What Are You Chef-ing Tonight, Dr?
I think it's going to be leftovers for us; and I feel the urge to bake some professional cookies using a recipe derived from the scientific method. Posted by (I'd have to look) on my cookie thread. Tasty Beverage: Dr Pepper

Mango Chutney
Saw a case of mangoes for an unbeatable price (about 20 for $8.99 CAD) so picked some up. Decided mango chutney would pair nicely with some Christmas offerings, including tourtière. Recipe loosely based on this. (Edit: The guy who delivers our Christmas tree has like an 18 year old sister who’s rocking a garlic farm. Her…

Thoughts on APL Scruffing Technique
What are your thoughts on Adam Perry Lang's scruffing technique or just APL in general? I thought the general attitude was flip meat once. I seldom do the basting or resting he suggests, but do flip the way he suggests. I assume it's about keeping the surface temp down so you get a more even temp through the entire cut…

One Pan Chicken Thigh Dinner
Bought some bone-in chicken thighs, so tried to hunt down a recipe. Found this one on YouTube that looked pretty complete. https://youtu.be/7j7S2nJ_FyI?si=0LQApX0sc--5_KYQ Started by “staging” the meal for easy cooking. Dried and seasoned the thighs, chopped the veg and arranged everything in batches, then reduced the…

Replacing the gasket
In the midst of refurbishing my XL. Do I need to put gaskets on top and bottom? Or will the bottom suffice? I got all the hardware on. Lost no fingers and herniated nothing. Figure the top gasket may be where my luck ends. Been a few years since I posted. Hope you are all well.

To grate or not to grate
Hate to admit this… the cast iron grate had rusted to the the Kick Ash basket. Ordered a new basket. Do I need a new grate? Would I be ok with the rusty grate? Or do I go with the basket alone?

OT: TIDE ROLLED?
I did not have Alabama losing to… Vanderbilt, on my bingo card for the weekend. You hate to see it.

OT - For Car Lovers: Some Recent Exotic Spottings
Have come across quite a few exotics/fun cars as of late - many of which I had previously only seen on paper/monitors. I have always loved cars but have never owned anything too extravagant. A 2011 5.0 was my wildest buy to date, and I suspect the future holds only family-appropriate vehicles, so the sun may have set on…

Friday night and the EggHead Forum option of the forum choices is eerie quiet- I need to get a life!
The title says it all. Chasing the end of the not so endless summer comes to mind. Guilty here as no BGE cook rolling tonight and playing with live fire Saturday. Surely Friday night shenanigans are on the horizon. Edit for fat finger correction.

Worth the price difference, especially when…

Thanksgiving Turkey Cook Time
I have had the experience now for about three years in a row that my Thanksgiving turkey always finishes way ahead of what all the various references predict. I pretty much follow the "Mad Max" method with a few minor variations. Here are the key points from this years setup: * 20.39 lb turkey injected with 50/50…

nothing special, just dinner
Shepherds pie and while the fire was on, roasted a butternut for future soup (although some of the neck was sliced up for dinner as well). did both for about an hour at 375F and then removed the assembly and put the butternut face down on the SS grill for some charring. could have left in on for a bit more, but it was…

Return of FaceDance - Thanksgiving 2025
Repeat of last year… two 3+ pound skin-on boneless turkey breasts wrapped in a warm subtle bacon blanket. Barely any leftovers… just enough for one sammich.
