Anyone a Chef?

[Farmer Fran]

I am not really a Chef but been practicing cooking for a "few" years. I made this a few weeks ago, my first attempt at Eggs Benedict. I know, I know A PAPER PLATE!!!

I grill, smoke and just generally cook for fun.

looks really good!! I recently got into smoking food. I actually put off getting a smoker for a long time because I knew I would get obsessed with it. i have a Traeger and now and Oklahoma Joe's Highland offset

I have been told my dry rubbed pork ribs are great, by many people. Looking forward to my upcoming move back to Warrensburg, Mo. and smoking more ribs. My youngest brother competes each year at the big BBQ contest in KC, Mo. at the American Royal Arena parking lot. Is said to be the biggest BBQ contest in the states.

I'm not a chef, but I cook a lot. One of the best dishes I've made in recent years was Fettuccini Alfredo w/chicken and broccoli from scratch. Just last weekend I made Chicken Corn Chowder, which I'm trying to decide if I wanna risk eating the last of it today. It's outstanding, but I think it's just a bit past it's time.

My mouth is watering after seeing all of this. I cannot wait to start doing the same when I get back home to Missouri.




TITS AND ASS CHICKEN!!!!!!!

GETTING READY TO HAVE THIS FOR LUNCH TODAY. I LOVE FLOUR TORTILLA SHELLS FOR MY WRAPS WITH CHICKEN CHUNKS, SALSA, DILL PICKLE SLICE RANCH DRESSING AND BETTY'S OUTRAGEOUS DRY RUB SEASONING.

It definitely makes me want to thaw out some drumsticks and smoke them this weekend.

 

[Farmer Fran]

Did a boil yesterday... smaller than usual, just the wife and I.

 

[quietpeen]

This was the smoked chuck roast that I made last weekend. Smoked it low and slow like a brisket.

 

[quietpeen]

This was a pizza a recently made. This was my favorite dough so far. I made it at 65% hydration.

 

[quietpeen]

And yesterday I prepared some appetizers for tonight. Cooked pics to follow but this is what they look like before being smoked. Bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeno’s .

 

[quietpeen]

Here is a picture of the queso after 1.5 hours and just put the bacon wrapped jalapeños on.

 

[quietpeen]

I wish I would have taken some pictures, but didn’t think of it at the time. I made my own dough(see previous picture of pizza) and it cold fermented in the fridge for about 6 days and Saturday for dinner I made a calzone with it. The calzone consisted of ricotta cheese, Italian sausage, pepperoni, and mozzarella. I swear it was just like ordering from an Italian restaurant.

 

[Farmer Fran]

Got these shipped in from CT!! they are awesome!

So this has less to do with being a chef vs. Being crafty. If you like Buffalo wings or just wings known to everybody outside of Buffalo NY, but hate how they are soggy when delivered I have a game changer for you. If you have an air fryer you are set, next time you order wings for delivery get them sauce on the side. The wings will still show up soggy so place them in the air fryer and they will crisp up as well if not better than eating them in the restaurant.
