What did everyone cook today?
-
For lunch the wife wanted some good old grilled cheese and tomato soup. So I whipped it up for her. I used my home canned tomato juice to start the base for the soup. A little spice and some heavy cream brought it to life. I had seasoned and smoked some soup crackers for snacking, and they went great with this soup. The wife just wanted grilled cheese, but I boosted my sandwich with some shaved grilled smoked ham. The cheese in the sandwiches was smoked Pepper Jack and Baby Swiss. Quick and not approved by my cardiologist, but tasty.
These are the smoked snack crackersGWG8541 Well you reminded me of great comfort food of my past. Yep firing up the griddle in the morning on the patio facing East for some grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. A glass of chilled white Chablis, watching the Oklahoma sunrise reminds me “LIFE IS GOOD”. Always worse places to be, and worse things to be doing. As you, and so many of us know. It’s 1700hrs some where… Cheers, Joe

GWG8541 There is nothing like good old grilled cheese sandwiches & home made mater soup, for comfort.
Now I like the idea of those smoked crackers, tell us more!
You have to enjoy life, every now & then. Just nothing in excess, right.calldoctoday my nephew in Kansas gave me this cracker recipe. I just used the Spicy Hidden Valley Ranch powder instead of the plain.
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
2 TBSP Spicy Hidden Valley Ranch mix
2 1/2 TBSP fresh fine chopped Dill or
(1 tsp dried dill)
1/4 tsp lemon pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powderMix all ingredients thoroughly in a bowl
1-12 to 16 oz bag/ box of Oyster/Soup Crackers (any brand is fine)
Place crackers in a gallon ziploc bag and add mixture. Toss lightly in bag until everything is coated.
Spread crackers on a half sheet pan try to keep a single layer.Place in smoker at 250 (I use a pellet smoker) for 15 to 20 minutes. Occasionally I put them under a broiler for a little extra crispness, but be careful not to burn them.
Crackers take on smoke easily, if you don’t want smoked this can be done in an oven. They are a great beer snack. Enjoy

JoeB I think I might have gotten a little softer since retiring from field conditions. I am putting up the tent before sunset today, I can’t believe how far I have fallen. LOL

JoeB If I was really motivated I could wait to do it in the dark with some chem lights or NVGs
Life is always good on this side of the grass, still have some options.
Speed is overrated when they are looking for volunteers.

JoeB I’ve seen it as WETSU, not to be confused with SNAFU. I think WETSU would be an appropriate name for this Meatjistics group. Maybe you should run it by Jonathan.

calldoctoday I follow a modification of Alabama Firecrackers, add a few more ingredients, and always use butter rather than oil. Also use only mini crackers, not large ones. Place that in a smoker set at a low setting. A favorite snack.
Chef Thank You.

GWG8541 You are right my Brother. You have the correct acronym WETSHU. long time gone by since i heard that in cadence. Chef you should be giggling. You spent the time to look it up. Most would not understand.
