Dinner was ribeye steak sandwich with roasted red peppers and melted mozzarella. Craft beer fries on the side.

No pictures this time, too hungry.
 
Craft beer fries?

Meat:
4 Cornish game hens (I used 5 chicken breasts)
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves and stems, chopped coarse
12 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground white pepper
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup fish sauce

Pulse cilantro leaves and stems, garlic, sugar, pepper, coriander, and salt in food processor until finely chopped then stir in fish sauce. Completely coat chicken, let marinade for 6 to 24 hours (mine made it 5... :lol:).

Sauce:
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon minced Thai chiles
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt

Bring vinegar to boil then add sugar and stir to dissolve. Reduce heat and simmer until vinegar mixture is slightly thickened. Once it completely cools, stir in chiles, garlic, and salt.

Cook chicken to 145F, let rest, slice, place over a bed of rice, spoon sauce over the top, enjoy.

Thank you, sir. I wondered just what made it "Thai" and you've indicated having kids, so I couldn't imagine chilis were used. Lots of garlic is also a plus as far as I'm concerned.

My 12 year old eats jalepenos straight. My 14 year old isn't quite as adventurous but he's not bad. Spicy isn't really a problem for anyone.

Oh, forgot to mention that my local grocery store didn't have Thai chilies so I used serrano chilies. Nice touch of heat that dissipated quickly and went well with the sweet vinegar.

And yes, lots of tasty, tasty garlic.

I'm currently working on butter chicken (out of a can, don't you judge me) and my first foray into home made gluten free garlic naan.
 
Had to clear a space in the freezer so I finished off a bottle of Bombay Sapphire first with a fair gin and tonic and now I'm nursing a London Mule made with the spiciest ginger beer I have ever encountered.

My taste buds are pretty shot right now.

:lol:
 
Mostly I'm just necking Tesco's White Rum.

Actually using a mixer for a change..

Coca-Cola...



.. having palpitations .. must .. drink .. through .. it ..
 

Definitely trying that recipe. :drool:

The aforementioned butter chicken and naan:

The chicken is good but the naan never rose so it's crazy dense. I'm wondering if I either forgot something or the water wasn't warm enough to activate the yeast. :indiff:
 
An Americanized verion of French onion soup.

Modified version of the BBQ Pit Boys recipe.

Smoked the onion slices, used Wild Turkey instead of brandy. Texas toast and monterey jack instead of French bread and Gruyere.

Cooked on the smoker, finished in the air fryer.

 
Had a braising steak in the freezer for ages, and since I don't like stew I thought why not try pan frying it and having it as a steak.

Considering that isn't how you are meant to eat braising steak at all it was actually pretty good. A bit fatty but I kind of expected that.
 
Bought food .... am eating now. I blended apples with apple/pear juice and blueberry juice. This is so sour, I can't eat it in one go. I'm going to have Kefir instead.

Had homemade vegetable soup.
Had homemade red cabbage with a Cordon Bleu (with chicken meat instead of pork).
Had two vanilla ice cream as a desert.
 
Si, I've always been a big fan of hot sauces. Recently ive been on a pretty serious kick though. Thanks to Hot Ones on youtube, I've been devouring wings like I'm on a one man mission to eat all chickens.
A buddy at work hooked me up with a couple of bottles to try.

The Secret Aardvark habanero sauce is amazing! Great taste and the perfect amount of heat.
The Street Eatzz Detroit Smoke sauce is interesting. It's more bbq than hot sauce. I think that will go better on a burger or some smoked beef. Not so good though for chicken. And I am guessing probably not the best for pork.
I've also got a couple of bottles from Scotty O'Hotty, another detroit company. The first bottle of theirs I got got was The Ghost Sauce. That stuff is HOT. But it has a really good taste, not overly chemically tasting like some really hot sauces can get. I actually have been through a bottle and then some in the last two weeks. The second bottle I just picked up yesterday is their habanero sauce. I'll have to give it a back to back tasting with the Aardvark brand, but it is just as good and just as hot.
Definitely looking forward to cooking with all this stuff over the next few weeks.
