Brian - excellent first cook! I also did ribs for my first cook. You said the neighbor liked them, how about you? They look great!
Mike - excellent yard bird! Love smoked chicken! Have you ever tried smoked chicken with some Alabama White Sauce?
And chicken salad with smoked chicken! I bet that is great. I have not done that before, will need to remember that when I smoke some chicken again.
I only cooked on Saturday this weekend, made Beef with Brocoli - used some flank steak I had from a Costco purchase, love getting two of each cut in the package. This was a great dish! Wonderful flavor, I probably should have added some mushrooms to this, that really would have brought out the Umami in the dish!
Also made some Kim Chi on Sunday, getting some ready for some Korean Bulgolgi tacos as well as bibimbap at some point. Made Napa Cabbage style as well as KKakdugi (white radish). I usually make about 6lbs of this but this was what I got in the grocery pickup, so will have to make some more at some point.
