@Chap
Kohl und Pinkel
The tradition here is to make a good walk ( sometimes a few hours) with a good amount of beer and shots ( like Jägermeister or similar) before you return and a have the Dinner .

Yes we did that once with friends from Luneburg, kids (and beer) were carried in 'Bollerwagen' and the adults were throwing balls while walking.

@Chap
that’s exactly how it’s done

Grünkohl und Pinkel - you've said it all.

Santa got us an air fryer. This thing is a cheat code.

Here are some of our first experiments. The speed and predictability are game changers for a busy family. Taking tasks like roasting veggies from 45 to 8 minutes changes the art of the possible and mean more home cooked meals.

Did a lemongrass ginger marinade in a Vietnamese style on some wings, hit them for 13 minutes in air fryer mode, tossed them in nuoc cham, and then air broiled them a couple of minutes to get literally the best wings I can remember having, and we eat a lot of wings.

We are just getting started with it and I’m amped about the possibilities.

@Chap looks delicious. Are all dishes from one cookbook or do you use multiple books?

A @Giles recommendation. Great book. We use it a lot.

@Chap Glad you enjoy them. I’ll try to do a double batch this year and send some your way.

Jeez, those were hot Dennis........

Not hot enough to screw with us, but if lesser mortals were at the table, it would have been carnage......

We like to confit a head of garlic that the tip has been cut off as you would to roast it face down in a ramekin filled with olive oil, then mash it in a molcajete with coarse salt, which makes it easy to remove the paper. That is the basis for molcajete salsa and guacamole alike. Turns out the air fryer is good at expediting that process as well as any tomatoes or peppers to roast. The great thing about the air fryer is on days I normally couldn't be assed with the trouble of making these things fresh, or roasting my own tomatillos for a chile verde versus just buying tomatillo salsa, it changes the equation so we do a lot more scratch cooking.

Anyway, tossed some fries in the garlic confit oil from tonight’s molcanete salsa, then tossed them in a season salt from a burger joint in Memphis called Huey’s and some grated parmesan. This is kind of a Colorado thing if it had truffle oil.

Delicious enough to stand on their own, but of course I couldn't leave well enough alone, so tossed them in some pork green chile stew with some cotija and cheddar to make a sort of Colorado poutine. Not going to win any plating competitions, but that wound up being a rewarding choice.

@mclaincausey all of that looks amazing…shoutout to Huey’s and some toothpicks in the ceiling
