    That's a fine line for me...even though it is slightly acrid, I rather enjoy a burnt edge or two on toasted nuts. I love to pan toast them.

    I took advantage of the nice weather and baked an apple galette in a Darto N27 paella pan on my kamado this afternoon.

    Cold and overcast today. Perfect to get a pot of chili simmering on the stove top.

    2 of the pans got some love today. We used one for some bacon & the other for a Dutch Baby pancake.

    What is that potato looking stuff? Seeing the way you usually eat I figured you were keto or low carb...so if that is a tater alternative I want/need to know. I'm back keto as of today. Any pro-tips are appreciated.

    Looks like some kind of squash, if I had to guess.

    No, it's potatoes. Thanksgiving day kicked off the start of a cheat weekend. Back on the wagon Monday.

    Shredded cabbage with a couple of eggs mixed in seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder is my usual hashbrown substitute.

    I like radishes for hash, they fry up way better than I ever imagined, along with some corned beef. Totally gonna try that hashbrown substitute though.

    And simmering.....basically all of the onions/celery...and most of the green bell pepper dissolve into the roux.

    The recipe below is 98% perfect as is. If you like medium spice....it's almost exactly what you'd get from a New Orleans restaurant in the French Quarter.

    I have my Nana's and Mother's recipe (both born/raised across the Lake Ponchatrain in Bogalusa, LA)....they'd use ~20% more spices of everything, also adding 'a good pinch' of white pepper & cayenne pepper. Pure Cajun awesomeness, slight spice burn on the lips, but not overbearing to the overall flavor palate.

    Here's the recipe:
