    Very impressive, paratha from scratch too!
    <cough>
    The marinades were made from scratch, including roasting and grinding whole spices, the eggs were from dirty hippie chickens, and were broken on site, and the paratha required that we scratch the package open to put them on the tawa.

    I think making paratha from scratch on site would have killed us

    @Canugghead - I wish we had the skill to make paranthas from scratch! We cheated by using Kawan brand Malaysian "puff parantha". Flour tortillas wouldn't have been flaky, and as you know, kathi rolls gotta be a little greasy to be good :)

    And making the paranthas from scratch would have quite surely killed us. I'd still be face down in the creek right now.

    BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe. 

    Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

     ...It was 20stone's idea to make kathi rolls, and I'm glad we rolled (pun intended) with that plan. ...

     ok, this is where I mis-assumed that you guys even made the paratha from scratch  =)  guess I read too much into it  :)

    I got a note from Chris that Chris had went to the ED to see him. To me ED had a hell of a different meaning than ER being renamed. Hookups all on the wrong part of the body.

    Funny story!

    I have what they call a "mild heart condition" (a-fib, which hadn't occurred in 2.5 years), which popped up when I heard Mickey was not hosting Salado anymore.

    It normally takes rest, water and several hours to revert to normal, but this time the threat of a few joules of juice was all it took.  They were all set to zap me.  The doctor walked in, looked at the monitor, said (with a disappointed look on his face) "Perfect, sinus rhythm," turned around, and walked out.

    At that point, everyone leaves, except they still have me plugged into the crash cart (e.g., the car battery).  The call button had been moved away, and I was too wired up to move.  That was about as relaxing as putting out my pork induced blowtorch on Saturday night.  The picture was taken when they finally unplugged me.

    The funny thing about a-fib is that it's like hitting a TV to make the picture right (back in the day), once it was fixed, it's fixed.  Here I am skipping out of the ER, with @20stonespice a bit worn down by watching her hubby about to ride with Tesla.

    @Eggcelsior had it right.  Those pads were FUN to take off.  I told the nurse that she could take a couple of them home as pets.

    Next time - A little more sleep, a little less Smoky Mike

    They were going to use something different that the MJ Milk, but I converted before I got it.

    Blood thinners are a mixed blessing.  With my choice of fun, being able to clot is a good thing.

    @20stone They were probably going to give you midazolam. Amnesic benzos are fun, but you would never know.

    Looks like I missed another awesome Salado Fest. :( So disappointed, but I'm sure lil Duke wouldn't have been able to hang (only 3 months old now). I will try extra hard to make it next year.

    Caliking and 20stone were by far busier than most cooks.  I think it was the labor intensive dish.  I also have to give it to a couple of ladies, of which I forgot your names and I'm sorry, who in my mind had the best presentation with 2 items.  They served the pastrami, mustard, pickle and rye as well as the duck, brie, something else.  It was a winner for sure.
    Well, I've been called worse but that was Janell and I. :). 

    We we had some help from Lisa Jones (20stone's wife) so you may have seen the 2 ladies serving and that would have been a bonus for anyone. 
    That duck was simply amazing! You really nailed the flavor combination. One of the best bites at the fest - and that's saying something! And please thank Janell and Lisa for their hard work too, if they are not on the forum much. What beautiful, gracious ladies they are!

    And I do have to give a shout out to a fellow forum member Eric Boone (forgot his handle). He provided the venison backstraps that we made into the Pastrami. That was some of the best pastrami I've had and the venison made it what it was. Thanks E!  I'll try to post the recipe but there were a lot of moving parts on this one.

    Took a week to make. 3 days in the brine, a day to dry and cold smoke, and 2.5 days in the Sous Vide.
