What oven is this

Agree BGE...

A dear friend of mine picked some wild hen of the woods mushrooms and apparently had too many

I don't see hen of woods.. but twice a year there is a place up in the hills behind my Vermont house the puts forth numerous chanterelles...... I've been enjoying that harvest for years now...

If any of you guys are looking for some nice spatulas for the house, may I recommend these. Just picked up a set and they are awesome! Heavy gauge and comfortable.

Brined and apple wood smoked turkey breast on the Big Green Egg.

Mark,

Where did you purchase the meat? I have always wanted to buy a turkey breast like that to roast but have been unable to find one.

[mthomas58]

Standard grocery store item. This is a 3 lb boneless breast meat roast. You should find them next to the frozen whole turkeys. They also have bone in whole breasts if you want to go that direction.

It's super easy to make. The recipe came from a Finnish woman.

Gravlax is really easy to make home, too! Just buy a fresh piece of salmon, remove the bones and excess fat but leave the skin and cut it even-ish. It doesn't have to be completely flat, but if it's very uneven, parts of the fish can easily become oversalted.

For about 1 pound of fish I use about 1 heaped tablespoons of rough salt (not completely coarse, but not like table salt either) and mix it with 0,5 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of whole white peppers and a generous sprinking of fresh dill. Sometimes I add a little bit of juniper berries too. The white peppers and juniper berries are optional.

Rub the salt mix onto the salmon. It should be pretty evenly coated. Rub some on the skin as well. Wrap it tightly in wax paper and then in saran wrap, put it onto a plate or in some kind of a container. Put some weight on top of the salmon it. I use a tupperware bowl and put a plate on top of it for weight. Place it in the fridge and let sit for 1-2 days depending on how salty you want the fish to become. Turn the package a couple of times (like once every 8-10 hours) so that sometimes the skin is on the top and sometimes on the bottom. This will make it evenly "gravad".

Wipe off all the salt and spices before you serve it. To serve slice it thinly and eat as is or with fresh dill.

A few nights I made steamed clams. Salty and yummy

[Shaun @ Tru6]

That looks fantastic Tom!

[Rusty Heap]

Use a dark or ale beer for steaming clams, fresh ground ginger, garlic and more garlic, dash of onions and diced bacon if that suits your palate.

[BRPORSCHE]

Thanks guys. Hmmm I'll have o try the dark beer. Used a dry white wine instead. Added too much clam juice and needed to reduce it down a bit more but was fantastic to mop up with fresh French bread.

As per Beer Butt chicken, Guinness is the best.
