravy with it. Made the stuffing with half wholemeal bread - won't be doing that again, doesn't really work

Thanks. I used to demolish wings with a side of celery sticks, but in recent years, I've discovered that celery doesn't like me as much as I like it, so I had to make a change.

Been using sliced cucumber as a wing side for quite a while now, and it seems to provide the right bit of cooling for the palate vs. the spiciness of wing sauce.

I think it’s brilliant! Gonna give it a try. Not a huge fan of raw celery anyway!

Everything looks great, but something about those potatoes just flings a craving on me!! Lol
 
Visited my favorite butcher shop to pick up a couple of small things.. Most of the meat is in the deep freezer frozen but when they plop a hunk of roast right off the cow to your right in front of you, I couldn't say no.

Sous vide it at 129 with pepper, rosemary and garlic injected into it. Butter and oil too for 25 hours.

Then it was Beast pan vs. Beast burner for the first time. Worked amazingly well.

Then mashed potatoes with roasted broccoli, garlic, red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese.

The only thing not included was an Allagash Hoppy Table Beer to keep it light.

This is the second hunk of beef I've ever sous vide. The first I did was at 123 degrees. I think I would have done it a little more rare.

Problem with cooking tough cuts of beef sous vide is you shouldn’t go less than 131F if going more than 4 hours. To me 131 is “well done”.
