throwdown

...and he knows how to cook them... (With apologies to ZZ Top (RIP Dusty Hill :sad:)) My wife came home from the grocery store on Thursday with a package of legs from the "Manager's Specials" freezer case. One local store takes meat that is approaching the Use By date and freezes it and then...

Or, MBFGGGB :becky: My wife and I have a little game that we play daily. She comes up with ideas for dinner an I figure out how to make them :-D It makes dinner time more like a cooking show :rolleyes: For yesterday's dinner she couldn't decide between home made gyros or burgers, so I made...

When Moose and Shaggy posted the Christmas Fatty TD, an idea popped into my head. Once I cleared that idea out I came up with one related to the TD :becky: This actually started before Christmas when I too about 25 pounds of competition pork trimmings out of the freezer to grind. I put...

I heard the voices calling for brisket. Brisket to me is like Eleanor to Randall Raines. So, against my better judgement (and because I haven't entered a Throwdown in a while), I did it. Trimmed and rubbed a 12 pound brisket. Let it sit overnight. I used SPOG. The plan was to go low and...

I never used to be able to find reasonable Tri Tip around here. Big box was $11.99/lb. Trader Joe's was $9.99/lb. All of a sudden our Sams is carrying it for $4.98/lb. Saw these the other day, remembered the TD and said I'm In! Now I had a bunch of creative ideas, Tri Tip Pastrami, Tri Tip...

So I was thinking about entering the Tubesteak TD. I was making a Queso Fundido so I got another idea that got squashed. I get my poblano chiles, a jalapeno, and some onions going on the comal (the onions and poblanos are head for the Queso Fundido): Side note so the pepperheads don't shoot...

This would have been created last week, but there was a Red Flag warning here. For my Asian BBQ entry, I chose a Pan-Asian route. The dishes feature spices and/or ingredients normally associated with Asian cuisine. One of the dishes comes from an area that is geographically in Africa, but...

No, this is not a misprint. It's my Chuckie cook for the TD! We start with chuck (this was the cross rib roast - not my normal cut, but what the hey?)... Season one with SPOG, and the other with a Garlic Rub I got in Gilroy.... You know the SOP for chucks: Bell peppers and onions, ready for...

Hey folks. I didn't want the dinner at our dining hall tonight so with the dog days throwdown going on I figured I would grill up some dogs with some chili beans and cheese. Just a few pics. Just some chili beans, red onion and cheddar cheese. Pretty simple but it hit the spot. I love...

Before I saw the new throwdown I bought these boneless chicken thighs. They were BOGO, so 6+ pounds for around $6. I do like thighs. I decided to make a marinade for them using vegetable oil, cumin, green chili powder, paprika, oregano, onion powder, garlic, salt, pepper and paprika. I trimmed...

On day 2, of 3 days off and decided to make some breakfast pizza. Per the special rules, I am stating that this is for the TD this week, and it is very much so cooked in a flat. Made some dough just after starting the morning coffee. Set the dough aside to rise, and started on the rest of it...

Long time no see! So here I was wandering through the aisles of my friendly neighborhood Walmart during my current visit to China, trying to think of something to cook up. There were certainly some tempting options between the S&M bondage crabs: and these guys: But then I...
