    Am I Wrong to be Crying Right Now?

    I was on my best friend's account. He passed away last year, and not only do I miss him, I miss being his unpaid intern who had access to Restaurant Depot. Great place to find meat on discount.

    Latest Bacon Project

    I'd trim it off. Did you use any Cure #1, also known as sodium nitrite or Prague powder?

    What Additive Is It...?

    Wow, okay, good to know it's not some chemical they use to clean the processing equipment. I've never seen it on anything I've made.

    My New Recteq Backyard Beast 1200, Condo-Style

    Well, I'm on the top 4th floor in a corner unit, so hopefully the smoke will just go up and away. During the outage, a few of us gathered outside in the parking lot for beers and conversation. I found out that there is a guy on the 2nd floor who also makes his own bacon. Not sure what kind of...

    What Additive Is It...?

    I've been looking at some of the great stuff you all have been making, and this thought occurred to me. What is it that gives some store-bought cured meats, like Canadian bacon or ham, that titanium, rainbow-colored effect? Always wondered if I was being poisoned?

    Well, this was a turn of events.

    Gorgeous! I saw some at the state fair this summer that blew my mind. Yours is right up there, too. My folks went thru a succession of trailers, but this resembles the one I spent much of my youth in. Looks pretty pitiful compared to the new ones.

    Tri Tip- didn't go as planned! quite...

    Agree with following the slicing technique. But when you get that right, you'll be treated to a cut as tender and flavorful as any tenderloin I've had.

    Smoke Meat Hawaiian Style!

    Oh, man. I can almost smell it through the screen!

    Ok, ruined smoked chuck roast has become a very good stew. Next time I'll try something that doesn't take as long. As long as there are no more power outages.

    What she really wanted...

    That looks so good. I really miss fresh shrimp. We used to have about a 2-week season on Spot Shrimp here in Puget Sound. I'd go down to the docks here in Everett and buy it right off the boats. Then they cut it back to 1 or 2 days, and it isn't worthwhile for the fishermen to catch them anymore.

    Shrimp Cocktail

    I know they weren't gourmet, but I miss the days of $1 shrimp cocktails in Las Vegas.

    Season 6

    Never seen anything like that flat disc before.

    Peasant Bread

    I recall leaving mine in for an extra 5-10 minutes or so.

    What do you put on your basic hotdog mustard or ketchup?

    For basic, I would go with some sort of specialty mustard. But even French's will do in a pinch. My usual is mustard & chopped onions. But I'm surprised nobody posted this yet. And I agree with it, 100%.

    First American Wagyu Brisket

    Interesting technique, but it sounds like it worked. Congrats!

    Beef jerky

    Dang, that looks delicious. Good job!

    What in the Sweet Baby Jesus is going on? Meat prices.

    Haven't seen one of those guys for quite a while. Most likely ungraded meat, and 1/4" thick steaks.

    The crockpot is a good idea, thanks! I'll just have to sift through about 30 boxes to find it. Still no oven yet. Hopefully by Oct 10th the kitchen remodel should be done.

    And then, disaster struck. Building had a power outage for several hours. Our PUD said it was planned, but they forgot to inform anyone in the building. Roast had only gotten to 157° when it happened. All I could do was wrap it in foil, place in a cooler, and hope for the best. Power came back...

    My happy place 😊. Feel free to tag yours.

    A few pics of my happy place, Puerto Vallarta MX. Been there at least a dozen times, and I still love it.
