Smoked duck.

 

Just added another thing to the list of foods that I want Mr. Kim to smoke!  How is the skin?  We found the skin on turkey breasts to be unpleasantly tough, but chicken wings were fine.  I'm guessing it is due to the amount of time they spend in the smoker.

 

Super Bowl munchies yesterday - Crab Meltaways, mini corn dogs and mini bagel pizzas:

 

Beef stick, Cheddar and habanero cheese:

 

Crudités & dips:

 

Olive bar stuff:

 

Chips & Dip:

 

Pita chips and caramelized onion hummus:

 

Assorted cookies from Wegmans for dessert:

 

As you can see, I barely cooked a thing.  We are having almost every room in our house painted, starting today, so I've been spending every spare second packing up the house!

@Kim Shook, I feel your pain ref painting...I had my entire house painted, including ceilings, and they just finished Friday after 8 working days. Next paint job will by by the next set of owners.

The skin has generally come out soft and tasty. If you are looking for crispy skin, though, this definitely isn't they way to go.

I have a jar of Peruvian aji amarillo.  How do you make the sauce?

 

For mine I use dried aji amarillo rather than paste.  Also aji panca and serrano peppers.  Lots of cilantro.  Mayonnaise and sour cream.  Garlic, lime juice, and vinegar.  I don't measure.

 I've got no idea what it is but it looks good. Incidentally, matar in Spanish is to kill. Did you have to kill it to cook it?

 I was quite pleased with myself when I was able to grab a couple of duck breasts from the supermarket last week.  I was quickly cut down to size when I went to cook one and discovered they were smoked duck breasts!  

 So tonight a very simple salad with smoked duck breast.

The Strip steak part of the porterhouse?

Korean BBQ chicken. Normally, I like to do these on the grill rotisserie, but these two 5 1/2 pounders would wear their skin off on the drip pan on the grill because they are too big, so I did them in the oven. It was cold today, so I was happy for the additional heat in the house. I did two, the second as a gift for Deb's daughter and son-in-law, for  tomorrow. They both have the day off from their jobs at a local casino.

I had not made a potato salad in a while, and decided to do one to have as a side. Even though I had these growlers filled for the super bowl, we ended up drinking white wine. I decided to break out a new favorite with this chicken, Too Many Cooks.

Buying tenderloin end piece allowed me to have my steak bleu at the thicker end while DH enjoyed his medium rare at the thinner end with a rare piece in the middle left over for sandwiches.  Okra was roasted in CSO 450 degrees for 30 minutes with salt and olive oil.

Another night of Georgian Tabaka.  Not leftovers, mind you, I seem to keep making it.  With my DeLonghi I can grill a Cornish game hen in five minutes, I can't achieve that in the CSO.  The spiced chicken is blackened on the outside and juicy within.

 

Served with Ispanakhis Pkhali (admittedly leftovers, but that's OK), and CSO Soko Ketze, mushrooms baked with cheese.  Highly untraditional, but an excellent baguette to wash down the wine.

 

[liamsaunt]

last night I used up a bunch of leftovers and made sandwiches.  Roast lamb, arugula, camremlized onions and tapenade aioli for the husband

 

 

Leftover crispy buffalo chicken from my Super Bowl party for me.  I could only manage half of the sandwich, the other half will be my lunch tomorrow.

 

[Paul Bacino]

My " SuperBowl Wings   --  Penzey Southwest seasoning night before/ cook 375  30 mins or So/ baste with Frank's/ Louisiana/ Butter/ tough of raw sugar

the 10-15 @ 425..  Wings cooked on a rack and Basted every 10 mins--Out to the grill for 5 mins--Bluecheese dressing

 

[Shelby]

 Ribs, beans, brussels and roasted potatoes

Then for Super Bowl we had fried chicken gizzards and pheasant strips, Eskimo Joe's salad (Eskimo Joe's is a restaurant in Stillwater, OK--Ronnie's daughter went to college there...they had a wonderful salad that has rotini pasta tossed with Italian dressing and artichoke hearts topped with salad fixings that I try to replicate), and sausage rolls

 

Last night, breakfast to use up some leftover steak

We lost faith in Rudy's after comparing their brisket and ribs to those from the one-off joints, but I must say this makes me miss their sausage! 

[Tropicalsenior]

Tonight's dinner was a light one with cucumber salad, one of the best melons I've had all season (not shown), and a sandwich called choripan from Argentina on homemade bread. It's a favorite street food down there that I just fell in love with when we were there there some years ago. Usually, I have to make my own sausage for this but I got lucky and they had some in our local PriceSmart a (subsidiary of Costco). Unfortunately, mine doesn't have the beautiful marks that you get from an Argentinian grill.

And the sandwiches aren't complete without some good chimichurri sauce.
