Wow, looks delicious. Messy be thy favorite desserts.

Mrs. P made a decadent lobster Thermidor. Details and pictures in the main WFD thread below.

Mrs. P made guacamole with chips to start. We also had country ribs with a dry Cajun rub and beef ribs with a coffee rub. I topped mine with thick and spicy bone suckin sauce. We also had TJ’s sweet potato fries. It all went great with an excellent French Syrah.

So this is bubbling on the stove right now. I like to leave it to simmer for a long time. Just before dinner I’ll add the shrimp and serve with white rice.

I don’t make gumbo often, but when I do it’s more like a chicken, andouille, and shrimp stew.

Mrs. P made smoky and spicy Andouille sausage, peppers, and onions. It was delicious as always.

Posting my leftover toaster oven meal to ask about concolon and socarrat, the almost (not like mine) burnt parts on the bottom of the pan after making rice or paella.
That there are names for it indicates that others also have an affinity for well-done, crispy rice.
The photo shows well-burnt rice. I want to find concolon or socarrat in the wild. Not so burnt like tonight’s dinner.
There was lomo saltado under the burnt rice.

Shredding. Beef and Chicken.

The almost finished product. This all came out of a yearning to cook stuffed peppers for the first time, GF dislike of ground beef, and a random jar of TJ Hatch green chile salsa.

Nice looking peppers!

In my experience, the best way to eat stuffed peppers is when they are almost falling apart. The stuffing is unimportant and I’ve made veggie, meat, meat and rice, veggie and rice, and whole grain.

Try a combo of ground pork and ground beef and Italian Arborio rice from Lombardia. Always a success story …

Just about to pop in oven. Will definitely be cooking these to falling apart stage. And yes I will probably do some experimenting.

Have to ask about the “stuffing is unimportant” part. Why not just make roast peppers?

Turned out pretty good. Going to add these to the repertoire. Also partly inspired by @paryzer for his mention of the Costco? version in the freezer thread.

True. What I meant was that whether Hungarian sweet and sour style ( I use raisins and stuffed olives ), or Mexican style with a chipotle-based spicy sauce, or any of the other myriad styles, any mixture you use for filling can fit any style.

I like to do stuffed onions & tomatoes along with the peppers. Breaks it up a little.
