    CCW Course tomorrow

    Lotta Beretta 15 rd mags have weaker springs than they should. They aren't stiff enough to force the follower up hard enough to engage the lock. If you call Beretta and kick up a fuss they MIGHT swap your mag out. Tell them it won't feed rounds but that you have 4 other mags that work fine...

    CCW Course tomorrow

    Same. I also don't open carry. I tried it a few times with my big beautiful Beretta but that damn thing is as heavy as, well, a big metal gun - with 18 rounds in it..... I do want to try it an a shoulder holster. It's funny because when I was younger I concealed a 1911 - which is heavier...

    Tri-tip Sale...

    I love the stuff but I just can't pay what they want for it. I might have to stop and see if I can get a pair of those though. That stuff makes great sandwich meat cooked m/r and shaved, 100X better than eye of round IMO.

    Jalapeño Cheddar sausage

    Oh man, I'm still working through my freezer stock from where I made sausage every weekend a few months ago when I was trying to figure it out - but that makes me want to make more right now. Looks like perfection.

    Montreal Smoked meat

    Nice! I prefer a pastrami without coriander in the rub (I use extra in the brine) and your Montreal smoked meat is what I'd more call pastrami. Dill and meat are not my jam generally so I shy away from traditional Montreal profiles. I also shy away from traditional pastrami profiles since I...

    Atlantic Beach NC!

    Oak is something special though. You also get to see something very unusual on Oak Island. The sun sets OVER the ocean. Took my ex brother in law once and it really tripped him out. I was used to it and wondered why he kept looking at the sky like he's gone insane.

    Winco Egg-Price Ripoff!!!!

    Went from 5.99 straight to 9.99 a 30 pack at the Kroger affiliate. Still the best price in town. Publix was 11 bucks for 18.

    waking up the kitchenaid mixer thread

    The lady decided I needed one for Christmas. She bought a 5.5 qt direct from KA. Lift bowl. I think I preferred my tilt Artisan but there ain't nothing about the lift I'd really complain about. Took me about 30 seconds to figure out that you just detach the attachment after you drop the...

    Cranberry walnut and cherry walnut sourdough .

    Ok now, I am not much on adding things to bread BUT I seriously doubt a loaf of that would last me more than 2 days. DAMN Edit: the cherry one....

    Homemade Dogfood

    My grandfather would pressure cook chicken (bones and all) and feed it to his Saint Bernards. He would also toss them things like possums and raccoons (and once, a whole deer carcass that someone had hit up close to his house) I dunno about the science behind it (and this was 30odd years ago)...

    50/50 whole grain rye sourdough

    See if you can get them to try it toasted. I will eat rye untoasted but it's not my favorite, but toasted rye is delicious.

    SC BBQ hash, Midway style

    It's keto too, especially with the added butter. I tossed in a stick plus a couple of tablespoons worth but it would support more. You could back off on the onion, but IMO onion helps with the texture. Just rice up some cauliflower and there you go. At first all of the fat sits up on top and...

    PSA for deep south peeps

    With these sub 20 temps and garage fridges don't forget that your freezer might start to defrost. Unless you have a higher end unit, the fridge will not run enough to keep the freezer at temp. I put a big pot of hot water in it at night to make sure it runs long enough to get the freezer all...

    Favorite cooker you own?

    A cinder block pit that I threw together for about 20 bucks. Had a big sheet of stainless steel that I appropriated from a failed project at work for a lid, and old oven grates for racks. Most of the concrete blocks were free, bought a few of those and some of the solid 3" ones I used here...

    SC BBQ hash, Midway style

    Lol, Midway. It's a BBQ house that sits kinda midway between 2 specific BBQ regions of SC.

    SC BBQ hash, Midway style

    So I was inspired by @Gonna Smoke to revisit this. I'd wanted to try it his way (and I will) but I had the craving for Midway BBQ beef style. I did add about 15-20% pork belly just because I wanted to. Started with a little less than a 3lb chuck and about 3/4 lb belly. Tossed on the smoker...

    Whats on the menu this weekend???

    @Gonna Smoke posted up something that I'm going to revisit. I've tried to make SC bbq hash a few times but never got it right. Gonna try it one more time because his looked so good.
