What did you have for dinner? -Part dois (1 Viewer)

I was too busy to have more than a quick snack for lunch, so I had an early dinner. Royale with cheese and small fries. Happy Friday!
 
Slow cooked a corned beef last night in the crock pot, had sandwiches today on fresh Korn's rye bread with mayo. Enough left for another meal. B&J NY Super Fudge Chunk ice cream for dessert.
 
smoked three pork butts
since R2D2 was fired up, also grilled hatch chile infused brats, salmon filet for the wife, and a ribeye for sandwiches this week
made a large batch of slaw
and deep fried hush puppies
watermelon on the side

before going to bed, my wife observed that it is a better deal to go to a BBQ joint and avoid all the cooking and cleaning. she isn't wrong
 
Last night was chicken tikka Marsala that I added potatoes and Asian mixed veg. Served with basmati rice and garlic naan.

blaze kamado, made from spun aluminum, hence "R2D2" ... here's a (stock*) photo which explains the nickname

OK. I have an 18" Cuisinart smoker. I should have spent the money for the 22" Weber instead but this is plenty for 2-4 people.

back in the mid 80s the small habichi phase had ended and the weber bullet shaped smoker replaced it
my first cook i decided needed to be thanksgiving turkey for my pregnant wife, in-laws, and parents
and i placed the bird of honor inside the smoker, allowing for the standard time to cook a turkey in a conventional oven
my mom and mom-in-law soon became hangry, having all the fixin's and none of the bird to eat
they quarrelled non-stop to determine which one's child was responsible for this snafu
*raises hand*
did i mention that this was the first time that they had met
Dads got along great
Moms never saw each other unless it was a child's birthday event. we even scheduled Christmas visits so there was no venn diagram moment when the two Moms could again interact
i soon gave away the smoker and bought a wonderful Holland gas grill ... but have used the regular oven every year since when it comes to getting a turkey ready to star at the thanksgiving table
needless go say, that was not my favorite thanksgiving memory ... the weber caught the blame. i still suffer trauma
 
Chicken and broccoli pot pie. I was under my calorie goals today, so I also had a pecan cluster as a snack later. My wife got me a really nice one for our anniversary months ago, and I have been saving it for a low calorie day.

Do you like pecan pie? I had to stop buying them due to lack of self control 😪

Yeah. I remember thinking that it didn't look good when I was a kid, but as an adult, I've had it a couple times, and I enjoyed it. It's weird how tastes change.
