What did everyone cook today?
-
calldoctoday I was there right after Katrina and two weeks later there was another one that they said was gonna hit Houston. I was in San Antonio for work that Friday and my boss told me not to risk coming into the office but I had paperwork I wanted to get in while everything was still fresh in my mind. Drive in from my house to office in downtown Houston usually took 1 hour or so, took 20 minutes cause no one was heading that way and then took me 6 HOURS to get home! People were running out of gas on the highway. We got a mild thunderstorm that night so we all freaked over nothing!

I had a 2/3 lb d’affinois cheese stuffed burger on brioche, made some pastrami in my smoker, prepared duck confit for some upcoming d’affy duck nachos and made a huge pot of duck stock.
Joe Hell they call a cheese stuffed burger a Jucy Lucy in the Minneapolis/St.Paul area.
Looks and sounds pretty darn tasty.

Jonathon Don’t you just love it some days! Yes, I was on assignment during both of those events. The first was Katrina, the second was Rita that ended up centering around Calcacieu Parrish (Lake Charles Area). I was supposed to do our work solo for that, I am glad the figured out otherwise after a while, but I tried. I was supposed to eventually go to Pearland & work, but they seemed to want to keep me out of there after all was said & done. I did end up for a while as far as Port Arthur & East Texas, & then snuck over to see my dad, before having to head back out this way. I am glad you made it through all that OK.

calldoctoday Well…I did make each of my folks a burger so I suppose I shared but that one was all mine!
Joe Hell Wow, all yours, as far as the eye could see then. That must have been a whole lot of good looking burger!
-
calldoctoday The salad dressing was Thousand Island.
Tex_77 Hmm, it just seemed to look much more, what should I say, melted Cheddar Cheese like than Thousand Island. It looked much brighter than Thousand Island.
-
calldoctoday Well I soaked the rice for 20 minutes or so then rinsed, then toasted in oil, threw in some diced onion, a can of diced tomatoes and green chilies (drained) and some minced garlic.
Tex_77 That sound extremely interesting. I am going to have to try that some time. Any other details I should know of?

Tex_77 OK, I think it ends up then a lot like my Mexicali Rice Recipe, as I call it, but I do not do the rinse & toast & all, just the spices & fresh peppers & a normal cook. Thanks

A night off from the grill. Sudden craving for shrimp and fries. Visited the frozen section. Haven’t deep fried in some time. Well worth it. Just me and the Brothers!

Experimented a little the other day with 100% ground turkey. Made maple breakfast sausage, 1 lb of Jerry’s Bratwurst without casings and 2 lbs of Excalibur Signature Smoke Kielbasa without casings. Only got photos of the Kielbasa, I was impressed with the turkey and not needing to case it, the flavor was a bit spicy for kielbasa, the must use hot paprika, but it was tolerable. Smoked it for fours hours at 160 degrees.

How about a little smoked breakfast casserole with maple smoked sausage, maple smoked buckboard bacon, lots of peppers, fresh shredded hash browns, cheese, & of course, eggs.

Oh, mushrooms too!

Jonathon I am jealous about the pheasant, but I needed to celebrate my wife’s birthday and she has been hinting for beef. I found beef tenderloin for 5.99/lb. Going back tomorrow to stock the freezer.
Beef tenderloin, grilled Mexican street corn, baked potatoes, herbed butter and sauteed mushrooms and onions.

iYooperDog Very nice, & what grocer did you have the pleasure of robbing to get that great present day price on beef tenderloin. Excellent work all in all & Happy Birthday to your wife!
