While the bread was rising I made some old style icing from scratch

After I beat up the bread I started warming the smoker up & got some hickory pellets ready in the AMNPS.

Ok that's better... I gave it a light dusting of fresh ground salt & pepper along with a bit of garlic

& in the smoker it went to take on some hickory. Pay no attention to the meat probe there - it was in the bottom round & I didn't take it out to clean off yet...

I decided I needed mushrooms as well to go with my steak

& some of those should be split off so that

PICT0455.JPG

• smoking b
• May 22, 2014

I could add some heat to them

I will be slicing this thin tomorrow to take with me but I had to try some & ended up eating several slices & it is just as good as I remembered it from a few weeks ago lol. As to the plate - I recycled my steak/sausage/corn plate rather than getting a new one. I've eaten after myself in the past & never had any problems...
