Quote:Just to recap (does this make me narcissistic?)

 

Ribs turned out pretty good even though I think I botched the brine. Oh well, it was my first go at it.

 

Wings were very good and probably the favorite. I did the sriracha garlic, sesame ginger, and plain ol' Buffalo. Quick tip; if you ever have the option, go with smoked wings. They are the best choice, in my opinion at least.

 

The stuffed peppers went over well although it sucks making them. I'm not good enough with a knife to not make my eyes water.

 

Made a black bean salsa dip as well. Super easy to make and always derishous.

 

Mug brownies won the night. Did four "large" spoonfulls of Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate mix into a mug and microwaved for 1:15. Topped with ice cream and voila!

Nice.

 

On the peppers/onions  -  just sharpen the heck out of your knife. It's the friction in cutting that releases the sulfenic acids. The sharper the blade - the less friction.  :thumbsup:

 

Gotta' share another fun Asian wing sauce recipe with you.  Kinda' stumbled into this one just using what I had in the fridge but I keep coming back to it. 

 

1/3  cup Hoisin sauce. - 3 heaping Tablespoons Sambal Oelek -Thai Chili Paste - 1 tablespoon Chinese Hot Mustard - 2 teaspoons Chili infused Sesame Oil - 1 tablespoon butter.  Simmer and stir on stove before tossing wings in mixture. 

 

BTW.  I ate way too much yesterday and I have lotsa' leftovers to deal with. Might have to use that gym membership this month :teehee:
