I realize that this isn't completely authentic, but it sure is good!

I even did Bordello's trick of throwing some onion slices onto the coals to fire up their sense of smell even more :evil:

    Oy...I haven't opened it yet. I just didn't think that it'd go well with the Indian fare on Sunday. Maybe tonight?

    You have got to try the onion trick. Awesome! It smells like Heaven :laugh:

    Looking real good there Cory, I love cooking in my DO. You can do so many different types of cooks in it. Now what I do with my favorite neighbor instead of putting on onion slices on the coals I put rotten onions when done cooking and go inside. Like the old saying pay back can be a _itch. :laugh:
