Couple chicken tamales covered in mole sauce earlier this week. Perhaps not much to look at but the fact that I'm still thinking about them tells me they were very good.

We had a Mexican inspired potluck at work today. There was a chili relleno casserole, chorizo con huevo quesadillas, ceviche, and I made refried beans. I'll be grilling up carne asada and pollo asada for some friends on Saturday as well as making margaritas. Oddly enough, the only day I don't plan on stuffing my face with Mexican food is tomorrow, Cinco de Mayo.

Went to a full Greek dinner last night at a friend's house, bought at an auction and the chef is from Greece. Forgot pictures of the first two courses but did get the main course of lamb. The Greek potatoes were fabulous.
 
Marinated this chicken for 24 hours. Smoked it at 225f for about an hour and then brought the temp. up to 350f to finish cooking it and crisp up the skin. Also made some garlic and butter shiitake mushrooms. Roasted red peppers which were then peeled, chopped and added to a balsamic, olive oil and salt vinaigrette.

Did my birthday the right way. Went to Stew Leonard's in Yonkers and got myself a couple of dried aged steaks. I seasoned them with olive oil, kosher salt and black pepper and then grilled them on the BGE for a a couple of minutes on each side at a very high heat. I then transferred the steaks to a really hot cast iron pan and added butter, thyme and half of a whole garlic bulb (I like my steak rare). They were tender and had a really deep beefy flavor, freaking delicious. For side dishes I made some roasted purple, red and white baby potatoes and also purple, yellow and orange carrots.

Washed all of this down with a bottle of pinot noir and smoked a 1926 Padron maduro that my wife gifted me for my birthday back in 2013 (she gifted me a fiver of 1926's, 1964's and OpusX Perfecxion #2)

Damn that looks great! Stew's raw material looks good but your cooking looks better.
