Sometimes leftovers are great. Sometimes not.

My crime was cultural appropriation, as I tried to make Hawaiian BBQ for my Maui-born Valkyrie

The other crime was WAY overcooking the kalbi ribs so that they completely disintegrated as I attempted to grill them. However, it also meant they had a texture like melted butter when you ate them, which meant them incredibly delicious.

Because I live with a child with a bland palate, I also had to sub-divide the menu between flavored and not. The stuff with the grill marks used the official L&L cookbook’s BBQ sauce recipe, which, along with 2.5 cups of water and 1 cup of soy sauce, also includes a HALF POUND of sugar. Pouring that from the bag into the bowl feels like a sketch comedy bit where someone is told “say when” with fresh ground pepper and they just keep going until they plate is completely black.

But I had BBQ chicken, kalbi ribs and spam there, with some leftover kalua pork on the side.

Stay tuned for my next crime though, because I had some beef shanks in the sous vide overnight, only to come downstairs this morning and see the temp gauge reading “198 degrees”. The plus side is that it WASN’T running that hot. However, what that means is that, at some point during the night, it malfunctioned and stopped warming the water because it thought it was running that hot. I checked, and the water as at least warm rather than room temp, so there’s STILL a chance I won’t catch botulism!

I mean, if you’re GONNA eat a chicken breast, that’s at least a worthwhile way to make it. Your dog is eating well.

This plate certainly looks like a crime scene

I’m proud of the color I got on the beef shanks after having a small sous vide emergency. I went with the air fryer, rather than the cast iron, 450 degrees for 3 minutes after spraying them with some tallow. I kept them bone side up, so that I could ave the marrow to dump onto my eggs.

I wasn’t planning on eating both of the shanks, but once I started in on the second one I knew it had no chance to survive.
