    How Do You Afford This Addiction?

    Retired consulting engineer. Had to retire earlier than I wanted due to health issues and pandemic hitting same time, but still pretty comfortable and supporting daughters family. WRT your query of “afford” … I rarely buy anything not on sale, and buy larger quantities and stock either raw or...

    Tried the lollipop thing….

    Haven’t been a big fan of drums, but have debated trying the lollipop thing. Idle curiosity … why wrap the handle with foil?

    NY strips can't do, is it just me?

    Depends on the time. Can make tough cuts incredibly tender with longer times, still at low temps. Have done it even with top and bottom round.

    Send Prayers: Cancer Returned

    Just saw this 😢 Prayers and thoughts with all of you. FWIW, we have a relatively young friend with stage 4 and terminal, still feels and functions well several years past the doctors expiration date. She can do it! Her mind and heart may be the most important treatments at her disposal.

    What are you watching ?

    I wanted to do all that with my 500 DVDs when I had my theater and 120” screen. Now that I’m down to a 75” it hasn’t seemed worth the effort, and donated 95% of them. Spending more time with music than TV these days.

    NY strips can't do, is it just me?

    I was just gonna say the exact same thing … SV and reverse sear usually turns out pretty well.

    Is Heart-Healthy Bacon an impossible oxymoron?

    Yes, I’m on <2000 mg/day … that’s pretty hard to do if you don’t make most everything yourself. But I may give myself a hall pass once a month. Ok, I see that now …

    Is Heart-Healthy Bacon an impossible oxymoron?

    Cool idea. Read their directions and it says to use both the ground formed bacon seasoning and “maple cure”, the latter I cannot seem to find on their site. Any idea what that is? Just typical curing salt?

    Is Heart-Healthy Bacon an impossible oxymoron?

    That’s exactly what I have done. Have not tried dry brining for bacon or Canadian. I felt I needed to inject the loin for Canadian.

    I am more concerned with sodium than fat

    Is Heart-Healthy Bacon an impossible oxymoron?

    Looking for any recipes for the “healthiest” bacon I can make. (Store-bought out of the question) Did cure/smoke a belly but even that seemed too salty (Used a reduced salt Pop’s cure). Any of you wrestle with this? Thx!

    Weekend FOTB ribs

    Looks great! . Although I ‘prefer’ dry rub and clean bite, most friends and family prefer sauced and FOTB. But I’m the Will Rogers of ribs … never met one I didn’t like.

    Pastrami!

    Damn great sale and tasty product! I did one too since wife not a big fan of corned beef in general. Glad that worked for you, but they always seem to fall apart on me when I use my slicer, so just did it by hand as if it was ‘just’ brisket.
