    Update on Beer B Que Paul 12/23/11 RIP my friend

    Paul taught me a few things - the one I remember most is how to make pitas. Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion, et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem. Exaudi orationem meam, ad te omnis caro veniet. Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et...

    project pastramă - 2011

    hey, guys - thanks for the kind words - i'll be sure to keep you posted on progress ~ ahron - if you get the chance, give this a try - it's a great way to get in touch with your roots, i'd say. it doesn't need to be made with deer only - it can be made with pretty much any meat - in fact...

    tenderquick cure: amounts and times per pound (wet and dry)

    agreed, venture - in fact, on one site they recommend a combination of injecting and brine-curing, especially if there is any bone involved. the recommendation is to inject along the bone, especially at the ends of the bone.

    The Butte Pasty

    hey, guys - glad you liked ~ i am ashamed to say that i held off on trying this - literally, for eyars - because i was afraid to "screw it up." the truth is that when i finally got down to making it, it was so easy and so fundamentally basic that i was a little mad at myself for putting it off...

    tenderquick cure: amounts and times per pound (wet and dry)

    great onfo, guys - thanks for posting. i think i have it all figured out except when it comes to the brine cure. it seem to me (and i could be wrong) that shooter rick's formula is for dry curing. at the same time, it also seems to me that the 24 hours recommended on the tq bag for brine curing...

    tenderquick cure: amounts and times per pound (wet and dry)

    hey, thanks grampyskids - i've been looking around on their site all morning, but haven't been able to find it. i used to be good at this internet stuff, but i guess technology has passed me by! the meat i'll be using wil be whole cuts, 1-2 inches thick, so i'll see how this works - thanks!
