    Grape vine cuttings

    I use vines and it is my go-to if I want something a bit sweeter but don't want to go with apple. If I have peach I go with that over the grape.

    Fess up folks. Who besides me sniffs the smoke from the stack?

    I use my hand to waft the smoke towards me so I can tell how it is going based on the smell. Sometimes I do open the smoker right before going out in public. My wife doesn't think it is funny.

    Concerned about color of belly.

    The longer it sits the more muscle breakdown that can happen. I'm pretty sure he has gone in the 45-day range. With the brine, you can't soak too long. I usually go about 25 days.

    Concerned about color of belly.

    I have never had a belly or loin have this much of a color difference. Is it cool to smoke? It has been in the cure/brine for about a month. This is the outside of each. I usually stir them every few days but I got distracted this time.

    Have you made desserts

    I've done a lot of reading, but it all surrounds mental health, specifically bipolar. My fear was/is weight gain in my family, especially my young daughters, 3 and 5. I wasn't sure about it due to stuff I read about weight gain if not followed strictly. I have bipolar and my wife has brain...

    Tasso Time!!!

    What do you call on sale? I always wonder what people pay and feel is a good deal. A local store has them for $1.89 a pound this week and I see that as a great deal, compared to normal prices.

    The fork was a bad choice. They may have been OK if you hadn't used metal.

    Have you made desserts

    Cheesecake is number one on my list. I HATE cheesecake but I hope to make it to my taste. In my opinion, cheese does not belong in desserts. I try it every time it is around, hoping I will like it eventually. I think people that have the breaking issues are just using cheap jars or go...

    Have you made desserts

    I was going to get more specific and I was going to change the title but I couldn't figure out how. I then thought of deleting this and recreating one but I couldn't figure that out either.
