Contest! What winter!

baby back ribs - white zinfandel sauce.

Baby back ribs

The pack of ribs from Sams club:

Alton Brown rub, salt cut in half

On the MAK at 225F with BD "leftover mix"

Three hours later

Time for some Foil Love. Instead of Brown sugar I used a 1/4 cup of the rub, which has a lot of brown sugar in it. I also added a couple of glugs of white zinfandel to the foil.

After 1.5 hours, drain the liquid in the foil into the fat separator. Bring to a boil, reduce by 1/2.

Looking good!

Steamed some fresh green beans

Plated with the sauce made from the foil drippings:

Apple butter pork loin with scallop taters

Started with the taters – here are the stars of the show

Put the cream on to warm while I sliced the taters nice and thick

Then layered the taters, cream mixture, and cheeses (you can never have *too* much cheese!)

Put on the Memphis at 285 for about an hour. Meanwhile, got started on the pork. Started off with a ½ pork loin. Cut into 1“ slices and coated in evoo and then a heavy dusting of Little Louies

Then onto the Memphis. When IT hit 100 started making the sauce. Went with some apple butter that we made a couple of years ago, brown sugar, lemon, cinnamon, and ground cloves

Sauced at 120 IT and let them ride until 145. Pull everything off and tented the pork for a bit of a rest

They were both absolutely awesome! I have been tweaking on BP’s tater recipe and I have it to where Jan and I love it! Next, it was on to dessert – started off with a standard (if there is such a thing) dark chocolate fudge brownie mix

Cook the brownies as per the box (well, except for the addition of a bit of smoke for that added kick)

That is when things began getting interesting – cut out a good sized chunk and into a bowl

Then I added some cherries, fresh whipped cream, and some chocolate sprinkles – holy smoke, NOW I can’t move!

Enjoy..
