Sunday dinner. We've gone back to the Rotisserie, with a @smokeycarter.bsky.social Texas Ranch flavoured chicken cooked on the SNS Kamado with a chunk of cherry wood.

Two of my favourites from the Dishoom cookbook, Lamb Raan and Gunpowder Potatoes

Thank you!

Pizza night yesterday.

A pizza oven is such a good investment. The pizzas require such little effort, but the results are fantastic

They're awful roads and the reward for surviving it is just Peterborough 🤣🤣🤣

I wish I'd have known, I'd have popped over and watched with you. Only 20 minutes away from here.

It is definitely a long drive from you!

Did you go?

Using up left overs.

Chips with Bacon Dust, cheese sauce, @smokeycarter.bsky.social Lemon SPG fried chicken, South Carolina rubbed Pulled Pork from New Year, mayo, tater tots and Coney Hot Sauce.

Fried chicken time. We made a coating following Kenjis crispy chicken method and added @smokeycarter.bsky.social Lemon SPG rub for flavour. It's a great combo.

Then added a hash brown, two onion rings, cheese and lettuce

I need to try that this year

We served up a brisket for new year. Rubbed with @smokeycarter.bsky.social Gaucho Steakhouse rub before being cooked on the SNS Kamado.

Spent the day in Cambridge. It still sucks and the people are awful there. Went to Popeye's for the first time, I was impressed for fast food. Very crispy chicken

We made @jameshoffmann.bsky.social Tiramisu for Christmas and it was one of the finest we've had. Really gets the coffee level spot on.

Christmas left over pizzas are always a favourite. Pigs in blankets, with turkey and mozzarella ftw.

We had prime rib of beef for Christmas this year.

I'm still not a fan of it 🤣

I'll WhatsApp it

I've got a curing spreadsheet if that's of any use?

Look beautiful Ted. Did you add any flavour?

We're having beef as our main this year, but wanted to have some turkey too.

Jointed a whole bird and removed the breasts which are now dry brining and air drying in the fridge.

Then tomorrow night we'll pan fry them, add some butter and rub, then sous vide them overnight.

Comfort food before the big day.

Full English Jacket Potato

Cooked on the Weber GoAnywhere using the Smokerig.co.uk 100mm riser, their deflector plate and a Petromax loaf shaped Dutch oven to ramp up the cooking.

Then seasoned, lashing of butter, sausage, homemade jerk bacon, cheese and beans.

Beauties Ted

Annual full strip down service of our Gaggia with Gagguino mod.

All bolts switched for new .304 stainless steel with copper grease added to the threads. All o-rings replaced and lubed up with silicone grease. Scale wasn't bad at all. Upgraded the portafilter gasket for a new silicone version.

Going ferret shopping?

It's now just another scenario where she can say that she barely noticed I was there 😁

Wait until Barbara Windsor appears

Cooked up a BBQ/Thermomix curry this evening

We loosely followed the Butter Chicken Guided cook, but instead of marinading the chicken in the Tikka paste, we marinated it in @smokeycarter.bsky.social Spice Mango and Lime and BBQ'd it, adding it to the Thermomix for the final 5 minutes of cooking.

Christmas baking with the kids. These were Christmas Pudding Tiffins on the incredibly overpriced Thermomix.

Thank you

Last minute home made sausage rolls as my daughter's both decided they're the only thing they'll eat in their pack lunches tomorrow
