Foodies BS Thread.

Seared some scallops on our new Himalayan salt block last night. may be my new favorite way to grill.

 

I have been pretty interested in this method but haven't known anyone to own one. How different is the flavor vs just salting your food before grilling?

 

Looks great Pete!! ^^^

 

I can identify. I've come to the conclusion that I've at the very least become lactose intolerant, if not outright dairy allergic.

My tests of altering my diet have shown results consistent with this hypothesis.

While this makes me very, VERY angry and disappointed, I'll visit a (new) Doc this spring and a dietitian as required to confirm this with blood work.

Makes me a pretty sad panda for my kitchen work going forward, but knowing is better.

THAT ASIDE!

I'm also interested, Colinb17, in how your salt block is working out. I'm considering this option myself!

 

Homemade pie and wings from tonight.

 

Have I mentioned lately, Luse, how much I love your work?

 

Ha! Thanks man. Yeah, I've had some practice.

 

So last night made wet burritos with the lady friend, presentation was perfect. We sit down to watch the last 2 episodes of breaking bad, and I cut right into it. She leans back, and says, "wow, you didn't take a picture of it." I thought damnit! I was too excited about the series finale to snap a pic!

 

Foodie fail! I sometimes do the same.

 

I do this pretty much everytime haha. Was that your first time watching the last 2 episodes?

 

Yea, first time seeing the final two episodes. My jaw dropped quite a few times, what an ending! Haha, as for the sexy turn part... after a huge chicken burrito and watching Heisenberg lay down the law, I was in a partial food coma and mental shock. Thinking about it now, I probably looked ridiculous!

 

Nice!! Yeah that was one of my favorite TV series apart from The Walking Dead. Took me a while to watch it but once I did I was hooked!!

 

I'm looking for a new series to start now, was actually thinking of The Walking Dead.

To keep the food going as well, here was a steak dinner from the other night. 8oz filet from local butcher shop, home made vinegar based cole slaw, home made garlic mashed potatoes, and fresh fried onions. The presentation wasn't the best, but the flavor was out of this world!

 

Smoked a pork tenderloin today since I was doing another turkey breast for a party this week. Turned out pretty good - maybe 5 degrees too done...

 

5 degrees is a bit high, but it still looks damn good

 

Looks awesome!! ^^^

 

Thanks guys - I should have pulled it off at 150 but got distracted and didn't check it until it had hit 154. Still tasty.

 

Look great! I would've taken it off at 140 and let it rest with a little foil draped over it for about 10-15 but I want mine at 145 come consumption time

 

That's only sorta lazy.

You *could* make them yourself (there's a hella good home version of the recipe up on serious eats) but since even the bought ones are seriously awesome you'd get a pass.
