Basil, avocado, toasted pine nuts, goats cheese, and both fresh and sundried tomato? Is that dual tomato action?

It's my go to beer for salty deli style meats. Those light citrusy hops really temper the salt.

I think, if you look closely, you'll see it is tomato on tomato action, which I think is banned in some of the more conservative states.

Very close! Buffalo mozzarella. Lovely as good tomatoes are (there were plum iirc) sun dried tomatoes are in a whole different league - a better league. I fricking love them.

Party at Geoff's house. I'll bring the wine.

Not my house! Though I am there now - didn't want to leave to dog for too long. Turns out he's fine though.

I'm doing a brisket on Monday and was wanting to try these smoked beans. Any tips or pointers?

Here's my recipe:


Serve these hot or at room temperature.

4-6 bacon slices or 1 slice ham, chopped.(This is completely optional. A vegetarian one does not even need
fat added. .)
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 1/4 cups BBQ sauce, homemade or your favourite purchased
3/4 cup dark beer
1/4 cup mild-flavored (light) molasses
3 tablespoons Yellow mustard
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, or more to taste.
4 to 6 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chilies, or home smoked chipotles, or hank's Adodbo
1-2 green peppers chopped

If you want to start from scratch, cook two bags of black beans using your favourite method and save some
cooking liquid.

OR, if you are lazy:
6 19-ounce cans low sodium beans.



Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook bacon in large skillet over medium heat
until crisp. Transfer to paper towels and drain. Transfer 2 1/2
tablespoons bacon drippings from skillet to large bowl. Finely chop
bacon; add to bowl. Add onion and next 7 ingredients to bowl and whisk
to blend. Whisk in 4 to 6 teaspoons chipotle chilies, depending on
spiciness desired. Stir in beans. Transfer bean mixture to a large oven safe pot.
Bake uncovered until liquid bubbles and
thickens slightly, about 1 hour. Cool 10 minutes.

OR

Smoke for a couple of hours. If they taste too sweet a shot or two of espresso works wonders.

I also do a pretty delicious hard cider smoked beans.
