    Smoked Butter

    I smoke butter frequently, and don't worry about the ambient temperature, or, for that matter, I don't even boter to fire up the smoker. I simply use a handheld portable smoke generator known as The Smoking Gun from Polyscience. I put 1 pound of room temperature butter, cut up into tablespoon...

    Boneless Turkey Breast - Where do you buy?

    I agree. I buy a large whole turkey breast on the bone, bone it out, season the inside as I desire, apply a transglutiminase (meat glue) slurry, reverse the ends to form something of an even cylinder shape, then wrap very tightly with cling film to better form the cylinder. If I'm really...

    Fettuccine Alfredo

    I understand. I'm familiar with that subject. BTW, thanks for mentioning carbonara, something I haven't made in a long time. I'm picking up some guanciale, and maybe fresh pasta, later this week to make the dish this coming weekend.

    Fettuccine Alfredo

    1MoreFord, You're correct. Authentic Italian Fettuccine Alfredo calls for only 3 ingredients. Confidentially, after a long and tiring day at work yesterday my wife wanted nothing more that something simple and quick, and I chose to make Fettuccine Alfredo. As in the movie, I made it the way I...

    Marinate brisket in greek yogurt?

    Interesting question,. I've used Greek yogurt in the past as a marinade for chicken and lamb with good results, but never thought about doing so with a brisket. That said, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work with brisket. If I were in your position, and interested in trying the yogurt...

    Friday Cook...

    Both the ribs and the brisket look great to me. Think you have the new pit dialed in to your satisfaction? Nice job!

    Anyone have a standby generator at the house?

    For about 15 years I've had a 24KW Generac whole house generator running on natural gas at my primary residence in the Chicago area. For around 18 years I had the same unit running on propane with a 500 gallon underground tank at a second home in Sarasota, FL. When I was preparing to make an...

    Beef prices

    Funny - My wife and daughter had dinner last night at Eddie Merlot's. I didn't join them because I met a client for dinner in Oak Brook. Regarding the Oak Brook Costco, I was there a couple years ago when I first discovered that they sold gasoline, and that the prices were pretty attractive...

    Beef prices

    Hello, and yes, you are close by. Coincidentally, I was in Burr Ridge a little earlier today to get an X-Ray done at the Loyola Medical Center satellite facility located there. Afterwards, met a friend for lunch at a nearby restaurant called Topaz. Are you familiar with it? BTW, on the way...

    Beef prices

    Nope, not California. I live in Hinsdale, IL, a suburb of Chicago. Neither one of our cars, an Audi R8 and a Audi RS7, could be considered an "Economy" car by any stretch of the imagination. When I go to a gas pump I may look at the price per gallon and just shrug my shoulders and think "it is...

    Beef prices

    Both my car, as well as my wife's, call for 93 0ctane. They were both pretty low last weekend so I filled them up at the local Shell station we use where the price was $4.39/Gal. They both have 19 gallon tanks, but I don't recall how much gas I pumped. All I know was that the total cost for the...

    Scallops question

    Thanks a lot for the memory jogger, thirdeye. In the early 1970s, early in my career, I was working in NYC, and my fiance and I were living on the upper east side of Manhattan. On the same block of our apartment building was a small local restaurant and lounge that was very much a "Cheers" kind...

    WATCH OUT, JUST RECEIVED THIS P.M.

    Well, I haven't received any PMs from Emily and her friends, and and not sure if I should be happy and relieved, or pissed off and jealous. I hope this doesn't turn out like the hacking fiasco on the forum a few years ago with what seemed like hundreds a new forum postings daily from China...

    Jamaican Pot Roast/Oxtails

    Ah, I forgot about the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. A text book case of an inefficient State run monopoly. In 1979, I negotiated, and was awarded, a comprehensive one-year consulting contract with a major company headquartered in Bethlehem, PA. At the time, I lived in NYC and I knew that...

    Jamaican Pot Roast/Oxtails

    The rum is an extra touch that fits the French term "Je Ne Sais Quoi" which refers to a feature of an item, or even a person, that while pleasing, you can't identify, distinguish, or describe. Compared to rums from other islands in the Caribbean, aged Jamaican rums are considered superior...

    Jamaican Pot Roast/Oxtails

    I'm a little late to the party, but that's a great looking dish JJ, and a nice presentation, as well. I prepare the same dish occasionally during the cooler months, and your ingredient list looks pretty much spot on with mine. The only differences are that I don't use carrots, but I do add 3-4...

    sous vide bags?

    I've been cooking SV for over a dozen years, and early on I used vacuum sealed bags. Somehow, during a move, the vacuum sealer went astray, and I never bothered to replace it. I've bee using zip lock bags since in sizes from 1 quart to 2½ gallons using the water displacement method and have...

    Franklin BBQ, Goldbelly and the Ripoff of Shipping Fees

    Your comment is partially correct. I have accounts with both Fedex and UPS, though I rarely use UPS. In March, 2020, I received an email from Fedex stating that they were suspending their overnight delivery guarantee. The next day, I received a similar email from UPS. Under the circumstances at...

    Franklin BBQ, Goldbelly and the Ripoff of Shipping Fees

    Daba's BBQ - After reading your extensive commentary of complaint, and doing some quick checking, the quoted price of $249 doesn't seem to be a ripoff at all, assuming you're dead set on getting a pre-cooked brisket from Franklin's BBQ in Austin shipped to your location in NYC. Possibly you...
