Twice baked sweet potato, stuffed hot cherry peppers, chicken thighs with a homemade Bhut jolokia plum dipping sauce. Smoked and cooked on the Big Green EggMy wife would never let me put a Bhut juice dipping sauce on anything, even if it did have plums.
Kidding aside, what is a Bhut Jolokia?
Ha!

Bhut Jolokia, more commonly known as the Ghost Pepper. It was till last year the hottest pepper in the world. I grow my own. The components in the Green Egg are part of a system made by the ceramic grill store called the adjustable rig.Looks great! I like the inventive tier system you have there.

Hmm. Looks delicious. Maybe I should come down and pick up the pass in person!
(Seriously, I will be going to TO on the 27th/28th, and can pick up the pass on the way back to Ottawa if the pass is ready to move by then.)

That would have been great. I definitely would have fired up the egg and a cigar with you. I unfortunately have to work that weekend. Shift work sucks.

Wednesday will be dinner at the Capitol.
Thursday will be a surprise.
Friday will be steak night at home, probably tenderloins from Big Y on the grill.

Smoked sockeye salmon and overnight marinated smoked wings on The Egg.
The leftover salmon will go on bagels in the morning with cream cheese, tomato, red onion and capers.
The leftover wings will....Ha! Yeah right, leftover wings.

Mmmmm. Looks yummy.
What's the green at the bottom of the picture / bottom of the salmon? The topping looks like it has dill in it?
Perpetual Smoker
Ha! Damn good I tell ya.
You sir are correct, and thank you. It is dill, along with a bit of garlic powder, black pepper and fresh ground Himalayan sea salt. The green at the bottom is extra virgin olive oil. I find that with some wild caught fish you need extra fat, especially cooking low and slow. Without it the fish would be very dry, unlike cooking at a high temp over a campfire for instance, which doesn't need anything but seasoning.

Ah. Interesting. I come from a family of West coast salmon fishermen, and when my Aunts smoked salmon they would constantly drown it in soy sauce. (The natives used a brine solution IIRC.) The result formed a kind-of 'crust' of dried-out flesh that kept the moisture in, but the meat was too salty for my liking.
(Pan-fried salmon is my favourite. :-)

Today is wifey's b-day.
So, I'm doing a 3 hour smoke with chicken thighs. Prepped them by cutting off excess skin / fat. Poked the hell outta them with a fork, and applied all purpose rub. Let sit. Made salad, veggie tray, swiss chard / kale rabe. That's all done.
Got them in there on the 1st hour on the rack, just rub. Next hour will be in pans with some brown sugarwater, last hour has the "oh yeah" sauce on it.
I'm shooting for a better "bite through" skin this time. If not, it's still pretty tasty. Have the inlaws comin' over tonight.
And! I'm making a cake.

Homemade pizzas (as in dough and sauce) on the grill while my son mixed Mojitos as fast as I could get them down.
A toast and heartfelt thanks to those and their families who paid for the privileges I have.

Did a 2.5# chicken breast with bone in in the microwave. 7.5min per pound, flip half way. Guessed a soy sauce / olive oil marinade for under the skin.
Boiled rice / steamed broccoli. Yummy. The chicken carcass is in a pot now boiling to become broth for future use. Probably leek soup.
