Pretty basic this evening - Chicken brochettes (Kabobs)...onion, tomato, green pepper, pineapple..,,,chicken marinated for 24 hours in some sauce wife keeps secret. Basted with butter on the Haibachi....about the only grill I can handle...a couple had some very hot pepper powder sprinkled on the. Green salad and rice were the rest of the meal. Tasty....basic.





I weedled the Marinade out of her:
1) rub salt and pepper into the chicken cubes....really work it in.
2) rub cumin into the chicken....again really work it in.
3) rub in a spicy red pepper powder.....work it in,
4) then add olive oil....don't put the oil first otherwise the spices will not penetrate the meat
5) add several chunks of garlic to the bowl....turn with hands.
Put in refrigerator overnight.

By the way, when salt and peppering steaks for a cast-iron frying pan searing stage, this flake salt is simple the best. Try it. Max heat...two minutes per side. Then finish in oven...or, I prefer to let it rest for 60 seconds, while pan cools down to medium then cook for 3-4 minutes per side depending on thickness...then rest 5 minutes under aluminum foil...

Fresh smelt:



Fairly important, as on a trout, to get this blood line out after you clean the fish. It scrubs right out with the wife�s toothbrush:






Dropped into a Dutch oven full of vegetable oil, out on the deck:



I use a mix of 50/50 masa herena corn flour and regular flour, beer, salt and baking powder for my beer batter. Plated, with garlic mashed potatoes and a garden salad, along with my regular dinner wine-PBR, in the can.

Good stuff.

You use her toothbrush Ted? Why not be a gentleman and use your toothbrush instead?? RWTF

I never ate anyhing with my smelt. Only a beer to wash them down.

Smelt looks good. Anything small and fried is usually good. I'm doubtful about whose toothbrush gets used? If true though, you're a braver soul than I...Geo

Cool. I used to be that guy, like 40 years ago. Now, I have a wife that can make mashed potatoes that will bring a tear to my eye, wondering how the poor folk are doing.

The toothbrush comment was a joke. I figured it would go over a head or two, and, it did, one head for sure.

I keep waiting to be surprised at who doesn�t get it, but, that never happens.

"Weedled it out of her"?? Wheedle might be the correct term- as Hannibal Lecter said to Clarice Starl ing-- "Old Jackie -boy sent you back for one last "wheedle".. RWTF

I have not the faintest idea what you are babbling about. This is not the first, and will likely not be the last time, either.

You miss-spelled the word "Wheedle" not a word found often in today's parlance, I should guess-RWTF
