    Red's Spare Ribs - First Run in the New Pit w/ Plenty of Q-View

    I aspire to these ribs! Hope your wife is better soon. I never sit down for being sick, but I got totally taken out by the flu this year. I imagine those ribs are good for what ails ya, though!

    First Smoke Today!

    Today's the day! Last night we got a big, hot fire going and seasoned the new offset. Really understand why you need to do that, now, for sure... it smelled **awful** at first! But got much better after a couple of hours. Also, it was a good way to see where the flaws are in this inexpensive...

    Smoked Boudin-Stuffed Collard Rolls from the January Throwdown

    AWESOME. Thank you. Once we recover from a (possibly irresponsible) purchase of some concert tickets, I will revisit this!

    Smoked Boudin-Stuffed Collard Rolls from the January Throwdown

    I will say there is a bit of flavor from the collards that did come through... but it wasn't like eating a mess o' greens or anything. :) Thanks!

    Smoked Boudin-Stuffed Collard Rolls from the January Throwdown

    The greens were perfect. Since they were still, essentially, cooking -- it was hot enough to do that. There was a little 'pop' when you bit into them, so it was more like biting into a sausage than a cabbage roll. But you're right; this was definitely a cabbage roll-inspired creation. The...

    Mad Hunky Salmon

    Wow, there's the mark I missed with my first try at smoked salmon! That looks amazing. :)

    Smoked Boudin-Stuffed Collard Rolls from the January Throwdown

    I finally had a minute to put this together, in case anyone's interested! It's more of a peek at my process than an actual recipe, though I'll try to quantify this at some point so I can reproduce it easily going forward. I'd been wanting to make boudin for ages, but I don't have a device that...

    Thanks, guys! (Sorry to be late to say that, but I was off gallivanting in the woods all weekend!) I am going to try some (especially thick) lamb chops this way over the weekend. Can't wait!

    Venison Medallions with Spicy Blackberry Sauce

    I agree! I've never subscribed to the idea that I have to "eat like a bird," either. Though I was kinda taught that growing up as a "young lady" in the South... :P

    Turkish cold smoked beef sausage ( Sudjuk, Sucuk )

    When I lived in TN, I had neighbors who raised goats for meat, but now that I'm stuck in the big city, I just go to a Halal meat market. There are admittedly a lot of them in this area, but I was surprised to find more than a few tucked away in Richmond, VA when I wanted some for a family thing...
