Canned some peaches today.
 
Smoked a pork butt overnight. Put it on at 10:30pm and pulled it off to rest at 2 pm the next day. 15 hours or so. Soooo good

Picked up some boneless beef short ribs recently, and wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them. Wound up smoking them, and making burritos with Cilantro Lime Rice, Black Beans, Jalapeño, Queso, etc…
 
Made some taters from the colony lot (oven roasted, thyme, salt, pepper, butter), red wine sauce, a Picco de Gallo with tomatoes from our lot, and some ribeye.

I attempted to make a daquoise today but i got fucked by the recipe

Needed to double the merengue and the cream had way, way too much butter.

Shame... i tried the praline cream witout the additional butter and goddamn that was heavenly. Anyway, at least I learnt to make praline.

Were going to have people over last saturday for some wild caught salmon, unfortunately we all came down with strep throat so had to cancel!! Had allready dethawed it, so decided to make some gravlax (oven baked the rest of it, been eating alot of salmon this week :P).

So easy, so delicious, just salt/sugar/white pepper/dill, cover salmon with the mix, 2-3 days in the fridge, and you get what I think is the best way to eat salmon.

I'll probarly end up snacking it all up, and have some hard bread sandwiches, just some black pepper on it. You usually serve with potatoes and a mustard sauce, potatoes naturarly have to be boiled with dill.. :D

Smoked my first Brisket Saturday night. 13lbs, injected and rubbed. Put on at 7pm at 200, wrapped at 165 and took off at 1pm the next day. Turned out awesome.

That is a cool pan! Might have to get one I usually do big Denny's sized pancakes now since my griddle seems to always set off the smoke alarm.

Wanted to smoke a Chuck Roast this weekend for some BBQ beef sandwiches. Found Angus Chuck Roasts marked down, so that was a nice win.
Smoked it today with carmelized onions, and a new Apple BBQ sauce from Backyard Food Co.

Happy new years dinner. Think I made a bit too much crabdip, just the two of us.. :P Swedish lobsters, really delish, they grow in very cold water so have a extremely clean taste. :)
 
It is skrei season, when the cod wanders and spawns, and is at it's best around the Baltics and Northern See (yes, that is how we spells it :)). They are like fat salmons.. .P

Classic Aussie omelette for breakky. Medallion bacon, diced capsicum, halved mini roasted tomatoes, Spanish onion, sprinkling of light mozzarella and 3 eggs. Add some splashes of tabasco and worcestershire.

 
Boys Easter Friday in


Starter - Lamb liver with a pomegranate sauce with a glass of Bordeaux. We had never done liver before. Superb, and liver is so cheap for what you get

Main - beef fillet matured in oven and seared on pan, in a slow reduced red wine sauce with a glass of Burgundy.

Had to try it, newer farm methods, they don't have to kill the sturgeon, which I guess is a huge leap, as they don't start producing roe until 7-14 years old. The farm is just a hour south, not good for wallet. :P

Just on crackers, but you slurp them off, don't eat the cracker. :P Supernice flavour, a joy to try once in a blue moon!

Salmon for dinner.

This thread is insane. Such talented cooks. I don't know how most here manage to makes such tasty looking meals. No matter how delicious I make my foods they mostly just end up resembling porridge.

Doing pork belly and crackling, figured out a good method. The pork has to be level, no scoring, do 140 C for 2.5 H, then crank the temp to 240 C for half a hour. Perfect crackling. Tent in a cube for the 2.5hours, it almost cooks confite! Use foil underneath to level the pieces for the hot temp.

I know it's weird, usually it's smurfs that lock mushrooms.

(also what does "tent in a cube" mean? Just a foil cover?)

You make a box shape with the foil, to keep the fat in tight, so the belly cooks in its own fats. :) If you just put the pieces in a large oven form, the fat will spread out and only cook the bottom part of the pörk.

Apple season is here, guess it is time for the apple pies!
