    Pork butt prices and quality

    I can usually find Food Lion, Swift, or Smithfield bone-in for 1.29 (used to be 0.99). To me seem fine for most intended uses. But I am more gourmand than gourmet.

    That time of year again

    Ok, Feb 11th coming. What’s for dinner? I’m hosting, and always want to feature something from participant cities. Going to do burnt ends for KC. SF is always a problem … rooting against them just on culinary principle … think I’m going to do something Ghirardelli. Cioppino, or chowder in...

    Early Retirement??

    As was mine (went part time in ‘19 for health reasons, but then with pandemic travel restrictions I was all but retired anyway). Would have preferred working a couple more years, but has been other silver linings with daughter and grandkids in same neighborhood. A friend once told me to retire...

    New Years Eve/Day superstitions anyone?

    I’m with you, but I consider smoking more pork, not doing laundry, and getting my wife to twirl instead of cutting spaghetti to be valuable superstitions 😁

    New Years Eve/Day superstitions anyone?

    I have compiled a fairly complete list of the more conventional or popular do’s and dont’s for good luck in 2024. I can’t say any of this works, but with all the crap dealt to us over the last several years, I’m thinking we should incorporate as many as possible and need all the help we can get...

    Electric suggestion?

    The analog is limited to 250 knowing there will be excursions potentially 25-50* higher. Their PID limit is a bit higher knowing the excursions will be minor. If you bypass and run your own Auber I wouldn’t go any higher than their own PID controller ceiling … the unit/insulation is not designed...

    Mashed Potatoes

    That’s why I use a ricer.

    Mashed Potatoes

    When I peel, I use a ricer. Add warmed heavy cream, butter, garlic cloves, S&P.

    Electric suggestion?

    Not cheap, but I did love my Smokin-It #3 analog for what it was/does. I wanted more high temp versatility and a smaller herd, so sold to a friend (who loves it). I never saw the need for a PID for what I cooked.

    SMF points league chatter

    So everybody ready! 🙈🙉🙊 I was still in the hospital and on drugs during our draft, and I think I still coulda done better than auto draft. Holy Smokes. You were right Jeff … defense was a MESS. I had 2 guys suspended, two that were injured, and two that had been cut and weren’t even on a team...
