This Thanksgiving my daughter taught me how to make the perfect flaky pie crust that she learned from her mother. For Christmas I got a new smoker, my 20+ year old one finally fell apart. What do these 2 facts have in common? I made a pie out of left-over smoked pulled pork, Tater Tots, corn, and sharp cheddar cheese. DELICIOUS!!! I was tempted to lattice bacon over the top crust but was cooking for company and didn't want to risk ruining it :lol: |

Well folks it hit a scorching thirty five degrees today in the tropical atoll of Kalamazoo. The sun even came out for a record fifteen minutes! I haven't been feeling well but when a working man is hungry drastic measures must be taken. I fired up the Weber and twenty five minutes later it was time to cook and dark out already. The second picture looks like Nasa's Weber Moon Probe ready to take a frozen soil sample. Steak was on the menu, seasoned and cooked perfectly. The fries and pasta salad were store bought but good at any rate.

I get good inspiration from this thread, I'd like to keep it going. "Semi-homemade" Valentines Dinner. Frozen Chicken Cordon Bleu, packaged rice with fresh sauteed mushroom stuffed into artichokes halves (choke removed to make a bowl) and fresh green salad. With the time I saved with the packaged food I made a Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake.

Butter Roses! Too cool, too bad they have to be made with unsalted butter :( That renders them unfit for human consumption Clockwise from the top; Spicy Tuna Roll, Seared Salmon Nigiri, Spam Musubi Bites, Salmon Roll with Cucumber & Avocado, homemade pickled ginger. |

Not to brag or anything but Booyah!! My club, the Nebenkanoozers, had our ten year anniversary and I cooked up a 64 pound pig. It was quite a job and I will do a couple things a little different next time, but overall it was great. My sincerest regards to the sentient being that died for our consumption. Peace with every step. coals ready 4:30 am Always someone watching over the cooking The turning begins! Sun's up and the pig is browning. On display! Punch with tiki ice for the guests. |

Well, one of the things I would have done different,,, I cooked it for over 8 but it could have cooked another 4. We discovered the "undoneness" and then seared it on the grill, quartered it and roasted it for about 40 minutes. It turned out fine after that. Next time it will be at least a 12 hour cooking session, if not longer. It was my first time cooking a whole pig without my Father. Learning curve. |

Lechon Baboy!! I'd love to try to roast a whole pig, but never have enough folks over to eat the whole thing. I've tried doing just a picnic shoulder, but the skin never comes out crispy. How'd the skin turn out on yours? Saw a guy use an old bathtub as a pit to roast one on youtube... howlinowl |

The skin will get crispy if you do a lot of basting. Especially if you have a higher sugar content in your baste. Time man, time. Mike, that dragon roll piece is awesome. |

I made traditional Hungarian beef Porkolt. My last name is Szekely an older than dirt name that can be traced back to the 9th century in the area of the Carpathian Mountains and Transylvania. With a love of family history I decided to delve into some Hungarian recipes. The beef Porkolt is made with beef,onion, garlic, bell pepper,tomatoes and a big dose of sweet paprika. Simmered for nearly two hours to reduce and thicken. Served over galuska egg noodles. It was very good and I cant wait to try some other traditional dishes. I love cooking on my vintage Tappan Fabulous 400.

Hey Mike, I found the following recipe at a Williams-Sonoma site. I used a White cake (boxed) mix and subbed the buttermilk, OJ, and PFpulp for the water called for in boxed mix. I sprinkled a little toasted coconut on the glaze. Adds a little drama and tropical flavor. Wish I had a pic. I used a Bundt pan as called for but I bet that a layer cake with the glaze used as a filling would be killa! This traditional cake is eaten in many Argentinean homes, often as an accompaniment to afternoon tea. It is usually purchased in pastry shops, 
but this straightforward recipe is well worth the effort. Passion fruit is used 
in many ways in Latin America: juice for drinking; as flavoring for ice creams, glazes, toppings and other desserts; and for adding sweetness and complexity to salsas, sauces and savory dishes. You can find frozen passion fruit pulp in most Latin markets. |

Thanks David. I'm a big fan of the "semi home-made" way of starting with a boxed cake mix, why re-invent the wheel? I will give it a try, thanks. I found out you can sub a can of coconut milk for the oil and water in a yellow cake mix and it works out well. |

Great stuff guys! I made a batch of homemade Jamaican Curry Shrimp. Red onion, minced garlic, julienned red and green bell peppers, curry, thyme and coconut milk. A few other ingredients thrown in for good measure and of course good shrimp. Served over plain white rice. Very tasty. Seems like everything I've made lately is best served in a bowl :D |

YUM!!! Sheppard's Pie! In my continued search for a tropical cake I made a tropical version of the traditional Christmas fruitcake. Started with a banana cake mix (I like "semi-homemade") and dumped in a BUNCH of dried pineapple, dried bananas, dried kiwi, dried papaya, dried mango, coconut, macadamias, and cashews. Much better than the traditional :lol: |

Hilda, I'm not much of a fish guy but that looks delicious!!! I generally try to avoid rhyming foods like "Fajita Pita" and "Turkey Jerky". But my daughter was talking last week about Falafel Waffles so I had to try it out. About 2/3 falafel mix (imported from Lebanon) and 1/3 pancake/waffle mix cooked in a Belgian waffle iron, cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, shawarma chicken, and Greek yogurt. The waffle was a bit dry, could have used a sauce to moisten it a little - like regular yogurt (instead of thick Greek yogurt) mixed with some avocado. |

That dish looks amazing Mike! I bet it tastes even better. Nothing special about last nights meal. After a nine hour day on the job site and an hour and forty minute commute each way and couple hours of lawn work I was beat. A couple of really good ribeyes and some portobellos tossed with olive, sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper filled the bill. You can tell by the pics that Kalamazoo really does thaw out in the summer. It turned out to be a great dinner and a nice evening.

Got an early Fathers Day gift. It is called a Comal De Bola. Got 2 kinds of pollo, carne asada, nopales, the big green onions and some yellow peppers going in there. I'll be heating the street style corn tortillas on the hump in the middle. Everything simmers in their juices and slow cooks. Been wanting one of these for a long time and this is it's maiden voyage!
