Apple pie.....

Looks great! I made meatballs (with spent grain) in mushroom sauce, spaetzel, and green beans w/mushrooms. Husband was brewing, so wanted to make use of the grain.

Guess my thermometer is out of calibration. Pulled it at 120F and it was more like 160F. Not a dab of pink in the whole thing. Totally ruined that $35 steak.

schematix - I highly recommend a Thermapen. Not exactly cheap but extremely accurate. I have one (love that thing and use it all the time). I also just bought the Thermoworks 'Smoke' for smoking ribs and such on my Weber kettle grill, works great, very happy I bought it.

Some peeps use a heat insulated temp prob, (my dad did otherwise it was always burnt offerings, which is why I learned to grill at 14) and it means a thick steak or roast doesn't need babysitting. Testing the amount of "give" a protein has is what works for me. Others swear by 5 minutes per side on a screaming hot grill to achieve a perfect medium rare on a normal thickness of steak. @schematix glad it was still juicy and edible, though over cooked.

I have several thermopens and they are great for spot checks. I 100% trust those. However this was a large chunk of meat so I used my remote dual probe sensor. I don’t think the probe wires are adequately protected from heat. Even in indirect heat they fail rather quickly. It had been working well for a few years so didn’t expect it to fail and still report reasonable temps.

Frito Pie Casserole. Didn't get a picture, but I tried the recipe from "Kevin is Cooking". Four simple ingredients, about 30 minutes, less than $10, and ended up with a 9 by 13 casserole dish of comfort food that four of us consumed in one sitting. (OK, five ingredients: I added a sprinkling of cumin)

Tritip and Bay scallops with some thinly sliced homegrown leas

Korean style curry rice (Kare-raiseu)with a little kick to it. I used mostly medium hot Ottogi brand curry powder just for the simplicity but its REALLY high in sodium.

I bought two McDonalds sausage burritos for breakfast. Ate the first and half of the second. Dear lord those things were vile. I’m figuring I’ll be dead by mid afternoon.

Bibimbap. Rice, zucchini, cucumber, carrot, bean sprouts, beef and gochujang. Fried egg to top it all off.

 

[user 211287]

I want a stone dolsot for bibimbap but its kind of a hassle.

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

I briefly thought about picking up a few too but couldn't justify the extra work either, especially considering how often it'd really get used.

 

[paulthenurse]

I’m usually one to get a bee up my azz about something like that and I won’t rest well until I finally get it. But mehhhhh! I mean, the bibimbap I made was good but it hardly changed my life. I’ll be happy to have it as a restaurant meal and save the $70 cost of a couple of dolsots.

LSU is finally wet after I dropped a bunch-o-bucks to rebuild the trailer suspension. Scallops, urchins and creepy bugs will soon figure prominently on the menu.

Me want some.

Green curry with shrimp and vegetables.

I made the green curry from scratch. It was delicious!

 

[paulthenurse]

Recipe?

 

[bob1852]

Recipe?

A little of this, a little of that...

Didn't really follow a recipe....probably should've written down what I did.

 

[user 211287]

Green curry is pretty good with seafood and ok with chicken but im not a huge fan of it. Much rather have red or panang curry paste with the exception of shrimp/seafood. Both the green and yellow are better for that.

 

[bob1852]

I love Thai curries, but have never been much of a fan of Indian curries.

Maybe it's because of the thai emphasis on aromatics and coconut milk versus the India emphasis on more spices and tomatoes....

 

[Remmy]

Everything cast iron, *******.

 

[Remmy]

Smacked.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Damn. That looks really good Remmy

 

[Elkobrewer]

Ribs.

 

[flars]

Haven't posted here for a while. Play catch up.

Tuesday - Chicken salad sandwiches with raw fried potatoes.

Wednesday - Reubens with left over baked potatoes loaded with onion and sharp cheddar

Thursday - Tombstone sausage pizza after bar talk

Friday - Smoked St. Louis style ribs with green beans and muffin pan hash browns. Only three packs of green beans left in the freezer. Garden won't be producing for another month.

Hash browns ready for the oven. Need a lot of cheese so it doesn't just sort of disappear inside the potatoes.

These look perfect

Beef chimichurri tacos while camping at the lake.

Big pan of chicken parm. Finally got a oil/candy thermometer. Bumped my frying game to the next level. The secret to that nice crispy crust is a mix of corn starch and flour plus doing a double fry. Sadly the pics are in my SWMBO’s phone.

I doubt chicken gizzards and hearts get much love here. But I make a tasty gizzard/rice stew once in a while, and today seemed like the day for it.
