    Belly and Loin Bacon

    That’s a very impressive ensemble of meat. Great color. Is that a mod you made to your smoker to be able to hang them like that?

So, be swift to love and make haste to be kind.” -Henri-Frédéric Amiel Bear, I stalked this site for a good 10 years before I joined. Yours was the name my searches always seemed to lead me to. I...

    DIY kitchen remodel tips wanted

    I’d love to get some practical, experience-based tips from those you who have endured a kitchen remodel. I’m tearing out the old oak floors soon. The cabinets will follow as last-minute as I think we can handle. New custom cabinets arrive mid Feb that a contractor friend of mine will help me...

    Maple Sugar

    I’ve never had any success in imparting maple flavor in any of my attempts. So I’m on board with trying your method, Robert. I even tried the maplene trick. I’ll have to give maple bacon another chance.

    Italian Insanity: Lasagna Wrapped Sausages W/ Spicy Marinara & Veggies (Pics)

    Any time Robert breaks out the mini cast iron pans, I’m in. An overly quick glance at the tithe and I thought, “What?! That’s nuts.” Then I saw @tx smoker and I knew it was gunna be great. I think you may have a new genre of food, Lasagna Wraps.

    Beef Jerky Disaster

    My oven has a frame around it which makes cracking the door open very difficult. After much trial and error, using the door handle and a wooden spoon, I cracked the door open without turning off the oven. It took a while. It was worth the work. The jerky was saved. I usually dry mine at 140-145...

    Sub Sandwiches???

    I’ve never liked any chain. Some of them have bread with such high sugar content that in Europe some have to classify their breads as cake. I’ve always found Mom & Pop delis to be the best (but sometimes disgusting). The line at lunchtime will let you know. That said, a full-on Italian is...

    Fiery Asian Pork And Veggies (Pics)

    Agreed. Very uncool.

    Brisket - best price I've seen!

    We have a chef Store in town. Their beef is never graded. Does that mean it’s below choice? I’ve always been cautious to get beef there other than eye of round for beef jerky as theirs is very lean.

    Nice thoughtful work, once again. Asian food is amazing. Again, very impressive and it looks amazing.

    Beef Jerky Disaster

    Not sure why I didn’t think of the oven myself. I have a one-track mind, I guess. Glad I checked in here and did my complaining. There’s always a better solution than my solution. Although, it might have made good chili. But I’d rather have jerky. This stuff is beautiful.

    Oh joy. Hate being sick.

    Feel better soon. Drink lots of fluids and get lots of rest. Searching for “goats that scream like people” on YouTube is also good therapy. I’m day one out of quarantine myself.

    Chopped Ham Loaf .

    If I left that fancy custom mold in my fridge and my wife opened it in the morning she’d yell, “I can’t believe it’s not butter!” Sorry. Someone had to do the dad joke here. I felt obligated. It was too easy. 😂
