So, my family this year has gotten rather large (I have 3 sisters with hubbies as well as a girlfriend and her family amongst a bunch of others!!!!) so I'm doing a uniform gift for everyone.
My plan is to smoke some nice cheeses and gift that but I was also considering some sausage.
Now I'm on...
I am a fan of frying my bacon unless its going into something (like a cheese ball for example), then I'll bake it so there's even cooking.
For BBB I fry it but I put a pan lid on top of the bacon to press it down so it'll crisp up a bit. It helps with the "hammy" taste IMO.
My latest batch didn't have any maple in it and I'm sorely missing it. I guess I'll HAVE to eat this high end delicious bacon without that maple-ey flavor.
Syrup was a rousing success. It was nice and maple-ey but I would still add some syrup during the smoking process. If you are willing or able I suggest switching out.
And if you're comfortable with the price difference. A dollar a lb vs 8 bucks for 2 cups.
Did chicken and dumplings. Just eye balled ingredients and the soup itself turned out good (Added a 10 minute roux to thicken it up) but next time I'm going to change up how I do the dumplings. I made a modified biscuit recipe and just dropped in the dough but next time I'm going to roll it out...
I've been on the lookout for a decent quick chili recipe. The one I have is okay but there's no time for the proper heat to develop (its just blazing hot with out relenting which is wrong for a dish IMO).
Chicken chili is another recipe on my list of "gotta haves"
It's cold today. I want something that will stick to my bones. But I can't decide. No matter what I make I'm going out to the store (provisions are meager at best today) so I don't know if I should do Beef Stew, Chicken and Dumplings, Chicken Pot Pie, Shepards Pie.
It's so frustrating!
Let...

So, I made some sausage today using Pops simple pepper,salt,sage recipe and I have some questions.
First off I ground the pork on a medium plate then added the spices. Mixed it as best I could then ran it through the fine plate.
I then fried to taste test it but it seemed a bit weak on the...
I'll start this post by saying I usually don't post on qviews because while they are amazing I feel like me saying "oh hey that looks yummy" is just old hat and I guess there's a bit of laziness going into it too but I don't post on qviews.
But that looks so darn delicious and I'm so jealous...
So, First two smoke batches are out and general consensus is in!
Maple Smoke-
Everyone loved the sweetness it had when served cold (I hot smoked the bacon so it could be eaten cold) however when fried up the sweetness turned a bit (a bit too caramel-like I guess)
Apple Smoke-
Again when...
9 days ago I started on my scientific method for finding my perfect BBB recipe.
I decided to start with a whole boneless pork shoulder from Costco that weighed around 7 lbs. I butterflied it as shown in the wiki.
I used Pops brine recipe but doubled the recipe due to me not knowing if 1 would...
