As always, presentation is top notch. AST understands all too well that we eat, first, with our eyes.

Thanks guys.

Picking up where I left off yesterday. Birria finished up around 10pm as EMAW was finishing business in Norman. For breakfast this morning, Quesadillas con Birria y Oaxaca. And of course consommé for dipping.

That Vitamix flex tho…

That Vitamix flex tho…

It was a top 3 motivator for me having a kid.  I could finally perform the mental gymnastics necessary to justify the purchase.  I made all baby food, right up to the penny where it paid for itself and then it became my Vitamix for my evil purposes.

I missed this thread so much.

Zuppa Toscana my wife requested.  Delish.  Fin.

Pick up Half Baked Harvest over the summer and have been waiting for cooler weather to try to put my own spin on some of the recipes. Set my sights on the Chipotle Corn Chowder today. My take on it was bold, sweet, & spicy.

I smoked all the vegetables. Substituted vidalia onions to get a nice sweetness. That was needed to help balance the dish as I added habaneros & serranos. Garnished as prescribed in recipe but substituted crema fresca for greek yogurt.

The result was better than I hoped for. This soup now sits alone at the top of my soup power rankings. Wife loved it as well, even with the pretty substantial heat. She took one spoonful out of pot and then filled her bowl with it and said she will have the Zuppa Toscana I made for her tomorrow.

Yes, I made 3 soups today. Those two and birria. It is #soupszn and the freezer needs some quarts for quick and easy reheat meals.

Recipe for the corn chowder? looks great. I love to spoke veggies, especially for salsa.

I can not find it online.  I will take a picture of the page in the book tonight and post it.

Just noticed the spoon. This could go in my "Reflections of SD" coffee table book.

That would be odd considering it's a reflection of AST...

I doubled the recipe.

Additions:
1 red bell
1 serrano chile
1 habanero chile

Substitutions:
Oaxaca cheese for pepper jack
Sweet Vidalia onion for yellow

Changes:  smoked all vegetables/chiles before putting them in their original point in recipe.  Nothing special about the smoking.  Rinsed them and put them into smoker.

I always struggle with chili. Its always just meh. Mostly because if my kids detect any "spicy" at all, they get pissed so I always dial it down too much and make it bland. I have a taco soup recipe that they like so I just end up making that more often than chili and I'll just throw some jalapeño in mine to crank it up a bit.

Getting very excited for chili and soup season though.

Stunz, you putting that in the chili drawer?

Made like 3 gallons of vegetable beef this weekend.

Eating hearty this week!

Crockpot SZN is back baby.  I'm making country style ribs and potatoes today.

[Stupid Fitz]

Recipes or GTFOOH!

I cube a 3 lb arm roast and Dutch oven @ 275 with whole tomatoes onion garlic salt and pepper for 2 hours covered and a few more uncovered. No need to brown first, uncovered in oven will brown

Then take meat out, throw in all the other veggies with some broth. Cook till carrots/potatoes are done then add the meat back.

Could raise meat with red wine also.

you could just toss in extra chili chowder in yours? but everyone should learn to love spicy food. add 1/4 a tablespoon of chili chowder each time. they won't know what hit them.

[catastrophe]

Chili chowder isn’t even spicy. My solution to the kids problem is adding a few fresh jalapeño slices on mine.
