    This is crazy . Doing sourdough is addicting . From feeding the starter , to seeking a perfect bake . Got my starter back in Oct. Got going on this sometime in Nov. I've gone through some flour and baked dozens of loaves . Some good , some not . Got to a regrouping point . I was rushing through...

    Beef knuckle / sirloin tip breakdown

    @cptnding asked about beef knuckle in another thread . One of the ones I did , I took some pics of breaking it down . Figured I'd do a quick thread on it . First off , I'm not a meat cutter and have just learned this from doing it . So this is just my take on it . Looks like this in the bag ...

    I guess he's a mind reader too .

    On top of everything else Rick @BGKYSmoker knows or does , now he's a mind reader . No shit , true story . I'm standing in the kitchen , hungry , watching the early football game , needing a snack . I love me some pistachios , but they're down in my shop . I don't eat them upstairs because of...
