What are you eating?

[Caliga]

Why not?

[Admiral Yi]

Bones, plus I thought the smoke didn't add much to the flavor.

We cooked a big bone-in glazed ham for Easter.



My family has eaten plenty of ham, but usually cheap little hams where we didn't do much to prepare them other than reheat them.  This one, however, was marvellous.

Went to a coworker's place for Easter dinner, had chicken cooked in a dutch oven (with vegetables and butter) out in back over a fire with coals. 

Also, Mormons apparently make fantastic carrot cake.

My butcher didn't have any lamb left so now I'm cooking Beef Rogan Josh.

You're cooking Josh?

Well, at least you won't go hungry anytime soon.

Last night I got another salmon filet, cut it up, and dry cured it with dark brown sugar, salt, and black pepper all night in the fridge.  The cure sucked all of the moisture out of the fish and basically turned it into gravlax.  I then let it air dry for four hours and am now hot smoking it over cherry wood.

[Caliga]

Put an apricot glaze on the filets a half hour before the end of smoke time and... one of the best meals I've ever made.

You sure do get your moneys worth out of that smoker.

Damn straight.  If I keep using it like this, when it eventually breaks as all electric appliances do, Princesca will let me buy a BGE.

Basque Beans.

I just had a Moroccan cookie called a 'Croquant a l'ecorce d'orange'.  It's like a shortbread with a strong orange flavor to it.  Pretty good.

Last night I had what I assume is similar to what Cal had. Hot browns, derby pie and mint juleps.

Nah, not really.  Here's what I had to eat yesterday:

Breakfast - bacon, egg, and cheese tortilla

Lunch - burger, fries, and derby pie*

Dinner - fettuccine pesto with a hefeweizen

*I had lunch at a semi-famous old country store called Carriss's Grocery.  The pie wasn't actual derby pie I don't think, because it didn't seem to have pecans in it.  Princesca swore there was peanut butter in it but I didn't taste any.

I'm not a huge hot brown fan, but I've eaten them plenty of times I guess.  I do like mint juleps but didn't make one yesterday.
