Mr. CE did a great new recipe last night -- Persian lamb and rice with fresh mint and green onions. New York Times, natch. We both just enjoyed it leftover for lunch.

sweet! Which lamb cuts? Just curious. I still have future plans for another lamb dish that someone else posted here :-)

It's cold here...high won't reach 60 today. So tonight, my world famous (in my own mind) chili. I know, everyone thinks theirs is best, but mine is closer to a traditional chili.
I roast jalapenos, poblanos, onions and garlic the put them through the food processor for the base. Lots of lean beef and I use a good beef broth for the stock rather than relying on tomato sauce that's become too common. Although I do add a some tomato paste for color and flavor. I won't give away any of the other secret ingredients

Celebrated some good news by smoking (charcoal and apple wood) some meats (ribs, chicken, sausage) Kansas City-style.
Would have been even better if I'd left on the grill for another couple of hours, but I got a late start.

if you left them on grill for longer, how do you avoid risk of overcooking?

No gas grills for this meat smoker. Weber kettle, good charcoal, and good hickory/mesquite/apple/cherry wood chips, and ideally 8-10 hours.

I put a rub on them and grilled them over direct heat for maybe 10 minutes total time turning them to get all four sides. I let them rest and cut them against the grain. It isn't the most tender cut of beef unless they are braised but the flavor is great. They were Costco boneless short ribs.
