    Burnt Ends

    Thanks for the reply and link. :) I had a feeling the flat was different, it looked thinner than the pics of packers I've found around here.

    Burnt Ends

    Maybe a dumb question. Does Beef Brisket Flat = Full Packer? Smoking my first brisky right now!

    Spices you don't like...

    Marigold is a interesting plant! ~An "Old wives tale" I grew up hearing and seeing; marigolds planted in a tomato garden keep a certain tomato plant insect away. ~I have a friend who grows an edible flower garden (she grew up in CA, moved to LA at 16 yrs old), marigold is one of the most...

    Spices you don't like...

    I've heard marigold referred to as "poor man's saffron".

    Spices you don't like...

    I just thought of a spice I don't like... Saffron. I've never eaten it. But I have smelled it in an exorbitantly priced perfume, I ordered a 1mL sample of the fragrance just to see what it was like. It's a "handsome" smell, and it does have an opulent character. So, the reason why I don't like...

    Whats your favorite fat?

    I got my pork fat today, plus 25lbs of beef fat. Figured I'd share some pics. I got 60lbs of pork trimmings in one solid frozen block. Right now I'm taking a break after portioning out half of it in to various 2,3,4,5 pound vacuum sealed bags. The pieces were just tossed into a box, so they...

    I apologize, but every sandwich you've ever eaten, and every one you'll eat in the future, is inferi

    Nuh-uh! You're pulling my pork loving leg! That bread looks too perfect, pro. Ok, my sandwiches submit to yours. Thanks for the details and inspiration, I appreciate it. :)

    That's so creative and beautiful, Md! I love bacon, can cook it and sew with it. :) You must know I have questions... what temp did you bake that at? And tease you... what the heck!?! Where's the home made bread!?! ;p

    Panties

    Ha! :p She could have saved some money and a bullet by shaving with her husband's razor, then if she didn't get what she wanted she could just not change out the blade for a slow painful burning revenge.

    I was bored today, so I got busy and did this

    Oh yeah, I've eaten buttermilk pie before, love it! It's a sweet custard, looks like the OP chess pie. Thanks for translating Roller. ;p

    I was bored today, so I got busy and did this

    Oooo, both those pies look excellent! I've never heard of either before this, thanks for sharing. :) So that chess pie is a custard type?... yep, I could prolly gorge myself on that one.

    Creole goodness...

    I agree, the melt in your mouth kind are the best! I also don't like the condensed milk praline recipes. Just a little too creamy I think, kinda makes em cloyingly sweet. And just a thought, I think I'll break some of those whole pecans in half next time. That may make it easier to pour, and...

    Whats your favorite fat?

    Yaay! I helped! I also talked to my local butcher, he said he'd order some 50/50 pork for me. Should be here this thursday. He said that's what the deer proce$$ors use. We spoke briefly about a broad spectrum of fat, so I kinda forgot what exactly I'm getting... I think it's pork belly. When...

    Spices you don't like...

    I don't enjoy allspice or clove in anything. Almond extract isn't a favorite of mine. I really don't like synthetic vanillin, unless it's been blended well (this holds true in perfumery for me too- I'm a bit of a perfumista ;p) I love cilantro, Chef Julia Child hated it. One thing I've always...
