    Kids wanted homemade Pizza tonight.

    Publix saved the day. Kids loved it. Did a taste experiment with two different pepperonis. So, Publix always has fresh pizza dough in the bakery area. I grabbed two, grabbed some basil pasta sauce, and plenty of cheese and pepperoni. Threw the dough on the counter for 2 hours to rise...

    Sams briskets back to normal pricing again.

    Pandemic prices were at 8.99/lb. just swung through there for more beer and spices. They had brisket at 2.79/lb. grabbed a 16 pounder for a Sunday cook this weekend. Glad to see the meat back in stock and at decent prices again.

    First attempt at Italian dry cured sausage.

    Ok, added 5g #2 salt. Mixed it up really well, soaked the casings for about 30 minutes. Then loaded up my jerky gun and made my first ever sausages. It was actually easier than I thought. I pin pricked them in places I could see air, and hung them in the coolest room of the house with a fan...

    Made Pastrami yesterday.

    I took some to work. I threw some Swiss on it, tossed it in the toaster oven, toasted some buns and put some spicy brown mustard on it and shared with 3 guys. They asked me when I’m making more.

    First attempt at Italian dry cured sausage.

    Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t it call for another 3% by weight? With #2 cure being 94% ish table salt it’s going to be like putting about 6% salt.

    My BBQ cart build.

    First attempt at Italian dry cured sausage.

    I’ve already added 3% salt to this pork, if I add #2 curing salt this is just going to be like a salt lick. I guess I have to start all over again huh?

    First attempt at Italian dry cured sausage.

    This is exactly why I posted this. Thanks for the heads up. Looks like if you’ve been doing dry cured sausages in the same building forever it will have the good bacteria present. So no need for the curing salts. I’d rather be safe than sorry. I appreciate the feedback.
