    What in the Sweet Baby Jesus is going on? Meat prices.

    Haven't seen one of those guys for quite a while. Most likely ungraded meat, and 1/4" thick steaks.

    The crockpot is a good idea, thanks! I'll just have to sift through about 30 boxes to find it. Still no oven yet. Hopefully by Oct 10th the kitchen remodel should be done.

    And then, disaster struck. Building had a power outage for several hours. Our PUD said it was planned, but they forgot to inform anyone in the building. Roast had only gotten to 157° when it happened. All I could do was wrap it in foil, place in a cooler, and hope for the best. Power came back...

    My happy place 😊. Feel free to tag yours.

    A few pics of my happy place, Puerto Vallarta MX. Been there at least a dozen times, and I still love it.

    I'm at home today, cabinets just came in. 26 big boxes worth. They say they're sending out a guy to install on Monday. :emoji_sweat: Meanwhile, I couldn't wait any longer, so the chuckie went on about 2 hours ago. Rubbed with Meatchurch Holy Voodoo.

    I mean I want to

    I saw tri-tip on "sale" here recently for $11.99 lb. Sale price used to be $5.99.

    Fun home owner stuff. Sprinklers.

    Reminds me of when I built my commercial fridge smoker. I lost count of how many trips I made to the hardware store. (I actually used a lot of plumbing supplies in it.) We have a small, local chain of old-school hardware stores called McClendon's. Unlike Lowe's & Home Depot, it's staffed by a...

    The great burger toppings debate

    In the pre-internet days, my best friend and I had an argument about that song. He swore that I was making it up, that it didn't exist, and I didn't have a 45 to prove that it did. Eventually, it came on the radio, and he had to submit.

    I called RT about the wifi, and got a "Call back during business hours" message. I didn't leave a message, but they called me back the next day anyway. I was transferred to their IT people, and we got it sorted out in a couple minutes. Fantastic customer service! BTW, I like the horns. They're...

    I just took a look at those. I already have 4 boxes of assorted flavor wood blocks that I use in my Smokin'-It Model 1. Looks like basically the same thing. Thanks for the idea!

    Did the initial burn-in tonight. This was at 400 degrees for an hour; I could see and feel the hot smoke near the vents. But as a test, I purposely positioned it about 8" away from the wood railing behind it, and the wood wasn't even warm. I touched the pellet box, and it was also cool to the...

    HAPPY MONDAY !!!

    Best and truest one by far.

    Whole leaf or shredded lettuce on a sandwich?

    Whole leaf, whatever kind of lettuce. Mainly because no matter how careful I am, shreds always end up in my lap.

    If It Wasn't For Bad Luck...

    Sorry to hear, David. I'm coming up on the tail end of the worst year of my life, but things are starting to look up. Hopefully they will for you, too.

    Peasant Bread

    Baked another one this morning in a loaf pan. Added 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar. Tastes great, but now I wish I had added some sliced jalapenos.

    deer neck

    My grandmother's recipe for mincemeat pie called for elk neck meat. Not so easy to come by these days.

    In the meantime I stopped by our forum friend, Y2K's (Jeff's Texas Style BBQ) near me, for lunch on the go yesterday. Had a cold ham sandwich that was to die for. He smoked, then thin sliced, and stacked it about 1" thick on a sweet brioche bun. Loaded up with lettuce, tomato, slivered red...

    My New Recteq Backyard Beast 1200, Condo-Style

    Decided to branch off from the original OP's thread. My condo is undergoing a remodel, but my apt lease is up, so I still have to move in, in 2 days. Right now, the kitchen is gutted, along with the sinks & vanities in both bathrooms. So the only running water and drainage at the moment are the...

    What in the Sweet Baby Jesus is going on? Meat prices.

    There is a meat stand at our local farmer's market. Easily twice the price of the already high supermarket beef and pork. I'd love to partake, but I'm not one of those bazillionaires.
