What's Cooking?

So tonight I put together a mushroom risotto with a smoked bratwurst. Life is good.

   Bierocks rock!

     Working out of my new cookbook and an older one I spied the Bierock. Remembered Ness and a couple others speaking of them. My new book deals with small game and the other all game. I liked the dough and the innards of the new book but did not want to use small game so I chose ground venison that was in the older book. So the Mrs. made the dough as I did the assist. Let it rise an hour and punch it down, another hour punch it down and begin to split  into eight  and roll it out. During all this we worked up the other stuff that would be mixed with the venison. Herbs, spices, shredded cabbage, sauerkraut, onion, mustard, malt vinegar and beer.  Making the dough round flats to be stuffed,

All filled, egg wash and topping of poppy and caraway seeds,   Popped into oven for 30 minutes,

Then out for a short cool off, Then the peek inside,  

  Can you believe we ate two apiece? Actually easy to make. Says they are good cold and I bet so. Freezes well too. I am thinking two will be going to the turkey blind in the rainy morning tomorrow when I try to call the Mrs. a bird in,

Dr. Appointment today so I got to go to the big city.  Picked up a rotisserie chicken, some parsnips and carrots and amish potato salad.  Nothing home made unless you want to count the whop biscuits I am making to go with it.  I mean I did open the can myself.  AND we did consume my tiny supply of 6 morels last night, so now I have no morels/morals.

Those store bought rotisserie chickens are  amazing! I can eat a whole one lickity split!

I'm still messing around. I smoked some eggs and sausages the other day. I put them in a jalapeño brine to age. WOW!!

Dang Chief, I would eat myself to death.

Asparagus and gouda omelets.  First asparagus of the season.  Just blanched for about a minute and then cold water to keep it crisp.  Not bad if I do say so myself.

My early morning task was not eggs. I put together a spicy but not hot chili.

Two pounds seared ground chuck, two pounds seared chopped stew meat (about 1/4 inch size), one large can Cento crushed tomatoes, one bottle Founders porter, a mug of black coffee, two sautéed  diced onions, 5 large cloves garlic, one dried Ancho chile (seeded, soaked, and pureed), 1 Tablespoon dutched cocoa,  1 cup unsalted beef broth, lots of Penzy's chili powder and cumin - about a palmful each, salt and pepper.

All of that will simmer in the crock pot until this evening. Then I will freeze it. Thursday night I will take it out to thaw and reheat it Friday to serve at a school potluck.

Good looking chili rps.  My wife is going make home made lasagna this afternoon for supper at friends house.  Not sure what else will be there except there a couple big bunches of romaine hearts, so I am expecting to see them charred on the grill.

No, but it sounds really good.
