The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) Cooking Edition
 

After much discussion (in my head) we have decided to start a damn cooking thread since a lot of us have been posting so much damn food lately. Time to get hungry!

Let's see here.

This was hickory and apple smoked St. Louis ribs in an apple bbq sauce with honey. Hickory smoked brisket with a pecan rub. Hickory smoked pork shoulder in every seasoning I could find.

My classic bacon weaved apple pie with graham cracker crust. Everything from scratch.

Homemade lasagna that i think took me around 8 hours to make. Homemade lasagna noodles using semolina and 00 flour. Hand made Italian meatballs (add ALL the breadcrumbs). Hand made sweet Italian sausage. Chunks of dry ricotta and aged parm regiano cheeses. Slow cooked (8+ hrs) puttanesca sauce. Make sure to always add tons of anchovies, garlic, and capers to it. Richness is an understatement.

Forgot the end photo, but homemade focaccia. Added thyme springs, tarragon, grated nutmeg, and sage.

Some quick and dirty sushi rolls. Finding raw fish in my area that I am comfortable enough to eat is very difficult. Hence the fake crab.

Quality photo of some spinach puffs. Puff pastry, baby spinach, neushfatal cheese, and ricotta. Oh, and bacon.

Banged out these suckers in under a half hr out of sheer boredom. Stuffed with ricotta and sausage. Used bread flour and egg yolks since it was all I had on hand.

Sous vide sirloin with a pan sauce consisting of grain mustard, red wine, balsamic reduction, way to much butter, some flour, and malt vinegar. Side of roasted cauliflower in a cheese batter and topped with tapatio.

Mikey............you missed your calling. :rofl2:

Those ribs look awesome and I’m not a fan of sauces ribs. And who would ever of thought of bacon on an apple pie!

Home made bacon. Maple, peppered and just brined.

Smoked chickens. Brined over night in kosher salt, onion and garlic juice. Injected with butter and random seasoning. One is rotisserie style with Italian seasons. The other is done with an all-purpose rub from the local meat market.

Nah. I'd shoot myself working long hours, junk pay, and minimal holidays or vacation time.

Gotta go light on the sauce. Have never been a fan of smothering stuff. Distracts from the smokiness and rub. As for bacon. It reminded me of make those paper place-mats in kindergarten.

Shrimp boil. Had crawfish too but I forgot to grab a picture of that.

Homemade enchiladas. We cheat and make it like a lasagna so we do t have to roll them all.

Left out I stuff the cavity with orange/lemon/garlic cloves and bay leaves.

Tomahawk steaks we made at work.

I really dont need this in my life, but I want it.

There was some serious heartburn associated with it, but it was so worth it.

It is possible that I may be a regular here. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b7ac809aac.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0fdfb08f25.jpg
