A sign related food subject......................................................................................

I little while back, I spoke about starting a food thread. Well, things got away from me, but someone reminded me of it recently, so here goes. Besides, my wife brought me some gourmet pizza and I felt I could start sharing with that.

Over the years we've all shared different things we eat from an old member dropping burritos on his lap, then to the floor and wondering if the 5 second rule applied to people eating huge amounts of whatever.

So, anything you'd like to share from local cuisine to people sending you meals for payment or whatever................. Let's talk about it here, in Gino's Kitchen.


ps.. and let's not forget, ya hafta have hot peppers with most things.

Dang that looks good Gino!
Last Friday a customer brought us a couple of pizzas. A "thank you" for a few rush projects we did over the summer. His projects are super simple, so it was no big deal, but free pizza delivered is always welcome!

Is it also for recipes? I have a mouth-watering recipe for "firecracker" sweet beans...they do really well on a smoky grill. They're loaded with bacon, green chilies and jalapenos....onion, sweet peppers, lots of brown sugar...and a few other goodies.

They're sweet on the tongue, but then proceed with a mild after-burn on their way to the tummy.

Not for the faint of heart, or for those spending long periods of time in polite company afterwards.

Here's a rhubarb/blueberry combo my wife made. Everything outta the garden and homemade crust. She doesn't make anything from a box......nothing.

I have no photo to share, but I was just snacking at work and one of my crackers just rolled across the floor directly under the boss's foot.
Not snacking anymore

[Okonomiyaki, Japanese for "as you wish". It is one of our go to meals.

From scratch Orange Chicken. If you like Chinese style orange chicken, make this. A bit putzy but it will stop you from ordering take out. Recipe is from Binging with Babish. Look up Sugar Chicken.(Rick and Morty reference)

What's gourmet pizza, you eat it with your pinkie up in the air.
Pizza is like sex, there is no bad pizza.

 

[Gino]

No, that would be snooty pizza, not to be confused with a boogie on your lip.

Just upper end cheeses and better meats on it. You're right, there is no such thing as bad pizza, if ya can add pepperoni to it. There is some out there that tastes like a miscarriage on toast, but we'll discuss those on another day.

Ribeye salad with garden veggies and homemade Dragon Pepper and Ginger vinaigrette. If you've never eaten Thai dragon Peppers they're akin to putting a hot coal on your tongue.

Here's one for Gino. Flatbread pizza with Capicola, fresh basil, Michigan peaches and Pepperjack cheese. Pic is just before going on the Akorn over a wood fire.

I cook stuff inside and outside.

Here's a couple dozen wing sections (i.e. a dozen wings minus the points) made while experimenting with a new Instant Pot Air Fryer combo, above a full rack of smoked and grilled spare ribs (untrimmed other than that hunk sitting on top).

Here's pizza from the "602 BBQ" (aka my back yard) Akorn Grill...

Today I got that gyro nottareal never got for me the other day.

You ain't lived until you've tried it. Sweetness tames the heat from the pepper flakes I use.

I lean on the Thai influence for some recipes, like the flatbread pizza: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Spicy and Bitter.

Always looking to try authentic cuisine. Nothing like homemade sauerbraten with gingersnap gravy.

It isn't a bad thing to look to other cultures for ideas. That's why I'm all over the place with my cooking.
Too easy to get into a rut, which means you make "fill" instead of food.
