    Beef Onion Smash Sliders

    I was playing around with my new food processor and shredded up an onion earlier and was hungry for some sliders. I took a little 73% beef and rounded them into balls and added a little SPG on them. I placed some butter into a pan and when warmed up I placed two of them into it then piled on...

    Sunday Evening T-Bone and Stuff

    Normally I would not bother to make a post on just another T-bone. Everyone loves them and cooked over wood is the best. Earlier tonight I cooked one up and after watching A video of Guga foods making some frys like I have never tried. I had to do it. I fired up the pit and placed on a very...

    Holey Mole Enchiladas

    Mole! Mole! Mole! It's kind of a pain but worth it in the end. I started with three large chicken breast placed in the smoker with Kinder's Garlic and Herb with my own blend of pepper powder. On the top rack were various hot and mild chilies along with tomatoes and tomatillos. The...

    Puppy Snacks - Our best friends need love too

    We have two dogs, a five year old Golden Retriever and a seven month old Cocker Spaniel. Both have allergies to cheap food products or they are smarter than us humans and just want quality foods. Either way quality dog treats are pretty expensive and I have a new food dehydrator that I need to...

    Yo Momma's Hassleback Chicken Breast

    With all the delicious pictures floating around here of the Hassleback Chicken Breasts from @DougE and @SmokinEdge I thought I would give it a go. These breasts were so large :emoji_grimacing: I had to put them in the oven a while to partially cook. Then I added mozzarella with beef and lamb...

    Cool view of SpaceX takeoff from Vandenburg, CA

    We were watching the launch of SpaceX from our front yard and the vapor trail from takeoff made a shadow that went across the evening sky.

    Chili Time - and a reorder Carol Shelby's Texas Chili Mix

    Thanks to this site I learned about Carol Shelby's Texas Chili mix a long time ago. I ordered a bulk pack of it and have enjoyed the best chili I could possibly taste for a while now. Tonight I made a large batch of chili and when I went into the cupboard for the mix I realized it was my last...

    Another Chicken Parm

    After @chopsaw posted his Chicken Parm I had to make some myself. I did do it slightly different. These were very large chicken breasts and I did not have a mallet so I did a trick I saw on one of those cooking shows. I placed a sheet of wax paper on the chicken and used a pan to pound the...

    Fajita Tri-Tip and Yellow tail on the Pit

    I picked up a nice grass fed Tri-tip and before it was fired up I was getting out the normal seasoning and the Fajita seasoning was staring me down. I thought why not give it a try. I mixed it with a little bit of Prime Rib rub I had left over. After an hour marinade I put it on the pit along...

    Building a 3D printer with my 3D printer

    I have had more than a few 3D printers over the years but I usually buy cheap ones then regret it later. One of my favorite cheap printers was an ANET A8 plus which gave me a pretty large printing surface to print larger objects but It was like a Harley and I was always having to tinker with it...

    A chicken idea

    Last night as I finished off a jar of Sweet and Spicy dry roasted peanuts which are my current favorite I got to the bottom and noticed an unusual amount of dust at the bottom. I thought that might make a great seasoning for the chicken thighs I just bought. Then this morning I was up early...

    Enabler Thread - Kitchen Gadgets

    I had never heard of a Potato Ricer before last week but once I saw one I had to give it a try. You will never have egg salad a fluffy as this. I used the small insert and once hard boiled and peeled they easily squeeze thru this tool. So nice. I always mashed potatoes with a hand...

    I smoked a Tri-tip like a prime rib

    I recently smoked a Picanha like a prime rib and it came out pretty damn good. So good that I only enjoyed part of it before the rest was given away after our Christmas party. I was going to grab another one and do it again but when I went to buy one they had tri-tips sitting next to them at...

    I smoked a Picanha like a Prime Rib Roast

    I picked up a 2.4 Lb Picanha to throw on the pit but changed my mind and decided to smoke it like a Prime Rib Roast. I had the mix sitting in the cabinet. After most of the fat cap was removed it was covered in olive oil then the mix and left to sit open in the fridge overnight. I placed it...

    Gumbo?

    First off I have never had gumbo. Even when I was in New Orleans I did not try it but was always interested. A few days ago my favorite YouTube brits Jolly visited New Orleans and among other things they had gumbo and loved it. I decided I had to give it a try. I watched 10 different gumbo...

    Salsa, Steak and burgers.

    It has been a very long time since I have cooked up a T-bone steak. The prices here have been pretty crazy for the last four years or more. I was at our local Vallarta market and they had one calling out my name at $8.06/Lb. That is less than half what I have seen in a long long time so I had to...

    New cutie in the house.

    My wife's 50th is less than 3 weeks away and I have been looking for months. Around here stores cannot sell dogs and home breeding is illegal in LA county. That said most breeds are hard to find. Our pounds only have chihuahuas and pit bulls. My wife has wanted another Cocker Spaniel since we...

    Hassleback potatoes and macaroni salad.

    I needed a meat break so I decided to make some Hassleback potatoes tonight. OK they were bacon topped so it wasn't completely meat free. I was thinking of what to go with it and I haven't made my macaroni salad in a while so yes. I made more than enough to last a few days for the wife and I...

    Fermenting Olives

    My little olive tree is about 5 years old now and was loaded with olives for the first time. I decided to pick them today and see if I can ferment them into something edible. It looks like this will be a long process. It will start with 4 days of soaking in RO water changing it daily before...

    Fajita Fight!

    I made another post last month where I made my own Fajita mix. I was shopping a few days ago and saw that Kinder's now makes a fajita mix. Kinder's makes great mixes. I thought why not try them against each other and see which one I like best. I bought 2 Lb of flap meat for this. I marinated...
