Hawaii-Style Rotisserie Chicken aka Huli Huli Chicken,
(I even added in the Mesquite aka Kiawe wood smoke from my A-MAZE-N smoker tube, I know I pissed off our neighbors that don't like us but tough )
accompanied by my Quick Cucumber Kim Chee (or kimchi, whatever), that ever present steamed White Rice and my Copycat Zippy's Macaroni Salad, a must have for any "local" and I've got the recipe figured out!!!!
We can have a taste of home any time we like, or more like whenever I feel like making it!!
That my friends, was ONO!!! (that's Hawaiian for delicious)

Oh, that Cowboyville

Loads of Beef Cattle, Ranches and Ranchers and Cowboys, Farming, wide open land as far as the eye can see ... gorgeous, quiet, small town USA, nice folks, minimal crime, a touch more expensive than other parts of AZ, but we always wanted to live here, long before we retired and left Hawaii.

Will Murray from Fallow, a Youtube channel that I like, had a recipe for an English "Lancashire Hotpot" that I watched last night. It looked incredible (as does everything those guys make), so I decided to try it today.

The only problem is that I stopped at four stores and couldn't find any lamb, let alone lamb shanks, so I decided to sub a frozen chuck roast that I had. I also have no idea what Charlotte potatoes are, so I bought a bag of red potatoes, since he calls for waxy. He compares this dish to the level of French cuisine, which I would agree. It was fantastic. I cut my oven time to 2 hours, since I didn't have as much connective tissue in the chuck roast, and honestly could have used the original mirepoix that makes the sauce since it only cooked for 2 hours, but I tossed it anyway after straining the sauce, and then cooked fresh to adhere as closely as possible to the recipe. I don't know what red wine they recommend, so I chose a Bordeaux. Despite some amateur American dad "winging it", it was bangin'!
