I'm imaging my dog going all super-primal (and attacking me), if I cooked some boar in the kitchen.

Those do look good.

I forgot to add that Boar Burger 2.0 was cooked in rendered bacon fat and topped with said bacon.

I've never made it. Is there a way to make it like real good?
It's pretty easy. I think its like 2 cans of chicken, some cream cheese, franks red hot.. my sister uses some ranch dressing in it too I think. The recipe is on the can of chicken and it is very easy to make. Its basically combine everything in a pot and cook.
The wife uses that recipe and she loves it. its not my cup of tea, but she gorges

I asked my sister and she said the recipe calls for bleu cheese dressing and thats where she subs in the ranch. I prefer ranch anyway.

Pretty much, yeah.

About two years ago, I had a hard drive failure (pre-Carbonite account......) and lost probably close to 300 notes, recipes and menus and whatnot. I've built a goodly number of those back up, but I still waived bye-bye to probably 100 or so files. For the past several years I've wanted to put together a cookbook for some friends, maybe 60-70 recipes, to give out as Christmas presents. But I always find a reason to put it off.

Journaling is also vitally important. I also maintain a scratch pad when I am conceptualizing a dish where I write stuff out in my own personal shorthand. Each dish usually takes 1-2 pages to write out, then I use a hockey puck to trace circles where I draw plating ideas. (This part is especially important to me, cos I have a pretty poor natural plating aesthetic; I have to really work at it.) Then I have a page or two of notes/critiques after we have the dish.

I call my journal "Gastronomicon". :lol:

You should throw those up on shutterfly and make yourself a nice book. I'd buy one, I quite enjoy looking over your stuff, would rather be eating it, but beggars can't be choosers as they say.

Tifosi should probably just do the logical thing and move to Pittsburgh, where he will play host for a select table of LGP sophisticates (and myself)

I do, but it's a mechanical failure; the drive takes power and spins up, but it just make a ticking noise and the platter never engages (or whatever the term is). Been told it's like a several thousand dollar fix that involves physically disassembling and reassembling the drive.

But I'm willing to talk. :wink:

For Father's Day dinner, I just started a crock pot of country style ribs.

The them sit in mesquite seasoning all night with some garlic powder, dash of Italian seasoning, and a very little bit of cumin.

Put 2 sliced jalepnos on the bottom of the crock pot and cooking the ribs with some apple juice, BBQ sauce (Baby Ray's Sweet n Spicy), and a few dashes of Worcestershire, soy sauce, and horseradish mustard. Cooking on low for 10 hours.

Will update on delicious factor at 6ish tonight (PST).

So, sort of by mistake, I bought some chicken thighs. I don't know what to do with them. Im a breast man (giggity)

I'm thinking chicken and gravy over biscuits maybe?

as a true american redneck, you have to have a smoker, yes? smoked chicken thighs are my favorite. Just add some wing sauce and you've got a winner.
