What's Cooking?

[MOPanfisher]

I think I mentioned a while back that I had undertaken to clean, sand and reseason one on my older cast iron skillets.  Thought I would relate how that worked out.  Actually I got too much oil in it and it set up in that what appears to be a super hard substance but when using it will promptly peel off.  Crap, cue up attempt number 2, much better job, was still a bit hesitant about how well it would be.  The other night my wife wanted some fried taters so I set up the skillet to use, after letting them brown for a while I grabbeb a wooden spatula to scree them and flip them over.  Got a death grip on the handle, expecting things to be stuck to the bottom and gave a big shove, and promptly slid about half of the taters out of the skillet onto the stove.  Cue up the scrambling to get them all back in the skillet and stove cleaned up.  Lesson, a smooth bottom and we'll seasoned skillet is a whole different world.

I have a brine working, salt sugar, peppercorns and whatever else I found.  The salt was a mix of some Hawaiian sea salt (so I could empty the container) and some pink himalayan salt (my wife has a thing for salt, I have used salt from the feed store before for the brine), something called cowboy rub, thyme, garlic, ginger, and a blood orange I stole from my wife's stash of them.  Will put the pork loins and chicken into it tonight for a long soak then tomorrow afternoon it will go to the smoker.  Gotta make a loaf of gluten free bread too as it was requested and we do have the items needed.  Will add add photo tomorrow if I don't forget.

I blanched the green beans to the still a little crisp stage and dumped them in ice water to stop the cooking. Some people might want to cook them a bit longer. I diced the seeded Roma tomato, salted it and let it sit for about an hour. I poured some EVOO in the salad plate, built a little log pile of beans and spooned the tomato concasse over the beans. Then I dotted the oil on the sides with a good Balsamic.
