    US cattle count down to 1950's levels.

    It's gotta be our fault. With thousands of avid smokers on this forum, beef production can't possibly keep up.

    Down for the count-at least two months.

    Man I could go for a Muffaletta

    My wife has mastered the muffuletta, though I can't claim to know how she does it. It took her a few tries to really get it nailed down. Oddly enough, one of the local ski hills always has muffuletta on the menu at the lodge cafe. They're actually pretty decent, even though the bread isn't...

    Down for the count-at least two months.

    Verry sorry to hear this. What hill was it on, if I may ask? I've upped my ski time considerably since moving to north Idaho last year--5 hills within 90 minutes--but since I now qualify for senior ticket pricing, I'm becoming a bit more aware how quickly things can go badly.

    Bœuf Bourgignon

    Looks good, and you had me at 'simple'. As a treat for my wife, and soon after she set me down to watch Julie and Julia with her, I made Boeuf Bourgignon exactly following the recipe Julia Child made famous. It was REALLY good. And it must have taken six hours, with no down time There was...

    Bœuf Bourgignon

    Yes, but they're testing for different things. Infectious diseases, yes. Lipid panel, not so much..

    Ink Bird Product promo?

    Is there a problem getting the reimbursement if the review you leave is negative? Or less than positive?

    Top round for pulled/shredded beef

    Never let a good sale on meat go to waste. I’ll add my vote to using it to make jerky.

    Quickest way to defrost chicken wings before grilling

    The bagged party wings I usually buy say “Cook from Frozen” right on the package. That said, I’m skeptical and have never tried it. I thaw them first, fridge or bowl of cold water.

    What was the last concert that you went to?

    I don’t get to a lot of concerts, but I did go see ZZ Top in Morristown, NJ a few years before my recent move to Idaho. Great show-I’ve always liked their stuff. Coincidentally, my son—a guitarist--was passing through the passenger terminal at LAX just two days ago and he ran into Billy Gibbons.

    Sauerbraten and semmelknödel

    Gotta have spaetzle! But boxed spaetzle, when you can find it, is expensive. Spaetzle makers are expensive The first pic shows what you can do with a 99 cent plastic bowl from Walmart, and a drill press. Dump the batter in the bowl and use a spatula to work it through the holes into a pot...

    "Dispatching" Skunks

    I worked on a ranch growing up. One day the foreman, out baling hay, ran a skunk through the baler. Apparently it had been hiding in the windrow and got picked up by the machine. We had to park that baler out away from the shop and barns for the rest of the summer.

    Thanksgiving Throwdown Winner Is

    Congratulations, @civilsmoker and @Rafter H BBQ and everyone else! Some fine entries. With my humble entry in the mix, it appears Idaho smokers took 3 of the top 5 places! (I knew entering a side containing Brussels sprouts would be too polarizing. Even I don't like them!)

    Harbor Freight IR gun ?

    I suspect the cheap ones are plenty accurate for our purposes; I would recommend one where you can select the emissivity setting. Some of the really cheap ones come pre-set to .98 or so, which works fairly well for measuring food temps, but if you need to measure the surface temp of other...

    Freezing Meats???

    We just joined the vacuum sealer fan club. I got my wife a Nesco VS12 for Christmas--it always seemed to be in the top 3 regardless of what organization was rating vacuum sealers, and ATK placed it first. So far, we've only used it to seal packs of leftover Christmas ham, but I can see it...
