    Finally! Soft rye bread for sandwiches.

    Since I wasn't making no knead bread, the amount of yeast was just fine. Interesting to see if a no knead version would give the results I was looking for. My guess is the crust might be too tough. Why don't you give it a whirl and post the results?

    Smoked Burgers

    Burgers look fantastic!! Reminds me of a story from my wife's family. I'd dug an old cast iron skillet out of her mother's basement and asked her if I could take it home and restore it. She said that would be fine and then said "That's the old skillet we used to take to the trout stream. We'd...

    Pulled Pork on the fly!

    I'd bought about a 4lb pork butt on sale at the local grocery, brought it home and promptly forgot about it. It had been in the fridge for about 5 days when I remembered it, so I figured I'd better get it on the smoker. Wednesday night I seasoned it with a rub consisting of the usual brown...

    Slightly different take on a cheesesteak.

    Can't comment on what they taste like now, but back in the mid '80s I thought both were pretty decent. I was sternly instructed by philadelphian friends to order "Wiz wit", then shut my mouth and step aside.

    Slightly different take on a cheesesteak.

    I make them with a heavy dose of pickling spice and a little extra sugar. When sauteed and added to things like chili or curry, they add a subtle complexity that doesn't dominate the rest of the dish, but makes people go "Hmm, what is that?". I a good way, I hope. :)

    Slightly different take on a cheesesteak.

    HAHA!! Old Bear and I butted heads on more than one occasion back in the good old days. He's dearly missed.

    Slightly different take on a cheesesteak.

    I grew up in a fairly large city in the Mid Atlantic. Since it was NOT Philadelphia, the eponymous cheesesteak from that city was not normally on the menu. We had a whole bunch of little sub shops (mostly owned and operated by Greek immigrants) where one could get such delights as Souvlaki...

    Cottage pie with a bit of a twist.

    I should add I'd planned to do this in the smoker, but the weather wasn't cooperating. I'm dying to try it that way. I think it'll give the flavor a nice boost.

    Cottage pie with a bit of a twist.

    Cottage pie (beef) and Shepherd's pie (lamb) are particular favorites around here. Been making them for years, but over time I'd gotten bored with the mashed potato topping. Back in October, I went on a camping trip with my old friend Blind Willie. On the way home, we stopped for breakfast at a...

    Monday Smashed burgers and Curry tots!!

    Thanks! Apparently curry fries (or tots) are really popular in Ireland and the UK. I first had them at an Irish themed pub in DC.

    Monday Smashed burgers and Curry tots!!

    Thanks Jim! The gravy is really tasty. If I were making it just for me I'd add garlic and some hot sauce or cayenne.

    Vegan sourdough corn fritters!

    Those look amazing! Care to share the recipe? I have a family member who is vegan, and it's always nice to serve her something besides veggie burgers when she comes over.

    Monday Smashed burgers and Curry tots!!

    Gave the Fam-damily a choice between burgers and chicken curry last night. Burgers was the resounding winner, but I really had a taste for curry. So I decided to make tater tots with curry gravy to go with the burgers. The tater tots are your basic frozen variety. The curry gravy is a little...
