    Some random things wrapped in sausage

    Jim, you already have a great reputation around this house ever since you posted a smoke using a Taco Bell Burrito. After that one, your reputation was sealed as the greatest inventor! Today, expanding your envelope yet further.....onion slabs (beautiful!).....piergoies (brilliant and...

    Jim, you've got to give that mustard a shot. Unbelievably good on the pastrami sammie and love to dip Funyons in it too (the fake onion rings from the potato-chips aisle). Hey nice to know they got a canned (?) frozen (?) line of foods out. They have a restaurant in Richmond, VA called...

    That is one outstanding success you made there, congratulations. The pepper really made it look good, along with the pieces of carrots in there. I'm definitely going to go the pepper route next time! Think you've done an excellent job in your old-world recipes quest, and certainly have earned...

    making rivet's head cheese

    Excellent job so far, Ron! You are right on the money, I had 50/50 meat and discards after picking through mine too. Hocks and shanks and feet have very little meat on them hence the pork chops. I don't think I'd mentioned it but I found about 1/3 LB of Capicola from the deli counter in the back...

    Another package from Rivet, boy am I happy!

    Hi Jim, glad you enjoyed the package! Let me know how that old world steak rub comes out on your chuckie...haven't tried that one myself but I was thinking it would match up perfectly with smoked chuck rather than a grilled steak. You sure did good on our back and forth regarding your flavor ID...

    Looking mighty fine there! The last pic shows the liquid picking up that pale opaque look to it which means your getting the nice gelatin released in there that you want. Thse carrots did the trick on the pepper didn't they? Good deal. No worries though, everything evens out with that dash of...

    That's looking real good so far! You're good to go on the ingredients and I think the smoked hocks are really going to add something special to the finished goods. Great idea you had and looking forward to the rest. You're making some great old-timey stuff there buddy!

    Which smoker should i get

    I first learned how to smoke a chicken on an ECB back in college and had great success after that. Awesome little unit there and I am seriously thinking about buying another one to back-up my SnP. For 30 bucks the time is right, and perfect for a small smoke!

    Who Cooks In Your House???

    In many cases Mrs Rivet cooks better than I can (indoor cooking), and I tell her that~ Still, she'd rather not cook if she has a choice so I'm guessing it's 50/50 here.
