    Italian Cantaloupe Sorbet

    Gotta try this. Folks with a local HEB, their branded 'Sugar Rush' melon should be a good candidate.

    Homemade Hot Smoked Paprika

    Thanks! Yeah, I just finished harvesting a Yatsufusa pepper plant - the pepper used in shichimi seasoning. I generally get it from the Spice House, and it's definitely better than the crap in the grocery store, but nowhere as good as this. Thank you. It is.

    Ibores-style goat cheese with smoked hot paprika

    So, I'm a little concerned the brine wasn't long enough, but I decided to go with the recipe the first time. https://cheesemaking.com/products/ibores-cheese-making-recipe

    Ibores-style goat cheese with smoked hot paprika

    Goat milk always makes me nervous. Raw organic from the farm is $22/gallon. Last time I used it, it blew and $120 went into the trash. I tried a smaller batch from a different farm, and did a low-temp pasteurization while it was still in the jug. Hopefully there will be no problems. Started...

    Homemade Hot Smoked Paprika

    I decided awhile back I wanted to make an Ibores-style goat cheese with a smoked hot paprika rind. Because there's something wrong with me, I had to do it with paprika I grew. The paprikastarted 4 months ago when I planted Leutschauer Paprika seeds from Baker's Creek in my Aerogarden. I've been...

    Ventricina Hybrid Salami

    Yes. More floral (not surprising). It's different enough that swapping will change the flavor profile some.

    Ventricina Hybrid Salami

    I'm not sure there is a red, lean cut. I'm really interested in your feedback on the casing, I'm always looking for a good large casing that's easier to deal with than a bung. Finally, if you do splurge on some fennel pollen, it pretty much lasts forever if you vac seal it between uses. I'm...

    Smoking Texas Sausage

    What was your sausage recipe? I'm in Austin, and am still trying to nail Lockhart and Elgin sausages. I'm always interested in a new take. Those look great!

    Gado Gado salad

    We use Paprika not only for recipes, but we track our social calendar on it so I know not to plan dinner... It's a fantastic app, and worth getting the desktop+mobile version. Here's a couple of weeks:

    Sous Vide Tri-tip

    I started out at 2 hours many years ago, then kept lengthening it until I hit the perfect spot for my taste.

    Sous Vide Tri-tip

    Thanks! Thank you! It was served with mashed potatoes and cream gravy, so basically a plate of grey goo with some steak... Thanks! It was seared in a 425ish degree F non-stick pan using my hand to push it flat, 60 secs/side, then finished with butter. While it got a great sear, also be aware...

    Franklin's BBQ Sauce

    I'm not usually big on premix sauces, but Franklin's Spicy and Franklin's Vinegar sauce (I use it exclusively for pulled pork) are both fantastic, and certainly less of a pain than my homemade sauce.
