    Yom Kippur Carne Asada

    Delicious looking cook. I have new appreciation for carne asada after watching Pati's Mexican Table on PBS with Pati Jinich. Carne asada is apparently like the word barbecue; it means more than one thing, including a meat dish, a method of cooking, and a social event.

    Pastrami

    Both of you did some great work. Beautiful pastrami, and a quality looking sandwich.

    Important note: Clean your drip pan before doing high-temp cooks!!!!

    I once smoked a meatloaf over an empty water pan topped with a clay saucer. Grease from the meatloaf (unbeknownst to me) dripped past the saucer into the pan, and the clay saucer that fit inside the pan formed a seal (likely as it cooled post-cook). On the next cook a week or two later, wild...

    Nakiri knife

    I bought a Milk Street (Christopher Kimball) Nakiri. They go for about $60 discounted, plus shipping. It is thin and sharp, and it is designed for vegetables rather than meat/bone. It is a bad mofo so far, but I'm not sure how I'm going to sharpen it when the need arises. I am not used to...

    Halibut tacos

    Nice. I always order halibut when it is anywhere near affordable. Great fish.

    Vietnamese inspired chicken

    That's some good flavors combined there. Sounds tasty!

    Hmmmm ... new season of BBQ Pitmasters ?

    The fake drama in so many of the BBQ shows turned me off of them, so I missed season 1 of BBQ USA. Season 2 is airing now, and I decided to give it a try. It is actually pretty good. It's one of the few Q-comp shows that skips the manufactured drama and takes you behind the scenes a bit to...

    John Fogerty

    John is a true musical genius. The number of hits he/CCR cranked out in such a short time is amazing.

    Double Peruvian Chicken Spun until they were dark and done.

    I always do two when going to the trouble of setting it all up.

    Double Peruvian Chicken Spun until they were dark and done.

    Nice looking chickens! I use two charcoal baskets for rotisserie, one on each side, with small amounts of charcoal in each. It's amazing how hot it gets in the big space the kettle rotisserie addition makes. The meat always browns up nicely. Not sure if one or two makes much difference with...

    Chuck Eyes

    Chuck eyes are the bomb. I wish they were more common around here. I skim the meat dept for them and snatch them up on a rare sighting. Yours are beautiful. Nice cooking.

    I may have cooked my last chicken wing....

    I like wings, but wife prefers legs, so we alternate. Probably do legs a little more these days since the price of wings went crazy. I've never seen the butterfly method, but I can't wait to try it. If you have time, a good brine of wings or legs makes a noticeable difference in how plump...

    Leg of Lamb

    Nice cook. It's been too long since we did lamb on the rotisserie. I used to be able to get it at a reasonable price at Sam's, but even they have been very expensive lately. Definitely a treat now rather than a typical weekend cook.

    Greek chicken kebobs with red pepper and zukes

    Looks tasty. We do fajitas often by grilling chicken, onions, peppers, etc. This looks like a good way to put a different spin on that old favorite.

    Any lawyers in the house with estate planning experience?

    Attorneys routinely do a conflicts check before taking on a new client. They make sure that neither they nor any of their partners are involved in lawsuits or disputes where they may be adverse to to the potential new client. For example, your Uncle Joe is a beneficiary of the trust. But the...

    BEEF RIBS

    That's a fast cook. I picked up $38 worth of what was labeled Tomahawk Beef Ribs. They are similar in size to yours. I'm not sure how long it will take to get them to the right tender/bark stage, so an upcoming weekend is going to be a beef rib crap shoot.

    Thinking of Going to the Dark Side

    I had for years a Spirit that the burners ran left to right. The new ones look like they run front to back, which is worlds better for indirect cooking. I much prefer the Genesis that I bought to replace the Spirit (which a friend is still using many years later), but a lot of that has to do...

    GrillGrates working today

    Looks good. I love my Grill Grates on a Weber Genesis. In the summer, we often make fajitas by doing something similar to your cook. Sous vide chicken breasts (145 for 2 to 2.5 hrs), then finish on grill for a couple minutes to brown. Use the flat side of Grill Grates to cook up a pile of...

    Creole meatballs with grits

    That recipe reminded me of some similar ones. If you like Cajun/Creole style meatballs, the Acadiana Table site (which has many great Louisiana recipes) has a a couple for meatballs. Cajun Meatballs and Peppers Meatball Fricassée

    Christmas Dinner Advice Needed – Making Brisket in December

    We hosted Christmas one year with both families coming for brisket. The beautiful December weather went wIndy like I’d never seen on Christmas Eve night. Of course. We broke out every card table, lawn chair, etc. (anchored with firewood) to fashion wind breaks on all sides; the wind shifted...
