I know I'm cooking kahlua(+chocolate oatmeal stout) pork in the coming days, and that I'm trying to put in the work to create the effect an Imu would normally ...
 
I've never had kahlua pork, but I like kahlua and I had a shot of it in a glass of my chocolate oatmeal stout the other night, and it was heavenly ...
 
I like and miss smoking pulled pork ... and this sounds like an Asian-leaning/seasoned staple dish in Hawaii that can be seasoned in a way I think a pork butt would shine ...
 
I *want* to (and shopped to) make Asian steamed buns, but have never baked anything except hot dogs, pizza, or steak ...
 
I bought some red onions to quick pickle ... I think I asked D3 recently about his, so I'll probably riff on his because they photograph well ...
 
I have the Hawaiian seasoning (red aleae or whatever salt, garlic, ginger) on hand, and huli huli marinade ... and I bought my first frozen banana leaves while shopping yesterday. ^5, SoFlo =)
 
I haven't decided if I'm going to use pork tenderloin, pork butt, and/or pork ribs from SRF ...
 
Or - if I'm pressure-cooking, indoor pressure-smoking, or bbq smoking + sous vide'ing ...
 
I've been waiting for the right opportunity to share an "liquid smoke" that I do like, and even if I smoke IRL, I'll probably still add a drop of some magic =) ...
 
If that wasn't enough pressure to place on myself ... I signed up for making some other shit I'd never heard of that hogleg posted about ... sabayon ... I love those custard-y dessert (I typically chose crème brulee as my dessert of choice, unless tiramisu is available), and I think my big ole barleywine will work swimmingly in that format ...
 
I've never made custard, cooked with homebrew, or made food in the siphon ... woot.
 
So, yeah, basically I'm cooking a bunch of shit I've never cooked, in ways I've never cooked, and I've never even had the items I'm making before ...
 
I won't even be able to say if I made it well, only whether or not I liked what I made ...
 
Not a recipe for success, typically, LOL.
 
It'll be here or in my thread by Monday, one way or another, once I make it through the combinatorics of how I'm executing it while working - which I quite unfortunately am ...

The bread is beautiful! Something I haven't tried to do yet.

And great beer batter - perfectly fried.

Grant, Take a breath!
 
hmmm too bad the old lady doesn't like pumpkin soup or I would make that with something beer related. Here's my old pumpkin soup recipe. lol don't mind the crappy blog. I didn't keep up with it for long. http://practicallyprimalfamily.blogspot.com/
 
if I do get in on this train i'm just keeping it simple. Maybe some beer brats and maybe the poppers, jalapeno and amarillo stuffed with cream cheese, cheddar, wrapped in bacon and dredged through beer batter and deep fried. 
 
I know I wouldn't win any votes with it though. 
 
Mise en place in place.

Turn it into a white sauce, then a cheese sauce with milk, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Trinidad Scorpion cheddar.

Missed a pic of adding the fresh frozen Maryland Shore sweet corn and the egg yolks, s+p.

Whipped egg whites. Too bad there is not a machine to make this easier. Thanks to Charlie for tag teaming me on the whipping!

And into the oven.
