[wheebz]

well i havent ever done something like this before, but hey, might as well try it out

I was going to do a chicago deep dish pizza on croissant in the dutch oven, but I decided against it at the last moment

teaser...

 

[wheebz]

and no the other pans werent used to cook, the pot was used to wash the mussels and clams

the frying pan is there because I have no where else to put it in this kitchen the size of most peoples showers...

 

[wheebz]

BTW its my birthday, so I better win this TD

Wheebz.....

I had thought SOMEONE would do a Chicago deep dish. It would have been a damn fine idea! However, seafood is an excellent alternative!!

GO birthday chef!!!

Damn Wheebz. That looks good!!! Well done sir.
On a side note, I'd like you to start a posting or a blog that reviews and recommends "good" beers. I drink crap, but I do appreciate the finer things too. You always have a different offering in your pics.
I value and respect your opinions on that matter!!! (and if you already do that, please tell us where!). Good looking grub!

It may be your birthday, but Sum's cooking in a bikini.

[wheebz]

yea im gonna definitely have a hard time on this one

although I have 1 cutting board, 1 frying pan, 1 knife, a spatula, and 2 plates, and those are the only things I have in my house

ohh and chop sticks haha

There are a bunch of beer threads in the Booze section, I just post in all of them every once in a while

I guess I could start a "ask any question you want about beer thread"

 

[frydad4]

how about a "Wheebz Beer of the Week" thread. Complete with a running list of all of the beers you recommend.
I digress. This is off topic. You did a great job, regardless of the equipment limitations you may have! Awesome!

Ok, here's my entry - Green Chile Stew - Cowboy style!

Ingredients:

Pork Butt
Hatch Green Chile
Roma Tomatoes
Garlic
Chicken stock
Mexican Oregano
Cumin, ground
Cilantro to garnish

And the pictures. Here is the POL shot:

The chiles roasted, peeled and ready to chop:

The cooking setup - definitely nothing fancy:

The pork, having its Maillard reaction:

Almost done - spices go in:

And the final product - sorry, but I tanked the cornbread and had to go with a tortilla:

 

[geeme]

I'm just so impressed someone on this thread knows what the Maillard reaction is (besides me.) Oh, and really nice-looking pot-o' grub you go there, too!

Everyone's making a fine show so far!

 

[midwestchilehead]

Thanks. Turned out it was damn tasty, too. That was my first time cooking in a real DO on an open fire. Very rustic.

 

[5oclocksomewhere]

Sum and FryDad, I see you have made the switch to Kingsford charcoal. Well done. You will like the results.

 

[JayT]

Holy crap, MWCH = PMD the real cowboy cooker!
