food =[ grantmichaels' skunkworx thread ]=

you had me until sweet baby rays...... :sigh: ...



That's OK, we still love you....






Keep Cooking!
 
Mebby I should post this in the "I admit it" thread...but I'm kind of partial to Cattleman's.....

It has an old-school basic flavor, but is a ton of fun to "play" flavors with! It's how I got my feet wet with superhots, and it was a BLAST!!!!!

I love that some of you Foodies keep some of the basics in your fridge door shelves....for emergencies, and inspiration when needed!!!!!! :)

My heroes.....
 
I haven't been drankin' enough for DC ...

made mexican beef and skipped the shells ... we had 4 lb of beef, but only one packet ... so we made seasoning ourselves and it was good.

as for the 2 lbs of gruyere that was supposed to be used for some TD action ... the first lb was consumed largely like so ...

60 was shorter than we liked, 90 was longer, we'll go for 75 next time and try to hit the sweet spot ...

regardless, all forked up ...

that was good stuff ...

making some more ice cream tonight, and pizza ... nothing too exciting, really ...

can't start my homemade soda exploration yet because the CO2 regulator came damaged and I have to wait for a replacement 60 psi gauge to get here ... herp derp.
 
longing for an adult beverage ... i think tonight's the night, finally ... two more kitchens and we'll see ...

the northerner's are here and are starting their winter remodels ...
 
last weekend's hungover chef was catered ...

Tagine is the best treatment for chicken imho ... Tandoor might be better, actually, but I don't have that rig at home (yet) ... I've seen some terracotta pot rigs, I think ... maybe even here, actually? ...

5353A4C1-EFB2-4E51-8278-A68DB23D9FEA-7195-00001BB1C9E376F4.jpg

After finding ground turkey ok when blended 50/50 w/ beef for meatloaf, and at full-strength for lasagna, we tried it for Mexican ...

But since it wasn't good in Mexican, the following night I had to rock a Pepperide Farm 5-Cheese garlic bread in the 'bot w/ a half dozen slices of gruyere on some meatloaf ...

Which was as awesome as one would expect ...

CC7DEB0D-E103-49AD-8BC2-CAECBC0AFF8A-7195-00001BB185A908DC.jpg

Makin soda huh? Brewin beer next?
 
one of these days i'll have to see what's involved in making an imperial or milk stout ... for now though, it's about the soda ...

we've already had a couple of turkey dinners this month, including last night ...

work ordered Five Guys for lunch today, at least I resisted the fries ... which is hard to do, because their fries are sickeningly good ...

D6FE46A6-11CA-4E92-A2DE-0B9A052E0CC9-1478-0000044C19DA7FC5.jpg


and since I left work early, there was time for some eggnog cocktail fun ...

FD6BD982-CFF4-4367-BC1B-7F0A17CE4F1D-1478-0000044C0C952DAF.jpg

this binge ends w/ Friday's Thanksgiving leftovers, I guess ...
 
I have been out of the loop for a bit, and sad to say that this is the first time I have checked in on this thread for a while. Damn fine looking eats GM. You and I seem to have similar tastes in food. I did notice though that there is a lot less boozey pics in here than the drunken chef... You didn't quit drinking did you?
 
I agree, pretty much all of your food looks appealing to me ...

We haven't been drinking as much, that's a #truestory ... no real reason, though, other than being unusually slammed at work and rough mornings just put me in a hole from the start when it's like this ...

I should drop some pork rib debauchery this weekend, and i've got some other stuff i'm plotting for the near future ...

Cheers!
