While looking for a Christmas dinner idea I came across this...simply salivating over that yummy, crusty, seasoned bits on those edges. Must watch the video. It's not what I decided on but this will be soon enough in my tummy.

Okay my Tower of Pork fell, I helped itnup though. It's okay because I have pomegranate tequila.

Needs better propping

That looks awesome! Going to have to try it on the Weber.

I was thinking something similar. It's tall, maybe it will fit in the egg and get that added oak smokiness. I just look at it and want to lick those charred bits.
 
Cuisinart trouble ?

December 14, 2016

The maker of Cuisinart recently recalled 8 million food processors, because the blades can break off.

My neighbor gave me some Red Tamales hot from her steamer. I'd heard of putting olives in them, but had never tried it. Really, really good tamales.
 
My Mexican friend learned me this when he taught me how to make them, it's a nice unexpected flavor pop.

I'm neutral on sliced olives, and I would have thought an entire olive would be too much, but it isn't.

I have not found a decent tamale on the east coast. I will continue the search.

Christmas was tamale season in Colorado. Friends and neighbors gathering and making the tasty little bastards one after the other. Hot green chile for smothering when all the work was done. Good times.
 
ooooo

Friends, I am pleased with myself. I made a lovely cream sauce with Parmesan. I browned up thick bacon, reserved a bit of grease to saute garlic and spinach. I took three chicken breasts and shredded the chicken into the sauce. With the bacon and spinach mixture, the sauce became heavenly. Lasagna noodles and fresh mozzarella on top.

I became ambitious and added handmade apple pie with a Irish butter crust.

The lasagna was so good.

The baking pie smells like home.

Oh, that sounds heavenly. It's been too long since I've made lasagna with a white sauce.
 
Made some saucy Maple Baked Beans, a thick, warm, wonderful bowl of tummy-yumminess for a cold wintery day.

I usually dice and use some of my dry-cured smoked bacon when making this, but switched things up a bit and used about 1/2 pound of sliced lap cheong instead.

Lap cheong is a wee, tasty, dried Chinese pork sausage, that is smokey, salty, and sweet. The beans came out delicious and the lap cheong was a hit. Sometime soon, I think I'll try making some spaghetti carbonara with it, instead of using pancetta. A culinary cultural crossover of sorts.
