No meat to smoke today, so I felt a little out of sorts, so I said, no problem ... what veggies have we got in the fridge ? I grabbed tomatoes, corn, capsicum and some sweet potatoes. To smoke with this one, I thought I'd try out the plum chunks I bought from American BBQ Australia.

So at 10:40am, I fired it up and at 11am, the tomatoes and capsicum went on. At 12pm, I took them off and the corn went on. This time I didn't wrap the corn in alfoil, I just put it straight on and with no husks. 30 minutes later and the I took the corn off and it was amazing. It had soaked up all the smoke into the corn and each bite was tasty as.

By 1pm, I was all done and had eaten all the corn and sweet potatoes. I saved the tomatoes for later, which my wife ended up using in a meat casserole -- it was good (and smokey flavoured !)

This weekend, I was busy participating in the Ludum Dare Game Jam and so I spent the weekend at a friend's house working on it. The theme for this game jam was You are the Monster and I was working on a board game, more on that later. So, I got home late on Sunday afternoon and at 4:30pm, I quickly grabbed a chicken, marinated it with lemon juice and rubbed it down with some D.L. Jardine's Steak Seasoning, I had picked up from Texas Imports.

At 5pm, the chicken went on and I continued to work on my game - Gammonster. As I started late, it was going to finish late and so at 7:10pm, it came off, ready for resting. I devoured half of it as my wife said she wasn't that hungry and the rub was a little too spicy for her. Duly noted, but I thought it was great.
