OT - What are you doing right now?

DMW

Just finished an all day project cleaning up my rescued fryer.
still needs some more work, but at least the inside is clean and the burner works. Going to make egg rolls tonight.

Acn

Just lit the egg for dinner, wrapping up a long day  of running errands and working in the kitchen - we got a big batch of spaghetti sauce made, some for later in the week and 3 big containers for the deep freeze, a batch of lentil soup for lunches this week, and several batches of pepper vinegar that will be going to family for Xmas.

Waiting on some hind quarters, listening to Eric Hutchinson @ Pandora, sipping some Woodford and enjoying a CAO Italia.

Yes sir spalted red maple. Next gonna go with spalted sycamore for a large veggie board and should be set after that.

Did the same thing a couple nights ago to my Boos. Something was spilled on the counter and no one noticed it before absorbing into bottom of the block. So I took some 100-150-220 grit to it. Reapplied with Howards butcher block conditioner. 4 different coats to the bottom and a couple coats on the sides/top

New toy for the small. With the KAB and the Home Depot vacuum the small egg will see a lot more action with easier clean outs. Would have bought the small KAB before my large if it was available at the time. Game changer for me and the small!

Agreed; the Small's intake port is just a bit too small to clean out as easily as you can a Large.

That IPA is good stuff.

getting the egg cleaned and ready for a brisket cook early tomorrow am. Going to be yawning tomorrow for sure

DMW

Everyone is gone, made about 40 or so egg rolls and a big batch of fried rice.


Last set of egg rolls in. If we had planned ahead and had the egg rolls built earlier, I could have fried 20 at a time in this thing.

4.5 gallons of fry oil is great. Zero recovery time from dropping food in. The baskets are in a garbage bag with oven cleaner. That will make things way easy instead of using a skimmer and tongs to load and unload. While cleaning it up, I discovered it was a King Kooker. Having this in my collection could be very bad for my waist line...

About to cook some crap. Thinking about trying the pork shoulder in the 22.5" weber and gonna do the chuckies in the backwoods for pepper beef. Got my PJs on for the day and about to crack a beer. Gonna be a good Sunday.

Lit

Think this is what they refer to as the snake method. Gonna give it a shot.

Looking good so far

Doing a slow hammered roll-been enjoying the flavor and effects of C2H5OH since around 9 AM (EST)-did fire off some stuffed chix thighs and will wrestle with a paella cook in a couple of hours.  Surfacing in around an hour to Skype with my son in Spain and then the paella cook and who knows after...Monday could be a challenge...But what is life wtihout a challenge or two...

Man we are ghetto

@Lit I'll see your ghetto and raise you one

Starting tonight's veggie side:

Lit

Pepper beef is off and pulled a added some blues hog original and red and threw a split of hickory on to finish it. Still got a shoulder to finish.

Trying to figure out how to use our stove. It's been a while. Damn the rain.

@SGH it's one of the old Simpsons kettles that weber put out for the 10th anniversary.

Awesome just the same. I asked because Weber did a run of colored kettles back in the 70's. They are some what collectors items now. It would be cool to have one of the old originals.

You can tell the new ones by the fancy new ash management basket on the bottom. The oldies have the plain ole ash pan and plain wheels.
