Friday's Follies

[Pete in PG]

Nothing complex but all good.

My sister sent me a care package from Bobby Nelson's Cheese Shop in Kenosha, WI. Great appetizer!!

Simple stuff here.... Just some wings dusted with Chef Merito's seasoning.

Getting there! We're probably just past the 1 hour mark - indirect and 325

Quesadillas joining the fun.

Please pull up a chair and join me!

Let's have some dessert too.... pineapple upside down cake. No pines or apples were harmed in making this cake.

Dig in!

Thanks for lookin' at my cookin'!

 

[P. Mack]

Outstanding cook! That pineapple upside down looks to die for!

 

[Nick_U]

That looks tasty! I am a big fan of pineapple upside down cake and that cake looks great.

 

[Wolgast]

Whatta feast! Jaw drooping good!

It looks like you absolutely nailed those wings! Did you do any special prep steps (like drying them in advance)? I'm still trying to get to the point that I can nail wings consistently, and yours look EXACTLY like what I'm aiming for.

 

[Enrico Brandizzi]

All looks super! Complimenti

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Looks fantastic, Pete. Love the cake.

 

[Jason Noble]

What a nice sister you have. The whole meal looks great but that desert is a showpiece!

 

[Rich Dahl]

Wow Pete that is a fabulous meal, really like the cake!

 

[Tim McCann]

Awesome cook all the way around Pete!

 

[RJ Banks]

Very nice. I will gladly join!

 

[Curt Davis]

That is a good looking meal. What size skillet did you use for the cake?

 

[Luke P]

Mark R stole the words right out of my...keyboard.

You made it look so simple, and I can hear the crunch in them!

 

[russ olin]

Nice post & great cook!

 

[Tony R]

I want a plate.

 

[John Solak]

I want THAT for dinner, looks fantastic!!!

 

[Pete in PG]

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I make wings about every other week and I think the Chef Merito's is my favorite dry rub.

Hey Mark; thank you. I do let the wings come up to room temp and blot them with paper towels before dusting. Nothing else really special - cook 'em indirect for about an hour plus at 325 and then flash them direct for more color.

That is a good looking meal. What size skillet did you use for the cake?

Hi Curt; that one was in a 9" cast iron skillet. Thank you.

 

[Svein]

Great looking wings. Never seem a cake like that before, fascinating stuff. No pineapple may have been hurt, but that cake would not have survived around me for very long

 

[John Sp]

Wow Pete that meal is classic! Those winds look perfect. Did you do the cake on the grill? How about a recipe for that?

Regards,

John

Good stuff, Pete! Thanks for sharing.
