I went to Pizza Camp.
Those look really good. How did you get your crusts so puffy? I can never get any good bubbles in my pizza crusts. What's your secret?

Holy America's Test Kitchen, Batman! That's a lot of use. I'd probably try doing my coffee in one.I've been putting an air fryer that I bought last week to the test. So far I've used it for chicken parts, salmon, tuna steak, and lamb. I've also done potatoes, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and broccoli. Once I dial in times and temps this thing is going to be a kitchen rockstar. Yesterday's dinner was a 2.5 lb chunk of lamb, a bit overcooked for us, but like I said, I need to dial in the time and temps.

I almost bought one of those at Kroger two nights ago.comal (cast iron griddle)
That's often the case.Picture doesn't do it justice.
My first attempt at gnocchi.
We growing hanging bougainvillea at the nursery. Never new they were edible! Pretty coolFor you folks living in areas where you can grow bougainvillea, their petals (bracts) make a colorful addition to a spinach salad (also had goat cheese, almonds, and craisins). I've got a potted bush in front of the house.
Top with a bit of poppyseed dressing if you like, but not necessary with the other goodies in there. I grilled filets and salmon last night and this was one of the sides.

Bravo! As far as I'm concerned, you could have served that with mudpies on the side; you still would have won the internet! I've never smoked a duck. That will be rectified. (See post 19492)I smoked a duck that I injected with rum butter marinade, and rubbed down with Chipotle coffee dry rub. Delicious!
Had stir fried veggies and rice on the side.

I smoked a duck...
Lol. Thanks man! Yeah, it's kind of a learning curve, the first time I did it was too tough. I found a really good website, and basically learned that it takes a couple more steps for duck. Go for it!!Bravo! As far as I'm concerned, you could have served that with mudpies on the side; you still would have won the internet! I've never smoked a duck. That will be rectified.

When you smoke a duck, what happens to all the duck fat it gives up?
You have to put half inch to 1 inch deep crossed cuts across the breast and put a pan below it to capture the fat. I usually get some of the aluminum foil pans from the dollar store. Also, you want to put some water in there too so it retains humidity. It needs to be slsmoked between 300 and 325 so the duck fat renders. I use a toothpick to prick the skin in several places too.When you smoke a duck, what happens to all the duck fat it gives up?

Holy Cow, that is a Guy Fieri hunch-worthy mouthful!I made smoked jalapeño popper stuffed burgers, that I then reverse seared (stuffed with Cream Cheese, sharp cheddar, and Diced jalapeños). Came out really solid. Next time I’ll make them a little smaller View attachment 761701
It really was. It was good but honestly a bit too much. I’ll refine it a bit and make them smaller.Holy Cow, that is a Guy Fieri hunch-worthy mouthful!
Love walleye. Much easier to catch in my area when I was a kid.Last May walleye and Lipton rice with french fries (well fries not shown). Been a tough winter for fishing but it all worked out only a few packages of last year's catch left.
Was easy early ice then lots of snow made it tough. Hoping to find a late ice bite. I could go for perch but honestly that is kinda boring.Love walleye. Much easier to catch in my area when I was a kid.

That’s how Herring was in the lower Esopus creek in April when they and the stripper would run as a kid. Not anymore though, numbers are way downGrowing up, you could walk across the Maumee river on the walleye.
That chicken looks SO good!View attachment 762010
Fried chicken, mash and pea salad.
Look good to me. I made them because my wife loves them and I was inspired by:My first attempt at gnocchi.
