I chickened out on doing the shotgun shells for the game and did a Smoked Pecan Pie and a piece of salmon. Pie recipe is from the Webber site and the Salmon recipe is from Steven Raichlen’s cookbook. Both were done ahead of time and eliminated game day pressure, 😂.

So what did you cook and how did it turn out? As always pictures or well, you know…

bz9, I'll have a slice of pie and a chunk of salmon please !
 
I don't watch football anymore, but I'm going to make smoked italian sausage sammiches later today, and apiece of that pie would suit me right down to the ground!
 
Havent had pecan pie in years. I bet it will be good. The better 3/4 just made a pumpkin pie yesterday because our daughter wanted a pumpkin pie blizzard. I am smoking chicken wings and bacon wrapped shrimp for dinner today.
 
Smoked jerk wings will be on deck here.

I (we) decided not to worry about cooking times, rest period and all the details, as we had steaks on Saturday night prior. I literally cleaned out the frozen appetizer section at Walmart.
We exercised the air fryer all afternoon and evening, including, poppers, taquitos, cheese sticks,
egg rolls, pizza rolls, potato skins. Stayed full all night staging thru the day.
 
gave up watching football back when they were takin a knee. i didnt even realize game was last night. lol
 
No wrap ribs. Used the MES and only opened the door twice, way to cold to be screwing around outside. Spiced with Cosmos SPG and Dirty Bird.

Babyback Ribs, two ways: Regular, and Extra Chinese.

1. Rubbed with Meat Church Honey BBQ rub. Did those 2-2-1 on the Reqtec. They ended up too soft, probably should cut back on the foil part, or done without it altogether.

2. Coated with my Char Siu marinade, and let sit for 5 days in the fridge. I tried following a recipe from the Interweb. In the oven, 3 hours wrapped in foil at 275°, then basted and returned to the oven at 400° for about 30 minutes. These came out too soft also. Both were difficult to cut into singles, so I ended up making 2-rib pieces.

The Chinese ones were favored by my pub crowd by about 2-1, but I still got a lot of compliments for both.
 
Wife made a simple cheese dip in the crockpot and I threw a frozen pizza (Philly cheese steak) in the oven. Was going to do fresh fried fish but was tired if standing after walking on the ice most of the afternoon

Never had perch, but crappie and bream(bluegill) are as good as it gets...
 
I reheated some Smoked Queso with Chorizo, also to take the game time pressure off myself. I also thawed out some Pulled pork and made 24 sliders. We hosted and had over 30 people so there was plenty to do without having to tend to the stick burner. We also ordered 100 wings, made 4lbs of meatballs and a couple other dips. Plus people brought their dishes so everyone was well fed. Queso was gone first.

Lots of people say perch and walleye are some of the best, up here at least. I haven't had a freshwater fish, especially through the ice, that don't like. Northern Pike and LM Bass through the ice is very good in my opinion but it is hard to beat a good sized bluegill (which are getting harder to find). Then again I don't consider myself overly picky and try to appreciate things for their particular taste or texture qualities. Besides if we are honest with ourselves with breaded or battered fish a lot of the flavor is what we are adding to it no different than most of our other cooking, how many people cook (not smoke) pork ribs with nothing but maybe a little salt.
 
Good looking pie, though not up my alley.

I went and got a Jets pizza. I'm not a pizza person but this is my second try with Jets and both times it's been great. Really reminds me of 1980's - 1990's Pizza Hut pan. I did double pepperoni and sausage with extra cheese. Took me straight back to 1989 hanging out at the Hut playing video games with a community pizza at the back booth where we'd all smoke and bust balls in between video games.
 
We had a freezer anomaly so we used tons of phyllo to create our snacks. Smoked salmon puffs, pepperoni sausage and cheese pizza puffs, burek and there was one puff pastry so I made baked Brie with cranberry preserves. 3 slabs of ribs with a copycat hot honey rub. There’s a few days worth of leftovers.
