Simple roasted chicken with homegrown green beans and smashed potatoes. No money shot as I was starved and forgot!

We have a large Mexican population in Detroit and they sell the raw, corn tortillas from their stores which make beautiful chips. I can't make them any better so I buy theirs.I tried making homemade tortilla chips last night, complete failure. I mixed up some masa, pressed, and fried. Grease sponges.
Saw more info. They were a little moist to begin with? That would make sense.I think off-the-shelf tortillas would be too thick.
Chicken Ballotine
Chicken deboned. Breast pounded out. Dark meat puréed in food processor and then rehydrated black trumpets, chestnut boletes, marjoram, salt and pepper were folded in. Skin was laid out over plastic wrap. Breast meat was placed on top and seasoned. Dark meat was added down the middle and then rolled up, tied and placed into the fridge overnight. Bones were roasted and then used to make stock. Next Day - Sous vide cooked for 2 hours at 155f and then reverse seared.
Other stuff on the plate.
Boiled redskins until they slide off the knife, chilled, diced, then mixed with a little garlic and seasoned. Pushed into oven proof ramekins with a pat of butter on top and baked at 350.
Butternut squash diced and roasted in the oven. Tossed with butter, parsley, salt and pepper.
Mustard Sauce- shallots, white wine, whole grain mustard, cream. Sweat the minced shallots. Add white wine reduce. Add mustard and cream, reduce. Season with salt and pepper.

I ordered from Founder's again this time, because it ends up being cheaper than ordering from BLiS. Of course, I ordered a couple of other things as shown below. Last time I got their steak sauce too, and it's quite good as well.I love this hot sauce from Founders! It has a very unique flavor profile. My bottle is about kicked as well. My wife got it for me for Christmas last year.
Those look great. What's the main ingredient that makes them low-carb (if that's similar to Keto)?sandwiches and burgers

Thanks for the info. I really should have guessed that nuts make Keto possible, oh well.Egg whites, mayo, almond flour, oat fiber, baking powder, psyllium husk, salt, a little water. Easy to whip up and the little nooks and crannies are good at hanging onto condiments. I've even done grilled cheese with decent results!

I got up at 2am to smoke a pork butt that my wife requested.
Those turned out perfect this time!!! Just look wonderful! Now I want details on recipe and process, because I would just love to duplicate results as good as those! PleaseView attachment 756833View attachment 756834View attachment 756835
Sourdough English muffins. Better than the first batch due to smaller size and less cooking time.
Awesome Andrew! I don't dare show my wife till I'm ready to cook them because she loves them both!From the "Too much Fried Food dept":
Corn fritters. My wife came home from travels and asked for funnel cakes (which I dutifully made). But, with the oil hot...

I picked up a bone-in shoulder Sunday for $0.97/lb on sale at Kroger. Was just going to make sausage with it, but after seeing your wonderful picture I may just smoke it! Nicely done!View attachment 756869

Thank you, it was tasty. I'm having it for lunch again today. That's a good price, I'd smoke one and grab another for sausage making.I picked up a bone-in shoulder Sunday for $0.97/lb on sale at Kroger.

Thank you. A few years ago she asked me to smoke a turkey for her work Christmas party....the afternoon before the party. I did it.... I'm too nice.2 AM? Who's better than you. Hopefully your bride swooned while exclaiming, "My hero".
Spectacular looking piece of pork by the way.
We do that with mullet down on the FL/AL gulf coast. Tastes way better than it looks.Most definitely doesn't look pretty in the jar. But tastes wonderful. Canned walleye with liquid smoke. First time need to pack the fish tighter.View attachment 756777View attachment 756778View attachment 756778
