BBQ Sauce Makin' Time the hotter the better

So I went to H-Mart and they had what they called Jamaican Peppers or what we call habaneros for $2 for half a pound.Needless to say all but 4 made it into my left over BBQ sauce consolidation of the refrigerator sauce.

Pork Butt pulled pork

Finally was able to find a nice boston butt this season has been a hard one to pickup the choice pork cuts and this one takes the cake!

I went a little light on the rub this time and used more of the garden herbs to make a spice rub.
Then I added cholula hot suace to the drip trap to create a nice hot sauce smoke flavor to the meat.
Sidney guarded the grill as he is the major pulled pork fan of the household.
Nice and charred on the outside with excellent burn ends the bone slide right out after 8 hours of smoking with hickory wood.

Wiener Time

One of my favorite ways to do a beer brat is to pan fry it as the beer caramelizes instead of steaming the sausage.Takes about 20 minutes to do it right and a beer and a half - Carlsberg works the best but any high sugar beer will do.
Finish it off with a bath of beer to make sure its fully cooked.

Shop Smart Shop H-Mart

Crab legs are one of our favorite and now living on the east coast its much easier to get sea food. The best part is going to the Asian market to get the nice fresh stuff 2 pounds of legs for $14 and $3 squid deal of a life time.I have never cooked squid before but I am a master google searcher and fiend of calamari.
I gave the squid a quick chop and bath in milk and eggs wash before coating them in panko bread crumbs and frying. Hit this one out of the park they were so good so every time I hit up H-Mart I have to get squid.
Boiled the legs in a nice seasoned broth - next time I make this I will write down what goes into the water.
This on the other hand is another thing I picked up at H-Mart Korean BBQ'ed Pork pre-marinated and some fresh japanese eggplant and okra which I deep fried in panko bread crumbs.

Grilled Pot Roast low and slow

So I had the ideal to grill a beef pot roast for 6 hours on 200degree heat.First thing I did was make a nicely loaded drip tray and beef broth to add moisture to evaporate and keep the meat tender.
Using a newly purchased weber rake I placed the seasoned beef on top of the grate and let it cook for the day away.

I highly recommend this method of cook roasts and think it could be used to do roast beef sandwiches just place the meat in a drip tray instead of the rack and make a nice broth with stout, beef bouillon, and spices.

Chicken N Ribs

Nothing goes better then chicken and ribs and with the new grilling season come new grilling racks to try out the perfect combo at the same time.2 Hours on indirect heat with a beer in the drip tray make this meat perfect.
250 degrees cook her slow

Desert

I hate desert but I love the ones Won brings over cuz he knows no chocolate all fruit and keep it classy.This other cake is for my wife as she can haz chocolate.

Mango Archar

So I was talking to a friend who is from India and he mentioned Archar which is a very difficult to make pickle recipe.I saw it as a challenge and proceed to make the stuff which takes 3 months to ferment.

I do not have a photo of the final product but it was excellent.

Pernil

ThanksGiving for Twp

It is so fucking hard to just find a nice turkey breast for Thanksgiving it took 10 stores to get this thing!
I should have just got the full bird it would have been easier to cook and cheaper.
You win some you loss some it was good but such a bitch I hated the thing.
My what a lovely dinner for two

Throwing shit together

Had a few pepper left from the garden and sometime on my hand to throw some shit together

Miso Soup

I love Miso soup and being able to make it at home is the bomb considering I would eat it for breakfast everyday if I could.

Uncured Bacon

Do not buy thisI spiced it up and made it into jerky and its a bitch and so not worth the effort!

Curry

I really like India food and I have been trying to get better at making some dishes like Phall
Super hot chicken curry

Short crappy season to grow 2009 so I moved them to the basement

Who would think that you could keep a pepper plant alive through December in your basement with standard florescent lights.I was able to pepper my Thai Chilles, Jalapenos, Chocolate Habaneros and orange Hab's alive 4 more months!

Not Hot Not Spicy and Not Worth It

Cucumber Vinegar Mix-Wife post

We got a few Bobby Flay books from the library yesterday and we came across a recipe that 

reminded me of a cucumber salad that my mom used to make so I called her up and got the

 basics and then I added on top of that it goes something like this...

cucumber sliced and put in a bowl cover in salt, I prefer see salt but salt works just as well, set aside for an hour and then drain the water, this allows for a dried out but crunch cuc.

add chopped tomatoes

add chopped green beans

add slicely cut onion of your choice

for a variation add kidney beans or another type of bean 

add a teaspoon of sugar

add roses sweetened lime juice (to preference)

add vinegar (to preference)

salt and pepper to taste

stir and put in refridgerator for a couple of hours before you serve stirring occassionally.
