Kabob Crazy! Asian Beef Skewers

Asian Beef Skewers

Have I mentioned before how much I love kabobs? If I haven't, let me take a second to profess the deepest affection that I have for these sticks of meat. Kabobs done right are just about everything I want out of a grilled food: they're loaded with flavor; they grill fast; they maximize the surface area of the food, which creates more opportunity for wonderful caramelization over the high heat; and they seem to get everyone crowded around the grill, cooking their own food like nothing else can. I realized for all the kabobs I've made, I have not done them justice on the blog, so we're about to go all kabob crazy up in here, coming at you with one kabob recipe after another. First up is an Asian beef skewer, which might not actually be a true kabob, but it's been a mainstay in my repertoire year after year, continually being a Meatwaver favorite, so that makes it number one on my list to share out to the masses.

Another Year, Another Sausage

Thai Chicken Sausage

Being a creature of habit, I was comforted when an email arrived announcing that the Dr. Popsicle birthday would be returning for another year of bbq in Prospect Park. This event not only signifies the turning of age of its radical host, but also the one year anniversary of my first foray into sausage making. It seemed only fitting for me to take out the grinder and have another go, in the name of tradition and the good Dr.

A Trip Back to the Islands

A Filimeato Feast

What was I thinking when I attempted to make Filipino BBQ last week from a cookbook? Why would I ever do that when I have direct connections to family from the Philippines that could have warned me what I was doing was wrong? I don't really know why I chose to do things the way I did, but I made sure to correct the problem before the grand Filimeato Feast. I went straight to the source for a recipe, provided by the bbq maker in the gf's family, and the end result was everything I ever wanted.

Prelude to a Feast

Filipino Chicken BBQ

The Filimeato Feast is coming up on Sunday and to ensure a happy crowd I decided I better take my Filipino bbq on a test run. Filipino cooking is new to me, and have only been attempting it since realizing how great their food is after a recent trip to the 7000 islands this past winter. So I know I like Filipino bbq, I know what it's supposed to taste like, what it's supposed to look like, but like some many foreign things, have no idea what's really in it. After coming back from the Philippines, I got two cookbooks, and between them tried to make some sense of what their BBQ is made of and took a stab at it tonight in preparation for this weekend's all out feast.

A Taste of Thailand

Thai Chicken Breasts

I eat at Thai a lot, since two of my favorites (Thai Pavilion and Arharn Thai) are in Astoria, and every year they have a contest to win free tickets to Thailand. Each year I enter over and over, but for reasons that are beyond me, I never seem to win. Well, winner selection just passed, and guess what, I'm just as big of a loser this year as in the past. I guess I just have to settle on bringing Thailand to me, so I grilled up some tasty Thai chicken breasts with a sweet, sour, and spicy dipping sauce...so many flavors in one!
