    Okay, this may not look appealing to some of you, but if you like Indian cuisine, this is what I made tonight. Chickpea and broccoli curry with some masala seasoned chicken added at the end, skillet fried in ghee separately.

    Doc tells me I need to get rid of the pasta, rice, carbs. I'm trying...
    BTW, this is a shallow bowl. I had two+ bowls.

    Looks appealing to me!! Serve me up a bowl please.

    Believe it or not, I just cooked the tastiest, most moist, tender and juicy pork butt I have ever done in my life.....get this.

    In the oven!!!

    I have a BGE, charcoal grill, pressure cooker, rotisserie and slow cooker. Tried all of them. Well, tonight, I was pressed for time and had to cook the PB before the storm arrived and power went out. (we obviously still have power)

    I didn't have time to look up a recipe, as I was cooking other items as well, and I didn't have time to go to the store to get anything. So, I made up a recipe in my head and went for it.

    Well, I'll be damned if it wasn't the best tasting PB I have ever cooked. I know what I did and it is (or should be) repeatable, but damn. The flavor was OFF THE HOOK good and the tenderness was on the same plane. Who knew you could do something so profound in a daggum oven?

    @treitz3 good on you!! It's rewarding when you do a PB out of this world. Mine gets requested from time to time. I slice mine, rub it and marinate in IPAs overnight. Put it on the smoker the next day in the IPA. I rotate it occasionally and when it starts falling apart during rotation, I pull it, let it rest then shred it or chunk it. Makes great pulled pork sandwiches, tacos and incredible carnitas.

    Hey! What the hey! I'm seein' an awful lot of chickpeas (better than pasta though) in there 🤣 I'm a hypocrite because I put a can of cannelinis in my big pot of chicken chili with salsa verde and green bell peppers and green chilis yesterday before the big snowstorm.

    What else would you expect with a dish called chickpea and broccoli curry? This was made with dried chickpeas. A 1 pound bag will be the equivalent of about 6 to 8 cans.
    Were is the pic of the chili?

    Exactly. Not trying to be the carb police though. Chickpeas (lentils 55%) are 57% calories from carbs. No the worst. You could probably try substituting chopped cauliflower (39%) for the chickpeas but I'm sure it wouldn't taste as good. I posted that picture once before. I'll see if I can find it. Nutritionvalue.org is a good site. You can even put in your recipe and it will give the macros.

    Well, I'm not on a strict keto diet or anything like that. Just trying to be more balanced. Chickpeas are far healthier than box pasta or white rice. For the entire pot of curry, I used about 1/2 cup of dried chickpeas, which is only 260 calories from the legumes, and it made about 6 servings of the stew. Trying to cut back on industrial processed foods as well.

    Weeknight no fuss meal. A pork loin cut down to about 6" long with some glazed carrots and roasted broccoli. Tried my hand at homemade creamed spinach as well, complete with some brie melted in.

    Drumstick Lollipops with homemade Alabama white sauce. Not pure white because I added some Lea&Perrins plus some smoked paprika.

    I've been doing them like this for a few years. I discovered the white sauce back in 2023 when someone recommended it as a good match to the butterflied/lollipop legs.

    Tried something new today. I cooked at a couple different Greek restaurants back in high school and college. Somehow, I never made Avgolemono Soup. Good stuff and it's healthy too. Feels like a cream soup, but the creaminess comes from an emulsion of eggs and lemon juice.

    Gas range...love it! I miss mine.

    When it comes to corn on the cob, if you have a Sous Vide corn on the cob? Man, 30 minutes later, you would have tasted the best you ever had. Soooo, so good.

    Enjoy your meal!

    So, as most of you know, I have a belly that can knock a grown child right of of her feet, if I swing around too quickly. It is what it is.

    I made hummus for the first time today (2 day prep and in the making).

    Good lawd, almighty, the BEST I have ever tasted. So smooth, so silky and with just the right amount of heat.

    I will have to be desperate to have some moving forward, when it comes to store bought. Daggum. For the first time making it from scratch? I can confidently say that there will be no issues moving forward.

    This is off the hook good.

    Speaking of that, I really need to buy some tahini paste. I was using it a lot back during the 2020 lockdowns, I somehow forgot to get more the last time I ran out.

    I'd actually like to look into making my own tahini paste. Don't know if it is economically feasable yet, but I will look into it. Pretty sure I have all the tools to make it from scratch, but I have not done a lick of reasearch yet.

    I just dined on it again, after a power nap. Daggum, thus stuff is awesome. Who knew something so healthy could be so good?

    Shelf life is a week, apparently. Not an issue. It'll be gone long before that time ever hits.
