OT - What are you doing right now?

Waiting out the weather. 5 hrs of delay so far. 

Focker

Since we're on kids...
So we were at a yard sale the other day.  8 yr old had to have a creepy clown for $1.  Didn't argue.  Put it on the couch, stayed there until he packed it up for the ride home.  

Got a text yesterday from the Ex.  The wheels were spinnin for this Child's Play.  Ex got the sh!t scared out of her on the way to empty out the chamber.

Even named him Frank. Hahahahahahaha
Chip off the ol' blob for sure.

Worth every single penny.

Sitting on a small CRJ...next to a man that must eat much more BBQ than I do.  Damn window seats.

Hopefully he's not chewing down a 26-lb bag of Corn Nuts, with his mouth open*.
 
 
 
 
*True Story.  To this day I can't even look at a bag of corn nuts.

Thankfully a short flight.  No corn nuts @Botch but he had no problem doing the sleep, spread and lean.  I need a chiropractor.

Wok'd Pad woon sen. One of our favorites at our favorite Thai place. Turned out pretty good. Not on the egg.

Decided to try my had at chili rellenos. Considered doing it on the egg, but there was a severe thunderstorm warning. Never did get severe thunderstorms, but it did rain pretty decent and I would have been soaked and there would have been rain in the oil.

Used this recipe:
http://www.chowhound.com/recipes/chiles-rellenos-29565

Roasted the peppers over the gas burners on the stove. Roasting and peeling 4 pablano and 4 anaheim peppers took forever. Here there are stuffed with Monterrey Jack cheese.


Here's the first one frying. I used beef tallow I rendered from fat I trimmed from short ribs a few weeks ago.


There wasn't enough oil, and I got it too hot. I didn't have any more tallow, so I added Canola oil to cool it down and fill it more.

Here they are.


Here's my first plate.


This was my first time doing these, and probably my last. They were good, but man that's a lot of work. Next time I want some, we'll just go out to eat.

They look awesome, but I also completely understand. Did you sweat them after charring in a bowl with film? That will help with skin removal

DMW

@Jstroke - Thanks, yes I did sweat them. I don't think I did a very good job roasting them. I've roasted them before on the egg, and they peeled much easier. Maybe I'll give it a try again.

Gonna have to flag you for off topic. That should be in the seafood section.

@dmw those look damn fine
@DoubleEgger I got one of those and haven't broken it out yet.  Looks like a lot of fun.... Wonder what it will feel like when my kids hit each other with it.

Got out my old 55mm 3.5 manual focus lens today.  Wished I would have had my extender for these, but they still came out okay.

You need a bug a salt for that shoot!

@dmw did you sweat off the skins?  Roast till black, then put in a ziploc bag for 5 minutes.  Take a knife and scrap the skin off.  Super quick and easy.

Yeah, I think my problem was I didn't roast them enough.
