     Thanks, @chileheadmikeThat looks absolutely delicious. Were the Chile's ancho's? Just a small tip, my daughter-in-law's mother is Mexican and she puts them in a blender with boiling water and then weighs them down with a glass of hot water. When when they cool down, she purees them.

     

    Thanks. I was a kitchen manager for a Mexican restaurant for several years. We used Anchos and soaked them over night and then ran them through a sausage grinder. Worked well for the volume we needed.

     

    I used anchos, guajillos, and a home grown and smoked chipotle.  I think I did 5 minutes in the Instant Pot and then blended with some of the water, then strained.

  2. Chile Colorado.  I tried to steam the chiles on the rack, but that didn't work. I put them in the water and put the rack on top to keep them submerged.  Diced country style pork ribs and roasted the bones. Made stock. Next day I browned the meat in saute, and added onion garlic and a little diced celery.  Then the Chile pasta and stock.

  3. In the water. I had some home made chicken stock, I diced an onion, tossed in 3 strips of bacon, lots of fresh cracked pepper, worcestershire, and a few dashes of tobasco. 

     

    I've only had the thing for a week or so. So far I've cooked eggs, the green beans, some steamed chicken breasts for my dieting wife, and a batch of chile colorado. I took pics of that, I'll post them later. Pretty good success so far, I like

  4. Smashburger has a burger with cheese, guacamole, and fresh jalapenos. It's pretty good. I dislike the shoestring fries though. 

     

    I had Freddy's once, a few years back in Manhattan, KS when my daughter was at K-State. Seemed ok, nothing too memorable. 

     

    There's a Shake Shack that opened about a mile from our house here in Lexington. Haven't been yet. 

  5. It's been a few years, but my wife and I had an excellent dinner at Husk. I hope they haven't gone downhill. 

     

    Love Pearlz, super crowded and I don't think they take reservations but really good oysters. 

     

    And I think it's a chain, but I always seem to end up at Blind Tiger for late night... stuff. 

  6. My wife ordered one for me for Christmas. Arrived yesterday. These things are popular. 

     

    1st cook was  green beans and new potatoes with some bacon and onions. 1.5 hours for the beans then added the potatoes and 20 minutes later they were done. 

     

    Did hard cooked eggs this morning. 6 eggs, cup of water and 5 minutes on high pressure then 5 minutes on natural release, then release the steam and run under cold water. Perfect, yolks done, no green, peeled easily.

    Yes. This. If they're still in the dish when served, eat around them, set them aside, etc.

    My younger brother, who is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so to speak, ordered a Kung Pao dish during a family visit to a local Chinese food restaurant. He ate the chile peppers in the dish to prove his manliness and was sick for the next two days.

    Lesson learned. ;)

    I've eaten plenty of dried chiles, no ill effects.

  8. I have about 10 or so. They always start out as nice decorative towels that my wife buys. I'm given strict instructions to not touch them, they're for looks only and if I get my grubby hands on them they will be ruined. 

     

    Then in about six months, they become dishtowels.

  9. There was only three of us for this Christmas. My family lives in Kansas City, my oldest daughter just moved to Minneapolis. It was my wife, youngest daughter and I. 

    I was pulling for prime rib, but my wife wanted pork loin.  I rubbed it with mustard and the sage and rosemary that are still growing on my patio. Roasted over high indirect heat on the Weber with some cherry wood. Served with Yukon gold potatoes baked in mornay and some really nice green beans and some home made rolls. Loin was served with a white wine, dijon mustard and lemon sauce. 

     

    Leftovers may have been better. I was wanting subs, but the store was closed so I made KA's sub rolls using an over night starter. These came out great, I was worried they'd be too tough but that wasn't the case. I sauteed onions, green peppers and mushrooms, sliced the leftover loin thinly and grilled it, finished with some gruyere. I wrapped the sandwiches in foil and baked for about 15 minutes.
