It really was hot. Compounded by next to no breeze yesterday. But in spite of the heat and no breeze, I enjoyed yesterday a lot.

I'm largely a culinary misfit that plays on my own ideas, and I've been far too busy to post much lately, but I have been in the kitchen nonetheless.

DrPepper/soy/garlic braised chicken thighs w/ water chestnuts and a side of spam musubi w/ furikake.

Turnip greens, sausage, tomatoes and diced new potatoes in chicken broth w/ black pepper and just a tiny pinch of sugar.

Drunken wonton soup with bok choy, egg, and pho soup seasoning packet. It was good, I might have been drunk.

Thinly sliced and marinated (in korean bbq sauce) pork tenderloin, double skewered and cooked to medium-well over hot coals...this is a crowd favorite and requires just 3 things and a bit of effort/time.

My 5 year old makes a mean "salad" as she calls it with tomatoes (that they grew), mozzarella, black olives and a splash of greek dressing. I love that she is always in the kitchen learning, knowledge not shared is lost.

This is one of a pair of prime angus ribeyes that I’ve dry aged for about a week. Not as long as I’d like, but it is what it is.

They got smoked to 115*, then seared at 600*.

Bbq’d beer-butt chicken and smoked a rack of ribs today. I’ll save you the pornographic image of the beer can up the chicken’s ass

Have a super-slow brisket going for later this week.
I’m on step 1: marinate for 24 hrs

Step 2: sous vide for 70 hours @ 125 degrees

Step 3: smoker for 4 hours

Seems foolproof...we’ll see.

Nothing better than a fish fry with a fresh harvest.

We up here suffering on the lake. Good luck everybody else.

So it’s been a while since I visited this thread. We all gonna have to up our game. JC, you are killing it.

On another note, We’ve only eaten out 2 times since March. We’ve become better cooks with all this crap. Not a bad thing.

Quite true. I sort of enjoyed brushing up on my cooking, smoking and grilling skills. But honestly, I do enjoy cooking.

I like eating & I like my cooking. The wife is very limited as to what she can cook. The more my back bothers me the less cooking I can do.

That's me! I like to eat, so learning how to cook just sort of came along with it. Plus I learned quite a bit about cooking from my grandmother and my stepmother.

While I enjoy cooking, I especially enjoy the prep phase of getting all the ingredients together and cut-up so they’re “just right”.

Just seeing all the ingredients organized and ready to go is cathartic.

Mrs Pronstar thinks that’s weird LOL

I credit watching Julia Childs & Jucques Pepin with about 75% of what I know. I loke trying to duplicate things without a recipe.

Been there. Early in my military flying days, I’d drive home listening to soft classical music after the debrief, then come in and execute food prep precisely in the kitchen, no matter the distraction.

It was quite relaxing.

Unlike almost everyone here it seems, neither my wife nor I are much in the way of cooks. I've gotten better at grilling and cooking over the years but it's never been a huge interest for me.

We eat out a fair amount, mainly to give us something to do.

We also tried out a meal kit company for a few meals just to give us some new recipes and to learn a few new techniques. I've enjoyed trying it out.

With the new smoker coming I've finally shown some interest in cooking so maybe I'm turning a corner.

To All,

Tonight's supper was my "locally famous" thick-sliced French Toast (made with my neighbor's GREAT homemade/leftover sourdough bread) with crisp bacon & coffee. Fresh strawberries for dessert.

Tomorrow night's supper is SOS with fried eggs on top. Cherry pie after.

NOT at all "fancy" but filling.
(NETX hillbillies do NOT do "fancy".)

yours, satx
