No pics but...shrimp and mushroom omelette with a sprinkle of scallions on top. This one is quick and easy. No special ingredients, just small cocktail shrimp and small sliced brown mushrooms that come in a can. There are recipes on the web but they all overcomplicate it with too many ingredients IMO. I like it the way i originally tried it. All that other stuff will get in the way of the shrimpy mushroomy flavor. KISS. Use enough that you can get a shrimp on each fork full. It is the best tasting omelette you will ever have. That is about as gourmet as I get. I have yet to find another restaurant anywhere that makes it.
I learned about this on Guam. I used to stop at a little diner called Rosies and have this for breakfast quite often. Another one that was awesome but i never made it myself was a regular egg breakfast with toast, etc but instead of bacon or sausage they would serve it with a slab of grilled mahi-mahi on the side. That was at a Kings diner on Guam. OMG does mahi go well with an egg breakfast. Damn, now Im hungry.

It was way too windy to smoke out today so I slow cooked the ribs in my oven at 220 for almost 6 hours.

That's what I'm talking about! Looking good mang! Now that our 20" of snow melted off I'm gonna bust something out on the smoker this weekend. I may try a brisket again although I haven't had the best luck. Try try again right!

I was at the local butcher and they had whole pork loins on sale for a 1.88lb, so I got me an eleven pounder to turn into Canadian Bacon (it freezes well).

I cut it into three mostly equal lengths, and put it in a liquid brine of salt, white sugar, brown sugar, and cure salt #1. Two weeks of soak time in fridge, and it'll be ready for a nice long, slow smoke session (generally about 5 hours to bring the IT up to 145*, feeding it smoke the entire time)


I'll update with pics once I smoke it.

Thanks Wharf, that's probably a better place for it.

Ok, so I pulled my pork from the brine tonight and prepped it for tomorrows smoke. It had brined for 13 days in the fridge.



I rinsed, and paper towel dried the pork loin pieces, then placed them on a sheet pan to dry in the fridge overnight. By tomorrow they will be ready for smoking.

More pics to come.....

Sorry, I was buzzed and forgot to post pics last night of the finished product.

Preheated the smoker to 130F, placed pork in. Turned up temp by 10F every hour until I reached 190F. Then held until IT reached 145 on the largest piece of pork.

I then pulled and tented the pork in foil, and placed in the oven for a few hours to cool. I then individually wrapped the pieces in foil, and refrigerated.

I will most likely vacuum seal and freeze 2/3 of it today.

Zen, that looks super decadent yet all the ingredients are very good for you! Mmmmm!

[Baphom3t]

Nachos Gigante Suprema that I made dashed with sriracha sauce !!!!!!!!

[Juthro]

Damn Baphom!

That looks good my friend :)

Though I would personally have to replace the Sriracha with something a little less ulcer irritating.

Man I like that stuff, but it just tears me up, from the inside out, lol......
