  • Blazing Pistachios & more Snow

    Giving them a few hours in the smoker. Running out of room for the snow and we are going to get another dump today. Just starting now.

    Blazing Pistachios
    From Seemore

    Ingredients:
    1 Tbsp butter
    3 Tbsp pickling liquid from a jar of pickled jalapenos
    3 Tbsp green Tabasco sauce
    1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
    1/2 tsp salt
    2 C unshelled pistachio nuts

    Directions:
    Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the pickling liquid, the Tabasco sauce, the Worcestershire sauce and the salt. Stir to blend, and then add the nuts.

    Make sure the nuts are well coated, and then pour onto a Bradley rack with a high-temp screen. If you don’t have high temperature screens use the Bradley Jerky Racks, or line the bottom of the rack with cheese cloth.
    Put in a preheated 225°F smoker. We smoked them for two hours with mesquite smoke.

    OK so I did a little different from the recipe, did not want to be tied to the smoker wondering if they are burning so I went with a longer time frame. 150 with the A-MAZE-N-TUBE-SMOKER which took almost all afternoon to do. The result was just great. Just the way I like them. :)

                  enhanced crack nuts...... pistachios: the only nut you will search around on the dirty floor for, after eating a one pound bag by yourself, and still can't get the monkey off you back.....
                  Once you go Weber....you never call customer service....

                    Haha!

                    I remember being in Turkey back in 1982. 30 day TDY, I was stationed in Spain. Anyhoo, we could get these wonderful cheap pistachios there in Turkey. They came from Iran I think, they were our friends back then with the Shaw and all that crap. They were salty, fat, and ohh so good. About 20 days into the TDY, one late night playing poker (I lost my ass, was new at it) I looked at my fingernails and wondered in my drunken state, "Why are my thumbnails almost gone in one spot?" Then I picked up another pist. Aha moment!

                    That's about the time Bill went missing we think. Next late afternoon came across the 'net' radio. "Anyone have seen Bill XXX please report to the OP". About two hours later Bill appeared. He had wandered behind the hut where we was playing cards to pee and fell in an open manhole cover where they was rebuilding the sewer, fell 15' and got knocked out, gashing himself pretty well. We was all relived they found him, he got 3 great scars from falling on rebar ends, but non stuck him him at least.

                    Glad I peed on the other side of the building, glad Bill was fine. Next year one of our guys fell into a drainage ditch on a bicycle he had stole from the NCO Club and broke his neck. Bummer.

                    Only have 2 more good stories from my two trips to Turkey. Then there is the one where a fancy 'new' F-15 started to pull into it's parking spot and it's wheel fell off and rolled across the Ol' venerable HERO F-4 area. A fight broke out. We won.

                    And the PINK WATERTOWER. The big, forgive me ladies, TIT rising high over the base.
