Neighbor sort of roped me into helping him cook for an event he was organizing.

I did about 50 chix of chicken tikka.

And helped him throw down 2 YUGE pots of goat biryani. About 80lbs of goat in the 2 pots.

The biryani was the best I've had in years. The dude is a master. This was the more difficult type of biryani (kachchi biryani), which involves cooking the raw meat and rice together in the same pot. Its harder to nail, than the type where you layer cooked meat and rice in the same pot. 

A couple of pics from the host's ranch. The cattle and chix were imported from Bangladesh. 

Awesome @caliking

@caliking that so awesome. I need somebody to teach me how to cook that.

Making up for the life after wisdom teeth removal? I'm still in week 1 and currently having a YOP for lunch. I can not wait to be able to eat what you are having

sense of taste is way off, the chlorhexidine treatment before and after. the onion ring sauce is extra spicy and so is the kraut to compensate. hope they gave you something else, would rather it have been hydrogen peroxide for the mouth wash.

@Canugghead - great looking spread right there.  All are gonna be eating quite well.  Hope you have enough ribs...

Canugghead

@lousubcap, thanks, not shown in pic was a sauceless less bark third rack for the kiddos.

If you’re looking to adopt, I’d love to become one of your family members. That MSM looks spectacular.

Canugghead

@GrateEggspectations
Thanks. Hate to tell you you're past the best before age for that, perhaps my kid can adopt one of your kids? 
btw, the tarts were from Ottawa based Farm Boys chain, pretty decent, not as eggy as the ones from authentic Portuguese bakeries.

Nothing but salt water. Got the usual pain killers, antibiotics, and anti inflammatories too. Jaw won't open enough for a fork yet. Blended soups and drinks for a bit yet. Fun times

Small bone fragments now on the easy one. No pain but sharp pieces popping thru.not a biggie. Hoping gin dissolves them

It’s a cliche, but tacos:

Dyal_SC

Power bowl for lunch with arugula, baby Bella shrooms, grated beet, grated radish, shredded carrots, chia seeds, turmeric and a healthy apple cider vinegarette. Kept it raw. 

Then for dinner, made my wife and boys a lasagna. 

I ended up eating organic oats with flax seed, chia seed, turmeric, and two scrambled eggs on top (not pictured). Feeling a bit under the weather, so trying to clean my chitlins’ out. It was surprisingly good though. Turmeric is becoming one of my favorite spices. Even sipped on a turmeric herbal tea afterwards.

@Dyal_SC

I’m a big turmeric fan too. Just watch those counters. 🙃

Very colorful plates. 

After following this thread, like forever, and seeing all those awesome cooks, I have come to conclusion I must be 88% carnivore, 2% herbivor and 10% alcoholic.

Carry on

I would say I’m 80% carnivore, 10% herbivore and 25% alcoholic.

Can’t wait to get my new Gozney Dome pizza oven because my Bluestar oven just doesn’t put out enough heat!

Love these new sheet pans I picked up at Walmart.  They're sized in-between a half-sheet and full-sheet, so they can accommodate a lot more food than a typical sheet pan yet still fit into a regular sized oven.  I was able to fit 8 fairly large chicken quarters with room to spare.

I got some of those a few months ago @SonVolt and they make all my half sheet pans look woefully inadequate. I love them!!

Are you using the Broiler + Baking Steel method? It's a game changer.   

This was baked in my old GE Profile and it was nowhere near as hot as my Bluestar. 

Thatgrimguy

That pizza is gorgeous!!

My old GE Profile got way hotter than my bluestar. My bluestar is a 500degree oven and doesn't go much over. I could get my GE up to 570+.

I've tried the broiler method but my broiler is crazy strong and I couldn't find a balance that I liked.  I'll have a Gozney dome here this weekend though. Should fix it right up. I also love toys.

SonVolt

Gotcha. Yeah I haven't tried pizza in the Bluestar yet b/c I have the Fontana out back now. The broiler on the Bluestar has one setting - Annihilation. I would definitely have to create more space between the Steel & the Broiler if I go that route.

I love that broiler. But it is no joke!

I have all three sizes, this ‘3/4’ sheet is my go to for holding 11x17 cutting board when doing heavy duty protein processing, minimum mess on the countertop.
