Now I have to figure out how to reduce the temperature on a charcoal grill. lol

Lay aluminum foil over some of the coals.

I was just out there grilling some chicken when it dawned on me that you close the vents when you want the temperature to go down. D'OH.

Fortunately this is a fairly new grill, I may get a year out of it!

The pork belly is on the grill. I used a combination of techniques from blogs, and youtube videos.

Souped Up Recipes - she used a fork to poke a million holes in the skin, so I copied that.

Some guy on youtube - put a layer of salt down in a container, put the pork belly skin down on the salt, and marinaded it for 6 hrs. I copied the salt thing, but left it in the fridge overnight. Instead of his marinade I rubbed the meat side with Memphis style bbq rub that I bought at the store.  Then this morning I tried to get as much moisture off the skin with a paper towel, and then rubbed a small amount of salt on it. I hope it's not too salty.

BBQ Pit Boys -  put the pork belly meat side down in a pan on top of carrots, celery, and onion, then poured some beer in it, probably to keep the bottom from burning. I copied this part, and I will probably do like they did and add maybe half a chimney of charcoal later if I need to.

In about 3 hours I will either have something delicious, or something barely edible.

It was almost delicious, but too salty. Next time, will only put as much salt on the skin the night before as I think it will need to taste good. BBQ Pit Boys method was good, the veggies and beer kept the meat from drying out. Also, probably won't bother stabbing the skin with a fork a million times, and just use a sharp knife to cut some slits in it.  I also never needed to add more charcoal, one chimney plus a couple handfuls of unlit charcoal at the beginning was more than enough.

Yes! Most of it melted, which was another good thing about the BBQ Pit Boys' method. I used a small aluminum pan and it caught all that fat and kept the grill from going up in flames. It's a delicious cut of pork, but I wouldn't want to eat it very often, I can feel my arteries clogging.

The first bushel is done, the second one is in the pot. You can stop by anytime! I also parched a few, but they're really too green for that, so I just put them back in the oven to see if I can get them to dry out some more. I do not know how to get the salt into the peanuts like the ones you buy at the store.

There is very much peanut talk happening here. I am going to need to cook something soon that has no peanuts in it, just to mix it up a little bit.

Although the more I hear about it, the more intrigued I am by this whole boiled peanuts thing.

I made some delicious shredded chicken tacos yesterday in a crock pot.  I used too little taco seasoning though, definitely needed 1 more packet of seasoning.

New (to me) rice cooking technique.

Boil it like pasta.
No measure. Just some rice and a bunch of water in a pot.
Boil hard about 12 to 14 minutes. Strain and enjoy.

Perfect fluffy rice.

When you do it this way you can keep the water too. Rice water is apparently good for your health (as long as you washed the rice first) and is also good for your skin

I do this with black rice. :)
