What are you cooking right now?

This almost belongs in the DIY thread...

Did my spring cleaning on the grill, 18v wire brush on the grates, noticed the internals were pretty shot-
Mostly crossover tubes.


Replaced with aftermarket Hongso internals. Mostly okay, but for the price ($26 for burners, crossovers and flare guards) tough to beat.
Before I removed anything, I checked fit on almost everything (foreshadowing).

Burners were spot on, crossovers a tad short (less efficient), flare guards lighter than oem, but we're good.

Go to put it all in place, oem screws for crossovers don't fit.
Drill some, and we're okay.


Forgot a before pic, but shine from 3M stainless cleaner, and we golden.
Not bad for a 10 y/o grill

Easter grill is on.

And post-mortem

My wife said in the future not to serve it like this.
Maybe just half of it at a time.
Whatever. Looked awesome to me.

I would have just eye-balled it.

Leftover from last night... popped it in the microwave.

Grilled cheese on sourdough with cheddar, Edam, Dubliner and slab bacon with creamy tomato basil soup.

Been waiting for this since 8am this morning. Perfect thing for an Indian winter dinner.

Grilled a bunch of veggies (peppers, zuccs and asparageese) and made sole oreganata.


Almost made baked yucca fries, but too much work for tonight, and I had plenty of carbs today thanks to Carmine's and Portland.

 

[rlb]

I left a London broil on the grill for way too long tonight. That's gotta count for something.

 

[DPLEVY]

meth!



Just kidding. Coffee.

Pork and chicken carnitas tacos

Muy yum.

Not quite cooking, but trying to make kimchi. I was given this diy kit (by my mother in law coincidentally) and it seems easy enough. Waiting for the cabbage to salt then I will attempt to shove 2.5 lbs of cabbage into a 1 quart jar. Not sure how that's going to work out, we'll see!



On a side note, we've been eating very plain around these parts for about 8 months (the Mrs. is a rock star, still nursing the little one 10+ months, but she had to drastically reduce her diet to do so). It feels good to break out the kitchen gadgets and smell some fresh onions, garlic, ginger etc.

I think chili might be next on the list.

You gonna bury that in your backyard?

And if you need a chili recipe, let me know. Got a recipe for a killer veggie chili base, and options for making it meat lovers.

Somehoe most of it fit. And the 2015 Mets were good for something after all...

I'll keep it in the back of the Pantry, close enough. We have a chili recipe from my father-in-law that we always make, but my wife and I talk about making something different every now and then. What do you have?

Is that regular cabbage? Need Napa cabbage. I also like putting in whole garlic cloves and scallions. And if I can find it baby daikon radish. You're supposed to wash the leaves in some sort of brine then coat it with chili paste. I don't have a good recipe, but my college roommate used to bring out of this world stuff. Smells like death, but so good. Some use fish guts for flavoring as well. Let us know how it turned out.
