    Smoked lamb heads

    I did try an eye ball for the first time. It was fine eaten with a tortilla. Texture was something between slightly under-rendered fat and gelatin. Not much discernable flavor.

    Smoked lamb heads

    Last night I shredded the meat off. Meat was tender and moist. Rich but relatively mild flavor. Served with shredded cabbage, chopped red onion, limes and "Mexican orange sauce" made with home smoked/dehydrated chiles. Never tried this type of sauce before, but it was tasty! Between me, my...

    Smoked lamb heads

    Decided to write this up, since I tried searching and there was very little that come up. Helped some friends butcher lambs and none of the families wanted the heads. Walked away with 3 skinned heads. Soaked in a week brine (1/2 cup salt per gallon water) in the fridge for 24 hours. Changed the...

    Fermented okra advice?

    I don't this was a few years before I got a pH meter. Use well water for all ferments. We definitely left the stem intact. Just harvested at least 2 pint jars, they are kicking it into gear. Maybe I'll just give it another go soon.

    Fermented okra advice?

    It's been about 2 years, but I think we split the tips on one to try to get the brine inside. The other we left whole I think. I happen to like the texture of cooked okra, so when I say slimy, I really mean it was intense. Not only inside the okra, but all the brine as well. A stronger brine...

    Who roasts their own coffee on their BBQ or Grill?

    I had a recent roasting adventure. Last time I ordered beans, they had a natural process robusta. I know of robusta as a high caffeine, cheap commodity coffee, but this was promised to be a high quality offering. I only had a lb, so roasted it to city+/full city, and gave 1/5 of it to 4...

    You ruined Starbucks for her... Blessing or curse, only time will tell, lol.

    Fermented okra advice?

    My family loves (refrigerator ) picked okra and fermented vegetables. A successful fermented okra has eluded us though. Both times we have done a simple 2% brine and the result is slimy. Like the brine turns into half way to being snot. We ended up throwing both out. Had anyone fermented okra...

    Sriracha copy cat recipe

    We have tried this brand. I like it. My wife not as much. But it tastes "latino" type flavor to me. Not Asian. Favor just isn't right. Would love to know how this is. It's a hefty price for sure, but if it's making sauce with $15/lb peppers or buying $11 bottles, it might be a toss up.

    Sriracha copy cat recipe

    Interesting. Looks like the original pepper grower has a sriracha they produce now. Trying to see if there is somewhere local to get it.

    Sriracha copy cat recipe

    Probably chose the wrong emoji there. I was laughing, not offended. I am 1000% self enabled.. Luckily for me, my wife is supportive in the issue.

    Sriracha copy cat recipe

    Yeah, this adds to the conundrum. Fresno's are available but an expensive novelty. Red jalapenos... Never seen them honestly. At this point I might have to wait until there are ripe yellow hots (red) in September or so. Might have to phone a (neighbor) friend.

    Sriracha copy cat recipe

    I agree with @Steve H . I also don't like to blend before ferment. But now I can't remember if I used vinegar... I also questioned the red jalapenos. But I searched and the Internet seems pretty sure that's the right pepper. Thanks for the pointer @KBFlyer .

    Sriracha copy cat recipe

    I saw $120 supposedly, lol. I look at it from the opposite perspective. If I make just one bottles worth, it easily justifies the new crock I want. Heck, I could buy 2! That's the fastest ROI I've ever seen for a diy anything! 🤣

    Didn't even know there were different brands... That's the one we have and want to replicate.

    Sriracha copy cat recipe

    Tried searching but didn't find anything. We have just about finished our last bottle of sriracha. With Sriracha basically unavailable, I'd like to make some. I tried once before, it was a delicious sauce, but it wasn't sriracha. Anyone got a copy cat recipe they like? Thanks! P.s. previously...

    I planted 43 seed varieties (Milpa Garden) all mixed together...in a 100 yard long garden test strip

    Never heard of this. Very curious how it turns out for you.

    Whole hog roster / rotisserie advice

    Yup! You can cook 14 brats on a 200 gal smoker, but you can't smoke 20 briskets on a "normal" backyard smoker 🤣 Oh yeah! We love kraut. This batch isn't actually ready, but my wife pulled some off for dinner. It was still a little sweet and cabbage-y. I like kraut to pucker the lips. Was still...
