    Just Whining

    The shingles vax sure made me feel miserable. Beats shingles from what I hear though.

    LEM Mighty Bite 5 Tray Dehydrator

    The LEM Mighty Bite 5 Tray Dehydrator is currently on sale for $69.99 on Academy's website. My guess is they no longer care to stock it. This is normally $149.00+. Just ordered one because our old one just died. Fantastic timing!

    Favorite soy sauce

    Looking forward to giving it a try! It sounds similar to Jammy Chai 1608, which I could easily sip out of a whiskey glass. Thanks for the input!

    Christmas score?

    A Spider Venom Weber temp controller for my 22" kettle. Standing rib roast on it now, soon to be reverse seared. So far the temp regulation is incredible.

    Morty Pride Salted Fresh Ham

    It's been cubed at this point, not much to look at. Mighty salty, not what I hoped, but I didn't look into it at all, just plowed ahead. It'll make good seasoning pork at least!

    Morty Pride Salted Fresh Ham

    I think that's it precisely. End result is mighty salty. I've cubed it up and intend to use it like a ham hock for seasoning. I wish I researched it a bit prior to brashly tossing it on the smoker, but whatever... live and learn!

    Fermented brussel sprouts.

    Thanks for the inspiration! Just started a batch as a result. I added caraway seeds, but otherwise followed your recipe to a "T".

    Morty Pride Salted Fresh Ham

    Hey, Just saw a "Morty Pride Salted Fresh Ham" at our local podunk grocery store. Very odd to see and very out of character for the store. It's what appears to be a heavily salt cured, uncooked, un-smoked ham, ready to be smoked or otherwise utilized in some fashion. I rinsed it, scored the...

    Fermented brussel sprouts.

    Those look fantastic. Thanks for the inspiration. My wife just bought some brussells this afternoon. Time to take down the Korean fermenting vessel!

    Joro Spider

    I've never seen such web, it's as if they have a standard orb web, within a hard-core "trash web" with incredible tensile strength. Really cool.

    Joro Spider

    That's what I've heard as well, gentle, beautiful, giants. Free, round the clock pest control. Spiders get a largely unnecessary bad rap.

    Joro Spider

    That's what I've heard as well. Stink bugs are apparently a favorite food, and I'm fine with that. Mighty impressive web.

    Joro Spider

    Spotted a Joro spider in Winnsboro SC. These guys are native to Japan but have now made it to the US. Reported it to a site that's tracking their movements, first reported sighting in Fairfield county. Beautiful creature, like them or not, they're coming and they'll be here to stay.

    So let's talk knife sharpening...

    I'm referring to the belted version.

    So let's talk knife sharpening...

    I mainly use the Spyderco Sharpmaker. It's basically a guided rod set up. I prefer it over the Ken Onion Work Sharp, ended up selling that. I also have the Spyderco Galley-V attached to the kitchen island.

    Essential kitchen tools?

    Long cooking tweezers would be something I'd add to the list. Indispensable!

    Favorite soy sauce

    I've received and tried Kimlan, undeniably good. Much better then what's found on most American grocery store shelves. I will say however; in my obviously subjective opinion, Healthy Boy Mushroom soy for the win. It strikes me as more subtle and well rounded. Appearance wise, Healthy Boy is a...

    Favorite soy sauce

    Pearl River dark is my go to for a dark soy. Mind you, dark soy is NOTHING like "light" soy but essential in many recipes in conjunction with what most consider "normal" soy.

    Favorite soy sauce

    That's how I'd describe Healthy Boy. Give it a try, it might give your favorite a run for its money. I'll report back after trying your recommendation!
