Favourite mid winter cooks?
Over the top chili on the Kamado is my current favourite
1.5-2 kg gammon Into the slow cooker on a bed of thyme and sliced red onions, pour over half a litre of chicken stock, half a litre of water, cook for 6-7 hours on low. Throw in some peeled carrots sliced into sticks with a couple of hours to go. Serve with some mash, the carrots, the liquid and onions as a sauce (or make it into a gravy). Supposed to glaze with sugar and wholegrain mustard but I don't bother anymore. Leftovers make great sandwiches.
Or this with some homemade bread:
Cajun chicken gumbo
An authentic Louisiana casserole with Creole spices, veggies, ham and a rich sauce - a one pot-with bite

I am commuting daily to hamilton to work hands on (physical) in Ops as we are getting hammered around the country with absenteeism. Then when I get back to Akl I do my own job. This has been going on for three weeks. First day off the treadmill today.
So why I volunteered to cook the cake for a four year old's birthday .... i don't do deseerts Never baked a cake I must've been mad
Most stressful thing I have done in years. Took two attempts and 7 of Bach Brewings Supa Juice
The only instruction was he wanted a blue cake
(this is the recipe photo but it came out pretty close - bit greener than that rich blue but kid was happy and adults impressed. I didn't eat any but apparently mosit, airy and not over sweet)
Two take outs - cakes are really unhealthy. The frosting alone was 400gms of icing sugar 1/2 cup of butter and 200 gms cream cheese!!!!
I'm told blue cake makes your shit turn blue

I did a variation on this recipe. The main difference is I added an Americano coffee just after the tomatoes
Recipe is in the video description

Yes
Weber make great, long lasting products. We have a baby Weber Q that is over 20 years old and still storming along.
Sweet! It doesn't have a drip pan, do I just use the aluminium ones they sell?

Picked up a second hand weber spirit 210 in pretty mint condition for 50 quid, just missing flavorizer bars. Good deal?
I have a similar gassie which I never use, but it is extremely well made. U could probably pick up spare flavorizer bars easy. The drip pan usually sits in the middle of the que under the bars, IIRC there should be a little bracket and the fat is designed to roll down into it. You can buy aluminium foil weber pans or cheap copies from places like bunnings or Mitre10

Hamburger patty from the farm across the valley, home-grown tomatoes & lettuce, onions from neighbour. Topped with mayo & home-made tomato relish.
Bloody marvelous

During winter I often cook a puy lentil ragu. Roasted a chicken and served it on the ragu tonight.
Here's a basic recipe for the lentil ragu (I add smoked paprika, and then lemon juice and fresh herbs at the end. Maybe some white wine to deglaze, or some sherry vinegar.)
I use two cups of chicken stock and one cup of water per cup of lentils.

Any suggestions for a fairly cheap, portable charcoal bbq? Not sure I want to stretch to a smokey joe if it's only very occasional use...
