Brand new recipe, never done it before right? Can I just follow the instructions? NOOO! I used Brown sugar instead of White, Added 1/3 cup of Cornstarch to help bind it ( Gluten free for Herself’s good health) and decided on a whim to add 3/4 cup of crushed Walnuts to the mix.
The completely made up Absolutely not authentic Homemade Birria Tacos. This should work for making a base. The only recommended protein source. Are you in fact, right now…afraid for your gastronomic health? ( you probably should be.) A mere 9 hrs later.. What do you say to a plate of these eh?
Thanks, your cooking and baking in cast iron was the inspiration that made me want to try some cast iron myself. So the compliment coming from you is extra nice Even have similar supervision of my cooking in the back
If the Almighty causes fruits to grow in the summertime sun... Southerners will put them in a Cobbler! We're scary. Ain't no surprise nobody wants anything to do with us.
Well.. This was going to be Boudin Stuffed Cornbread as much loved by my Louisiana sisters n brothers. But there seems to be some kind of conspiracy afoot to hide or horde all the boudin somewhere. Sausage Stuffed Cornbread it is! Chopping chopping... and change the outcome on the fly, Go! Sausage links? End cuts. Ain't no fooling this one. 4 qt bowl of just the killer filler. The train has now departed the railway right here. 15" of deliciousness. Suppers waiting.. Y'all come on now.
Never ever ask "When is a good time?..." For those about to rock!! In the summertime.. In the wintertime... In the daytime... Or the nighttime... Anytime is good time When its Swamp Soup time. Ain't no weakness no fire inside on this side of the creek friends. Y'all come on.
Laughing at Aussies. The fine folks at Mitchell's in down under land should know better than send this across the sea to a Yank.. We'll just smoke it black for some..unnatural purpose. To be a cook is to embrace chaos.. violence.. The orange one, He fears no such thing. Do Aussies even use woks? I have no idea... I'll have to ask them about it. Look at this. The element this was cooked on is still showing a heat signature.. But the entire 12 inch pot is gone. EVERY LAST BITE. Probably should never question "Why" I need a 15 inch 4 gallon pot or an 18 inch skillet to cook in.. It might cause a sudden unplanned outbreak of... Violence.
Costco had pork belly on sale for $10 off the sticker. Seems like an opportunity for fun. Did some pork belly in fried rice, but the main reason is to try my hand at bacon. Step 1: Cut it to fit a vacuum seal bag, weight, calculate, and rub. Looking for 2.5% salt, 1.5% brown sugar, and 0.25% pink curing salt. 1660 grams * 0.025 = 41.5 grams kosher salt 1660 grams * 0.015 = 24.9 grams brown sugar 1660 grams * 0.0025 = 4.15 grams pink curing salt You can add pepper. Some recipes suggest onion powder, garlic powder, herbs like thyme. Let your conscience be your guide. Mix it all up, stir well, and rub. Slide it into the vacuum seal bag and seal it, and into the fridge for 7 days, flipping it over once a day. Take it out of the bag and rinse everything off. No vacuum sealer? Ziplok freezer bag. 1 - Vac Seal by Kylemeister posted Aug 2, 2025 at 9:34 PM Step 2: Smoke it I ran 200F on the smoker with a couple of pieces of pecan. Recipes vary on suggested pull temperature. The longer you go, the more smoke. 2 - Smoke by Kylemeister posted Aug 2, 2025 at 9:34 PM Step 3: Pull it. I opted for 155. Let cool to room temp, wrap tightly and refrigerate. 3 - Done by Kylemeister posted Aug 2, 2025 at 9:34 PM Step 4: Pork belly burnt ends I didn't want to double down on bacon for my first attempt, but I know these are a crowd pleaser. Dice the belly into big chunks and hit it with your favorite rub. 4 - Cube And Rub by Kylemeister posted Aug 2, 2025 at 9:34 PM Step 5: Arrange on a wire mesh cooling rack for easy in & out of the smoker. 5 - Smoke by Kylemeister posted Aug 2, 2025 at 9:34 PM Step 6: Smoke 2½ hours at 250F. Then transfer to an aluminum pan. Sprinkle with brown sugar and honey. Wrap tightly with aluminum foil, and toss it in the oven at 250 for another 1½ hours. 6 - Glaze by Kylemeister posted Aug 2, 2025 at 9:34 PM Step 7: Stir to coat and feast. Vacuum seal any leftovers. 7 - Feast by Kylemeister posted Aug 2, 2025 at 9:34 PM
Something like 15% of all Americas bacon is packaged in my home town so the local grocery store has 10 pound boxes of bacon "ends and pieces" for cheap, they are always loaded with big thick chunks of smoked belly, love to cube it and add brown sugar like that, soooo good! Pork belly is very underutilized, gets a bad rap with all the cholesterol propaganda.

Live..from the place with several..bottomless pits. This will require chicken. These are fairly c!ean, not a lot of trim needed. Cut across the thickness for 2 portions, scored cross hatched, seasoned and 24 hrs in refrigeration. Fast forward thru time, We need a.."few" prep bowls. Come.now..It wasn't really THAT hard. Then "In to the out side". (Orange QC will monitor these procedures. ) I give you, Lemon Chicken Picatta. TO THE EXTREME! Food.coma...Here we come again.
And now.. Something outrageous. Herself wants something..I am..the servant. We are going to use these.. (These recipes sometimes fail to explain exactly HOW many people are being served bere. (4 qt bowl.) Completely in house made Street Tacos with Shrimp Homemade Pico de Gallo and Mexican Basted Corn. Whose hungry?
