    What you cooking for Superbowl

    I chuckle when I hear a commercial refer to "The Big Game" because they didn't buy the license to say "Super Bowl."

    Need fermentation subforum?

    I would say vegetables. I can't imagine fermented meat without thinking of my beloved zombie movies.

    How Do You Know When You’re Getting Old?

    When I was a kid, the speed limit was lowered to 55 MPH because of an oil crisis. At the time, I thought it would be grand if I lasted that long. Fifty-five years-old would be fine for me, thank you very much. I'm exceeding the speed limit now. I'm holding up pretty well but for the wear and...

    Need fermentation subforum?

    Would it be a good idea to start up an offshoot under food preservation for fermentation? I'm going down that whole rabbit hole and can find a lot of posts on here that are very helpful but they are scattered here and there. Anybody else fermenting things? Where are you mostly posting so I can...

    It's Kirby time!

    SmokinEdge, I'm hoping to stay relevant, too. I have a Jillmo kit coming. It looks like jar covers with airlocks. I also have glass weights on the way. Mrs. Murphy loved the corned beef I made from info found here. She wants pastrami, rye bread, and sauerkraut. I've done lots of sourdough but...

    Im fixing to jump down another rabbit hole

    Poor bugger. :emoji_laughing: I'm inching up to the hole. This place has EVERYTHING! I just explored a little of smoking-meat.com. There's more here than I will ever digest. Murph

    It's Kirby time!

    Never mind... I read more carefully... vinegar in the first paragraph. <gulp> :emoji_hushed: Sooooo.... what's in your pickling spice mix? Murph

    It's Kirby time!

    Steve, timely post as I'm going to start my first sauerkraut with is naturally fermented. I found this post looking for a good pickling spice mix because I'll do pickles if the kraut works. What's in your mix? I don't see vinegar in your recipe. Is this naturally fermented? Murph

    I hate this freaking website

    That's the thing.... Pop's brine and whatever 15 year-old sticks and seeds I had in the cupboard... I eyeballed the cupboard scrapings because I wasn't expecting much. Just wanted some experience... my WORD! Best darned stuff we ever tasted! Can you imagine what a little effort would have...

    I hate this freaking website

    I hate this stinkin' website. It's going to cost me a llloooot of money. It has EVERYTHING! And all I wanted was to learn how to cure jerky to make it safe. How come you know so much and make it seem so fun and easy? Why can't you just do like everyone else and just post cat pictures or...

    Brisket - Corned beef and Pastrami

    I just did my first corned beef and WOW! It came out great! It really is better than store-bought. Who knew?!? I wish I wrote down what I threw in there so I can do it again. Ah, well... I want to do a pastrami next. Isn't pastrami just thin-cut corned beef? Or is it a different spice and...

    Man, that stinks. Sorry about that. I hope you get past frustrated and sad to setting your mind to what has to be done for a speedy recovery. You got this. Murph

    Big Nor'easter coming

    Man, I'm so tired of IPA. They taste like somebody's front lawn. So boring. There's so much of that stuff at the beer department that it's hard to find anything else.

    Jerky Recipe ?

    Devo1, I'm dredging up an old post but you've been so generous with your recipe and responses. Got time for another?... I've been slicing an eye round and THEN wet curing. Are you curing (and baking off/smoking?) a whole roast and slicing later? I've seen your later post of strips hanging in a...

    Jerky Recipe ?

    Done me in... yep! Sometimes I'll look back and wonder why I'm still alive. You're right about being able to tweak a recipe. The nice thing about yours, though, is the simplicity and flavor. Adding the cola gives someone permission to do whatever they want with it (ginger ale, whipped cream?)...

    Big Nor'easter coming

    We're staring at 2X that in Massachusetts. Bragging rights ring hollow under that much snow. Ugh. Wanna trade? I'll even throw in some fresh-cured brisket... Murph
