Thanks so much sarge. Improvisation doesn't always have to be a failure...but this wasn't what I set out to do.All's well that ends well! Meal looked good from where I am sitting!
Very much appreciate it Cliff. Tracy was unaware of all the woes except for the power going out. when that happened her beloved fountains (another horror story for another day) stopped running.Wow Robert, way to turn lemons into lemonade and Tracy got the next beer...good on you!
Appreciate it Jed. I have the food processor and a pro blender, which I got first. Learned real fast (the hard way of course) that those cutting blades are razor sharp. I'm always super careful when cleaning them but you just can't expect to be hit by a tank while washing themWay to improvise, adapt, and overcome Robertawesome meal for a punt, looks amazing! Those Ninjas can be tricky, I’ve almost lost a toe or two when I haven’t paid attention while cleaning
Thanks Sven. Glad to know I'm not the only one who's hearing aids are possessed. They did start chiming a few minutes earlier but thought I'd have plenty of time to finish washing the Ninja. Also, it's VERY rare that both batteries die at the same time. Usually one keeps working a bit longer but n not this time.Great story and a great meal. I laughed because I’m convinced my hearing aids have a chaos sensor in them and when I need them the most is when the dead battery signal goes off
Thanks so much for the kind words David. It was an episode, that's for sure. All came out well in the end though which is the important thing.Good story Robertway to handle a curve ball
Very much appreciate it my friend. Didn't see that coming with a botched dinner but am still honored.Whoa, back up in the bright lights, well deserved and a fine piece of work Robert!
Thanks so much my friend!! Now go catch some fish and shrimp....and I'll send you my addressBeautiful plate Robert! Like!
Very much appreciate it Dave. Not to bad for a botched effort.Another killer steak dinner! Love it!
No need to apologize for laughing Jim. I wrote it in a way to make you laugh...or at least crack a smile. The humor was intended. Yes sir, all is well. Bleeding stopped, dog calmed down (amazing what a huge bone will do), and Tracy's thirst was quenched.Looks good Robert but I'm sorry I was laughing reading your story I dont know why but I was thinking that would be something you would see in a john candy movie, I'm still chuckling to myself here but I hope everything is all right.
It was actually Saturday but thank you for the kind words.Hell of a Sunday! Glad you got her done. Everything looks great.
Very much appreciate it my friend and thanks for the like.Looks Perfect from here, Robert!!
Nice Job!
OH NO!! That would be a travesty!! Dem tooths is your trademark. I have my pool and margaritas,, somebody has a beer pole, somebody else has a beer pedestal, and you got got dem toothsIf all that happened to me, my teeth would have fallen out.
Thanks so much John. Limited or otherwise, I'm just glad I have them for situations like thisWow Robert what an effort! With limited tools you nailed it for sure! Everything looks amazing!
Thanks Steve....at least I still have all my toesSorry for the boo-boo Robert! Meal looks splendid as usual!
If we ain't having fun by now, don't know if I could stand anything else..So here I am...bleeding like a stuck pig, tending to a berserk dog, deaf as a fence post, and a thirsty wife in the pool wanting a beer. Are we having fun yet?
Looks Perfect from here, Robert!!
Nice Job!
Like.
Bear
Very much appreciate the kind words Charles. Sometimes I think all the cookers outside are overkill but at times like this, it sure was nice to have a back-up. After the smoke cleared we laughed about the whole ordeal over dinner.If we ain't having fun by now, don't know if I could stand anything else..
Looks as though the backup plan worked well, Robert. Very nice, your punt turned into a touch down...
Thanks so much my friend. The person who we lost impacted many people, including folks in this forum. He was a highly respected member and a staff member. The roast was for his family Christmas dinner.First sorry for your loss of a special person to share a special meal with. That steak doesn’t have a single part that looks overdone to me. Pure steak mastery. I’d love that steak AND salad.
Thanks so much Bear for going back and reading of my debacleQuestion----What do you use to slice your own steaks from a "Bone-in Roast"??
Thanks so much for the info. I do in fact get all my beef shipped to me as whole primals and cut them myself into steaks and roasts. The short loin roasts typically come in the range of 25 pounds. I'm not a butcher, just go by what I've learned from some butchers I've come to trust. Breaking down a roast I can handle. Breaking down an entire cow is a whole different story and well beyond my knowledge. Your input is appreciated. Here is one I recently got:The problem today is, unless a person cuts the Porterhouse him or herself, it is impossible to know precisely what you are getting.
It's the only thing I have that will cut though the bones. I don't do enough of these to justify buying a meat saw so just make do with what I have...which is about 6 different SawzallsThey look great but, a Sawzall?
I admire your improvisation!It's the only thing I have that will cut though the bones. I don't do enough of these to justify buying a meat saw so just make do with what I have...which is about 6 different Sawzalls
Robert
Works awesome on both deer and pigs too! It's what I use....a sawzall with a 12" blade will cut right down the back bone no sweat and give you two sides on the rail.They look great but, a Sawzall?I never even thought of that but sounds like it could work!
I'm curious if the short-loin roast is, in fact, an entire short-loin?
