Where da peanut butta?
Cockadoodle Dooo.......teaser and pol
:
Oh, the point was it's a challenge to start with peanut butter not make one with the other ingredients, like if someone handed you these four ingredients. Next time I'll explain the show better. But now it is peanut butter so that should be one of your starting ingredients, not a finished one.
No it's all good! And I gotcha. It's just semantics at this point, you can start with homemade ingredients, as long as the result is the starting point for something. Just trying to explain it. Keep going. 
Here are some progress teasers....

Apple Stuffed Pork Loin....

In the spirit of Independence Day, I was thinking about making 50 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with apples, and downing them using the bourbon to soften the bread. But after coming to my shop on the morning of the 5th and seeing that some hoodlum had smashed out my front window (he got arrested in the act), I'm still feeling less than patriotic. I'm going asian with this thing.
Scovie, take your eyes off of her profile pic and concentrate on the TD...

Dang it forgot to in clude the Peanut Butter and I dont have Photo Shop on this puter
The Pork loin roast is split into two roasts and marinating in different ingredients. The bottom one is for the Chiliheads and includes Bourbon, English Brown Ale and RocketMan's Dragons Blood. The top one is marinating in home made Bourbon Apple Butter (Jim Beam,Apples, brown sugar and cinnimon cooked down and blended) English Brown Ale and bourbon.
They are going to marinate over night and then into the smoker at about 230 degrees F and will be out about noon.
Great entries so far. Everyone is looking good. Hopefully this is the last time I have to do a TD with this IPhone.
come on FD what cha got?

Thai Meatballs with Bourbon Peanut Butter Dipping Sauce
Meatballs
I pulsed 2 jalapenos, a head of garlic, half of a fuji apple, 1/2 tsp salt, and a couple inches of ginger, in the food processor, then worked the mix, along with 1/4 cup of corn flour into a pound and a half of ground pork. I rolled them into balls, and fried them for 5 1/2 minutes.
For the sauce, I mixed about a 1/4 cup of peanut butter, 3 tablespoons of coconut milk, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, a tablespoon of yellow thai curry paste, a tablespoon of soy sauce, about 2 ounces of bourbon, and a couple shakes of superhot powder.
Topped with a little sauce and minced chives, and then I went to town on them.
