Fish 2 nights in a row, but I changed it up last night, just for the "ha-la-but".

Referenced Ann_T's recipe for Veal Piccata. Loved the taste, but I got too sloppy with the rou.  Eaten with green beans and carrot fries.

Tonight, we had a friend over for supper. She seldom cooks lamb shanks herself, so I had them for supper. I realized after that none of the shanks showed up under the blanket of coconut curry sauce, carrot, celery, and potato dumplings! Did the 6 shanks in the Instant Pot, but took Ann_T's advice and seared them first in a shallow pan.

The Man's Christmas present was a starter smoker. I wasn't here so just ordered it for him. Well I've been home for a few weeks now and he decided to give it the maiden voyage!

Pork ribs, yellow peppers and asparagus.  It was a lot of fun to make. The ribs flavour was delish...very spicy with the rub we made up. A bit tougher then we are used to *IP fall off the bone ribbies* The peppers and asparagus had an incredible smokey flavour. This is an adventure we will enjoy :)

My first smoker was the same design as that. (40 + some years ago)  They work very well.  Looks like it did well for you too.  Properly smoked ribs have some tooth 'tug" to them. Falling off the bone is overcooked... at least BBQ judges think so.  What you like to do at home for yourself is what matters though.  edit: PS I like apple wood smoke with ribs.

Thanks for the tips!

 

The ribs were not Instant pot fall off the bone ;) But we did pretty good for the first time, they were toothsome! We'll try applewood for sure!

Stuffed cubanelle peppers with a red meat sauce made a good hit with Deb tonight. Leftovers are already packed up for her lunch tomorrow. I will be examining the weather and tide charts for a possible clamming expedition in the near future. Hope springs eternal!

They sure looked good and I love smoked ribs! My husband will probably make some on our BGE this weekend. 

 

  How do you manage to prep and cook with such long nails!?

Imitation as they say....

 

 I am no connoisseur of brie and although I do have a torch I’m too chicken to use it...

 But it was a lovely bite to finish off my day.

the CSO steam-broil works fine, which Im guessing you used

 

one just has to watch it carefully.

Nope. I always use the Breville Smart Oven on broil/convection.
