    A Cow, a Pig, and a Chicken walk into a bar …

    They need to make something to unjam augers, like those hex wrenches for garbage disposals.

    Another pulled pork run...

    I go by Jeff's advice and do butts at 300° now. Takes less time, and aways has a nice bark.

    Peasant Bread

    The two loaf pans produced smaller loaves than pictured for me ( guess I should have just poured it all into one.) But I loved the taste and texture. I'll be making this again soon.

    Peasant Bread

    Giving this a try today. It's on its 2nd rise, as I type. I don't have pyrex bowls, so I put it in two loaf pans. I hope it turns out.

    Freezing them is fine.

    Honest rating 1-10 on my brisket trim.

    If you want to bring your brisket to the next level, try adding this recipe from our good friend, Chef Jimmy J. Simply add the ingredients to a large foil pan, lay a grate over it, and place the brisket on top. Chef Jimmy J's Smokey Au Jus

    Honest rating 1-10 on my brisket trim.

    I leave about 1/4" on the back, and trim out most (not all) of the deckle between the point and flat. Helps keep it moist for the long smoke.

    No idea how to trim it but it was mooing yesterday 😊🤪

    If it was processed just a few days ago, I'd leave it in the cryovac for at least 3 weeks to wet age. Or better yet, get an Umai bag for brisket, and dry age it. Beef that is "too fresh" can have a liver-like flavor to it. Just my opinion, FWIW.

    So many tomatoes....

    I always made pasta sauce out of extra tomatoes. Never could get catnip to grow well, as the neighbor cats would trash the plants overnight as soon as they started sprouting leaves.

    Christmas came early! Too early. The email I got from the shipping company said it would be here on Friday at the soonest. I wasn't even at work for an hour this morning, when the driver calls me and says, "I'm here!" I ask if he can leave it at my door? He says the pallet won't fit in the...

    Reports just in, Travis Kelce's proposal to Taylor Swift has been called back after officials ruled that Kelsey's knee failed to touch the ground.

    Most places, yes. That was my main consideration when I was looking. The bylaws here forbid only charcoal, and propane-where the bottle/tank is larger than 1 lb. So as far as I can see, I'm in the clear. Plus I'm on the top floor, corner unit; and the deck is well away from my two next door...

    Thanks! Just hope that I'll be able to afford to buy some beef by then. I still have a pork butt in the freezer; probably start with that, or some chicken.

    Not officially. I own it, but am still at my apartment for now. I could've broken the lease and owed 2 months rent in penalties, or stay and pay 1 month of rent. So I chose the latter, and am using that time to renovate the condo. Smoker is being shipped straight to the condo, though.

    Put in my order today. Now it feels like waiting for Christmas to come. Got $100 off, but that didn't even cover the sales tax for WA state. But hey, free shipping, so I can't complain too much.

    Use Kroger coupons and coupons from the Kroger family of stores from nation wide weekly ad digital coupons at your local Kroger

    That's the most likely reason for one of them. I've seen homeless addicts walk out with merchandise many times, and the employees aren't allowed to stop them. The other one, I have no idea why. It's in an affluent neighborhood, and is always very busy every time I've been there.

    More from my local diner

    A drunk driver was running from the police yesterday, and crashed into a building across the street from this diner. One killed, the other one injured. Poetic, no?
