Chocolate Marble Marsh Mallows



Marshmallows, you know, those puffy white semi-sweet things you sometimes burn over a campfire in a poor attempt at a s'more. I know you claim that you like them burnt on the outside, but if you're honest they taste terrible that way (have a s'more with me and I will learn you how they are meant to be). Well, those marshmallows, the ones from the store, are rubbish. Seriously, they suck. Above you see homemade chocolate marble marshmallows. They soft, fluffy, sweet, and chocolate all at the same time. I made them and they are incredible.

Mac N Cheese
















You can't get this out of a box. And seriously, that box stuff has ruined Mac N Cheese for entire generations. All it takes is a little know how, simple ingredients, and a lot (seriously a lot) of sharp cheddar cheese. Here you see the ingenious use of Mac N Cheese left overs, cut into slices, toasted under the broiler, and drizzled with a little homemade creamy chipotle sauce. It was good. You can't have any.

Slow Smoke BBQ 2.0


























Theory meet practice. Much thought has gone into this device, my backyard slow smoking mechanism. The heat retention and radiant nature of the terra cotta pot, the high smoldering temperature of natural hardwood charcoal, the high tech application of my duel read probe thermometer and a pot full of soaked cherry chips and chunks. It all comes together into a perfect days smoke.
