Wednesday, Feb 21 eats. Let's get this party started!

I haven't cooked or eaten dinner, yet. But I am smoking some wings (flappers only) on the ember Kettle tonight, since the weather is awesome. Just seasoned with SPG (salt, pepper and granulated garlic). I'm using hickory chunks for smoke. I smoke my wings hot and fast -- 300F. They take in a lot of smoke in a shot time. I'll try to post up some pictures later (as they used to say on the news, "Pictures at Eleven").

I had a big lunch, so I had a PB&J, chips, and a mandarin orange for supper.

I had it easy tonight. This afternoon I roasted a chicken for SO and she made chicken pies for dinner and did the clean-up afterwards.

3 Flat bread pizzas. N'duja with onions/garlic, fresh moz and Pecorino Romano; Margharita; and a sweated leeks, fresh moz, Pecorino Romano, and prosciutto.

Pic is of Margharita and leeks/prosciutto, which are the ones I ate. Craig's n'duja pizza looked deadly so I passed. He said it was really good though.

Meal sized salads heavy on the broccoli, w/romaine, apples, tomatoes, pickles, red beans, wheat berries, and a little seasoned tempeh. Dressing: ranch, cashew based.

I eat a lot of PB&J sammies. I am a crunchy PB guy, and prefer strawberry preserves for my J. I've outgrown a lot of things, but at 62, I still like PB&J -- sometimes at 2AM if I wake up hungry.

Smoked chicken wings done. I like using the kettle grill for this so I can put the wings skin-side down at the end directly over the coals to crisp up the skins. Otherwise, smoked chicken can have rather rubbery skin. You can also smoke wings on a regular smoker, and pop them onto a foil covered tray, and put them under your oven broiler for a minute or two and get the same crispy skin.

A bowl of minestrone, the last of some frozen blueberries, and Lil’ Dutch Maid Windmill cookies from the $tore with a small glass of ice cold skim milk.

I reheated the last of the oksekød med kartoffellåg that we had on Monday. That reheated perfectly. I served it with the rest of the Southwest inspired salad on some lettuce with some Portuguese EVOO and some balsamic de Modena vinegar. That was an excellent leftovers meal.

Wednesday? Leftovers from Tuesday. I made enough for 2 nights. The hotdogs and cabbage salad. Wasn't bad - I think the cabbage salad was even better since it marinated overnight!!!

The one bad thing about smoked chicken is that it does not make good leftovers. The smoke flavor is good when it is fresh, but by the next day, that smoke flavor gets rather stale. The skin gets particularly unpleasant.

Smoked turkey is perfectly fine to use leftover. We have 2 favorite recipes, a smoked turkey, wild rice, vegetable soup, and we also use it in a hot brown open faced sandwich even though traditionally roast turkey is used. Both are excellent uses for leftover smoked turkey.
