    More from my local diner

    Did my workout this morning.

    We're Not the Only Ones

    Saw this at a local breakfast joint. I think somebody local supplies their bacon and pit ham. It tastes much more like something we would make, rather than from a restaurant supply store.

    Sourdough Mishap

    I bought a dried commercial starter a while back and decided to revive it about 5 weeks ago. After religiously feeding and tending it for all that time, it just sat there in the mason jar, like a pancake batter. I'd get a bubble or two if I was lucky. But I stubbornly stuck with it. Yesterday...

    Kilo Charlie's Teba Shio for the Game

    Shout out to Kilo Charlie for the recipe. I've made these a few times in different ways, and I'm convinced air-fryer is the way to go. This was an 8-pack of wings from Costco; tossed the package, so not sure how much that is by weight. Taking them now to share with friends at my local pub.

    More Oven Butt

    Here's my $9.60 Kroger deal. Since I don't have access to a smoker right now, I found a "smokey" rub to try out on it. Injected w/ apple cider, apple cider vinegar, bbq sauce, and more rub. Started last night at 235°, then after 12 hours I bumped it up to 250°. Went a total of 17 hours. It's not...

    Can We Have a SMF Hall of Fame?

    I think this is a great idea! Can we get a moderator involved to create it? My heroes would be, in no particular order: DaveOmak Scarbelly Bear Carver Chef Jimmy JJ I'm sure I'm forgetting somebody...

    LEM Maxvac Pro Chamber Sealer on Sale at Costco

    Saw this at my local Costco today. Seems like a good price; I believe the $.97 means it's a clearance price. I don't need or have room for one, but someone might.

    Kinder's Turkey Brine

    I did a test turkey last Sunday using a Kinder's brine kit. It comes with a salt/spice packet, big plastic bag, and some butter flavored rub. No smoker right now, so I did it the old-fashioned way in the oven. The brine did its job, the turkey was moist, but I didn't catch a lot of other...

    Life Gets in the Way, Times Whatever

    Well brothers & sisters, you probably haven't noticed, but I haven't been posting any cooks for the past few months. I'm still salivating over your posts, though. The wife decided to end a 45 year marriage a short while back, and split the assets. Like Jimmy Buffet said, hell, it's probably my...

    What's Up with the Price of Mayo?

    I know there was an egg shortage a while back, but mayo is getting ridiculous. This was recently at a discount grocery store called "Grocery Outlet". And this was just a little 20 oz. squeeze bottle.

    Daveomak?

    Hi, just wondering if anyone has heard anything about Daveomak lately? He hasn't posted anything since Feb '24. For some reason, I am unable to im him here. He lives in a particularly hot part of the state, and I was just concerned.

    Anyone Personally know Deejay Debi?

    She lives in Connecticut and owns/moderates another BBQ website. Like Jeff's site, she was instrumental in mentoring my smoking development, and I met her once several years ago. Such a nice person. She lost a close family member in October of last year, and since then her website seems to have...

    Oven Brisket...Don't Judge Me

    Okay, due to circumstances beyond my control, I no longer have a smoker available. Not going to get into "why" just now, I'll have to explain later. But I just couldn't pass up that Kroger brisket coupon, and got a 12 pounder a few days ago. So, about 10 lbs after trimming, I rubbed with "Eat...

    Homage to my Best Friend

    Met my best friend, John Lee, when we were in 2nd grade, about 55 years ago. He passed away (too young at 62) on April 7th, of Parkinson's Disease. I was able to say my good-byes the day before. He would have fit in here very well. He loved bourbon, cigars, and BBQ. And most of all, people. We...

    When NOT to Smoke Bacon

    Spent some time with the daughter's family this Christmas. Asked the bonehead son-in-law how his folks were doing; they recently retired to Sequim, WA. He said that there had been some black bear sightings in their neighborhood recently. Also mentioned his dad would be smoking bacon that day...

    5 Minute Baguettes

    5 Minute Baguettes I tried this recipe yesterday. It came out as advertised, but predictably it was not as good as the version that takes all freakin' day. But not bad for what it is. The bread is a little chewier, and the crust had to be rewarmed to regain crispness, but other than that (and...

    Boy Scout Ingenuity

    Ok, I wasn't a Boy Scout. I was a Cub Scout in the late 60's, but I bristled at authority at an early age and didn't re-up. (Our scoutmaster was a real jackass martinet.) But the "cinnamon rolls in oranges" thread reminded me of a doohickey we made back then. The Scoutmaster called it a...

    What are you paying for gasoline?

    So we recently were the recipients of some unwelcome news. Washington state now has the highest gas prices in the nation, surpassing even California and Hawaii. If the high state taxes on fuel weren't bad enough, the Guv pushed through an extra carbon-pricing program to "punish" the oil industry...

    My Try at Jeff's Wooster Brisket

    Been meaning to give this a try, and Dad's day seemed to be the ticket. Went to Costco yesterday (madhouse), and they were out of the Prime, but I found a 12.5 lb. choice with relatively little extra fat. Also picked up a couple 20oz bottles of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire. Hope that's what Jeff...

    Beef Back Ribs

    My wife asked me if I was going to tailor something on the BBQ for President's Day? Hadn't thought about it, but I did have some beef ribs in the freezer, so maybe a LBJ tribute? Hit these the night before with some SPOG and Meat Church Holy Voodoo. Then into the GMG at 250°. This was no small...
