    What do you put on your basic hotdog mustard or ketchup?

    6 or 7 years ago we had planned on cooking 150 brats at work. The week before I was in South Dakota and stumbled across some Woeber's mustard, and bought 3 kinds. It was a big hit.

    What in the Sweet Baby Jesus is going on? Meat prices.

    My Sam's has Choice briskets for $5.22 and Prime for 6.42. This a big increase from just a month or so ago. For the longest time, one market had a $5 Friday special, which was 1-1/2 pound packs of 80/20 ground beef. Two weeks ago, the $5 Friday special changed to 1 pound packs.

    What do you put on your basic hotdog mustard or ketchup?

    I like mustard on the basic dog. And I always spiralize them. A topped dog will get some queso on the bun, the hotdog, mustard, onion, and sometimes sauerkraut

    No I don't. With the exception of Summer sausage, I've always used natural casings. But they are on my list to try.

    Pre cured pork shoulder?

    Having the blade bone, and weighing about 4 pounds.... it sounds like you have the bottom portion of a pork butt. The (horn) muscles are some of the best on the roast. Here is a cross section of a pork butt. You have the section on the left side.

    Carver Hams Are Back...

    It's a type. They are described as an outside ham muscle. So producers isolate that particular muscle, and I believe cut it in half. This provides the suggested slicing face. They are 3.5 to 4 pounds, so very affordable for gifting or taking to a party or pot luck.

    Carver Hams Are Back...

    They have a mild smoky flavor, but a 90 minute 'second smoke' wakes up the flavor. I have plenty of previous posts in the archives.

    Chuck Short Rib Pastrami

    I'm all for corning beef ribs for pastrami. A couple of Texas BBQ joints are selling pastramied plate ribs, Dino size, and they sell for around $30 per rib.

    Carver Hams Are Back...

    ... at Sam's Club. Just in time for the Fall holidays. The ones I bought all had December sell-by dates. I smoked one for some friends to take on a hunting trip, then sliced another and gave it a light smoke.

    What in the Sweet Baby Jesus is going on? Meat prices.

    My Sam's has Chuck Roll in the walk-in for restaurants that grind their own burger. You just have to ask. These are in the 10# range and boneless so easy to portion or grind yourself. Modern science...

    Post your favorite knife!

    Well I wouldn't use a rock to pound it through a deer pelvis, but the sharpness makes up for the lightweight feel of the models I have. The Talon series looks more heavy duty.

    Post your favorite knife!

    When the earlier Havalon folding knives came out I had to check them out. The Talon system looks like a big step up.

    What in the Sweet Baby Jesus is going on? Meat prices.

    About a week ago OPEC+ voted to increase production in October. It might not move the needle much at the pump.

    Smoked Salmon

    A friend was in Alaska earlier this year and brought back salmon, halibut and cod. I'm curing a piece of salmon today for hot smoking tomorrow.
