SPECIAL - BBQ Brethren "Noobians vs. Veterans" Throwdown!!!

[bigabyte]

Hey, somebody tell Gore to stop sitting on the port side, it makes us look like we're gonna capsize. Keep his giant arse centered on this thing!

[High Q]

......from the farthest waters of the wine dark sea, Captain Q, his first mate Mr. Smee and boatswain Quohog receive word from CINC Overland Fark of the impending battle against the Noobian uprising.


Captain Q: Mr. Smee bring her around and make all sail for the following coordinates.

Mr. Smee: Aye Captain! Our orders sir.

Captain Q: We are to rendezvous with Farkanaut with all dispatch; We are to join her crew under Admiral Bigabyte, engage the Noobians and put down their rebellion for Q and country.

Captain Q: Now, Quohog, assemble the children for shameless pictures and engage the MOAB (Mother of all BBQs).

Mr. Smee: Straight wakes Captain, the wind favors us and the Noobians are finished.

Captain Q: Aye Smee, now where are my strawberries.

As a blood red dawn begins to rise in the Southern Seas the Noobian Armada continues to engage a severely damaged SS Farkanaut.

Radar Officer: "Sir, we have still seen no signs of life aboard the SS Farkanaut."
Captain:"Very well, flood the Fore torpedo tubes and prepare to launch the Red Menace."
Torpedo Room: "Captain, tubes one and two are flooded and we have a firing solution."
Captain: "Launch both tubes."

I was in the mood for a little asian fusion this week so I put together a Char Siu Bahn Mi. A little tribute to China & Vietnam.

Marinated some sliced pork shoulder using a hybrid of recipes I got from Landarc and Aussie Bill and marinated it over night.

The night before I sliced some carrot, daikon radish and some jalapeno into matchsticks and pickled them in salt, sugar & white vinegar.

Pork went onto the grill

And while it was cooking I whipped together some Sirachi, Lime Mayo

and picked a fresh cuke from my garden which I did a quick pickle on using salt, sugar, rice wine vinegar, white vinegar & Xiao Xing (sp?) Wine.

About 45 minutes later the pork came off

And it was sandwich building time. First a layer of mayo followed by the radish, jalapeno & carrot pickles, the quick cuke pickle and some cilantro.

Then I sliced the pork

And layered on a healthy amount to finish off the Red Menace

Radar Officer:"Sir, the Red Menace has impacted the Farkanaut below the water line on her Starboard side and she's beginning to go under."
Communications Officer: "Sir, we've been able to pic up a signal which appears to be playing on continuous loop aboard the SS Farkanaut, though we've been unable to decipher it's contents, it does appear to be a video of some sort."

Captain:"Very well, it appears that the Farkanaut is done for. Turn to a bearing of 275* and full steam ahead."

As the Noobian Armada leaves the site of the battle the Captain reflects to himself: "Those poor Bastidges, they didn't even put up a fight. What could they have been up to?"

Meanwhile aboard the Farkanaut the video which was intercepted continues to play, keeping the crew mesmerized.

They still don't see it coming.

[zydecopaws]

Think we should put out some more of those decoys?

Quality over quantity has always been my mantra.

We farkenauts don't panic in the heat of battle. We measure our response. Besides, there is still plenty of time time for us to unleash an ecode entry.

Good Idea...for now:

@Ms2sb, great frontal assault! Coming into the weekend, this is sure to stir up some counter offensives. Let's stay vigil and keep lobbing rounds downrange! Viva la noobian resistance!!!

It would probably go well with this:

[zydecopaws]

Time for an underwater response to the sinking of our decoy. If for no other reason than I want to go back to drinking and watching this over and over.



First we will prepare the underwater mines and a foil garlic toast torpedo.



A close-up of the mines reveal them to be studded with explosive peppers, onions, and cilantro. And held together with the dreaded oatmeal. And dusted with the deadly Simply Marvelous Season All.



Once paired with a sauce made from Big Butz No Butz, SBR, a can of chopped tomaters, and a heaping helping of sautéed onion and garlic, it all topped a healthy portion of spaghetti noodles and was sprinkled with parmesan cheese.



Oh, and it was launched with an additional torpedo, that can be seen in the background of that picture. That last picture might as well be used as an "official" entry.

Now, back to the floor show. Between the decoys, torpedos, and mines, that ought to keep the Noobians distracted for awhile...

Nice Noobian entry, now that you are the Warlord of our alliance.

[Happy Hapgood]

Fantastic entry Zydeco! The noobs are trying to shake that blow off but it had to hurt them BAD!!!

I too am preparing for a direct assault on the noobiean hoards.

[seadad9903]

The only thing that hurt were my eyes after staring at Michelle for 10 minutes.

good looking entries for both sides!!

The marinade for the jerk chicken consisted of green onion, garlic, ginger, white vinegar, serranos, habanero from my garden, walla walla sweet onion, lime juice, allspice, cinnamon, black pepper & cumin.
Attachment 69213

The spices were toasted and ground and then thrown into the food processor with the rest of the ingredients. I then broke down the whole chicken and hit it with my needler to help speed up the marinade process.
Attachment 69214

After about a 6-hour soak I pulled the chicken out.
Attachment 69215

Then threw it onto the Traeger at 425* for about 45-minutes. It came out juicy and delicious.

I served it up with some cilantro, roasted poblano & lime rice and a refreshing black bean & peach salsa.

Fire Control: "Captain we've scored another direct hit to the SS Farkanaut!"
Radar Officer: "Sir, we've made visual contact with the Farkanaut. Fires can be seen burning on the aft deck. She's continuing to maintain current speed and course."
Captain: "Prepare the next volley, let's send her to the bottom!"

Very Nice my Warlord, Thanks for taking care of the Crew with such Great chow from the galley.

[campdude]

I was gong to go up on the deck to lauch a shot at the noobian fleet, then I saw the temp up there. That fire must be worse than we thought! I decided to stay below deck and keep watching the movie!
