So.... I assembled my casserole on teusday -- half a bag of egg noodles on the bottom of the pan - mixed can of cream of mushroom soup, can of my homemade broth, bag of mixed veggies, chopped up smoked breasts and half a bag of slivered almonds.... I HAD to get the almonds --- they put such a satisfying crunch in there! I was amazed that it all fit in my casserole dish --- I was betting I'd have some left over. Attachment: 20221122_175335.jpg It smelled sooooo good as I was mixing it.... Got it all together when I noticed the onion still sitting on the counter.... DAMMIT!!!! I diced up ~1/3 of the onion and just threw it on top. Cooked it up last night - into the oven @325. I checked at 30 minutes..... I was horrified to see that it WASN'T bubbling!?!?! And even worse - there was NO liquid in the noodles!!!! Panic mode set in - I added ~1/4 cup of water by poking holes thru the mix and pouring it in. Another 15 minutes and no change..... so I added another 1/2 cup of water. 20 minutes later I could see the liquid bubbling in the noodles and the mix bubbling on top --- so I topped it off with some crushed ritz crackers. Attachment: 20221123_193949.jpg Turned nice and tasty!!!! But..... due to my mistake of not having enuff liquid in there and the excessive cook time - I had blown all the smoke flavor out of the dish It was just a 'really good chicken casserole' instead of a 'killer smoked chicken casserole' that I was shooting for..... Lessons learned and hopefully not forgotten.... add more broth to the mix - one can was not enuff and/or add more broth to the noodles so they cook from the get go..... I've got more than enuff fixings to make another one after I get sick of this one and crave it again. I'll be having plenty of turkey to use soon too!

no cooking for me lol Yeah ---- almonds in casseroles was mom's signature!!!! Water chestnuts work good too --- just something to give it a 'crunch' instead of mushy..... makes it really nice! I had planned on using stovetop stuffing for the topping, but being that I have 'many' rolls of crescent rolls, I figured I could get by with just some crackers for crunchy topping.... in hindsight, since I screwed up with the amount of liquid --- it was a good thing

I brined the wings for like 18hrs. Seasoned them. On smoker for about 1.5 hours at 225. About 20min at 275 for a bit of crisp at the end. Sauce is a base of butter, season for spice. Honey and brown sugar, fresh garlic. And then your gochganjg sauce. Pretty simple. They are incredible!

Our Thanksgiving plans fell through but did our cook today. Picked up a NY Strip loin roast that Safeway had on a half off sale (paid $46, was $93) Did a reverse sear on the Kettle today. Came out really good.

Damn Damon --- that looks so tasty!!! You've inspired me again to make popovers --- something I've been wanting to do for a while now that I have stocked back up on flour and other baking goods - I've got a bunch of chicken broth that I jarred up that would make a killer gravy to dip them in!!! Damn deal on crescent rolls has made it too easy not to make popovers....
I've been switching back and forth between turkey sammys and chicken casserole for the last two weeks --- finally finished up the casserole last night.... and I'm already craving it again ---- it was that damn good and I've got turkey I can use up too!
Tonight is going to be a burger in the cast iron.... got the craving for beef with ketchup and mustard. Too cold to smoke up the meatloaf in the freezer....
I picked up a bag of spuds for Tday with the intent of making some mashys and hasselbacks.... still haven't done it yet. I've been loving roasting the diced spuds in a cast iron pan in the oven with SPG --- they have been turning out soooooo good --- so much better than trying to fry them in the pan! NO burning and even browning and crispyness!!! Got some going right now to go with a couple of fried eggs....

Planned on making a burger tonight, but when I took the pack out of the meat drawer at 5:30 it was still frozen after two days So after a lot of consideration, plan B was popovers and gravy with leftover turkey.... damn you Damon.... You have to tell me your recipe..... tonight I used 3 eggs, 1c flour, 1c milk, salt and ~2T oil - 400 for 15 min and another 25 at 375.... Attachment: 20221204_195734.jpg Not bad.... but still didn't 'pop' enuff like mom's used to. I don't know if its because I'm using a 12 hole muffin pan.... mom used glass ramekins. I don't want to go buy a popover pan or even a 6 hole 'big' muffin pan, but I may have to - my best guess is it needs to be deeper to get the big 'pop'. I preheated the pan with ~1.5t of tallow in each hole.... damn if when the were done there was still lots of tallow in each hole..... Shows me that you really don't need that much. Gravy turned out really good --- split the popovers and poured the mixed turkey and gravy over them.... NICE!!!! The flavor and the texture of the popovers brought back some awesome memories! I just need to figure out how to get the size now.... I made it thru five of them tonight....
