Made a nice chili today since it’s getting colder at night it’s soup time for me. Used stew meat from butcher box, black beans, ancho, chipotle, Chile arbol, and tomatoes. I toasted the dried peppers in the Dutch oven before I browned the beef chunks before I sautéed the onions in the beef fat. Added some garlic, tomato paste, then diced tomatoes to let that simmer while the toasted peppers sat in hot water. I added some chipotle in adobo sauce with the peppers in the water before blending for my flavor of the chili. Put the black beans and beef cubes back in to simmer then added salt, pepper, and cumin. It’s been simmering for 4 hours and the taste is just right so I pulled it off the heat. The cast iron Dutch oven will carry a lot of heat for a while so it will continue to cook for the next few hours until I eat it. Deciding if I want to cook rice or cornbread to go with it, any suggestions??

I'm not a corn bread guy so some nice jasmine rice would be my vote.

Looks fantastic man.

Jasmine rice is the only rice I keep on hand!

@bens197 @tommc23 Definitly jasmine rice. Even a Spanish rice but since ya only have jasmine that’ll be really good.

NY strip for dinner tonight 

[Peaksy68]

Reverse seared Duck Breast with grated beetroot, duck fat roasted potatoes, sautéed mushrooms and snow peas. Sauce is reduced homemade duck stock with a tiny bit of Hoisin sauce and balsamic. First time I’ve tried reverse searing duck, won’t be cooking it any other way now. Went a treat with a 2016 Lange Nebbiolo from Benevelli.

Dinner last night was stuffed flank steak, needed just a couple more minutes to get the very inside done, but tasty nonetheless.

When I read what you cooked, I feel like I was watching “Chopped” and the chef was telling the tasters what they made!!

Well, I got it. 15 hours and 888 miles, we loaded it in the back of my TB and I headed home. Got a whopping 16mpg on the highway...I really need to get rid of that pig. I'm playing today so I'll be firing it up maybe during the week to play around but doing ribs and baked beans next Saturday. Well, here she is.









And being introduced to the rest of the family.

Holy crap!!! You’re SERIOUS!!! Daaaaaang! Wow.

I too, ate a lot of spaghetti in college

Truth is, excluding the parmesan, it's about $.50 a serving...

One of my all-time best roommates ate pasta 5-6 nights a week. Spaghetti one night, angel hair the next, rotini, etc, all the same brand and just flour-based. He’s not the brightest guy… He thought that the different pastas were giving him different flavors… So, I cooked a pot with about 5 different kinds, then separated them on a plate. I had him put-on a blindfold and asked him to describe the different flavors… He realized they were all the same! 
Little did I know that when I became a food rep to restaurants, I had done my own “tasting” already back in college!!!

Stakes that high must have been rewarded with at least a 12 pack of Red Dog or Rolling Rock

Man I realize most of my posts have been in here because I haven’t had time to golf. Made dough from scratch to make myself a nice Buffalo chicken pizza. Half sriracha and half Frank’s hot sauce

No I just did chicken that I tossed in hot sauce and then put cheese on top of that then some more hot sauce on top of that. When it came out I added a little hot sauce and some blue cheese

Ben the crust on my homemade dough was perfect. It made for a delicious pie that’s for sure!

Hahaha I really like hot sauce

For those looking to make your own pizza dough it’s freaking simple. 15grams salt, 525 grams flour, 10 grams fast acting yeast, and I used about 300 grams of 100* water. Let it sit all day and then put it in the pan and topped it! Quick and easy but delicious and simple. If you cold ferment it in the fridge over 3 days it actually tastes better than doing a quick same day dough.
