Been working through leftover jambalaya and decided to make something like boudin balls. Stuck a piece of Monterey jack and a slice of candied jalapeno inside, then rolled in cornmeal and Italian panko. Spritzed with oil and into the air fryer for 15 mins. Turned out great enough that brought a batch over to the neighbors.

Just something fun to do and change it up a bit. Made something horseradish honey mustard for dipping and some pickled onions and celery we had from our last pickling adventure as a garnish.

Got a lamb roast from Costco at a good price point. $35 for like 5lbs of lamb roast. Boneless leg cut.

Normally I never get lamb because my wife and kids don't really like lamb for whatever dumb reason. But I did and put it together the other day.

It occurred to me that I have never smoked lamb roast before just followed this using some brisket rub I had laying around.

Smoked Boneless Lamb Leg on the Pellet Grill

Tender smoked leg of lamb or goat cooked on a pellet grill. Get the recipe from James Beard Award winning Chef Alan Bergo.

Turned out excellent and only took 3 hours to cook. Kids loved it and it took in a lot of smokiness despite the short time. Highly recommend.

These are probably good but personally, I am wholly committed to jihad against air fryers and their promotion as "good enough" and "healthier" substitute to oil frying. Anytime somebody tries to hand me "air fried" (IT'S JUST AN OVEN WITH A FAN, AM I THE ONLY ONE NOT RETARDED ENOUGH TO SEE THIS!), I immediately began ululating and reach for my machete.

Oil frying is still superior, but I've been getting good results for some things with the little Cuisinart I got for free. I've got a propane fish fryer for serious stuff and if I'm cooking for a bunch of people, but if it's just the wife and I during the week, a shallow fry on the stove or the air fryer does the job.

Oil frying tends to be a pain in the ass is my biggest say against it. Air fryer is really damn easy to set up and use and has better results than baking on a lot of things. On top of that, there's plenty of times a second oven comes rather in handy. I use my air fryer almost every day, will never go back.

This is exactly why a certain demographic runs our country. Forsake convenience and return to tradition.

Yeah that's pretty much my thought on it. I find it really handy for reheating things that have some sort of crisp exterior already. I like it for resting some vegetables while I'm cooking whatever else are doing something like a baked potato.

The other benefit is I'm not turning the big oven on and heating up the house during the middle of summer.

Air fryer is god tier for reheating pizza. That alone justifies the price.
