Grilled tilapia and brown rice for dinner. I tried roasted napa cabbage as the veggie. A light sprinkle of sesame oil, salt and 450°F for 15 minutes. Not bad, the crunchy bits were a nice contrast, but don't know if I'd do it again. I'm in a veggie slump. Need a Greener Grocer fix.
For the past 24 hours, my kettle's been about 225-300°F. Cooked a butt and smoked some almonds (see below). Had the pulled pork on homemade corn tortillas with salsa and a bit of cheddar and pintos on the side. Absolute heaven.Across the ravine, a resident has a cherry tree about to go ripe. We want them ALL. The Mrs - pies, me - dried. I'm contemplating a deal where we take them and return to her a batch of lovely dried cherries.
Menu In Progress is a cool site. They make special foods that appeal to me very much. I tried their recipe for smoked almonds (linked). The only problem is they don't last very long. My qa effort has taken quite a toll on the final yield.
Weilands Gourmet Market has some killer melons. Go get one while they last.
Saucisson: 18 days: White, fuzzy, cute, more firm. I'm getting a little bit antsy waiting to see if my best run yet is my best run yet. Maybe another 2 weeks??
