Anyone know what kind of chilis these are? They came from the garden of my in-laws neighbor.

Could be Chimayo, Espanola, Fresno, maybe Mirasol if they point upwards on the plant. Pretty hard to tell, but unlike mushrooms you don’t die if you guess wrong.

I would guess chimayo because they don’t look smooth enough to be the others. Garden grown is always different than commercial, though. They’ll be tasty regardless and probably not too hot.

They’re definitely yummy with a goodbit of heat. I added a couple to eggs in purgatory last night.

Just to follow up on my chicken post... my mom made some gravy out of the drippings (mostly butter) and it was bangin. The lemon cane through really well in the gravy.

Always make extra gravy.
It freezes amazingly well and you can give it extra oomph with the fresh pan drippings. If you save and separate rendered chicken/goose/duck/bacon/beef fat, you can use that instead of the butter for the roux. The fat alone will freeze really well, too. Don't freeze cream or milk based gravy. Making and freezing gravy before a big holiday dinner takes a ton of the pressure off, and having gravy on hand makes a weeknight dinner way better.

Asparagus, Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, Pineapple and Filet.

Marinade for the steak was Cooked Bacon, Salt, Garlic Pepper and melted butter in a bag in the fridge for a few days. I left the uncooked bacon in the bag for wrapping later as well. I coated the asparagus with the marinade prior to cooking.

Store bought Jimmy Dean Garlic Mashed was in the oven since I ran out of room.

I need to find a buyer for my current Traeger. I think I need a bigger one.

Tonights dinner
Filet wrapped in home cured jalapeño bacon grilled in a Traeger smoker.
Baked potato using my favorite cowboy cook, Kent Rollins recipe. Link
Store bought slaw.
Tito's on the rocks with a wedge of lime.
Amazing! If you have never made your own bacon, if you have a smoker you need to try it. No chemicals and tastes incredible.
