What Will You Be Egging During the Coronapocalypse?

@Botch thanks for the nudge. 

I usually get some congee when we go out for dim sum, but that hasn’t happened for a while, and likely won’t happen for a while longer. 

Threw it all in the instant pot, with some ham bits from Thanksgiving that I found in the freezer. Looking forward to breakfast this week

Made fried rice for lunch on the blackstone 

Cornholio

Another easy cook for me today since I was doing a lot of “chores” around the house.

Finally hung our TV in our room, a month shy of being here a year (we were waiting to get new furniture in all fairness but decided to just hang it using the general height of what we’ll end up getting). Vacuumed and steam mopped the entire house, including the garage. Rinsed the vacuum filters. 

Priorities:


Taking a break to grill some flank steak for tacos along with some squash:


Avocados courtesy of the tree in our backyard, Mexican rice made by my wife:

Prime tri tip oak smoked at 250F for an hour. SV for 7hrs at 131F. About 2 mins a side at 600F direct to finish it up. Used Oakridge Santa Maria.

His and hers burgers on the MM

Mixed minced garlic, garlic powder,  salt, pepper,  cayenne pepper, and love into the beef.

That looks great @DoubleEgger

Looks like you got back up on that SV horse.

Challenging little prime from Costco:  (trimmed 2 1/2 lbs from a sightly less than 10 lb brisket).  Friggin thing wouldn't release for quite a while but turned out quite tasty.

One of the smallest I have cooked in a few years.

At the altar and lookin' good.

All sliced up and time to enjoy.  Thanks for lookin'.

You just never know. I get people in the shop all the time asking about various cook times and temps as if it is baking. It just isn’t. You can have a guideline, but that’s a ballpark thing. Nice board! 

Enjoy!

You guys all absolutely killed it today.

Just some BBQ marinated thighs from the butcher shop.

first time making bacon. Been wanting to do this for awhile now. Cured for 5
days, rinsed and smoked
with hickory chunks and a few cherry chips to 150 internal. Discovered I needed new gaskets, smoke leaking pretty good.

Went lighter tonight.  Roasted and stuffed eggplant.

I was several pages behind. A lot of good cooks to look at - but dang! - @Foghorn that meal takes the day.

I'm a big fan of eggplant. Just keep forgetting about other ways to cook it. Thanks for the reminder.

This was a keeper!

Today was the first  loooong  day for me and Ms. B.   I made pork-belly burnt ends just to amuse myself.  I took a small 2 hour nap and they were like rocks when I woke up    Oh well not my first epic fail.

Thanks @SciAggie.  FYI, my daughter is also an Aggie.

As a sign of the times we are living in, when I saw your sandwich all I could think of is: “I wonder where he got the bread”

Some pan seared them indirect Brussels sprouts and some tuna strips seared.

Decided we were due for a healthy meal after far too much debauchery.

Made use of my b-i-l’s homemade garlic powder, which is much more potent and delicious than the commercial variety.

Damn, i don't know how I missed this thread.  Too busy trolling stuff that was sunk three pages pack I guess.

Some fantastic looking cooks, I must say.  I mean about the food, the actual cooks, not so fantastic looking.

This might be heresy, but with short ribs, I'm looking for the most un-prime cut I can find.  Like from an emaciated cow.  I did some chili from the last batch I cooked and it was at least 40% fat - they were prime. I want to SV some lean short ribs, smoke the bejesus out of them and enjoy some less than 20% fat ribs that look like their medium or MR.  Help me jesus.

Some thin chops, beggars can't be choosers at the meat case these days. Threw a little John Henry's Peach and Pecan rub. Hot and fast.

Grilled Halibut Masala, Zucchini “bartha”, roasted potatoes with Indian spices. Delish! Loving my new grill grates too. Makes cooking fish so much easier and better. I think I’ll get a lot of use out of them. 

sumoconnell

Made some pork with Egret’s maple glaze. Cooked slow at 250 and a quick sear. 

Plate pic looks a bit sloppy - ah well

Careful Nola.  I’ve heard you can catch heart disease from emaciated cows.

 Stupendous! I can almost taste the halibut masala.
