    Gallo Pinto (beans and rice)

    Occasionally we make Gallo Pinto, which is a rice and bean dish from Costa Rica. This is considered a national dish there and even often eaten with fried eggs for breakfast. However, we like it as a different side dish as the flavor is different and a little bit sweet due to the Lizano Salsa...

    D-day June 6 1944 never forget

    We all know what happened June the 6th 1944 at Normandy but here is a good read of a good soldier on that very day. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. He was a brigadier general who landed on the beach with the first wave of troops. He was only one of two generals who landed. His story is inspiring. God...

    Why Ham Steaks?

    Because I had two full leg hams that I cured, and they wanted steaks. Easy. Doing these in the Mammoth vertical. Mostly because it’s windy. Pellet tube filled with a mix of pecan pellets and cherry wood chips. Works good. There is about 34 pounds of steaks there. Bacon slabs tomorrow.

    Son’s Birthday Supper

    This is a funny story, but also a story of sheer will. So my oldest turned 22 a couple days ago. Even at his tender age he is one of the managers at our local Wally World. He is doing well but I personally wish he would move on in his career. At any rate he requested a dinner from me on his day...

    Primal/savage

    The wife and kids left with FIL to the big city for a stadium game tonight. Leaving me unsupervised. Feeling a bit primal and maybe even a bit savage. Just having a good time of it smoking meat and enjoying the quiet. May not be politically correct but it’s honest.

    Bacon/Ham

    Wind was bad today so had to do this belly, buckboard and Black Forest hams in the Mammoth. Many ways to get them done. This is actually working pretty well, a little warm (170-ish) but color is looking good. This is about 4 hours in. IT is high teens to 120 right now. It will work.

    Smoke Penetration

    Lots of folks worried about losing smoke flavor from a poach or SV finish on sausage. Couple days ago I smoked a batch of kielbasa and also had some fresh breakfast sausage linked in lamb casing, so I hung the fresh links in the smoker for 1 hour then poach finished . You can see the smoke ring...
