No more Morels this year so I made one. A little chewy.

It was a 'Foil Wrapped Supper' tonight. I had left over BBQ'd cured chicken thigh and some local asparagus and some nice California grown sweet corn. It's really warmed up so I decided to cook all on the BBQ. I wasn't in the mood for grilled asparagus and I hate corn cooked in the leaves as it gives it a flavor I do not like so it was aluminum foil to the rescue.

The base of that asparagus was the size of my thumb/I prefer larger asparagus as the 'thread' to 'meat' ration is better.
Thanks for looking. :tu
Well it's not for supper but it's going to be for eating so I decided to post here.
There was a sale on boneless skinless chicken thighs at a near by store ($1.69 per pound) and I'd cured and frozen one batch and was curing the other when I got a hankering to try making Chicken Jerky. So I pulled the thighs out of the brine and reserved the brine. Then I mixed up my usual seasoning mixture that I use for Beef, Deer or Elk jerky but I was out of the low sodium soy sauce that I usually use so I cut down the amount and used a dark soy instead. Once I had the thighs coated, I added some of the brine and let it set for a few hours and then I cut slices and got them ready for the smoker.
Ready for smoking, then slow drying:

Slow smoked at 120 degs with two pans of chips then dried at 110 degs.The dark Is Not Burned--it's just from the dark soy sauce.
I just removed the thinest pieces and the others will probably be done in a few hours.
The pieces I've sampled are a little salty but not too bad. Next time I'll skip the brine and use plain water to thin the seasoning down.

The flavor was spot on and I will be doing this again for sure
Fusilli with ricotta and a bit of prosciutto.
My serving had a healthy dose of black pepper. My daughter's not so much

Went for a rare out to dinner with my wife and ordered some Oxtail spaghetti.
It tasted alright but not spectacular but when I started getting some bones I mentioned it to the waitress. Tails have a lot of bones in them but I don't expect to worry about chewing spaghetti.:shrug:
No broken teeth or anything exiting but they didn't charge me for the spaghetti. Even then it was about 45 USD for the rest.
That's why I don't go out to eat very often!:rofl2:
A bit on the dry side, but still delicious, and perfect with a side of cold milk. I will have to try again.
Strawberry-jam brownies.
