Ok... let's see if this takes off.
Might be a bit of a stretch to ask audiophiles to take photographs of food.
That's a niche, in a niche, in a niche, but I think it would be fun. :lol:
To start.... A device I have not seen, touched, or used in forty years, but my childhood came calling so I had to buy one.
And a dual unit at that. Looking forward to using it.

Nice! :thumb:
Any special recipes you'd be willing to share?
Good to see others using the venerable pie iron in this day and age!

Getting ready for the big week ahead. Pork in all its glory. Bacon wrapped ground pork seasoned and seared with a slow smoke.
And I don't have the real picture talent.

..........Bacon wrapped ground pork........
That's a bacon wrapped fattie! :thumb:
Nice! One of the favorites in my house. I'll do several at a time and freeze them.
Thaw, and reheat with an egg on a biscuit and you've got yourself a fattie sandwich. Yum.

Okay, this is my Mediterranean Cod Fillets dish.
Lightly seasoned with Gordo's Mediterranean spice, (which I believe it no longer makes, but I stocked up. It's a mixture of garlic, onion, salt, sugar, un-named spices) and Oregano. Then I smother it with butter and a light topping of Old Fashion style Dijon mustard.
It went down pretty fast. :drool:

Nothing like fresh fruits and veggies. Refreshing! :P

My new toy is a Joule sous vide, and thats a fillet cooked med. rare then seared in a smoking hot cast iron skillet. The fillet was then covered with a smattering of onions and baby 'bellas prepped in butter, of course!

So living here is Oregon it is Berry season. And one of my favorite is the Marion Berry. A hybrid of a couple different Black Berries. And so I will be making a cobbler a day.

Hey Alan...sorry, I just noticed your question. I have a 9 and 7 year old, and we go through band-aids like 7 and 9 year olds do. I also go through Kool-aid like I have a 7 and 9 year old. The white box is a bulk Band-aid container which happens to be the same width as Kool-aid packets. So I crossed out "Band" with a Sharpie and scribbled "Kool" above it and filled it with the powdered packets of summer joy!

Ohh, I like that idea. Of course, I'll have to talk to the wife about adopting "this random audio guy I met on the internet".
I'm sure she'll be fine with it. :icon_twisted: :lol:

Bob:
Burgundy or Merlot? Pino seems a little soft for the bold flavors ya got goin on there ()but what do I know).
(Talk to the wife yet), I'm drooling on that steak.
New grocery store opened up near me, Lidl, with Hereford steaks that are pretty expensive. I'll spurge one of these days.
Don
-
Merlot, thank you very much.
I grill/smoke a lot, to say the least, but my girls (wife/daughter) aren't steak fans, so we don't have it very often. Wife said it's been a couple YEARS since we had steak. :o

Years??? :cry:
I love my steak. Growing up, we always had a small herd of cattle, so beef was always on the menu. Steak was at least weekly. I still seldom go two weeks without a rib eye, sirloin, or NY strip off the grill. Last night was left over sirloin with a Spanish grenache.
-
Yea, YEARS. :duh:
She thinks it was two summer vacations ago.
Hard to believe actually. Part of the problem, is I live out in the sticks, and on the weekend when I spontaneously want a steak, I have to drive further than I'm willing to, to get a good cut.
This was the "fanciest" cut my local store had in stock. :roll:
-
OK, now I just don't understand. Are you telling me that you live without a chest freezer full of beef??? :o :o
I knew that St. Louis wasn't Texas, but my god, you must live on the dark side of the moon! One steak every two years? At that rate, how many more do you figure to consume in this life?? I bet I've got you covered with stock on hand! Seriously, I keep a couple of briskets, 12-18 steaks, 2-3 roast, and 4-5 lbs of stew meat on hand at all times.
Son, you com'on down to Texas and let us fatten you up with decent vittles.
As Aaron Copland said, "Beef, it's what's for dinner!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN_86_PjRvY

Man after my own heart. I love a strip. My go to steak at least 3x a month.
And good to see someone else embracing butter on a steak. Won’t help the waistline, but my tastebuds send me a thank you card every time!
-
Scott, I am ashamed and embarrassed. I'll try to step up my beef game. :lol:
But yea, I don't have a deep freeze. There's a "second" fridge in the man cave, and the freezer is full of things I've smoked (pulled pork, "fatties", and various "stocks"), but no raw uncooked meat.
Mark, that was my first compound butter. A definite "must" for steaks, that was very good.

Very cool, Bob!!

Thanks Jerry. :D
Best $30 I've ever spent on the BBQ, and great use for an old/outdated Android phone. :thumb:
-
Hah, I just donated 2 older Android phones this AM when upgrading my wife to an iPhone 7+.
A very cool thing there though!
I am making chili with my daughters for the Grey Cup tomorrow (the Canadian football league Superbowl).
-
Made this a few nights ago for myself while the wife was on biz trip. Salisbury steak, mashed taters, and green beans with mushroom gravy.

That's it. We have a winner! Did it taste near as good as it looks?

Oh yes, very much so!
So juicy, I had to pour it out of the cavity! Best turkey I think I've had.
This is the fourth or fifth year we've smoked one, first year I've brined one.

A tasty brew (Garrison City Beerworks - Daybreak) with some Garbage Bread (eggs, tater tots, cheese, bacon, and sausage)...a great way to get ready for Football Sunday!

A little nod to our Irish brethren on this St. Patrick’s Day.
"Dublin Coddle". I highly recommend it. I didn't change much, other than the beer.
I used "VooDoo Ranger", instead of Guinness.
Not sure why my photo looks odd and tilted?

Dropped some bacon on the ground. Thought I'd toss it into the woods for the wildlife.
Didn't quite make it.

:scratch: Did the wife see it hit the ground? If not, pick off the grass, bugs, and larger bits of dirt and throw it back on the grill. Only the cook knows what goes into the secret sause. A golden rule of cooking is bacon should never go to waste
-
:lol: Well, I agree. But in case there's a God of Pork, I thought I'd give an offering.
