What's Cooking?

[Terrierman]

I have two whole pork shoulders and a beef arm roast rubbed and in the fridge to put on the egg tomorrow.  There's the makings for a killer pasta salad in the house and Lovey is going to make a pineapple angel food cake - all for a Friday noon big feed at work.  If I have time, I may grace you all with a photo or two as the process procedes.  Keep your fingers crossed for success.  This whole cooking thing makes me very nervous.

Sounds DELICIOUS Terrierman.  I can almost smell it cooking.  I used to worry about how something I cooked would turn out at big offices lunches etc.  but nobody has ever complained even when it didn't quite go as planned.  If they complain they inherit the cooking duties!  One year I set up my smoker, had it loaded with LOTS of stuff, a co-worker and I took the next day off, and sat there near the office from about midnight on, drinking beer, listening to the radio, snoozing and checking on the smoker.  By lunch I don't remember much except that leftovers were not a problem.

   Still some cooking going on here in BilletHeadville,

Picked some figs off of our fig bush. I say bush because in this climate it freezes back all the way to the ground sometimes. There have been years the shoots survive in mild winters. This past winter it did and I have a bunch of figs. So we bacon wrapped some deer loin. Grilled that and the figs. As far as the figs we sliced them, put the sliced sides down for a short grill. Then turned them over, skin side down. Made a little cup of sorts. The innards would start to bubble and boil. Paired the steak and figs with a baked tater topped with sour cream and chives from the garden. I bet those figs would be good on some vanilla ice cream. Only lost four or so between the grates of the grill. Next time I will use a double sided basket for them,

  Next thing we tried is some jalapeno corn fritters. Yowzer very nice. Topped them off with some sour cream with cilantro and lime wedges on the side, another keeper.

  Lastly when we were in Springfield Tuesday Hi-Vee had Hatch chili peppers for a 1.99 a pound. Mild or hot. We choose the hot ones. Blistered them on the grill and then put them in a paper sack to steam,

 When cool I peeled of the charred skin, seeded and wallah pure goodness was left,

We have a neighbor and friend who has a sister in New Mexico. A few years ack they brough some ome and gifted us a bag full. I have been hooked ever since, Thanks Steve

My culinary endeavors will be more modest while I payoff the large debt incurred from redoing my deck in mahogany. Thanks 'D

      Please put your pants on outside and during dinner.  Does not matter if you wear them to the liquor store. I am sure there have been others purchasing their hooch in stranger attire. Maybe ask Joe what he wears to the liquor store? Seems to have an opinion on everything else.

We were in you neck of the woods last Saturday. Stopped off at Cabelas for a break on the way home. Started to call but figured you might of been polishing the DECK. I said DECK. Pat said not to stop you in mid polish,
