All of you need to appreciate something. The attached picture is mine. I took it to show off pot roast. It was the second picture posted on this thread. Compare the quality of the photo to the last ten pages. Presentation and photography on the thread is now amazing. Good on all of you!

Hopefully will remember to get a photo.  Tonight actual food, although let's be honest I will probably have some ice cream and cherry pie filling later.  Tonight I had a couple of smoked pork hocks which I cooked in crock while I was otherwise occupied.  Removed the bones and chopped up the meat and hide and dumped back into the crock pot juices (mostly chicken and beef stock.  Then a double handful of baby taters a couple cans of Hoppin John, a can of tomatoes and okra, and a can of sweet potatoes hey why not.ots of garlic heavy seasoning knowing the taters are gonna suck up a lot of the salt but that is easily added back when serving.  And since it was a bit soupy some corn starch to thicken it slightly.  Smell good and here in a bit when the little taters are done will see how it tastes.  This a lot form just me but I have a few more days to have to eat so I may be done cooking until Sunday when 4 chickens cut into quarters make the jump to the smoker for Sunday Supper with friends.

Looks eh so so, taste very good, texture a bit odd as the skins didn't cook down and get all soft like I wanted.  Edibility darn it was hot out of the pot.  Had time to do stuff before it. Cooled enough to eat.

I always try to use natural light whenever possible, hence the deck pics. Photography is about the light!

Natural Light is OK but I prefer Busch Light.  Somebody had to be the first to say it.

Tis the season for zucchini!

   Zucchini boats and zucchini blueberry zucchini bread. Both done outside in the trager pellet grill. Too darned hot to fire up the oven inside. IMG_20240715_131650757.jpgIMG_20240715_152801179_HDR.jpgIMG_20240715_152731731_HDR.jpgIMG_20240715_151044149_HDR.jpgIMG_20240715_123919141.jpg

We did a Mediterranean food themed cooking class with my daughter and future son in law over the weekend. We’ve done several of these and they’re always fun. We did hummus, tzatziki, kafta kabobs, dolmathes and a Greek salad.

The dolamthes were onion, rice and some seasonings. Not that great, honestly. The ones we make at home are a meat and rice combo and much better.  

We’ve never made hummus before but will in the future. It was delicious.

Kabobs were overcooked (by them) but would have been good otherwise.
