While reading the news over the morning cup of coffee, I saw an article about Fry sauce. Evidently it got it's start in Utah. Part ketchup, part mayo, and other stuff. Anybody tried it? Kinda reminds me of John Travolta talking about eating in Amsterdam from Pulp Fiction and the Royale with...
So I pulled a Captain Lazy and broke out the indoor smokeless grill. It's been raining buckets here in Middle TN, and tending to one of my Webers in the rain didn't apeal to me. I coated a NY Strip with Montreal, vacuum sealed it, and in the fridge for an overnighter. I have to admit, in a...
Mom asked me to provide the pork element for tomorrow's good luck feast, so I thawed out a 9 pound pork butt, and got it ready yesterday. Typical mustard binder, and some Memphis rub. Onto the trusty RecTeq Mini this morning a 2:30. Started at 180° for a few hours, and then ramped it up to...
With the help of @Steve H, I ordered some fermenting airlocks for mason jars, and an attachment so I could vac seal mason jars. Shown here are 2- 1 Quart jars of fermenting dill pickles, and pickled carrots. In the middle is a quart jar of dilly beans that have been vacuum sealed and put in...
Decided to stripe up some ground beef jerky for a co-worker friend of mine. Lem's jerky mix, and onto a Frog mat in my Rec Tec Mini Starting at 150°, and I'll ramp it up later this evening.
So my Dad calls me Friday wanting some pulled pork which I haven't done since last year. He says he'll go to the grocery store and pick up whatever I need to make it. I tell him to grab a pork shoulder. Of course he calls me while I'm driving a 70,000# tri-axle Kenworth dumper down a narrow...
After getting used to Spring weather in the 60's and 70's, the weatherman decided to throw us a curveball here in Middle TN. I was going to fire up one of the Webers, but the temp was in the low 30's this evening. Nope, not going outside. I know you northerners are gonna flame me, and that's...
Time to see if I can do some enabling. This little deep fryer just hit my doorstep today. Even came with a Fahrenheit Thermo so I don't have to break out the F/C convertor. Deep fried pickles, and onion rings here we go.
My folks had a bunch of people over for the Superbowl yesterday. Mom picked up some pulled pork from a local joint, and it was 17 freaking dollars a LB! I feel guilty when I pay over $2.50 a lb. for a pork shoulder. Yea I know, they did the prep work, but this was the take out price. I asked...
I have to give credit to Jim @JLeonard for this one. When he posted his SV pork loin the other day, my Inkbird SV machine was somewhere in Fedex land. I got it Friday and tried a pork loin just like Jim had done, and it was awesome. Tonight it was time to try a bone in pork chop. Brushed...
I'm about to go all on sausage making, and I have a question. I've been using my jerky gun, and I just purchased a LEM 5lb stuffer and I want to get some opinions before I crank this thing up. I stuffed some LEM hog casings last week. They were rinsed several times, and soaked in water...
Evidently @Steve H and I were thinking jerky this weekend. He posted his awesome jerky right about the time I was putting mine in the smoker. I had a 1# chub of 93/7 needing to get used, and just enough LEM jerky seasoning for it. Mixed up the seasoning with some cure#1, and water and mixed...
On Xmas day 1980 (I was 9), Santa gave me the rifle at the top of this pic. Daisy model 881 Powerline .177 pellet, BB rifle. Well, Santa struck again. He gave me a rebuild kit for the same rifle. All tuned up now and shoots like a champ. I also decided to get the Remmy Speedmaster 22 LR...
So my parents gave me a pasta maker which came with a "not so subtle" hint. "Hey Dave, here is a pasta maker, now go make us some pasta". Along with the "make us some pulled pork", "make us some bacon", etc., now it's pasta. Anybody want to share their go-to pasta recipe? I've already done...
After 9 faithful years, my Rectec Mini coughed up it's ignitor rod a while back, and I waited to finally replace it. Rod came in today, and 15 minutes later, the old boy is back in business. 9 years and$35 in maintenance costs. Not too shabby. Tonight, Eye Round injected with "Old Fat Guy"...
