Why?

well its not for tonight but it was so good I had to mention it... last night we made quick fried shrimp with sweet chili aioli, green lipped mussels with cream sauce, and lobster pasta. It was so damn good I think we are going to make the same thing again next weekend.

What am I having for dinner tonight? Well it won't be the huge batch of beef stew I made yesterday in the slow cooker b/c my kids ate it all.

Bolognese tonight

I don't have an appetite knowing we might lose Revis to the tampering Jets.

Even if they did tamper, the Pats weren't going to pay him $20 mil again so he would have hit UFA one way or another.

I made chicken tacos last night. My kids inhaled them.

Had a full turkey dinner last night, steak tonight

I smoked a port butt Saturday night overnight. We had that for after-church lunch yesterday.

Then, using some of the leftover pulled pork I made Hum Bao (Char Siu Bao). Delicious little dumplings. Kind of like an Asian Bierock.

Wow, they were delicious! First time I've tried to make anything like that.

Pork Chops!

Sounds awesome!!! I'm going to get a smoker when I move in to my new house...can't wait. How did you keep your temps steady overnight?

I have a Big Green Egg (I highly recommend for its versatility), which keeps a really stable temp once you have practiced with it and get it set up right.

I used to set my alarm and check in it every 3-4 hours overnight. For the most part, I would get up, it would be right and I'd go back to sleep, but every once in a while I'd need to make a small adjustment to one of the vents. Usually, though I'd feel like I should have just slept through, but every once in a while I'd catch it going too hot or too cold.

However, last Christmas I asked my wife for a BBQ Guru DigiQ DX2. This thing is freaking awesome, and they have kits for most of the big-name smokers on the market. You set the temp you want to maintain, and it keeps it at that temp via an electronic fan system linked into it. Since I've been using that, I just go to sleep and don't worry about it.

That's awesome. I really want to get good at smoking meat. My dads smoker is awesome...has a pizza stone and the whole bit...but I don't wanna spend $1K+ on a smoker.
