Venison chops with chimichurri. Shrimp and roasted garlic, tomatoes and bell peppers. Then a side of jalapeños with morels, shitaki and oyster mushrooms.

Yes would have helped to show them better.
Two dark ones are Ancho, triangle / pear shapped, a few used.rich deep flavor.
Pasilla, long dark spicey strong. A couple used.
And the main chili used for my bowl of red or other chili sauces Guajillo long red ones. Think of those as the base and any others the spice notes.
Find a Mexican market and buy from bulk bins. Get a big pile of the Guajillo's and small amounts of others that smell good.
The chilies should be pliable like leather and you might want to use disposable latex type gloves while digging around and smelling them.
Sky is the limit.
Don't forget to fry your sauce in a pan with a little oil as the last step.

Thanks!
I use guajillos in making chili (along with dried hatch and ancho). The guajillos add such a rich and almost chocolatey flavor, it really makes a chili dish.
Costco brisket. First meat off the new smoker. Oklahoma Joe reverse flow horizontal offset. Used beech and apple with lump hardwood. Salt and pepper for seasoning.

Nice looking brisket.
I have a pair of burnt up Oklahoma Joe's needing fire boxes in the back yard. Best stick burners I've used.
The pos I have in use sucks bad.
Won't draw right and doesn't hold heat. I need to get out the die grinder and get after it, my son can weld.
How about a a picture of your Oklahoma Joe's

This replaced a 16 yr old Brinkman Pitmaster Deluxe cheapo that finally rusted through.
Home grown tomahawks on the PBC with lump hardwood and some hickory.
I have their little rambler model, which I use for traveling/camping.
Works very well for that purpose. Perfect little traveling charcoal grill/smoker.
Chicken with Spicy Stubbs was PERFECT!
Only had one leg.
Weather is supposed to turn pretty cold the next couple days. Probably got this batch just in time.
Plain Jane cheeseburger with jalapeños and a medley of morels, shiitakes, onions and tomatoes.
this may be sacrilegious but, I wanted to try beef tri-tip broiled. I cooked it in the oven on 170 until it hit an internal temperature of 125. I then pulled the meat out of the oven and turned on the broiler allowing it to heat up sufficiently. I put the meat back in for 6 minutes on each side. Definitely missing the smoke but, it’s otherwise pretty good. Scooped on some chimichurri and called it good.
Adapt, overcome and enjoy.
@Joel Danielson
sent me some coffee to try.
It smelled great then the realization that my grinder was used for chili peppers set in.
And what the hell would measure it?
Had to go all cro magnon on it.
It was awsome.

Another batch of morels.
Rain over the weekend helped out quite a bit.
My wife did some country style ribs on her brinkmann smoker she likes to run. They were great.
So here is a very rare step by step, which I rarely ever take the time to post. Just believe me, you're gonna savor this little comfort food gem. If it wasn't worth it, I wouldn't be sharing this.
Marsala Wine Pork
Bottle of Marsala Wine (You're gonna wanna hunt it down. If you don't have in your AO, you may substitute an $8.00 bottle of Chardonnay.
EVOO or Avacado Oil
4 Shallots finely chopped
5-6 or more
cloves of garlic finely choppedStick of Butter
Thyme
2 Bushel's of fresh Parsley
Carton of Heavy Cream
Flour
Cornstarch
Bone Broth/Stock or Beef Stock
Bone in Country Style Pork Ribs (may use Chik'n as well instead of Pork)
Big ass handful or 2 of Mushrooms (NOT from Ft. Canby)https://www.chinookobserver.com/new...cle_3db350bf-7883-5ad6-a2fa-2d61190a3859.html
Ok, let's get cooking!
If you can use a big ass cast iron pan, do it. If you've got a glass top like I do, a big non stick will suffice, but use a nice deep pan regardless. It'll work 2 fold. Save on splatter, and you'll be able to build it up nice and deep with Nom Nom.
Mix a teaspoon or 2 of Cornstarch into 2 Cups of the Heavy Cream. Mix it up real good!
Season up your Pork with whatever, along with some salt n peppa.
Roll/coat your Pork in flour.
Get your pan going HOT! Just coat the bottom with either EVOO or Avocado Oil. Toss in 1/3 stick of Butter.
Your Shallots, Garlic, and Shrooms should all be diced and ready on the side.
Sear the crap outta your Pork. Bout 3 minutes per side. If some have a bit of fat cap attached, hit that hard, render it down real good.
Pull the meat outta the pan and place in a dish or pan. It's gonna release some juices that you're gonna wanna dump into the skillet after you add the meat back in later.
Toss in your shallots and garlic. Just get'm sweating. Pour a tad (1/4 cup) of wine in the skillet and scrape all the Nom Nom stuck to the bottom and get it incorporated into the liquid. You can put a touch more of oil in if you like, but remember, the pork is gonna render down it's fat and add Nom Nom to the dish already.
Toss in your shrooms and put a good sear to them. Remember to keep the skillet pretty darn hot. You don't wanna sweat out the moisture from the shrooms, you wanna sear'm!
Now pour in your wine. Hell, you can use 3 Cups if you want. I did. Now reduce it and burn off the alcohol.
Now toss in your heavy cream and stir the hell outta it while adding your Bone Stock/Beef Broth, a cup or 2 is fine, just depending on how much sauce/gravy you want left, so use closer to two
. You can always reduce it to where ya want it. Let it start bubbling and just look at that color!Toss in a teaspoon or 2 of thyme, grind in some salt n peppa and mix it up some more.
You're almost to break time!
Give it a taste and see if you're good, or wanna add salt, pepper, or more thyme.
Toss in one chopped up bushel of parsley and place the meat back into the skillet. Pour the drippings in and cover. Turn the heat down to "LOW" and walk away for a couple hours. After 2 hours turn the meat once and cover again for another hour or 2. I did mine for 6 hours! Uncover and put the other chopped up bushel of parsley on top and GO!
Side Note: Before you add the meat back in, if you've got a bit of saffron laying around, go ahead and a put a couple pinches in.
When you're ready to eat put this over Egg Noodles or Rice. We did both! Duh!
Thank me later. The simple, lasting layers of flavor you're gonna get outta this is just to die for. Simple dish really, but man does it hit some high notes!
DO IT! Then check back in.
Think of brisket burnt ends and candied pork belly.
Calling this WTF Pork Sauce.
Could just drink it.

Ok, did up some Bacon wrapped Pork Tenderloins in Mustard Sauce. The Mustard Sauce is basically the exact same thing as the Marsala Wine concoction I posted above, but done with Chardonnay instead of Marsala Wine. And one very important note. Do everything the same as the Marsala Wine recipe. When you're done reducing your sauce to where you'd like it regarding consistency, then, and only then add a tablespoon of Dijon, or whatever Mustard you want in it. Before you put the Mustard in reduce your heat and stir it in fairly quick. If you stray from this advice, you risk the chance of the Mustard separating from the sauce.
It was heaven. And if I do up one more of these in the next few days, imma need Roto Rooter to clean out the arteries!
THIS WAS ANOTHER "HUGE" HIT !
Should have used more Mushrooms! Prolly good on the Shallots and Garlic.

I think you mean either Betty Crocker or Martha Stewart.
Today is my 1st day back after a 2 week lockdown. AND it's my Friday!
The Boyz told me this morning I missed out on a few days of shenanigans and a couple cans of OC goodness. Apparently someone had a case 9f the ass for a couple days and didn't know when to tap out. All's quiet on the front now!
Great, just fucking great!! A Damn Professional enters and we gotta keep up?
No keeping up is not important.
Have you learned nothing on the hide?
You're not a profesional your opinion doesn't matter.
You have no proper training.
Your tools suck.
If you make us mad we will cry to the mods.
Your only here to pad the prize table shut up.
Hold still while the chefs gang bang you it's a contest.

Okay, so now for something completely different...
For the person watching your diet and carb intake:
Healthy homemade tomato soup, with cream cheese and sour cream for, uhm, fiber...yeah...

Started making this the other day. Boneless Skinless Chicken in Yogurt, Cumin, Kashmiri Chili, Garam Masala, Curry, Tumeric, Salt n Peppa, crushed Garlic, Crushed Ginger, Lemon Juice, Onions, and AVOCADO OIL!
With Tumeric Rice with sauteed Onions and Garlic with Tumeric, Chicken Stock, Chicken Broth, and AVOCADO OIL.
Romaine Lettuce with Boiled Egg, Garlic, Salt, Pepper, Parmesan Cheese, Olive Oil, and Worcestershire Sauce, and Croutons! NO AVOCADO OIL!
Let it sit in the fridge over night. You won't be disappointed.
If I was going to do anything different, I'd definitely hold back some of the Yogurt Marinade/Sauce before introducing the Chicken to it so as to have a dipping sauce.

Oven baked salmon, roasted heirloom carrots, and skillet green beans tonight.
The woman was supposed to make salmon tonight. I ended up having Italian sausage with peppers and onions with some fries.
WTF? She said that they didn't have any fresh salmon at the store and what they did have should be turned into dog food.

Want to try something just a bit different? Add a bit of Italian salad dressing to the green beans when they are done. Just a dash till you decide if you like it and want a bit more.
Got the wife to make pot roast in the oven instead of the crockpot.
Much better that way.
It was well browned and tender served with onions, carrots and potatoes. The extra brownage helps with the gravy.
I was just home from storm spotting getting chased by hail all the way to my house to report to NWS because my ht was acting up.
Life is good.

Hey Jimmy, this is a lot like a dish taught to me by a Nepali buddy. Next time try making it with a side of diced tomatoes, diced cucumber, chopped cilantro and fresh lime juice. It really compliments the tumeric.Started making this the other day.

That sounds really good! I'll do that.
Made Chicken Marsala yesterday. Turned out AMAZING!
I can smell that from Texas! Looks good. Any kind of Asian food is hard to find down here.
My son is the head chef for the new Joey restaurant that's scheduled to open in the Houston Galleria about the end of July. He also does testing and recipes for Louisiana Grill pellet smokers. They send him all their latest products and he reviews them.
I enjoy cooking to clear my head. And I gotta say everything you post here makes me wanna cook.
I am not the biggest fan of SEA flavors, but last trip over there I threw down on some Chicken 65 and thought it would be an awesome flavor for wings. May have to try that out one o' these days.
Morel, wild asparagus, garlic, prosciutto, fresh mozzarella pizza cooked over hardwood coals. Sorry no cooked pizza pictures... was too busy eating! 
Also made mushroom risotto with the golden oysters we brought home to go with venison steak seared on carbon steel.

I hear you, and thank you. Seriously.
I've loved cooking since I was literally a kid. Came in handy when friends and I would camp out Trout fishing as 7th graders. Been the Camp Bitch ever since.
And I like it that way. It is a release as well. I know what you're saying, it's relaxing and just a kick in the ass playing with flavors/dishes.
Next time you do up your Wings, if you haven't steamed them 1st to render out some of the fat and the skin, try it. Then pop'm in the deep fryer or the oven, but deep fried is better imho. Then of course toss them in a bowl with whatever sauce you've prepared and roll'm around a bit. After steaming you can roll'm in flour with spices mixed in, or you can do a combination of flour and Potato Starch. The Potato Starch will add an extra level of crunch to them if that's what you're looking.
Anyhow, go rock it and post up!
Just some of the usual suspects. Depends of course what direction ya wanna go in. Always a good idea to spice up the Chicken and let it set overnight, then of course add to your flour as well before coating your Chicken.
I can't lie, I'm pretty damn proud of these corn tortillas
Its funny how something can be so intimidating, and then you realize that its not that difficult
