Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[bluemantra]

St Louis ribs today. It's 95F here today.

@goosehd looks delicious. What am I looking at?

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago Jerk Chicken and Rice from @Alex recipe the other day. It’s really, really, good!! I agree that it’s as close to the Caribbean as I can get without being there. Just need hot weather, a cool breeze, and a Red Stripe or two.

Did some fajitas tonight over an "open fire" before it gets too hot this summer. Fun cook, and they turned out great...

Crushed the chicken fajita before I remembered to take a pic, but here's the steak variety:

I ended up ordering a Weber Summit Kamado. Thanks for all the help. I would say this is my first real grill/smoker. Now I've got a new obsession

Last nights pad kra pao (+ green beans)

The Mrs makes some damn good wings but her pickled cucumber salad is just ️ she starts by soaking the cucumbers in vinegar and sugar then drains and adds fish sauce, sugar, lime juice and chili peppers

[endo]

Love cucumber salat and often do this one. Can I have your Mrs's recipe please @flannel-slut?

[flannel slut]

@endo happy to good sir. She does not measure when cooking but broke it down best she could….
-Thinly sliced cucumber
-40/60 water to regular vinegar (I asked if rice wine for this part but animatedly said, “are you kidding? Rice wine is expensive and we use a lot to cover all the cucumber)
-Sugar to taste (should be balanced between not too sweet but enough to knock back some of that vinegar sharpness)
-soak for 30 minutes to an hour then fully drain

finish off with:
Sliced Thai chili and cilantro
Juice of 1/2 a lime per cucumber
sugar and fish sauce to taste

really wish I could give you accurate measurements on this last part but she just kept shrugging and said “to taste… it’s his preference”

[endo]

please thank her very much. Will try and report.

Perhaps not the best place to share this but this I watched on a flight home last night and it’s amazing. @jordanscollected i think you would appreciate.

[jordanscollected]

@mclaincausey I watched this episode awhile back but I can't recall how I stumbled across it. When we ate at "Molly's rise and Shine" (same owner as Turkey and the Wolf) last time we were in NOLA, Mason Hereford came outside to walk his dog and I couldn't think of anything witty to say, so I just stood there looking dumb.

[mclaincausey]

@jordanscollected haha nice. Yeah that place is sweet (see below). I think he’d be completely down to earth.

[jordanscollected]

@mclaincausey oh he would. I'm over stating my lack of "something to say", he popped out the door and was walking quickly by. When i first went to Turkey and the wolf, it was still a the stage of "lines down the block before it opened" status, and he came outside and said hello to everyone and reminded up to remain calm and deal with the wait.

[mclaincausey]

Nice. Still haven’t been there, just Molly’s and only once. Itching to get back to NOLA, I am in probably the biggest gap I’ve ever had in my whole life getting back there. My friends just hit up the icehouse in Nashville.
