It was right at 70 degrees today . Sunny with a lite breeze . So I cleaned up the 28 " Blackstone and thawed some 80/20 beef .
Haven't been grinding my own for a year or so . Beef cuts got crazy expensive , so I've been buying the 80/20
" Tube-O-Beef " form GFS . It's actually really good ...
Been looking at these for awhile . Wasn't sure if I really wanted one . Some looked pretty cheap , but this one looked well built , so I grabbed the " 3 hole "

at high temps .
I used the " Classic Baguette " recipe...
Well I was talking to my buddy Ray @sawhorseray this morning , and he mention a breakfast burrito .
So I was telling him about one I saw on the net that I did awhile back . Trying to remember exactly how it went , I figured I'd just go in for a second round .
This is a bit different , as the...
I had thought about adding a shelf to this when I built it . After Christmas and new cooking equipment added to the kitchen I decided to do it .

Kids thought lasagna sounded good , and I agreed .

Out of the fridge , pulled , stretched , and shaped . Warming on the counter .

'Tis the season for Goodwill , so if your a fan of Goodwill it will be prime season with the new holiday gifts , and people getting rid of old stuff .

That's what happened this time around . This thing is...
Started off with some homemade Hot Italian . I had 2 butts . Cut pork steaks from one , and mixed in what was left to the 2nd one . That gave me a bit more fat content than I normally use , it was a positive . Probably around 33% fat to lean . I base my batches off 2 1/2 pounds of grind . For...
Bought a couple of these one sale a week or so ago . I always plan for 2 meals when I buy these .
Deboning is my go to on these . Makes a great end result .

Pull the skin back down...
Been looking at these for awhile now . I have a Samsung fridge with the total failure ice maker design .
@mike243 helped me with updating / repair and what I needed to do which helped . New mainboard , drain heaters , sealer for the ice room , and some other stuff . Got a good 2 years out of it...
Ambrosia is a defect in wood , caused by the Ambrosia boring beetle . Discolors the wood , and makes some really nice features . I figured it would make some nice serving or display boards .
These came out really sharp . Pictures don't do them justice , but thought I'd share .
Made one larger...
I have several cooks I've done , but never posted . If things are busy , I'll save them for another time so it doesn't clutter things up .

Whole chicken in Pop's brine overnight .
Black pepper only on the skin .

Been hand cutting steaks when I make sausage . Usually get 3 decent boneless steaks from a butt .
Had these thawed out for today , but yesterday my Son informed me that he wanted to make a pasta dish .
So I decided to get them going for Saturday's supper .
Got out the " hole poker " and worked...
Found some leg 1/4's for a good price . Perdue brand . I don't buy the cheap leg 1/4's in the bag . Those look like they were processed with a chainsaw . These come on a tray of 4 . I bought 2 trays for $3.95 each .
A tray of 8 legs , or thighs were $14.00 each . So I always buy 2 trays of 1/4's...

1/3 cup parsley
1/3 cup pecorino
1/3 cup bread crumbs

Finally had some hatch chili's at the store today . I hesitated to grab them . Seems it's always late when we get them , and the go bad fast . Sometimes by the time I get home . Ended up tossing 2 . Being in that bag doesn't help things .
Broke down a beef knuckle a couple weeks ago . Thawed...
Been too hot outside to do much cooking . So I've been hanging out in the shop . This is an old Norm Abrams / New Yankee Workshop project .
I did one 30 plus years ago , and have been wanting to revisit it .
I had some hard Maple in the basement , so that's what I used .
First thing is bending...
Had some nice center cut pork steaks from the store . Been cutting my own , but they had some really nice steaks on sale . Did this a couple weeks ago . Been using the gas grill a lot , because it does a great job and makes it easy to do multiple things .
Seasoned up and warming a bit on the...
This was from Father's day a few weeks ago .
Been using the SmokeFire and the Genesis 310 for just about everything , with some grilling on my Performer .
The 26 " kettle hasn't been fired up in a couple years . Figured it was time , but still had to force myself . I decided I was gonna sit...
