    Octopus Bacon

    I just ran across the idea of smoking octopus last night and found the recipe. Octopus is one of those things that it is best I make it when my wfe is at work. Her olifactory capabilities are equal to the German shepard we had when we first got married and she doesn't like the smell of seafood...

    Octopus Bacon

    I really like smoked oyster and clams. I first had octopus in DC where they fry baby octopus with calamari as an appetizer. Our local King Soopers used to sell the baby octopus as Teriaki Octopus, which was really tasty. We have a local Korean market that sells octopus and I've tried some of...

    Something disturbing in my grocery store....

    I saw the TV show. The major cooking magazines have had articles on sea/smoked salts also. I guess its politically correct to get the expensive sea salts, but the cost outweighs the benefits as far as I'm concerned. The one smoked spice we haven't talked about yet in this thread is smoked...

    Something disturbing in my grocery store....

    JoeD617, The smoked pepper is just coarsly ground black pepper that has been smoked. It was written up fairly well in an LA Times food article. The only place I've found that sells it is Chefscatalog.com. It's not bad, but its easy to overuse it. They also had a smoked salt that I ordered...

    looking for a SWEEEET ketchup based sauce

    No way! But she's had me on a higher priority project replacing the carpet in our upstairs hallway with a wood floor. I've managed to stretch it out for almost the whole year period. Besides, the year timeline to repaint the ceiling in the kitchen restarts.

    Need advice on how to keep BBQ for a week?

    How about vacuum sealing it? I've gotten slices of ham, smoked pork loin, etc. that way shipped by smoke houses or meat markets. It was shipped without freezing.

    Sausage

    You could also use ground jalapeno, which I assume is dried and the ground. It would incorporate like any other spice. I got mine at Savory Spices in Denver. It is really potent. When I bought it, the girl putting it in the jar said it was her least favorite spice to handle. Dumb me! I...

    looking for a SWEEEET ketchup based sauce

    Sometimes you just have to turn a negative into a positive. Last year my wife redecorated our kitchen for the third or fourth time; faux painting the walls in Tuscan hues, putting new tile on the floor, getting new countertops, and changing the appliances from black to stainless...

    looking for a SWEEEET ketchup based sauce

    There is a nice little book called "The Ultimate Barbecue Sauce Cookbook" by Jim Auchmutely and Susan Puckett, published in 95. I like it better than Steve Raichlin's book, which is also good. It has a recipe that is both sweet and includes bacon. It is based on a Paul Prudhomme recipe...

    linguisa

    There are a couple of recipes on the net. One is from the Recipe Goldmine site and the other from Emeril's site. Emeril and Recipe Cottage also have recipes for linguica sausage (looks like its pronounced the same as linquisa.) Recipe Goldmine Portuguese Linguisa 5 tablespoons salt 2...

    Good Deal on digital probe thermometer

    That's not a bad price. I got a similar Taylor oven thermometer off of Amazon for $12.75 a couple of years ago and really like it. Amazon's current prices are slightly higher for similar thermometers, but they have a wireless version for $14.99. This may be more suitable for barbecuing...

    Vacuum Sealers

    If you do a comparison review of food savers on the internet, the Black and Decker gets good ratings, but their bags are rated pretty low. The reviews recommend using the Tilia bags with it. I got a Black and Decker unit for my son-in-law for last Christmas and told him about the bags. He...

    can't find garlic & onion juice

    It is possible to make your own garlic and onion juice. Easiest and most efficient way would be to use a juicer. Steve Raichlen has a recipe for onion water lamb chops in The Barbecue Bible where he cuts up 1 1/2 lbs of onions and purees them in a food processor. He then strains the results...

    Something disturbing in my grocery store....

    I've used a little liquid smoke with canned salmon and cream cheese to make a quick smoked salmon dip. It's not bad in smoked jalapenos. Googling liquid smoke recipes will give you an idea of what a lot of others are doing with it. Is anyone using smoked pepper or any of the smoked sea salts...
