food The Drunken Chef

HTH - it's rotated fine. Clear your cache and look again.

Ok, now where was I? Oh yeah, something about drankin' and cookin'.....


Early in the roasting process. Cooked at 225F for about 6 hours. First roasted an hour with just the dry rub on it, then started slapping happy sauce on it every hour. Note for TB: I set a pan of hot water on the lower rack, so also rotated the ribs each hour, to make sure each half got it's time away from the heat shield. It was a good plan.....

After 6 hours slapped them under the broiler a few minutes. Unfortunately, left them in a tad longer than I intended, so there's more "bark" than I planned for, but it really didn't affect the insides.

Look at that!

As I noted earlier, this was my first time making ribs. Thanks to Scovie and JayT for giving me some tips!

The flavor: Excellent. I'm still not a huge rib fan, for the same reasons I'm not a huge wing fan - I just don't want to have to work that hard to eat my food! But that aside, I will totally make the rub and sauce again, and use them on tenderloin, flank steak, or chicken thighs - fo sho! I've had Jack Daniels BBQ sauces before, and didn't really care for them. This was a nice balance of sweet and savory, with a good kick due to both the ginger and the chiles.
 
Ok so now back to our regularly scheduled program. Oven Ribs!!!! Where are they FD? Sum? Grant?

BTW, nice G. I would maybe use the broiler on a little lower setting, and maybe a little more sauce, but it sounds good.
 
Yeah, don't take what I said as criticism though G, those are juicy ribs. I have done the same thing many times. The lower setting with a couple brushes of sauce creates a nice moist crust.
 
Thanks guys. And J - I don't look at critiquing the same as criticizing - it's cool! I'd rather have good input so next time can be even better.
 
Well I know nothings snazzy well it did turn out to be damn good chili and jalapeno cheese corn bread. I intended to take more picture but that bottle of sailor jerry was full before i started, I cant even begin to remember half of whats in the chili and its a shame, as we all agreed it was some of the best chili we had ever eaten. The pot was split in two, and one of them had a hand full of peppers and powders tossed in, came out super hot, excellent smoky flavor.

Ah yes, Sailor Jerry. The hangover rum. The sh*t your draws the next day rum. The "please make the pounding stop now!" headache rum... That stuff kills me. I can't drink it anymore.

That chili though gets a big ol thumbs up
 
Welcome to the game Durango!
Sounds like you and your buddies ate good food and got all liquored up.

The ESSENCE of the drunken chef. Do it again!

I've never had Sailor Jerry, but they have been pushing it pretty hard at a waterfront tiki-bar I go to after work sometimes.
Everyone who drinks it complains how drunk it makes them feel, and how shitty they feel the next day.

Must be good.
 
Ehh sailor doesn't bother me too much, and I drank three fourths of whats gone there, Ive always had a crazy tolerance, and rarely get hangovers. Usually when I Thai one on I wind up coming up with some interesting crazy stuff, Glad to see im not the only one in this boat. My wife actually plies me with liquor when she wants a really good meal. Being a disabled stay at home dad of four gives me lots of time to experiment too. I may still be slightly drunk in fact its hard to tell, if just fuzzy or........
 
I said I would do it. And I'm feeling like a man of my word at the moment. Drunken dessert pic from last night...

Have at it.. Soo good and moist. Panana butter bars.

Also as you all have probably heard. Isaac was rolling through last night. No one warned us about the chance of beautiful sunsets with possible isolated rainbows

Just look at that! You can practically feel Isaac's wrath from the pics alone.
 
JT's jambalaya isn't warding off Isaac for Nawlins', I guess ...

I'm wishing I was at home, but couldn't spin up a good enough reason to stay there ... everything is swirling around, and nothing is hitting here ...
 
FD

Sailor Jerry - 90 Proof, bit of a burn going down with a sweet finish

Captain Morgans - 70 Proof, Sweet flavors from start to finish and finishes with some really nice Vanilla notes

Morgans used to be Perfect then the owners moved it from Porto Rico to the VI's. It is now made with a different base rum that just doesn't match up to what it was. My wife loves Morgans and would still rather have The Captain but Sailor Jerry is a good close sub.
 
Good to know.

Spiced rum isn't my favorite.
I think I might have consumed too much of it in college.

I don't mix my liquor with anything except ice cubes these days, unless I'm making a mojito or a margarita.
 
Nice to see new contributors (Durango) ...

I got busy on both Frito's and some queso w/o going for the Frito pie late last night ... oops, sometimes you'll have that.

I just searched the site for a keyword and it came back empty, so I might introduce something new later this week or over the weekend ...

Btw short of the ehhhemm liquid nitro everything In my meal can be purchased at wally world for less than 30$ im pretty sure it was more like, 23 or so and this will feed 6 people well. Will have to look at receipt though to be sure. And of course, as i normally do though we have had a horrible drought this year and well problems so I had to let the garden go mostly You can substitute fresh veggies for even better goodness and its more economical. Oh peppers used are powdered birds eye, a whole naga morich in the curry sauce forgot to take pics.
