Hosted a party last night, served
-roast Mexican corn
-smoked cheese platter
-smoked salmon platter
-salad
-coleslaw
-naan (homemade)
-tandoori chicken (this small batch was overcooked in the tandoor, but the bulk of it was cooked juicier in the XL and L. It was fun attending all three cookers at high temp concurrently)


-stored bought gelato cake


-ice cream
-fruit platter

-pulled pork


SWMBO made these that went well:
-pani puri aka Indian water balls (store bought balls) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panipuri


-curried potato


-the 5-week aged carpaccio, my daughter did the Ponzu sauce and garnish, http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/comment/1805160/#Comment_1805160 went real well with the sushi loving crowd and no one got sick:


-first attempt at sous vide brisket, 5.5lb brisket point, lightly seasoned with S+P, garlic powder and two heaped TB of duck fat.  Submerged at 137F for 55 hours, pat dry, rested in fridge for an hour, brushed with canola oil, more S+P and seared in Large with CI grid lowered by Spider. My daughter made the chimichurri sauce with fresh mint from the garden. It was melt-in-the-mouth but not mushy, far exceeded my expectation and everyone loved it!  Definitely on my repeat list.



Still recuperating, haven't cleaned up the skewers and meat slicer yet  :)

    WOW!!!! What a spread!!

    I've toyed with the idea of SV brisket, so this has been bookmarked. 

    Any homes for sale in your neighborhood, Gary? I want to be your neighbor please :)

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

  • wonder what you thought of the carpaccio.

    i think at 60 days or so i was getting a metallic tinge to it, but otherwise really beefy

    haven't had it in a long time.

    The carpaccio was great, the sauce compliments the beefiness well.  Can't compare it to anything though since I never had carpaccio before!

  • Gary you are amazing.  Next step will be your own TV show on the Food Network. You most certainly outdid yourself and set the bar very high for all those lucky enough to be invited.
