Wake and prep - Super Bowl Cook

[chisoxjim]

Got motivated this a.m. to put into action the Super Bowl eats, got my mind right and got to work @ 6:30 a.m.

Gonna have both kettles out fored with what I have on hand, some lump, some blue bag, some apple,& some oak.

knocked out a herbed paste for the lamb ribs(lemon juice, rosemary, olive oil, garlic, tumeric, majoram, black pepper, kosher salt, old bay), :






rubbed some bb's:



got some sausage to stuff some mushrooms with:



waiting for the wife to get home with the kosher salt so i can brine some wings, and gotta do up some bleu cheese dressing still.

Looks like you are mighty motivated today. I had my alarm set for 5:45 to get rolling on my bacon but that didn't happen. They went in the smoker at 8 instead. Oh well it will just be a later night then I wanted. Have fun watching the game. Sounds like you have a nice spread going.

lol, my teams are out, just an excuse to do a few different meats.

I was lucky to be up, I almost went back to bed, but I knew I needed those couple of hours for flavor.(ideally I would have done some last night).

money:





lamb ribs, somehow missed a pic of a bone, or inside, nice ring, juicy as hell:



wings were brined in a basic kosher salt/sugar brine, Arthur Bryants rub. smoke roasted and crisped up over the flame. Texas Pete and some butter as the wing sauce. Homemade bue cheese dressing, with a popping blue cheese from Cali.:

blue cheese:





wings:





Pork ribs were fantastic, starting to prefer them at a higher temp, tender with some tug. Wings were good, glad I did a short brine, blue cheese dressing was funky and as good as any I have had, matched with the wings well. Mushroom caps were a hit as well.

sorry for the delay, thanks for looking.
