What's for Dinner?

Final result. Wife poured some red wine and then went into the oven, came out delicious!!

Varis, that looks to die for.

Now if I could find a way to brown them on the grill and have them hold their shape in the crock pot all day without falling apart, I'd be good to go. Otherwise it will have to wait for next weekend.

I gots to get me an Anova SV unit. I'm dying to try the technique. It was on my list for Santa, but I think I need a new barrel more. Dang!

Jim, how handy are you? I made a temperature controller for my crockpot. I used a commercial temperature controller that turns a solid-state relay on and off. My temperature controller was fairly expensive, but now they are available for dirt cheap: STC-1000http://www.amazon.com/Lerway-All-Purpose-Temperature-Controller-Thermostat/dp/B008KVCPH2

You could brew up your own sous vide rig (assuming you have a crockpot or ricecooker) for less than $50.

London broil, twice baked potatoes and some veges, yum. GF pumpkin pie for desert.

I'm not too handy, but may look into this. I already have an underused crock pot.

Tonight is 'Thanksgiving warm up'. JD/Maple Syrup brined turkey breast cooked on the weber over cherry and apple wood. Roasted red potatoes, haricot vert, and cranberry sauce. Just took the bird off the grill. Pics later.

So you want to be sick of eating turkey before T-day?

Is that possible?

Best thing about a London Broil dinner the night before is the breakfast the morning after...cheese omelette with mushrooms and diced london broil.

Last night we made Braised Short Ribs with Chipolte and Cocoa.

They look AMAZING glowin!

Care to share the recipe?

As I promised, I cooked with the nephew on Saturday. Actually, I ended up cooking with both my Nephew Andrew and my Niece Tara.

Here was the menu..

Shrimp Cocktail

Romaine Lettuce salad with a warm goat cheese patty, beets, candied walnuts, in a balsamic vinaigrette.

Chicken Parm with spaghetti,

Home made whole wheat bread

Chocolate mousse for dessert


We started by getting the sauce started and the bread dough to the point where it needed to rise.

I then had them help me rack some of the 2015 wines and also de-barrel the 2014 reserve. They were a big help and I barely had to life a finger!

Once we finished racking, it was back to the kitchen. We had everything ready by the time the other guests arrived. There ended up being 7 of us... 1 Niece, 1 brother, 2 nephews, 1 nephew's girlfriend, and my wife and I.

I opened a deep and oaky Spanish rioja first, then went to a nice brunello and then a bottle of my supercab.

I plan on doing this every month or so. Nobody, it seems, teaches kids today how to cook, and some of the traditional dishes may very well be lost...

Here is a picture of my niece stirring the sauce and nephew breading the chicken..

Gosh this phone of mine takes lousy pictures!

Words sometimes are not needed...

Sunday Dinner...........

 

[ibglowin]

I posted it up in the WMT Recipe area.

We had this as the main course of our Beer Pairing Dinner last week and it was amazing. Needless to say the chef wouldn't give out her recipe so we did a bit of googling and found one. Would definitely make this again. Hard to go wrong with slow cooked short ribs!

Got a "free" turkey from the Giant like I do every year. Just forgot that we didn't need one for next Thursday. So since it was a struggle to fit it in the freezer, went ahead and thawed it for five days in the fridge (I think the refrigerator is running a bit cold) and put it on the weber bullet for the morning/afternoon. When I took the second image, it had been on there for about 5 hours. The one side of the breast was 160*F, the other was 147*F. Humph, that is strange. Finally figured out the side towards the prevailing wind was not cooked as well as the other. Never saw that before. Rotated the grate 180* and threw the lid back on for another hour.

Will serve with smashed taters, cranberry sauce, a green vege or two, and a niagara/cranberry beverage.
