    That dude was focused . It's so easy to cave in that situation , especially after the onslaught he faced in the 3rd period . He was on it . Used to go watch the Blues years ago with the wife . They'd play both Anthems as they do ,, the wife always said " I like thier song better than ours "...

    Flat top smash burgers , way over due !

    I saved a 5.5 oz. ball for my lunch Friday . To nasty to go outside , so I did it in a cast iron skillet on the stove . About 5/8's thick , and did the " flippy - flip " until 145 internal . Rested 5 minutes , pickles and onions with American cheese . Just a blushy shade of pink all the way...

    Flat top smash burgers , way over due !

    Thanks . Yeah , but you shouldn't be . Here's a link to the USDA website . Dave Omak was the one that opened my eyes to the tubed beef package at inspected processing plants . Talked about how the meat to be ground is tested before and after grinding , then sealed in the tube . No water added...

    Flat top smash burgers , way over due !

    Thanks bud . I was doin good to just get through the one . Same here . I do buy a frozen patty from GFS that I throw on the gas grill for a quickie . Never had the best results grilling thicker burgers , because I don't like medium rare ground beef . I can eat a steak mooing ,, but ground...

    Ribs look good to me . Find out where the smoker likes to run , and use that temp .

    Flat top smash burgers , way over due !

    Thanks . That's only about a 3rd of it . Yup . Those are from Blackstone . I bought the paper from amazon . Handy , adds something to the meal I think , and cheaper than paper plates .

    Flat top smash burgers , way over due !

    I bought 1 Tri-tip on sale , for $8.99 a pound . Normal price , if you even see it is $18.00 a pound . Yeah , the knuckle sits on top of the section that has the tri-tip . If you see sirloin tip , sirloin cap , or sirloin center cut at the store , that's all from the knuckle . It's an awesome...

    "Moroccan" Lamb-Ball Stew

    Also , forgot to say that Campbells Beef consomme is legit good . Like you said , great for a beef dip sandwich . Bread looks fine , but don't be afraid to add 5 grams of yeast along with the ripe starter . Plenty of sourdough gets baked with yeast added .

    "Moroccan" Lamb-Ball Stew

    That's an awesome bowl . I don't do whole muscle lamb , but the sausage or meat balls are great . Those would be good on their own . Nice work . If I want quick diced , I'll use frozen , but I buy the whole or sliced canned and heat them up in rendered bacon , onion and garlic . Add some...

    Flat top smash burgers , way over due !

    Thanks . I don't either . I buy the chubs that are processed at the meat packing plant . Big difference for me in quality and flavor . I get them in a 10 pound size . I watch meat prices pretty close . I get all mine at Gordon's food service . I go weekly and check prices real time . Brisket...

    Dough Mixer

    OK , thanks . I saw that one , Makes more sense , because there's stretching and folding going on there . That builds the structure of the higher hydration doughs . 1 3/4 water listed as 420 grams . Mine weighs out under 400 . Did you bake in a Dutch oven ? Either way , Lower the hydration...

    Dough Mixer

    At higher hydration it won't . If you drop the water as suggested , it should . Don't over mix . I do . I tried to find the recipe you listed , and didn't see any with that hydration level . I'm just curious to see what it says .

    Dough Mixer

    100% agree with Ricks comment . It's a high hydration for sure . That's why I mentioned going into the pan for the second rise . I work with a lot of high hydration doughs . It's a challange for someone just starting out . Since you're using a generic AP flour , that might work in your favor ...
