    Finally got to use my homebuilt ABT racks

    I had to Google ABT and nearly snorted my coffee. ;)

    More Bread...

    It's something you kind of have to get a "feel" for, that's for sure. I was lucky... my mom has a picture of me making biscuits when I was barely 3... it's kind of in my blood! I'll bet you could take the dough to the proof stage in your machine, though, and then do the second rise and baking...

    More Bread...

    I am a total noob with the smoking, but bread I can help with! Here's how I make my Italian monkey bread, which can easily be adapted to any shape of loaf or roll you like. In mixer: 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup flour, 2 pkgs. (2 1/2 tsp.) yeast - whisk well and let it stand for a few minutes...

    Foodsafety

    I have a PDF copy of the ServSafe Food Safety Manager study guide... not sure if it's ok to upload files here or not, though... will try and see if it works!

    Where to buy pork belly?

    Don't feel bad... where I live, **everything** is 30 minutes away. Traffic. :(

    Where to buy pork belly?

    I'll just throw this out here, in case you're ever in a pinch... they're expensive, but if you get stuck and need pork belly, Whole Foods always has them. In fact, barring a decent butcher shop near my house (the one down the street just closed last year after something like 30-40 years in...

    50th Anniversary Cake (Homemade)

    What's not to like! I have to admit... I kind of took a break from reading the general topic threads (I was being obsessive and reading e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g) and just started to read all of your posts! I about DIED when I saw smoked prime rib. Now I know what to make for our 10th anniversary...

    Deer brat pics and a question.

    That looks amazing! I sure miss having access to venison.

    My first Tasso!

    Funny... I just got some pecan wood last night, because that's what I liked to use back in Memphis (and I rarely see it here, though they had it at Home Depot for some reason!) And I never thought about using sugar cane, though I can imagine that would be great... my grandaddy used to grow it...

    My first Tasso!

    Thanks for the tip... I was honestly wondering if the chunks might work, but I worried that they might be hard to get smoking when there are only a couple of briquettes lit at a time. With the chips, I just scatter them over the length of the line of coals, all the way around. Would you do the...

    My first Tasso!

    So this was my first adventure into smoking something other than a whole butt or bird of some sort, and I am really happy with the way it turned out! I wasn't sure about the timing... I've had (really good) tasso hams with very different textures, but I was targeting my own preferences, which...

    Hi from the DC area!

    No, neither of us works for the government, but an awful lot of our friends are. :(

    Hi from the DC area!

    Not yet... but this is literally on our list! Even though it's almost exactly due east of us, we've not actually been up that far north in our travels -- so far (we've had the boats for four seasons, but back surgery took me out of commission for one of those) we've explored points south and...

    Hi from the DC area!

    Thanks! We are in your neck of the woods pretty often... that's some good kayaking country! :)

    Hi from the DC area!

    Thanks! And I'm gonna be working on that for sure! ;)

    Hi from the DC area!

    I was out grilling (though not smoking) in 12"+ of snow this past weekend, which is saying something for this southern girl. Brr! :)

    Hi from the DC area!

    I am as yet a wood or charcoal snob, but who knows... maybe I can be converted! Got the beer fridge, though, no worries... I didn't come up here *that* unprepared! :)
