Here are some pics of my home smoker in action. Marinated pork ribs slow smoked over Hickory wood at 225F, basted, removed and wrapped in aluminum foil and cooked 2 more hours, tender, fall off the bone good. I served with homemade coleslaw, grilled corn, cornbread, plenty of homemade bbq sauce in hot and mild, Pecan pie and ice cream for desert. This is how we Southern Boys do it!

Didn't see a dedicated one so created one :)   Been having a curry craving for a while so managed it a couple days ago.   -500gr Dried beans soaked 4 hours -PC cooked for 20min (till soft) -Spice mix- 60gr Coconut organic                   1 tbsp Cumin                   2 tbsp Turmeric                   1 tbsp seasoning mix                   1 tbsp org Coriander powder                   1 tbsp Whole cardamon                   1 cup Chines Cayenne (in this case)                   1/2 tsp salt (to taste)   -Blitz mix and then add to chickpeas in pot, rise cooker in this case. Boil for 20min, add 1/2cup raisins (optional) and simmer another 30 min. The raisins adds a nice body of slight sweetness to the mix.   I jarred 1.5L for later...

So... 4 lbs, 2 oz...     Thought I'd be cute and use an Andouille cure. 7 days in the beer fridge     A good cold water rinse, a dusting of fresh ground pepper and 3 more hours with the IPAs     Meathead and others were claiming +/- 2 hours @ 225F to an IT of 150F. This took 4. The coal burner was impeccably well behaved, considering the unit sat in a 25 mph gale...         It only chilled an hour and I NEEDED a bacon cheeseburger, so she got sliced a little tick...     I have a new knife sharpener ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KF8MKKJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) conveniently (and coincidentally?) being delivered today. Gonna need it. But this bacon is thee shit! Salty, savory, maybe a tisch...

Searched and found one 7 years ago and instead of activating a necro thread with dead photobucket links I thought might start a new one. Winter here so probably gona do some sweet stuff :D   Had a craving for eggs lately. Rye bread/tomato with a slab of Havarti, Golden berry hot sauce and harissa sauce.  

I have long been a fan of Indian Chinese food. To my understanding, its origins are based on food cooked by Chinese migrants to India designed for the local Indian palate. So it tends to be spicy but also using soy sauce/vinegar and cooked quickly in a wok rather than the more typical Indian way of cooking slowly over a long period of time. Although it's called Hakka cuisine in India, it bears little resemblance to the cuisine of the Hakka Chinese.   The occasional dish that you would be seen offered in Indian restaurants in the UK but was never ordered as we were there for the curry! In a few trips to India and Sri Lanka, I experienced it more and enjoyed it immensely but never really sought it out when back in the West. When I lived...

Started baking some bread for both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinner. Here are the first couple out of the oven.

Homemade Corned Beef!!!    Why?  Because we can!    This thread is open to anyone making corned beef from scratch.  Please post pics, recipes and results!     I've been wanting to try making corned beef since seeing an episode of Floyd on Food about 20 years ago.  Love Keith Floyd!  He's a hoot to watch, gets a bit mucky, overfills the cooking pot, he's my inspiration and the original Drunken Chef!  (well, maybe not the first, but in my opinion, the best on TV.  :lol:  ) Through the wonder of YT- here's the original episode.   AmazingRibs website has some good information-Quoted from AmazingRibs~   "Your first question has to be "Why bother?" And the answer is simple: Homemade corned beef is better.  Why? The commercial stuff...

I frequently make Coffee cake and made some yesterday for a guy for his birthday, he didnt show up so I enjoyed it myself and gave a piece to my neighbor and enjoyed it.   Coco Buckwheat Coffee cake with Mango Apple Hab Sauce.     2 cups Buckwheat 1/2 cup coconut oil 1/2 cup fancy molasses 1/4 cup Honey 2 eggs 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 tbsp rounded coco powder 1 tsp Cinnamon powder 1/4 tsp ground fresh Nutmeg 1 tbsp fresh ground (blitzed) Ginger salt to taste Chipotley to taste.   Mix all except flour, once well blended then add flour. Let hydrate for an hour. Add baking powder, pour into pan, let rise for 30min. Bake 350f for 45 min (that will depend on were you live).   Sauce Blitz 500ml Mangoes, 300ml Apple, 1/2 stick whole Vanilla...

Using my new Fife flour I used it as the casing for a pie using my Deer mix I used for the throw-down.  

I've got family that live in on the Gulf coast in Mobile, Alabama. On every visit, I always get treated with "crawdads." The locals there have their favorite spots and most I've tried are amazing. I don't think that the food has a long history there, but something that crept across from the bayous of Louisiana. Regardless, they are cooked with various recipes of spicy "crab boil." Certainly not a staple food here in my Palmetto state. Had lunch today with some buds at a better local Chinese buffet. They had crawdads and I indulged on a gluttonous three plates full. They were very good to my surprise but not "great" like the ones I had in Alabama. The spice was heavy Jalapeno as you can see in the pics. I have been told that there is a...

Iron Mike has been killing the smoking thread for a while. Some good weather and finally a little spare time, so I thought I'd bring my game...   My big smoker bit the dust some time ago, so I put together a small charcoal model I got as a gift a few years back,      I know it might be sacrilege to some, but I prefer using electric smokers because I rarely have time to properly tend to charcoal, So I bought an electric element and with a few mods, I'm in business!       20mb image hosting     I usually like Mesquite, but had some Hickory leftover,so Hickory it will be....     Smoker ready to go for later... time to brine.... what's it gonna be? Chicken I reckon....    

Well, it is kind of late getting this healthy food log(flog) thread going for this year. In reality, some things may not be specifically healthy but just good and/or I just like it. I will try to get a couple of things posted this week.   This will be a continuation from this thread.   http://thehotpepper.com/topic/70291-skullbikers-2019-healthy-stuff-glog/page-6

Brunch Omelet    Broccoli, Havarti, and white Cheddar omelet. Stuffed and smothered in creamy MN Wild Rice soup(leftover from throwdown :) )   Bite Pic   so tasty!  :drooling: Quite possibly the best omelet I've had so far this year.     :cheers:

Thought I did a thread for this but could not find it.   Roast Potatoes are one of my fav foods. Add a mix of spices in a bag and shook up pre cooked(crisper) and cut potato, then added Olive oil (or coconut depending how warm the day is solid on a cold day) in the bag and shook again, then in a pan at 450. Hummus as dip :)  

I've decided to start my own cooking thread     ..................more to come

Didn't see one and I noticed their are some people making their own Noodles so hope theirs going to be more interest. Gonna make some Noodles from scratch this weekend.   meanwhile;   Linguine Alfredo, kind ove.   Squid ink noodles and leftover clam chowder from this months Throwdown, topped with Blue Cheese and added more Dried Yellow Habaneros.    

Always short of Dip's :)     Onions Cream cheese Garlic Chickpeas Ring of Fire Peppers Oregano fresh Basil Fresh ACV Salt
