[Chasin' Dreams]

Wow so many amazing meals on this thread. Everybody has been kicking it up a notch around here!!! Great to see and lot's of inspiration to try new dishes.

I've got a few to post lol so I'll start with a long time favorite of mine; the homemade Big Mac with homemade Big Mac sauce.

Chipotle candied baby back pork ribs (dry rubbed room temp, let sit for 3 hrs then into the smoker at 225 for approx 3-4 hrs with alder and apple wood smoke till a nice bark is formed, then glazed with a warm melted mixture of butter, brown sugar, honey, our own Big Leaf Maple syrup, herb and spice mix, then wrapped twice with foil then back into the smoker for another 3 hrs or so at 225. With twice baked stuffed potatoes (homemade maple bacon, cheddar and jack cheese, butter, sour cream and chives) and homemade melt in your mouth honey buttermilk/cream corn bread that I make with my own dehydrated home grown sweet corn kernels that I powder up into corn meal. Makes such a difference in the sweet flavor of the cornmeal rather than buying the old flavorless cornmeal from the store.

When you say stuffed game hen what kind of game hen exactly? Does it mean a game hunted Grouse or another hunted bird or are you referring to a small chicken?

Local Buddy of mine raises various species of game hens.
Some the Cornish type, others mostly African species.
This one was one of the latter.
Excellent eating!

Cheers

Not so much. Just for his Family and a few Buddies. I will ask if he will let one go next time I am out there...

Right on that would be great. I won't be settled in out there until the end of March but I'd love to source as much local farm raised food as possible. Maybe he would like to do barter style too for trades of something I make/sell? I make a few different things I sell or barter so you never know

Smoked beef brisket. Sorry forgot to take pics when I sliced her up. Was dry rubbed with herbs and spices and let sit at room temperature for a couple of hours then into the smoker at 225f with hickory and pecan wood for around 7 hrs or so until it got a good bark on it. Had a container of fruit juice in the smoker for some humidity and did spritz the brisket a couple of times. Didn't test the stall temp, just double wrapped it in butcher paper after the good bark was formed then back into the smoker. This one went another 6 hrs until the internal temp was 203 and the probe went in and out very easily. Was a AA brisket and it turned out very tender and juicy. Hard to find a AAA brisket these days but this one didn't let me down.

My kicked up version of a Nashville honey hot chicken burger. A twist on the standard Nashville type of hot chicken.

First I marinate the chicken tenders in buttermilk, garlic, sweet paprika, Thai chili, green onion, ginger, and light soy. Then the chicken gets double dredged in flour, panko, onion powder, garlic powder, sweet paprika, cracked black pepper and coarse sea salt.

Then for the glaze I mince some home grown garlic and onion very fine then simmered low and slow for awhile in butter, our bees wildflower honey and a little peanut oil (so the butter and honey don't burn). I then strain it and use the sweet garlic onion butter to mix in with some other spicier ingredients to make a delicious honey hot glaze for the crispy fried chicken tenders. With homemade pickles, homemade coleslaw and homemade fries, homemade garlic, chipotle aioli mayo dip and an ice cold lager.
