Chateaubriand Cut for the soon to be Step Son
The Woman of My Dreams and I are getting married soon and my future step son came for a visit. I wanted something tasty but that wouldn't cut into the visit too much. I had a chateaubriand cut of tenderloin in the freezer. I wasn't going to go full classical and wrap it in thin sliced flank... -
Plum Pie
A good friend practically begged me to take some plums from a bumper crop. Now, I love pie but I have never heard of plum pie let alone made it. I went online and found a recipe on the Taste of Home site. It seemed simple and had a crumb top. I love crumb top. I had my doubts about Plum Pie... -
PIA Chicken Thighs for WOMD
WOMD (the woman of my dreams) hadn't tried my PIA (Pain in the Pants) chicken thighs. I normally only make them for special occasions but it was pointed out to me that it was Wednesday and that was enough of a special occasion. They are a bit of work but make a great chicken. I started by... -
Easy Smoked Salmon
The Woman of My Dreams (WOMD) wanted some salmon and picked up a nice little piece of wild salmon just a perfect size for us two. The problem is I am still not fully recovered from some medical problems and was feeling lazy. Normally, I would consider a bit more effort, Indian Candy, poaching in... -
Korean Wings
I was able to get some Gojuchan sauce in the local supermarket. It is a Korean garlic/pepper sauce and is very tasty and hard to get here in the Canadian Rockies. I used it for heat in a wings sauce. I mixed: 25 ml (2 tbsp) soy sauce 10 ml (2 tsp) Gojuchan sauce 15 ml (1 tbsp) hoisin 22 ml... -
Shrimp and Peanut Dip, a great easy appetizer to take to a friend
Last night we were invited out and asked to bring an appetizer. I hate it when someone shows up at my place and says, "I just need to use your oven for a few minutes" for an appetizer they brought. It interrupts me while I'm trying to juggle the rest of the meal. So, when I'm asked to bring an...- disco

Sweet ABT's
The Woman of My Dreams had never had ABT's. She did give me the hairy eyeball when I told what ABT stands for but I figured she had to try them. However, I was also going to experiment with an idea I've had of putting some pepper jelly in the jalapeno before the cheese mixture. I picked up four...- disco

French Onion Soup, My Way
Tonight I made one of may favourites, French Onion Soup. It was a little daunting as I was making it for the first time for my fiancé. These amounts are for 2 bowls of soup. I started by cutting a couple of small onions in half lengthwise and then in 1/4 inch slices lengthwise to make long...- disco

Potato Wedges
I was looking for a side dish for my Not Huli Huli Wings and The Woman of My Dreams expressed a desire for potato wedges. Who am I to argue? We are older so one large russet potato is lots. I cut it into 6 wedges lengthwise. I put some milk in a casserole and 75 ml/1/3 cup of flour with 1... -
Not Huli Huli Wings
I decided the sweet taste of Huli Huli chicken would be great on wings. However, I just wanted to crisp some wings in the Traeger and then toss them in a sweet Huli Huli sauce. True Huli Huli chicken is frequently turned and brushed over wood coals. These have the taste but not the technique. I... -
Disco isn't dead. Smoked Coppa
Many of you won't know me. I was active on the forums for a long time. Then my wife passed away after a long illness. I tried to get back in the saddle and get on with my life but it just didn't seem to happen until I met Sandy. We are engaged and life looks brighter. However, there are always... -
Basic Chicken Wings
I seem to have created a bit of a monster. A follower requested a very easy recipe for Basic Beef Ribs, Basic Brisket, and Basic Pellet Smoker Chicken for his new pellet smoker. I am getting requests for more basic recipes from other followers now. The request this time was for an easy Basic... -
Basic Beef Ribs
The same follower who requested a basic easy method of making brisket and chicken asked if I would do a post on Basic Ribs. Here it is! This is the method to make delicious beef ribs in the smoker that can be easily made by a beginning smoker. I will address the different kinds of ribs. Prime... -
OFG Potato Salad
It is about time I post my favourite potato salad. It isn't meat and it isn't smoked but it goes so well with smoked meat. I love old fashioned potato salad. That being said, it can use a touch more flavour and I’m not big on eggs. Here are my changes to make it the way I like it. You could...- disco

Orange Glazed Chicken Breasts
I have mentioned before that She Who Must Be Obeyed likes boneless skinless chicken breasts while I find them a difficult piece of meat to keep moist and tender. Well, orders were given so I went to work. One of the things you can do to keep the breast moist is to brine it. However, I don’t... -
KR's Smoked Peanuts
There is a great guy on Twitter, KR. He makes smoked peanuts which sounded so good. He was kind enough to share his method with me and I have modified it for my smokre and tastes. Thanks KR! I will give you the measurements I used but this is more of a process than a precise recipe. All bbq...- disco

Basic Pellet Smoker Chicken
One of my blog followers just got a pellet smoker. They have little cooking experience and asked me for a basic, no fuss recipe for cooking a whole chicken. I had an immediate problem. You can just put a whole chicken in a pellet smoker and get a decent result but you get a much superior result... -
Oven Fries
I’ve been doing oven fries for years. Deep frying is messy and bad for you. However, oven fries tend to have more of a baked potato type texture than the creamy interiors of French fries. French fries are usually made by putting potatoes in a deep fryer for a couple of minutes to blanch them... -
Easy Bourbon Chicken Breasts
One of the best things about pellet smokers is that it can be used to make easy, moist, boneless skinless chicken breasts. The circulating air allows for a great crust and cooking at high temperatures makes a cut of chicken that can be dry and rubbery moist with a great coating. I am busy... -
Hawaiian Hamburger Jerky
I don’t make a lot of ground meat jerky. It isn’t that it doesn’t taste great but it just doesn’t have the great chew of jerky from sliced meat. It is just softer and less chewy. However, I was asked how to make ground beef jerky and I haven’t made any for some time. So, here is how I make it...- disco
