Recipe Fridays: Super Supper Sunday #5

Heh, what a coincidence!  This is Super Supper Sunday #5, and the theme was… Cinco de Mayo (May 5th), since it fell on the Sunday of the week of May 5th!  (Yes, less than a week ago.)  Okay, I amuse myself greatly with small things   In any case, I decided to go with the Mexican theme, even if this isn’t authentic Mexican, it’s delicious… First up, of course chunky homemade guacamole!  Nommm.  Slightly less my favorite but still awesome, pico de gallo (this photograph is actually from the first attempt, which I didn’t think was very pico-like.  After a [...]

Beer Boor Recipe Fridays: Super Sunday Supper

In the spirit of Feisty Foodie, I cooked up a Super Sunday Supper of sorts for Easter, with a brisket on-hand of nearly five pounds. My smoker, a stovetop cast-iron behemoth from Emeril, can’t handle a slab of meat that size. What to do, what to do… oh, let’s smoke half and braise half! First off, I dry-rubbed both halves of the brisket in a combination of kosher salt, fresh-ground pepper, white pepper, paprika, and a few dashes of cayenne pepper. I don’t measure these as much as I eyeball it, weighting it heavily toward the salt and fresh pepper. [...]

Recipe Fridays: Super Supper Sunday #4

A little oddly spaced, this Sunday Supper was during my spring break, so I thought I wouldn’t need a ton of leftovers to work me through the week – but then I realized I planned on staying home all week to work on stuff and actually needed to eat…  First, I dyed eggs and then silly me, almost immediately made deviled eggs out of them just to munch on – I love these suckers.  For the dinner portion, I made ribs, roasted broccoli, and the best damn creamed spinach you’ll ever eat in your entire life.  Here’s a closer shot [...]

Recipe Fridays: Super Supper Sunday #3

Super Sunday Supper #3 happened to fall during the same week as St. Patrick’s Day, so of course… I made corned beef!!!  Pretty easy; you just buy the thing and stick it in the slow cooker.  Right?  Right… nom nom nom  Look at that glorious fat cap.  I totally cut that off before I ate it, ahem.   Roasted broccoli in all its glory!  I eat this stuff like candy.   Mashed potatoes… I should have roasted them but I was feeling lazy and wanted something to just shovel in my mouth with less chewing =X  My final plate in all its [...]

Recipe Fridays: Super Supper Sunday #2

You know how I love soup… well, this week’s Super Sunday Supper started off with ribollita.  Extra cheesy, extra delicious, yummy!!!  Since I’d enjoyed the brussels sprouts so much from last week, I decided to make them again, only this time I added potatoes, onions and whole cloves of peeled garlic.  Delicious! Because I can?  Cabbage roasted with strips of bacon laid atop each wedge.  Holy crap.  You have to try this if you can.  But the total plate?  Pot roast, roasted cabbage, roasted brussels sprouts with garlic, potatoes, bacon and onions… Close up of this gravy that was like [...]
