Grilled BBQ chicken pizza for dinner tonight.
From scratch dough, homemade Alfredo sauce, onions, grilled chicken slices, balsamic vinegar, peach chutney, lots of cheese. Also played with a cheesy garlic bread roll with some leftover dough.

 

Holy hell that looks amazing!

....^^^... Prepped some of the veggies to cook in next couple of days ... ^^^...





...^^^... Thai wife made this curry shrimp dinner for lunch today ...^^^...

I am NOT a big curry fan ... but the curry in this dish was somewhat sweet and this meal was one of her best meals ever ... ...






...^^^... Wife and daughter set the table with only a spoon and fork .... Thai style ... I am still missing my knife ... ... also green tea.

For some reason ... my wife and daughter do not drink anything during the meal .... when they eat their main meals ...

 

I need that corn recipe for the 4th of July.

 

Corn on the cob
Thin sliced Jalapeños
Bacon
Chipotle Pepper Powder
Fresh Cracked Black Pepper


Shuck Corn and remove all the silk
Season with Chipotle Pepper Powder
Wrap with bacon while tucking in Jalapeños in between the bacon and corn. Use toothpicks to secure the ends and season bacon with black pepper.

Grill until done.. turn frequently.

Enjoy!

 

Smoked Scotch Egg Failure.



I think I smoked it too long and it hard cooked the yolk... I'll finger it out some day!

 

...^^^... These are crispy little Asian noodles after they have been lightly fried in oil and drained ...^^^...





...^^^... This is a Thai sauce with cooked pork in it and this is poured over the above crispy noodles ...^^^...




...^^^... This is what the finished dish looks like .... wife and daughter love this ... it has a unique texture and taste ... but not so much for me.

I had a cheese burger for lunch (with lettuce, tomato, onion and mayonnaise) ...

 

...^^^... I tried and tried to make some good sausage and gravy ... but failed .... lol .... so I went to this local "country cooking" place and wow ...

Sorry for the pic as I couldn't wait and took a couple of bites before I took this pic .. unbelievable sausage and sausage gravy and biscuits ..

 

Wait what happened to the gravy? What did it do or didn't do?

 

Here is my secret to good sausage gravy.
start with 1/4 + pound Italian Sausage in skillet
Cook until almost done (not quite)
Add a little water to deglaze the pan
Add enough heavy cream to cover the sausage stir to incorporate all the moisture
Add 1/2 cup sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Add 1 tbl sugar
Bring to boil in the skillet stirring constantly (won’t take long don’t walk away)then turn down to let simmer
It will thicken quickly
Thin with cream until right consistency if necessary

I use sour cream as my thickener. Personally I don’t use flour due to carb restriction. I actually like this better. But if you prefer a flour base then substitute the sour cream for 2 tbl flour and a half cube of melted butter. I add both to a coffee cup and micro until butter is melted the stir until smooth and stir into the cream and sausage mix bringing it to a boil. Then down to a simmer.

Don’t give up...these methods are really pretty foolproof.

Enjoy

 

So you don't use flour because of carbs but you put sugar in your gravy... Interesting

 

I use monkfruit erythritol

...^^^.. It turned out too thin ... like soup.

...^^^... Thanks ... I will try this next time.

...^^^... Today ... we had a different kind of lunch ... she washes these leaves, stuffs them with rice and etc and steams them ...^^^...




...^^^... Thai bananas are roasted separately ... then sticky rice and other goodies go into these leaves ...^^^...





...^^^... This is what the finished stuff leaves look like before they go into the steamer ...^^^...

This is the real thing as far as Thai food ... but I like her other Thai foods better.

She cooks Thai food 99.99% of the time and I like to still have some other types of food too ... and this is pushing me to learn to cook more too.

 

Hmmm too much milk, not enough flour, didn't cook long enough or some combination, I bet you could have basically reduced it down to the consistency you wanted though as long as you didn't try and go too fast and burn it.

 

Ube sugar cookies

 

That looks/sounds fantastic
My wife cooks a lot but she’s country- biscuits are 2nd nature for her.
She rolls up some pretty great fresh spring rolls too but that’s about the extent of her Thai cooking lol

 

Thai chilie?
