    New toy arrived.

    Ran a test run on it for dinner. Didn't get any action shots as things moved a lot quicker than expected...incredible the difference in cook times with a proper burner. Anyways, did a copycat version of Panda Express' Beijing Beef, using a recipe from STCG. Here's the completed shot, was pretty...

    New toy arrived.

    And I can't wait to use it. Thanks to some Amazon cash I was gifted, I decided I needed a wok burner, so here it is. 45k btu jet burner in all it's still somewhat packaged glory. Only question is what do I make to break it in?

    Boston Butts @ Aldi's

    Wow, I didn’t know how good we had it here with our $1.79/lb pork butts at Gordon Food Service. $2.89/lb just seems so foreign to me. 😮

    It's all fun and games until your kid decides she's coming for your crown.

    No, she left that for me. She was going to but decided last second that she didn't feel confident enough to do it. But aside from paying for and carving the bird, she did it on her own, just asking a few questions along the way. ...she did have her first experience with injection blowout though 😆

    So it turned out awesome, chicken was full of flavor and juices, drippings made an amazingly delicious gravy. Couple completed pics... The finished bird. With the pitmaster. Plated.

    It's all fun and games until your kid decides she's coming for your crown.

    Junior Pimaster is back at it. She wanted to do a whole chicken (which JUST fit on the mini smoker), so let her run with it. Helped me make an injection with beer, butter, soy, W sauce, Chalula, and other spices. Used some spray duck fat for the binder, and rubbed with our Fortune Favors the...

    Your Favorite Way to Use Leftover Smoked Pork Ribs

    Leftover ribs are just fine as just ribs, it's all in how you reheat them. We vacuum seal whatever's left, freeze them, and reheat via sous vide at about 140°. They always come out great and are like they're fresh off the smoker.

    2025 NFL Season Thread

    GB needs to release McManus immediately. He's blown quite a few short FG's as well as PAT's this year that have now cost them 2 regular season games and now round 1 in the playoffs. Worst kicker I've seen in years.

    2025 NFL Season Thread

    It's funny, because after a full week of hearing them run their yappers and shit-talk, its gotten surprisingly quiet all of a sudden 😆

    My Signature Sandwich.

    Only in the experimental phase, but this may be... The. Signature. Sammich. Pork schnitzel, granny smith apple-slaw, door county cherry/brandy glaze, cold-pack beer cheese. Assembled on a toasted hoagie roll. And in true Wisconsin fashion, garnished with a cocktail cherry and orange slice...

    It's cold, it's snowing, and it's windy. Let's make pizza.

    Well, kinda. Tonight we make monkey-bread pizza... Cut up a large pizza dough-ball into 1 inch cubes, mixed in a stick of butter melted with some garlic as well as shredded mozzarella and pepperoni into an enamel coated skillet with a ramekin in the middle we'llfill with dipping sauce later...

    Apparently the wife still kinda likes me.

    Knives cut great. Only thing I can see being an issue is sharpening as I used a WorkSharp Precision Adjust for my sharpening duties, the two larger knives are just too big for that setup, so I’ll likely wind up getting a whetstone or one of those rilling sharpeners...likely a rolling sharpener...

    She really wants a YouTube channel, but I'm the mean ol' dad that says she's too young 🤣

    As mentioned, she was in charge of the shotgun shells for yesterday's festivities. Not too bad for a rookie. 😆

    It's all fun and games until your kid decides she's coming for your crown.

    The second one with our honey rub took a bit longer, just pulled it off. The color, cook, and flavor are perfect. I'm truly amazed, she asked me a few questions, then went and did this without help. It was so good I caught my youngest on the counter like a raccoon digging through garbage...

    It's all fun and games until your kid decides she's coming for your crown.

    Alright its all done. And was daaaaaamnnnn good. I got a few pics while she was slicing, then she wanted to get a "proper picture like dad" of the plated meal by herself. My action shots: And her completed, plated picture she took using some of my past pics for guidance. I'm one proud...

    Maiden voyage underway. She's doing 2 pork tenderloins, one with our spicy honey rub, one with our steak rub blend. Using lumberjack apple pellets. Kinda liking this...I ain't gotta do nothing but play photographer.
