Shrimp, Chicken & Andouille Sausage Gumbo

Ok, no more drunkin posts for a few days at least. Promise.

When in Denver, do as the Denverites do?

Micro brewery number two. Welcome to the Rock Bottom Brewery. After a painful day of OpenVms training, nothing could have hit the spot better than a "16th St. Wheat" and "Molly's Titanic Brown Ale" and finally the brewers choice Milk Stout.

Breckenridge Brewery, Denver, Co

Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies



Right down the street, Breckenridge Brewery

So many choices, so little time...

Started with the Agave wheat cause i'm runnin on an empty stomach. What to try next? Well, after a guacamole appetizer and spicy chicken enchiladas, that would be an Avalance Amber followed by an Oatmeal Stout and finally the Small Batch 471 IPA to finish it off. All this for $22?

Sink it!

For those that have made the trek to Sperry will understand. In about 12 hrs i plan to pull these two and add the bologna & hot links in an attempt to recreate the famous Sink the Ship sandwich.

Arg!

Ok. If the food sucks tomorrow, at least i have an excuse. Oh, and the perfect ratio of Red Bull to Vodka is 3 oz of vodka to 8.3 oz Red Bull (1 full can).

Green pork chili

Hmmm... So 11 people all bringin chili to work tomorrow and I wanted something different so here it is...

Red onions, tomatillos, jalapenos, garlic, pork shoulder, chicken stock & cilantro.

We'll see how it turns out.

Brisket & bologna

Thanks to Skee & Russ the brisket turned out fantastic... Mostly stolen from a post on the eggnation blog (http://eggnation.blogspot.com/2007/10/brisket-to-go.html) I rubbed the brisket with some John Henry's Pecan Rub (Jack Wills) and let it sweat for about an hour while the smoker got up to temp (225 degrees). Added some apple wood (actually, all that I had left) and added the bologna and brisket to the Egg and let them both cook for about 5 hours. At this point I removed the bologna & wrapped the brisket in foil and added the special sauce (follow the link above) and brought the smoker up to 350 for about 2 more hours. By this time it was gettin close to dinner time and the meat was nice and tender. I let it rest for about 30 minutes before cutting into it as you can see above. I was very happy with this method as it only took 7 hours to cook and was very tender and moist.

Its chicken tonight

Hour at 350, 15 minutes at 450 (until internal temp hit 190), salt, pepper & olive oil.
