    Pretty good ... trying gen 2.




    @Ozzie_Isaac word of warning, do not try to make egg rolls with these (or more specifically, with jelly beans).  Trust me on this.
    Love you bro!

    @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.
    It seems to much, but trick is to get skin blistered and black.  You also don't need to get 100% of the skin off.

    No. She has no idea how important that is when drinking bourbon. You must enlighten her.

    @tarheelmatt So far it's been a rainmaker with a little wind. Hoping the rain bands last a few days.

    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.
    Love the Pablano pepper and Rellenos are one of my favorites. Man I hate that was a one and done for you....but I get it.

    I told a bunch of kids over that everything is better on the egg.  They asked about candy.  So an experiment was in order :)

    They were better, but you had to be careful.  I popped one in right off the grill.  Bad idea.  It was like sticky napalm.

    My oldest son wanted to learn how to "egg" so last night he did it all from start to finish with my instruction. (Now he wants to buy a grill - might start him off with a weber kettle)

    FYI - he is posing with the Thermapen.  We did not probe the leg.  Thought i should point that out.  




    My second oldest wanted to make mashed potatoes.  He cut, boiled, and whipped.
