First off, let me apologize in advance for such a long post, but I've now done the largest BBQ I’ve ever done - 100 lbs of Pork Butt for pulled pork sandwiches to feed the homeless in Austin, TX! I smoked them on Saturday as I knew they'd take a long time and I wanted to be sure it would be...
Looked pretty good to me Robert! Then again, if it tasted outstanding, who cares how it looked as I'm sure you weren't looking at it too long before it was completely devoured!
Sorry you had to go through all that. I myself had a pretty bad accident and literally died, but I’m on the mend now and looking forward to competing. I would say I’m just dying to compete but at this juncture in my life, that joke isn’t as funny as it used to me.
Best of luck to you (and...
I was able to score some CPM beef ribs from my good friend @tx smoker and finally had a chance to smoke them on Monday. I wasn't sure I had enough for everyone, so I also threw on a rack from the local HEB (I save the other rack I got from Robert for date night 🤣 ).
I rubbed them down with...
Yours looks amazing, much better than mine did. You only seasoned yours with black pepper? Mine is good, don't get me wrong, but I think I do still like pork bacon better, so I guess I will have to try again to see if I can improve it up to the standards of the likes of you and Robert @tx...
Yours looks great! Robert told me I'd have to fry mine up mine slower and longer in the skillet, and he was (of course) right! Yours definitely looks better than mine did, so I guess that means I need to make some more to see if I can get it right this time. 🤣
I've been curing my own pork bacon for awhile now, but my good friend @tx smoker told me about his Beef Belly saga and convinced me to give it a try. Well, I was able to score some CPM beef belly from him and did give it a try and I've got to say, it's pretty dang good! I've tried a few...
So my good friend @tx smoker has been showing off his Picanha and encouraged me to make one, so yesterday I did because I had some crab legs left over from Valentine’s Day, but not enough for a whole meal for 3 people. I happen to have a Picanha roast in the freezer though and some fresh green...
First, let me apologize for such a long post! Second, I thought I'd give you all a little history since many of you don't know me... Several years ago I became good friends with a gentlemen who built my house. Not only was he one of if not THE top builders in Texas at the time, but he was a...
I'm not sure if this is allowed or not, so if not, I apologize and please feel free to remove it...
I got tired of going back/forth to my computer in order to calculate how much cure, salt and sugar I needed when curing my bacon, so being that I create mobile apps, I created an iPhone app...
Game? What game, there was a game on? I was too busy working on my Salami recipes to notice! LOL
That does look good brother, unfortunately I'd have to cremate some of mine for Dana, but mine would be great just like you showed! I've got a couple of those in my freezer I've been meaning to...
To say it was absolutely amazing would be and understatement. The meal was so delicious, but it was even better being able to spend time with Robert & Tracy again as well as introduce my love Dana to them. Can’t wait to have them over to our place and cook for them!
Per that link: But dry foods are not the only ones that can be stored with these items. Jams, jellies and spreads should be sealed in jars, then placed in the pantry for long-term storage. This is ideal for those large batches of homemade jam you're planning to hand out over the holidays, as...
