Ive only got a few minutes sho I've downloded the pics I posted some before but I think you porbably dont remember them so here is what we started last weekend when this TD got started. We had the these beautifull beats you see
and I was roasting something else I think it was garlic I think because we were all out of roasted garlic and we get the big contaners of pealed garlics at costco and put them in almuminum foil with garlic and olive oil and cook them until done, and since we were roasting garlics too we thought ti would be good to roast some beets also, so here are the beets all cleaned and ready to be roasted.
We roasted these with garlics also, but the garlks cook faster. I think we cooked the beats for thrree hours around 300 or so yes in the Primo with some oak wood. I'm not really sure it might have been cherry. Cooked them until they were done you can probe these just like a brisket, smooth as butter. When they were done we let them cool and then we prepared the beets by cutting them up into bits and putting them into a jar with 3 cups of vodka. We seeled that up and let it sit for a week.
Yeah, thats the vodka and it tasted pretty good, but twe're talking about this weekened now and not last weekened so that's what i'm telling you about what we did with those beets after we were in the far pickling for a week. We took the beats out. No, we opened the container and strained them
Of course we tried the beets. They were pretty pickeled. I thoguht they tasted pretty good except for thevodka taste at the end which wasnt too bad, bbut we were not making a beat salad like we did last weke. That salad was not made with pickeled beets but with just the roasted beats. It was really good especailly if you like beets. Here is a picture of it in case you mished it. It has some nice bleu cheese and pecans on it yum. I also like rasins in my salad, but this one didn' t have raisins as it had beets, but I do like raisins.
but thats not why I'm entering a beat in a salad farking throwdown. i'm talking a bout a real honest a goodness Aussie throwdown and I was not going to throw jumbo shrimp on the barbie aor burn the fark out of anything, first off gauce they don't have jumbo shrimp in Aussieland poor farkers only have jumbo prawns or something, but I wanted to cook something that an aussie really wants more than anything else and that is something to drink cause if you have something to drink then who the fark cares really about what the food is that's the real secratt to great asuee cuisine. so we had the beet-infused vodka because one thing I know aussies like is beetroot. they even put it on theyr Big farkin' Macs over there, so you've got to have beetroot to make it authentic. Now what was I tlaking about? Oh yeah, farkin' margaritas, no, martinis, Aussie Martinis. Yeah, so we have our beetroot-infused vodka and we also have some ginger syrup -- I know you guys know how to make Ginger syrup. Anyway,hweres a whole jarfull of ginger syrum, more than you can inmage knowing how to get more.
then we also get some lemons and limes and make some lemon and lime juse with those. I think you guys know the recipe for that so I'm not going to waste my time writing out how to make lemon and lime juse when you can just go ahead and google that if you know know.
farkin photobucket keeps moving my pics around. heres the lemons and limes
So, we have about two cups of vodka stuff and then a bit of ginger syrup to act like vermouth and then a bit of lemon and lime juse. Thats isn't how to spell juse. fark, you gusy know what I meean. Then you put them stuff in a shaker with some ice and shake it up and you make a margatini Aussie style martini actually you make two of these because they have special powers and you want to make sure you're using the martinis special powers so you have to share one of these which is why you make two, but then you'll probably making more after than which is why you use three cups of vodka to start cuase you're gonna want more after you start drinking
and when you have them whit your special someone then you have some more and you dont measure so well this time and then the special powers come into play and then if you want some more then you have some more and that is when the fun begins.
O yeah, fark, I told her I was just going to downoad these pictures and weould be back in a second, fark. I'll be write back. don't go anywhere.
