Quoted from Spyderturbo007:Smoked a chicken yesterday for the wife and I dusted with Cajun rub. It turned out awesome. If you've never smoked a chicken, I highly suggest it. They stay so juicy it's crazy.

What temp are you smoking at? I've done thighs at 275 and the skin was leathery. I read higher heat helps, but at that point, is it still worth smoking?

I stuffed it with quartered onions and potatoes to add mass inside. It seems to help it cook from inside out as well. I normally use onions and apples, but I didn't have any apples.
I started at 275 degrees and when the breast hit 140, I cranked up the smoker to 400 degrees and let it finish at that temperature. I also hit it with cooking spray every 30 - 45 minutes or so. That seems to help it crisp up and get that nice color.
This plate design reminds me of my childhood.
It looks like the plates my parents had when I was very young.

Edit: plate design confirmed by mom she wants to know where I got the picture from.
Edit #2 the gold designs on ours were maby slightly smaller.
I too have enjoyed quarantine cooking. If you have Instagram check out my food pics ne_pitmaster

Nice golden color on those rolls. And the tacos look stellar!
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Mushroom, sausage and onion omelet with smashed mashed potatoes

Looks great, goes with the plate ( where's the cheese )
Quoted from guss:Looks great, goes with the plate ( where's the cheese )
Oh there was cheese in the also. Can't have a omelet without cheese. I make my own marble cheese by grating old cheddar with Italian mozzarella.
Quoted from punkin:How many pizza recipes do you want?
It’s the one thing I never really cooked, living in Chicago area there’s always been a wide range of fabulous options delivered to your door.
Quoted from Jaybird815:It’s the one thing I never really cooked, living in Chicago area there’s always been a wide range of fabulous options delivered to your door.
You'd definately get sick of seeing the recipe 6 times every page then. Flour, salt, water, yeast.
Quoted from PanzerFreak:Baked macaroni and cheese, 1lb noodles, 4lbs cheese lol.
With that ratio, I’d say you’ve got yourself some baked cheese and macaroni.
Quoted from fosaisu:With that ratio, I’d say you e got yourself some baked cheese and macaroni.
Haha yes. I won't lie, I had some leftover cheese sauce that I then dipped Dorritos in.
So I went super fancy on dinner today. This is something my dad used to make as kids. It’s called mish mash. The beauty of it is you add what ever you want to the base. Base is beef (I use ground) fried potatoes and egg. Wife can’t have many different veggies so just corn in this one. My dad would put in mushrooms, onions, green pepper. What ever you want. Also, if any of you are allergic to garlic or on low fodmap diet. This stuff is amazing

Are people really allergic to garlic? Because that would really suck.
Yes. Garlic, onion, gluten, and a ton of other things. My wife has to be on a low fodmap diet. I pretty much have to make everything from scratch. You find things like that oil to make a difference. It’s tough but my stomach has been a whole lot better too

Interesting. P.S. Love the avatar, Clutch rules!
I made my favorite meal tonight, a Moroccan Tagine. It’s chicken stew with onions, garlic, butternut squash, diced tomatoes, carrots, lemon juice and coriander. It’s like a mildly spiced Indian dish. The best part is the juices, the combination of vegetable broth, coriander, lemon juice and diced tomato juice makes this rich earthy sauce.
Technically I should no longer post in this forum as I went back to the office a couple of days ago. Please forgive me if I should no longer post here.

A good introduction to curries for kids and a great way to use dried fruit in a dish. I still use lots of different dried fruits in curries and other stews since learning to do it in tagines.

Garlic is Awesome with everything.
Except Vampires. 
Quoted from o-din:Discounted beef from this morning on Oatnut toast from last month with cheese I bought in March.
I call this the covid melt, with corn and cheesy mashed potatoes on the side.

I like how you have taken simple ingredients and turned it into a good meal.
Quoted from chad:Garlic is Awesome with everything.

trust me, I miss it dearly. used to cook everything with fresh garlic.
Sirloin was on sale this week so did a big steak with mushrooms, salad and cheese garlic bread. Made a stir fry for lunch the next day with the left over steak.

They all come out the same the next morning.
The Digglers will be eating good this summer! I've been on the hunt for this bad boy for a month. Sold out everywhere. Turns out there was one in stock at a Walmart where the guy I was meeting to swap pins today is from. He was nice enough to go pick it up and throw it on his snowmobile trailer and drive 2 hrs to meet me. Wouldnt even accept some compensation. Man pinball people are some of the nicest guys.
It's a 3 in 1 gas and charcoal grill with a smoker. Best off, it has a griddle! Wife and I agreed on plans to rip apart the deck and I can build a bbq shed right on the deck just outside our door.

Tonight, it's bagged premium romaine salad topped with Pinkerton Avocado from my front yard and lots of fresh ground pepper.

Grilled New York steak with garlic cheese toast and a baked potato with just about everything I've got.

Where'd you score the four foot tall pepper grinder?
Quoted from fosaisu:Where'd you score the four foot tall pepper grinder?
Funny you should ask. About 20 years ago a buddy of mine and myself were at a pick your part junkyard and he pulled it out of the trunk of a Chevy Citation. I believe. The cashier gat a good chuckle and charged me a buck for it. It's been great!
Quoted from punkin:That's enough to feed me for 4 days .
No wonder it's so hard to get up off the couch in front of TV now.
Quoted from RVH:Thinking about lunch, maby I’ll order out today.
