Thanks! I was up late last night googling “round cast iron griddle images” trying to solve the mystery. This might find its way into my Amazon cart. Sweet price, nice size.

It looks round, so I guess that eliminates the Challenger Bread Pan bottom piece.

Green Curry Happening. I thought I would make it ahead of time to let the curry seep into the chicken pieces.

From what I can tell they are the sane item. It’s really a good deal. I just ordered one this morning.

I think it's the same. Identical markings on the bottom as well, if you scroll through all the images in the Amazon listing. It's been in may cart since this morning....

Thank you Lady Belle and Mr. M627! I hope you both post pictures here of your pancakes cooking on your new Pizza pan/comal.

Chorizo Breakfast Burritos.
We love these flavor bombs on the weekend.

Mexican Chorizo, onions, baby bell peppers, mixed cheeses, chipotle black beans and soft scrambled eggs. Topped with chunky salsa, chipotle aioli, kaki mochi crumble (yes I know its not Mexican but it sure works), cilantro and chipotle sauce.

Still on a ramp roll. Simple lunch... Salad and beef tenderloin with ramp butter. I live for spring products.

Yeah, that looks awesome! Completely appreciate the ramp obsession. :)

Speaking of Spring, found myself in that Sunday Springtime sweet spot between winter cold and summer scorch. It feels like fall but with hope around the corner rather than gloom. So, perfect weather and timing for, once again, firing up the offset . . .

Image
Horizon Offset Cooker
Firebox loaded.

Image
Starting The Fire
Lump charcoal, extruded coconut husk charcoal, a smattering of natural foodservice briquettes, a few chunks of apple wood and some tumbleweeds. Got this going and let it burn for a while, then added some logs . . .

Image
Firebox
With apple wood logs added and heading toward embers, this fire was just about ready to go.

It's not my favorite for smoking but it was up in the rotation, so I slathered and seasoned a shoulder . . .

Image
Seasoning
Yellow mustard, bone-in pork shoulder and homemade =R= brand bbq rub. :D

Image
Rubbed & Ready
Fully slathered and rubbed, this went into the cooker . . .

Image
75 Minutes In
Recently spritzed with apple juice/cranberry juice/apple cider vinegar. Was burning at about 275F at this point.

And with the haunch on the cooker, it was time for a little side-dishery . . .

Image
Cauliflower Gratin Mise En Place & Matsubara Blue #2 Nashiji Funayuki, 180mm
Half & Half (would have preferred milk but the carton was puffy), dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, minced garlic & ginger, leftover carrot, unsalted butter, and fioretto. Normally, I like to save the fioretto for stir-fries but a gratin felt right and this was all I had on hand.

Sauteed the garlic and ginger in butter for about 30 seconds. Once they were aromatic, I added the carrot and cauliflower. Once slightly soft, I added the half & half and dijon. I also added some white wine and a blob of 4x gelatinous pork stock (neither pictured above). Let that all simmer for a short time, then transferred it to a ceramic baker and baked it at 350F for about an hour. After about 45 minutes, I topped it with a mixture of grated cheeses, butter and panko -- to form a crust -- then let it finish baking . . .

Image
Cauliflower Gratin
Veggies are healthy, right? :lol:

It was getting late, so after about 5 hours on the smoker, I decided to wrap the shoulder in butcher paper (aka crutched it) and return it to the smoker for a couple of hours. The final result was pretty good . . .

Image
Pulled Bone
After ~7 hours of combined cooking, the bone slid right out.

Unless we're planning sandwiches for a larger group, I usually don't do a full pull/saucing. There's no reason because leaving bigger pieces keeps it all moister and allows everyone to apply sauce as they like. The leftovers also keep better in bigger pieces. But dinner was well received . . .

Image
Plated Up
'Tugged' pork with NC-style vinegar sauce, cauliflower gratin and a blob of the weekly slaw.

Happy Sunday! :)

Half of cooking is thinking about cooking.

Impressive Mr. Suburban!

Here I was proud to manage a steak on the grill. Got it to temp I wanted on the indirect side, but over the coals didn't finish like I would have preferred. Maybe I didn't leave it there long enough. I just remembered the last time I did a reverse sear, I used the oven then finished on the starter with a grill sitting on top of it. Guess I didn't remember that part, cause that finishes it quite quickly.

Family in Canada visited for the first time since the plague, brought along some treats from the Great White North.

Cornbread w/ jalapeños, dried anchovy, and most importantly here, maple syrup in the batter and to serve.

Not the most telegenic vessel; had run out of plates.

Enjoy, that looks great, and I’m glad you were being visited by family after a long wait. Certainly your food, and the visit, were a great treat. We all enjoy and appreciate good people and good food.
