    Sausage Christmas Ideas

    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...

    Bacon Cooking Method

    Hrmmmm Should have done a poll. I must say most everyone likes their piggies fried though.

    Bacon Cooking Method

    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.

    Syrup vs Sugar vs Extract

    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 vs Sugar vs Extract

    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.

    Ohhhhh dinner time. What to do with you

    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...

    Ohhhhh dinner time. What to do with you

    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"

    Ohhhhh dinner time. What to do with you

    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...

    If you have Windows, you should go and download Microsoft Security Essentials. It's a free "get rid of all my bad mojo" program that will usually fix most issues.

    I need help possibly

    I didn't stuff it, its "bulk".  Stuffing is another project later. Actually for breakfast sausage I'm a fan of patties vs links.  Call me crazy

    I need help possibly

    The flavor was good, it was an intensity issue.  I'll try again tomorrow morning to see where I sit.

    The spices weren't mixed very long, I think thats my issue.  Thanks!

    It fed fine, its just that the spices are lackluster.

    I need help possibly

    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...

    Smoking a rack of pork!! QView added

    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...

    Buckboard Methodoligy Report

    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...

    Buckboard Methodoligy Report

    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...
