Keema (masala-spiced ground beef):
 

 
Ground beef is sautèed with lots of red onion, garlic, ginger, tomato, Anaheim chile, yogurt, cilantro and a huge amount of Kashmiri Garam Masala.  
Got this out of Cooks Illustrated.  Very spicy and tasty.  Tomorrow I'll dice and cook up a potato and add it, which makes Keema Aloo.  

Looks good!

There's no wrong way to make keema. My version gets cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, and some other stuff. And peas for the veg. I'll sometimes add spinach, to change things up a bit. 

ive only had it with beef and peas, friends mom made it. not sure which part of india but dad did not cook, mom did not eat or sit at the table but served from the stove.  didnt know Hari's first name for maybe 5 years, it was Krishna. full culture shock

It’s about 60 degrees out this evening, and someone was craving brinner.  Fired up the Blackstone to make eggs, spuds, French toast and bacon (SRF).   I honestly have no idea how we lived with out a griddle...feels almost like we were uncivilized.   Anyways a few photos of tonight’s glutinous feast

@ryantt, well played sir...well played

I’m hoping it was more gluttonous than it was glutinous.

@GrateEggspectations Yep...didn’t realize I typed  glutinous... wasn’t sticky at all lol

Saluki not only subliminally prompted these ribs in the ncaa thread but also the meat church honey hog. Went mild instead and it was my favorite with my favorite mustard sauce. Three pack three ways, see the rub / sauce pairs in the pic. Car Wash Mike method! RIP Mike.  The sauced time needs to stick to the 30 min or it can burn the mustard sauce. 

If I may...  Hang in there everybody let’s cook and make small positive increments for ourselves and others until we get out of all these messes.  Being nice is free and we own the moments we are in. We can choose to create better nows and laters no matter what anyone else is doing.

@Canugghead how did you know I’ve been thinking about char siu bao for about the past week ?? Those bao look terrific!

Herb encrusted rack of lamb. SV, finished in the big kitchen clock. 

Not pictured - blistered haricots verts with tomato almond pesto, and wild rice pilaf. Spiced honey cake for dessert, per caliprince’s request. 

Anniversary dinner. Don’t quite know how she’s put up with me for this long.

I blame the lamb chops.

@caliking Happy anniversary. I wish you many more happy years together. Make your life easier; put the slicer wherever she suggests.

What'd you think of the lamb prepared this way? Looks amazing. I tried a similar recipe from Thomas Keller and for some reason didn't enjoy it as much as I thought it would. The breadcrumbs threw me off.

Super simple last night, grilled sausage and asparagus with some beans.

Great minds think alike...fools seldom differ 

Congrats on your anniversary, that lamb pic should be a centerfold of food porn magazine.

It was damn near perfect. I usually sub panko for anything that calls for a breadcrumbs topping. Not a fan of breadcrumbs, as such. Crushed Ritz crackers even beat them out

I may try SV x90mins next time, but otherwise, there isn't much I would change about it.

I think your better half has a great sense of humor and that goes a long way.

Happy Anniversary to you both!

Thanks @gmanrva, @Canugghead.

@JohnInCarolina that is true. If it weren't for her sense of humor, I would've been served with divorce papers after the first time I bought 400lbs of charcoal.
