Meaningless Cooks (pics)

@Jeremiah‌ -- please try to stay on topic.
That brisket chilli is extremely meaningful.
This thread is for insignificant meaningless cooks.

Chicken breast with oak ridge game bird and chicken rub. Grilled corn. Green beans seasoned with homemade bacon on the clock.

@theyolksonyou --  Now that's more like it. Good job staying on topic!

You might want to season the entire piece of corn next time. Just start at one end and shake all teh way to the other. OH don't forget to rotate

@TigerTony‌ trying to layer the flavor

I should get bonus points for the fork!

@theyolksonyou you had potential to achieve significance because you included bacon, but the fork.  the horror, the horror.

What are you guys doing clogging up this thread with cooks that I'm envious of. This is a truly meaningless cook of brats in a beer bath. The sides were very underwhelming thus no plated pics.

After yesterday's post on the simple, peanut-sauce-chicken cook, I was taken to task for using tin foil on my baked potatoes. We've always wrapped them, 'cuz it gives a little bigger time window before they're screwed up.

Leftover chicken was planned for tonight and I was short a couple of baked potatoes ... hmmm ... could fire up the large egg for two baked potatoes ... yea that sounds like a great idea.  It'll surely make the top (bottom?) ten of "Meaningless Cooks (pics)."  So, I fired up the large, installed the plate setter - legs down to clean burn the up-leg side - added my half-size fire bricks in alignment with the plate setter legs, and placed a small diameter grate on the bricks.  Coated the potatoes with EVOO - no spices - and threw them on the top grate.  400 degrees dome temp for 55 minutes and they were done ... seemed a little silly to use a $116 back light Thermopen to check up on a 75 cent potato.

The potatoes were good ... light smoke on the skins.  The missus pealed her potatoes and I didn't, so we both ended up with what we liked.

So, just to prove it happened ... here's the tail end of the highly Meaningless Cook:

I'm sorry, I don't have pics.  My wife doesn't like me posting her dinner on the World Wide Web.
OK, so I know that means it didn't happen.

So I didn't marinade some beef spare ribs for 24 hours.
I didn't then pressure cook them for 22 minutes.
I didn't then sauce them with a spicy, yet sweet, Asian sauce and bake them in the oven for 30 minutes.
I also didn't make a mixture of garlic & ginger stir-fry oil, chili oil, & sesame oil to roll some asparagus in to bake alongside the beef ribs.
I didn't use an MSG free vegetable soup base, along with some ginger & garlic paste, and some Thai seasoning paste to make Top ramen soup (sans the MSG packet), oh, and I didn't add two sliced up stocks, white and green of some scallions to the soup.

No pics, so it didn't happen, the family and I just starved to death tonight.

I had planned on cooking the ribs on the Egg, but a birthday party my son went to wiped out 4+ hours of my day, and I realized, with no preservatives in my marinade, I didn't want to let the beef go another day before cooking and not wanting to wait the time for the Egg to cook the ribs (5-6 hours) I elected to go with the fast & furious approach of pressure cooking and then a quick sauce and oven-glazing heat to make the final product.

i was going to stir-fry the aspargus, but then i googled and found an oven roasted recipe, I kinda followed it, but still went with my own ideas for the oil and a little bit of seasoning.  this way, I could just toss the asparagus in one pan and the ribs in another into the oven at the same time eliminating a lot of work on my part. (My lazy streak rearing it's ugly head)

@Jeepster47‌ thanks for keeping us in track.

@Zmokin‌ sounds like a busy day of doing nothing.
