Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barbeque, B-B-Que, BBQ...It means many things to many people. To some it's a piece of equipment, to some it's an event, to other's it a method of cooking. To many it's a deeply personal part of their history and their home.It's smoking meat, low and slow, or suspended over hot coals, or turning on a spit. Like religion or politics, it's hotly debated, reverently approached, it can be divisive or uniting, and it's only true definition is what it means to the one defining it.My best definition? Barbecue is a gathering, a meal, a sharing of time, food and companionship all in one. Barbecue brings people together and makes them happy. Barbecue is about good food, good friends, but always, it's about a good time.La Caja China: Smoke! is about BBQ, real BBQ, the various ways to make it in the Cuban-style roasting boxes, and the classic recipes that encompass BBQ from all over the United States.Let's have some fun.Let's make some smoke...

Also covered are techniques and equipment, including drying, pressing, and brining, as well as molds and ripening boxes.

Download or read book Total Urban Mobilisation written by Krzysztof Nawratek and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Krzysztof Nawratek explores the possibility of a post-capitalist city, and in so doing, reclaims and develops the idea of total mobilisation as originally formulated by Ernst Jünger. Nawratek formulates the idea of ‘accumulation of agency’ the ability to act, to replace the logic of capital accumulation as a main driver of urban development. He argues that this ‘accumulation of agency’ operates already in contemporary cities, and should not be seen as essential element of capitalism, but as a conceptual gateway to a post-capitalist world.

Download or read book Cuba in Splinters written by Orlando Luis Pardo and published by OR Books. This book was released on 2014-06-26 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Think Cuba, you’re likely to think bearded revolutionaries in fatigues. Salsa. Sugar cane. Rock ‘n’ roll, zombies, drugs – anomie and angst – do not generally figure in our mental images of a country that’s assumed an outsized place in the American imagination. But fresh from the tropics, in Cuba in Splinters – a sparkling package of stories we’re assured are fictional – that’s exactly what you’ll find. Eleven writers largely unknown outside Cuba depict a world that veers from a hyperreal Havana in decay, against a backdrop of oblivious drug-toting German tourists, to a fantasy land – or is it? – where vigilant Cubans bar the door to zombies masquerading as health inspectors. Sex and knife-fights, stutterers and addicts, losers and lost literary classics: welcome to a raw and genuine island universe closed to casual visitors. ……………………………… “I took a dollar taxi. I must have fallen asleep right away next to the driver, nodding off against the seatbelt. The flight attendant was another giggling mulata who helped me with my buckle in a flash, right near the zipper of this countryless queer, right at that timeless time to close the doors and fly away from Cuba once and for all. To clear Cuba out of myself forever—another variation on a terrible outcome. The noise was deafening. How mysterious, how miraculous, how shitty.” —from “The Man, the Wolf and the New Woods”

Download or read book Meathead written by Meathead Goldwyn and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller Named "22 Essential Cookbooks for Every Kitchen" by SeriousEats.com Named "25 Favorite Cookbooks of All Time" by Christopher Kimball Named "Best Cookbooks Of 2016" by Chicago Tribune, BBC, Wired, Epicurious, Leite's Culinaria Named "100 Best Cookbooks of All Time" by Southern Living Magazine For succulent results every time, nothing is more crucial than understanding the science behind the interaction of food, fire, heat, and smoke. This is the definitive guide to the concepts, methods, equipment, and accessories of barbecue and grilling. The founder and editor of the world's most popular BBQ and grilling website, AmazingRibs.com, “Meathead” Goldwyn applies the latest research to backyard cooking and 118 thoroughly tested recipes. He explains why dry brining is better than wet brining; how marinades really work; why rubs shouldn't have salt in them; how heat and temperature differ; the importance of digital thermometers; why searing doesn't seal in juices; how salt penetrates but spices don't; when charcoal beats gas and when gas beats charcoal; how to calibrate and tune a grill or smoker; how to keep fish from sticking; cooking with logs; the strengths and weaknesses of the new pellet cookers; tricks for rotisserie cooking; why cooking whole animals is a bad idea, which grill grates are best;and why beer-can chicken is a waste of good beer and nowhere close to the best way to cook a bird. He shatters the myths that stand in the way of perfection. Busted misconceptions include: • Myth: Bring meat to room temperature before cooking. Busted! Cold meat attracts smoke better. • Myth: Soak wood before using it. Busted! Soaking produces smoke that doesn't taste as good as dry fast-burning wood. • Myth: Bone-in steaks taste better. Busted! The calcium walls of bone have no taste and they just slow cooking. • Myth: You should sear first, then cook. Busted! Actually, that overcooks the meat. Cooking at a low temperature first and searing at the end produces evenly cooked meat. Lavishly designed with hundreds of illustrations and full-color photos by the author, this book contains all the sure-fire recipes for traditional American favorites and many more outside-the-box creations. You'll get recipes for all the great regional barbecue sauces; rubs for meats and vegetables; Last Meal Ribs, Simon & Garfunkel Chicken; Schmancy Smoked Salmon; The Ultimate Turkey; Texas Brisket; Perfect Pulled Pork; Sweet & Sour Pork with Mumbo Sauce; Whole Hog; Steakhouse Steaks; Diner Burgers; Prime Rib; Brazilian Short Ribs; Rack Of Lamb Lollipops; Huli-Huli Chicken; Smoked Trout Florida Mullet –Style; Baja Fish Tacos; Lobster, and many more.

Download or read book La Caja China Grill written by Perry Perkins and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-13 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grilling. It's the most primitive of all the cooking methods. Picture our ancient ancestors speaking chunks of raw meat on sticks and gathering around a communal fire to roast their meal. Grilling is not BBQ, despite the confusion spread by interchanging the two terms. BBQ is meat cooked "low and slow" indirectly, with a long period of contained wood smoke. Grilling, is all about the fire. Searing foods directly, indirectly, over wood coals or charcoal briquettes, to create flavorful crust and char marks, exponentially increasing the umami flavors in the meat.From the standpoint of the Caja China cook, the difference can be summed up simply: If it's cooking above the coals, it's grilling, if it's cooking in the box, with smoke, it's BBQ. No smoke...you're roasting.La Caja China Grill provides the roasting box owner with detailed instructions for both direct and indirect grilling, specifically on the "top grills" of the Cuban-style pig-roasting boxes and Cajun Microwaves, whose popularity have exploded with their exposure on Food Television, and with cooks and chefs like Bobby Flay, Andrew Zimmern, and Martha Stewart. Perkins, a professional chef and cookbook author, provides tip on charcoal types, the proper amounts to use for each recipe, what woods provide the best smoke for specific ingredients, and even the best wine pairings for various grilled dishes, in the all-inclusive guide to grilling on the "magic box."And, of course, there are the recipes... More than 70 delicious beef, pork, poultry, fish, and vegetable entrees for the grill, as well as sides, sauces, rubs, and everything the grill-master needs for the perfect flame-kissed meal. All recipes are fully illustrated, and many provide web-links to additional cooking tips, definitions, and how-to videos.Summer's coming! It's time to oil up those grills, fire up the coals...and make some magic!

Download or read book Pots Pans and Prophecies written by Rhonda K. Holland and published by . This book was released on 2013-03 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if the pots and pans in your kitchen were alive, living beings, each with their own personality? What if they were the ones trying to decide when and for what they would be used and could argue and reason with you about your choices for their use? What if the pots thought they had to plan the meals and purchase the ingredients? If the pots and pans could decide, chances are they would never want a tasteless or bitter or sour ingredient placed in them. It is likely that they would choose only the sweet and tasteful ingredients for themselves! Just like the pots and pans in our kitchens, as vessels in the Father's house, we do not decide when or for what we are used. We are to trust Him to make those choices and believe Him for the end accomplishments He has promised when we yield ourselves to Him in service. Complete trust requires us to lay aside our logic and reasoning. It is impossible to do that without a very real revelation of Who God is!
