Lots of awesome in those pics @Foghorn. Need a love button. Likes don’t do this proper justice.

I can’t stop laughing at the “Come at me Bro” look on her face while wielding the knife.

Yeah. We had a good crew. She is the daughter of a colleague and is in a wheelchair and she really likes to be able to contribute - so is was a great day on a lot of levels.

The nod to @Canugghead was because I was running the pizza oven he forced me to buy. Lol.

@Campbell2N

Thank you. That table is was something that I bought in a sad state off Kijiji many years back. I painstakingly sanded it and applied a new stain. Although very big, it’s proven helpful, as I can use it as a buffet or to hold some coolers when hosting. Got a nice table cover that fits perfectly too.

Pizzas from scratch were on the menu. We were short on time, so picked a recipe with a very quick rise. Hit the spot, but I need to keep working on my pizza game!

Very nice. Pesto on the first one.
Looks delicious

Spent the day skiing with the family and am now smoking two racks of pork ribs on the MM for dinner. There’s something great about smoking in the snow. Used some SPG dry rub and made the glaze from this wing recipe (which I love!) for saucing later. Should be garlirrific, as I was ridiculously heavy-handed. https://www.theendlessmeal.com/sweet-and-sticky-honey-garlic-chicken-wings/

A little APL Charred and Scruffed Habanero Syrup basted double bone cut pork chops. Power went out mid cook just as I was about to put the sides on, so pork chops it was.

Not cheffing, but they should be done tonight

TechsasJim · January 14

Straight forward 8.5# butt. Wanted to do something with plenty of leftovers since TX is about to go into another lovely deep freeze (those of y'all that suffer through these routinely, bless your hearts)

MasterC · January 14

Great choice for leftovers, did the same.
Ade a dozen pulled pork nachos, sorry only eleven made it to the table

I don't see my picture above. It's boiled peanuts for those dying to know.

@GrateEggspectations
nice pies, curious how the geek chef performs in gusty winds? my pizza oven doesn't do well when it's super windy.

Funny you should ask. Very high winds here last night. Propane tank #1 was half full, but wouldn’t ignite the burners. Even when I got in there with a torch, nothing would light. Maybe a blocked hose? Swapped out to my full #2 propane tank and all was well. Once lit, there was no wavering whatsoever.

Just waiting on my ribs to cook from the comfort of the “music room”.

@GrateEggspectations Nice view/setup in and out you got there. Problem with my oven is the flame goes out if it's very windy and I turn down the heat. Re tank#1, did you open the valve fast by any chance? doing so could trigger the safety mechanism that restricts gas flow.

Thanks. I only cook in the front when there’s snow in the forecast, as it’s covered whereas the other Eggs aren’t.

A good thought. Honestly, I don’t know if my tank is equipped with such a mechanism. I opened and closed it probably a dozen time while troubleshooting (often slowly), and it simply wouldn’t ignite.

GrateEggspectations · January 14

Wife’s mac-n-cheese. The garlic panko would make even @caliking weak in the knees.

Canugghead · January 14

I believe the mandatory safety mechanism (flow limiter) is built into the tank valve/regulator.

Continuing the cold a** weather meals, beef carbonnade over mashed reds and egg noodles with roasted carrots and asparagus topped with lemon. So delicious

GrateEggspectations · January 14

@Wooderson

Looks great. Carbonnade is underrated. Here’s my go-to: https://www.ricardocuisine.com/en/recipes/6229-carbonade-flamande-stew

This is a kid who means business. Lovely pics of the weekend so far. Keep 'em coming!

Very similar to what I followed. I used America's test kitchen version. Your recipe may need to be tried

My caulking skills are much better than my cake decorating, baby girl’s birthday tomorrow. Talked her through making French toast and berry compote for dinner this evening. No pictures, but she got full props from her little brother that she would beat Bobby Flay. I’m working on her skills so she can help cook more when the babies show up. Cake was a box mix, homemade frosting.
