    My Final Porterhouse Cook (Pics)

    Wow! how ironic. I had something like that from Santa. Mine didn't come out as good as yours though. I made it on the griddle along with onions, sliced taters, asparugus and a little surf medely. Best beef I've had in a long time Robert.. TY

    What was your final pH?

    What is a simple or ordinary thing that you can't do well.

    Nope.. That just sticks to the bottom of the pot ...:emoji_disappointed:

    What is a simple or ordinary thing that you can't do well.

    Keep after it.. I could never play a kazoo. My oldest son can play acoustic, electric, bass, euphonium, tuba or anything else he picks up. Daughter is an artist, youngest is a gymnast. I think I'm gonna order up some DNA tests.

    So decided what to do with the extra pork shoulder I had

    You must have grew up like me. I only had 8 crayons in the box. None of them were white. So I mostly ate the yellow ones.

    What is a simple or ordinary thing that you can't do well.

    First off... This is not a "I can't lick my ....." topic. So let's get that said. I cannot for the life of me cook regular white rice. I have tried all methods, proportions and it always turns out to be a glob of inedible goo. I don't paint well either. I'll build whatever you want honey, but...

    Time to make some sauce.. I hope.

    Going back to my brewing days, I think this is just simply trub. It is trying to sink but is almost neutrally buoyant. I'll bet if I could add some sugar in there it would get right back to work.. I might do a little experiment on this one after I get it's pH. I wish I had my old hydrometer now...

    So decided what to do with the extra pork shoulder I had

    I agree.. but that discussion can go down another hole as to origin, who made them and what they grew locally. Tamales are another endless debate. For pork... Chili Verde gets my vote. A dozen or so tomatillos. they are not under-ripe tomatoes BTW Some garlic cloves Onion Jalapeno, serrano...

    Time to make some sauce.. I hope.

    Yes interesting as it is only like that in the one jar. The other spring jar has some snow globe effect when stirred. the other mason jars are packed with brine and fruit so there's no telling there. Th clasp jar is clear as day with just some garlic and/or onion remnants floating. Either way...

    Too cool. I'll have to add those to my list of thing to get. Where'd ya get them?

    Time to make some sauce.. I hope.

    Do those things collapse or just disappear in the brine? I can't see them at all. The white fuzz I was referring to is this white mass of something in one of the jars. It's just hanging around like a cloud. I purged a bit of brine and it smells good. Robert, If it comes out well, you just...

    Bacon Likely Bad... Confirm and Help Me Learn

    Very true. There are alot of different stainless steels out there. Heck some are magnetic and some are not. I was just saying I think the spots are from the rack, which I find hard to believe is actually stainless. It could be, but I haven't ran across one in a off-the-shelf smoker.

    Bacon Likely Bad... Confirm and Help Me Learn

    I'm thinking more than likely it's chromium plating and not stainless steel. Stainless steel doesn't corrode (oxidize) well. Try cutting it with an oxyacetylene torch.

    Time to make some sauce.. I hope.

    I have done a few jalapeno ferments before without knowing what I or it was doing. They came out well but I never gave much thought about making sauce and bottling it. I always just blended it up and put it in a mason jar to use as is. This year, my second in SC, I reaped a fairly large crop of...

    Scored some wild forks

    Great looking links!! I'm with you here. I like to get the long baguette loaves then slice them to length, then cut off about the top third, dig out some of the bread from the bottom piece and make a nice nest for the sausage. This helps out if you are planning kraut, peppers, etc. to keep...

    I use mineral oil on my slides (and my filet knife). Haven't had a problem.
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
