coletrain27, do you ever melt natures butter and rice a few cloves of garlic in it and spread it over your bread and top with parm and motzie cheese then head it under the broiler @ 450 for a bit? Very nice side to the skettie!

Never tried it like that before but I’ll give it a try! I usually just slice it and put butter, garlic salt and parsley in it

Smoked brisket and gnocchi with spinach. Quarantine special

Wild caught

Sous vide thick NY Strip, garlic and parmesan jumbo red shrimp and stir fried green beans with garlic. I had done a whole NY prime strip sous vide for 8 1/2 hours, came out better than most prime ribs that I’ve had.

Forgot about my delicious St. Patty’s meal. Don’t care much for boiled tators or cabbage, so I did something different. Oven roasted carrots, baby potatoes, and brussel sprouts. Fried cabbage in bacon drippings. Insta pot the corned beef for 70 minutes. Even the wife ate her fill, which she never did before. Made up an extra corned beef for Reuben sammies. Yummy

Homemade ham and bean vegetable soup. Found a ham bone rolling around the back of the freezer. My hams are always done in the smoker and the bones and meat really absorb that great wood smoke flavor and carries nicely into the soup!

.

While I was making Denny O’s BBQ Swause and I had the smoker going with another batch of pastrami, then I was dealing a bit with my kraut and mader plants. Well just to keep em busy I grilled supper for “She Who Must Be Obeyed” and me.

Turkey thighs with baker taders! We love the way the thighs workout on the grill! Lol, sorry, I can give you the leftover pics, just no live shots. my bad, sorry.

If you’re not putting those taters on the smoker you’re missing out.

Ice Cap, I run a Weber kettle with many add ons and a GOSM smoker.

I learned smoking on the kettle and perfected it with my GOSM big block.

The taters were on the weber with wood chunks (Thanks Steve I) and a Slow n’ Sear mod. Never a tater that has anything on these, fer’sur!!

Yep a Weber and wood chunks will do taters just fine! I always throw a couple pounds on when the smoker is fired up. I smoke them until about half way done then remove them and cool then in the fridge. Cut them up and fry in butter with onions and peppers for breakfast!

Shoutout to Timmy. I tried his tortilla crust pizza. Turned out nice and crispy and our son had fun making his own pizza.

Ice cap would you mind sharing that recipe for the soup? i have a ham bound rolling around somewhere in the freezer too that i would like to use.

Im also gonna try smoking some potatoes! excellent idea

Put ham bone in stock pot and just cover with water. Simmer (don’t boil) for several hours to get most of the bone marrow out to create the broth. Keep the water level up don’t let it simmer down too low. I will sometimes add chicken broth instead of water when adding if I have some around but by no means is that necessary.

I usually purchase the dry beans and soak overnight or according to package instructions. I like the 15 bean mix you can buy it comes with a packet of powdered flavoring but I never use it. Only other spice I add is fresh cracked pepper. Lots of it because I love fresh cracked pepper but add to your own taste. Also some kosher salt to taste. Cut up your veggies. Carrots, onion, celery. I like to add some torn leaf cabbage as well. You can add potato if you want and this will create a thicker soup. I’ve done it both ways and think I prefer the no potato version.

Remove ham bone from the broth and let cool. Add the beans and veggies to the broth and continue to simmer. Cut all the remaining ham meat off the bone and return to pot as well and continue to simmer until veggies are soft and there you have it!
Notes:

You could do this in a crock pot as well I suppose but I prefer a stock pot. Better heat control on the stove.

I leave a good amount of meat on the bone when carving ham because I know that I will be making soup out of it.

If you like your soup a little thicker and not using potatoes you can smash some of the beans on the side of the pot with the back of a spoon and that will thicken things up a bit.

Oh I sometimes save a cup or two of the water the beans soaked in and use that to add to the simmering ham bone when needed.

that’s great ice cap! thanks! im gonna try this soon

My pleasure. Feel free to ask any questions when you start to get into it. I look forward to making this at least twice during the soup season it’s great stuff!

Went to the grocery store today to get burger buns and a few other things… and I forgot the burger buns! Remembered the other stuff, but left the damn buns at the self-checkout. LOL Guess my burger was just carb-friendly tonight. 😁🍔

Those look great! I love baby backs and been having a craving for them lately. I have two friends who both own sport bars and we have been trying to support them by buying takeout from both places. One of them has a much larger place and has a full menu and I ordered baby backs from him a couple weeks ago. They were not bad.

Yea there always tasty. Last time I made ribs I made a couple extra racks and vacuum sealed them. It works great that way because I can grab them from the freezer and throw them in the oven to heat them up and you got yourself a quick and easy tasty meal.

Through some strips on the grill. First time grilling this year!
