once the cubes were browned, i tossed them in the cameron smoker, leaving the juices behind in the pressure cooker, and smoked them while i browned the ground beef etc ...
and ...
and then i reintroduced the smoked cubes into the browned ground beef, onions, jalapenos, and hot pods and deglazed w/ a Rolling Rock ...
everything looked to be timed up right, so i poured another adult beverage ...
the pasta came out just fine, coated it w/ a half stick of butter ...
and the chili needed just a pinch of corn starch (mixed in cold water) to thicken up a bit ...
the gourmet semi-soft pappadeux (?sp) and jalapeno cheddar and sliced scallion and some sour cream sat out ready to finish ...
like boom ...
it flat rocked and i cannot believe i ate as much as i did ...
and so now i must leave you all ...
