The food and drink thread

[K9Kirk]

I love a good Reuben sandwich and it dawned on me the other day that I've never had one where the meet was smoked so I smoked a 5 lb. chunk of corned beef for the first time and man, what a difference the smoke flavor makes! I don't mean to toot my own horn but that was the best Reuben I've ever had! Next time I make them I'll take some pics of the juicy, sloppy things and put them up.

Supper tonight was another chicken stir-fry but with a little heat kick.

Save yourself the trouble of smoking & just buy Pastrami or better still, Montreal smoked.

I appreciate that and I'm sure those are good but I have an electric smoker which isn't a pain to deal with like traditional smokers can be, the only wood used is for the chip box to create the smoke so you just put it on a heating element, set it at the temp you want and forget it. I actually like using it and getting fresh smoked meats that are dripping with tasty fat juices.

Mike, I am very glad you started this thread, and the fact that it caught on.
I do enjoy checking out all of the food porn!

Cooked up some chicken thighs long with peppers & zucchini from the garden for supper last night. Served with basmati rice.

I am starting to think you are the only one that eats physical food. The rest of us are solar powered.

The bread pudding looks very good. I made it last year from my Mother's recipe that uses heavy cream.

Thanks CheryIL. Five eggs & 2% milk in a 8"x8" pan. Included a cup of candied mixed peel & raisins which settled to the bottom.
