OK, I give up.

What is the purpose of the Parchment paper?

Just sitting on it while we seasoned them and warmed up the grill.

First time ever making Kung Pao chicken. It was easily restaurant quality. I even made homemade peanut butter for the spicy peanut sauce

The thread is Dinner Plans. Since this dinner is still 3 days out, I'd say that definitely counts as a plan.

I still need to work on my butchering skills though. I simply dont have the freezer room to buy/carve cows up for later, so this is for our end of the year poker dinner at the Zombie Poker Classic.

The menu - not pictured, the beverage pairings. All were excellent and complimented their dishes wonderfully.

Venison meatballs with elderberries and capers

Radishes 3 ways, mushrooms (was supposed to be scallops...for the surf and turf...but I'm allergic to them so they kindly subbed mushrooms for mine), and beef jerky crumble served over a horseradish puree

Cauliflower soup, whipped cream, and cheese balls. Yes, cheese balls.

Romaine heart with dill, chive, and parsley vinaigrette w/ fried parsley and white bread fried in butter

Ground jasmine rice porridge w/ mushrooms and a soy/maple syrup glaze. Best course of the night.

Grouper cheeks w/ pickled cranberries, cuban oregano, and pinto beans

Chicken breast w/ leeks over passion fruit puree

Beef short rib over pumpkin puree and a pumpkin mole (both from the guts of their halloween jack-o-lanterns lol)

Adorable cream and sugar presentation during our break before desserts. Not pictured: the puppy and giraffe.

Homemade baked ricotta w/ honey, oats, cocoa, and lingonberry puree

Heatless habanero sorbet w/ pickled apple and celery over habanero puree. Quite the mind bender getting the initial taste of the habanero w/ zero heat following. Our muscle memory kicked in and we were all bracing for the punch that never came. Crazy awesome.

Salted caramel w/ honeybear squash puree, pecans, raspberries, and a raspberry sorbet

Paw paw gummy w/ thai peanut chocolate tree bark. Incredible.

Sally's cookie. A tribute to an outstanding baker who is no longer with us.

Radishes 3 ways

Pickled, roasted and... fried?

Ground jasmine rice porridge w/ mushrooms

Was this also a shellfish substitution? I would think no (because it would put two seafood courses back-to-back), but wondering all the same.

I absolutely love putting my dinner selection in the hands of the chef. You get such amazing food that you would never dream up, and food that picky eaters will never allow themselves the opportunity to enjoy.

Correct on the radishes. The jasmine, mushroom, soy dish was not substitution

I bookmarked that post. It will be a great inspiration for future meals, as I believe I can recreate all the dinner items (but not the dessert - I simply don't have those skills).

Potato and chorizo tacos w/ tomatillo salsa verde

Cod picatta over couscous with sautéed greens. I out did myself on this one.

Recommended for dinner in San Antonio: Elizabeth Johnson’s @pharmtable , the new Carriqui by chef Jaime Gonzalez, and the renowned @mixtlicloud.

Any PCF opinions om these three? Maybe @David O ?

One of my favorite dishes to order at Perry’s Steakhouse is the pork chop. As with most things I love to eat, I attempt to make it myself to understand how difficult it may be so I can enjoy it more. Browsing around google I found a recipe posted on Reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/grilling/comments/fznkgr

The steps require a 3-4 day cure in salt and sugar followed by a 12-18 hour brine before you apply a dry rub and smoke it for about 4 hours. When done smoking you give the pork chop a nice sugar and butter bath before serving. Half way through I actually forgot I had the pork chop in the fridge but I remembered in time to put it into a brine. Yesterday was my 10 year anniversary and I didn’t have time to smoke the chop so I didn’t get to that until today. Total brine time was about 1.5 days lol

In the end the pork chop was still quite amazing!! I didn’t do a double or triple rib chop and instead settled for thick single rib cuts. I think I’ll be making this again in the future but with thicker chops

Octopus, potatoes, and black beans. Yum.

Had a couple of friends go fishing on Friday. They asked if I could make the trip but due to a busy work week for me and the wife, I couldn't go especially since someone has to be home when the kids get out of school. They had a great session and were kind enough to bring me back one fish for dinner I had my son take this picture for me, he cut off my head lol

We steamed the snapper with a bit of beer and stuffed it with green onions and ginger. My wife’s hand for scale

Once done we ate it as spring rolls. Yum yum.
