Smoked a brisket for some game day sandwiches. Wings and poppers were disposed of too quickly for a pic. ?

Looks great...is salsa fresca the same thing as Pico deal gallo?

I have no dang clue, honestly. On the recipe I was referring to while making, it was called Salsa Fresca. My roommate called it pico too so pretty sure it’s the same thing

My wife took boneless pork chops and coated them with panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic and oregano and cooked them in an air fryer at 400° for 12 minutes. I wasn’t really expecting much. 
 

Holy crap, were they good! Crispy, juicy and full of flavor.

M little electric Bluetooth smoker bit the dust close to 3 yrs ago. I finally replaced it with a pellet smoker. I did a batch of chili mac for a first smoke. The wife wanted a meatloaf so I did one stuffed with mozzarella and spinach. I also did my first cold smoke on some cheese, jury is still out on that one as they have been vacuum sealed and need at least 5 more days.

For the big game I smoked some cream cheese with a cinnamon sugar rub and topped it with some homemade strawberry jam and fresh cut strawberries. This was delicious spread on a graham cracker with a drizzle of caramel syrup. It was my first time trying it but definitely wont be the last. I also did a Boston butt for 12 hrs and forgot to take pics before I pulled it.

i've been eating way more veggies these days.  

 

i did sear a small steak to share with the wife.  i used the hotass pan to char some broccolini, and the prerequesite sauted mushrooms.

.......and the best way to use up leftover veggies???  easily a FRITATTA!

 

I find them most delicious cold or room temp, so I make it the night before to eat as an office desk breakfast.  super easy.

Omelet....

Omelet....

true... but you can get way more veggies into a Frittata which oddly taste EXACTLY like an omelette to me.  I had an obscene amount of veg in mine..nothing I could successfully fold into an omelette.  not with my skillset.

I visited a friend in San Diego.  Huntingest, fishingest person I know.  He got done spiny lobster and gave me several. I stuffed them into my computer bag in a soft cooler and flew them home.  Even the TSA guy was impressed.  
 

I grilled them.

I jones for the pizza I grew up eating in Chicagland.  There's nothing like it here in West Virginia, so I've been trying on and off over the years to recreate both the thin crust and deep dish styles.  I'm getting close.

Sunday morning breakfast. Hash browns, eggs over easy and some wheat toast.

Going to smoke a rack of pork ribs today with the good old 3-2-1 method except for the fact I don’t mop or sauce the ribs on the smoker.  I like them dry smoked and then dipped for sauce.  Only negative is that the sauce has a totally different flavor profile if it is cooked on the meat.

My ribs did great considering it was 39 degrees all day.  Did the 3-2-1 method of smoking and used cherrywood.  Also smoked some baked potatoes and they were good.

Nice. It was 25 degrees here this morning for the first day of spring?. I have a pork shoulder to slow cook later today once it gets more spring like.
