    It was a very hectic day here. Smoked a couple of small pork butts for my wife's students. Since there's a vegan and a couple of vegetarians in the group, I also grilled some eggplant slices for sliders. Who knew that you could make vegan raita using vegan yogurt and vegan sour cream? That stuff actually turned out to be edible.

    Butts:

    Sorry, things were moving too fast to get any pics of the eggplant. It was dusted with Hank's KC Royale before grilling. Butts got a dry brine of Bad Byron's Butt Rub overnight.

      Looks great. No problem with lack of eggplant pictures.

      Jim White Those don’t look like you cut a big one in half. Where do you buy them, and how long do you smoke them?

      Sid P I just got them out of the meat case at Publix. They cooked at 275 a little over 5 hours and then another hour and a half to two hours at 300.

    Sheet pan simplicity. Italian sausage, brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, and onion.

      Looks like something I want to replicate. Thanks!

    Not the prettiest presentation, but was wife’s birthday and she wanted steak and baked potatoes at home. Before anyone asks if it’s ketchup or catsup, it’s cheese and salsa.

      Love it and yes - I would have thought ketchup

    Watching the Canada🇨🇦/Mexico🇲🇽 World Cup ⚽️ qualifier (after watching a disappointing USA🇺🇸/Jamaica🇯🇲 game).
    So, for dinner tonight, quick but delicious quesadillas with Mexican cheese mix, black beans, spinach, avocado, cilantro, lime, and home made salsa.
    I roasted our final harvest (from Hood River) of tomatoes, tomatillas, garlic, plus store bought Anaheim, poblano, and serranos, onions. All on the KBQ while I was starting the Troutman lamb shank cook. Rehydrated a dried ancho and pasilla, fresh cilantro, salt & pepper. Simple and delicious. Oh, Canada! Viva México!

      very creative use of the KBQ

    Continuation of prep week described here:


    Tonight's tasks: slice the bacon and trim and season the briskets.

    I recently bought some "tomato slicer" blades that are spaced 3/16" and 1/4". I am hoping to use them to make some kind of bacon and brisket slicer tool thing. They they will need some tension to keep them straight. For this time, I was able to run the blades over the corners to make slicing guide lines that were pretty evenly spaced.

    Dexter russel scalloped slicer is perfect for this task, btw.

    Also did a test run of the sweet potato recipe as written. I had done a "shortcut" before involving pre-heating the potatoes using a microwave before slow roasting. I am not nuking 21 potatoes on Saturday, so they are getting slow roasted from the beginning. cboss made the maple mustard pork tenderloin and roasted veg.

      Not going to waste anyone's time with Wednesday's prep: I'm sure you all have seen scrubbed sweet potatoes.

      However, I did nearly have a lasagna cell incident with the one brisket in the steel hotel pan. Thankfully, I didn't use mustard as a binder so there was no real acid on the surface, only salt and pepper, so it just caused a couple of tiny pinholes. I thought it might have been pepper when I first looked at it, but there was nothing above the covered pan. Cut the but of fat with contact

      Cut the bit of fat with contact off and re-covered in plastic (I had only used the foil because it's wider and can go on in one piece.)

      Meathead warned us all about this and here's a friendly reminder:
      My foil-wrapped lasagna has holes in the foil: what's going on here? Some chemicals in foods react badly with certain metals and can even create toxins. Here's what you need to know about reactive and corrosive metals, how your lasagna can create a sort of electric battery cell, and how to avoid this problem.

      Those are perfect slices!

    Don't see beef back ribs very often anymore. Grabbed a pack, rubbed with Meathead's Red Meat rub, and reverse seared them over a live red oak fire on the Buckaroo. Photos show the ribs getting their sear on. Served with broccoli and leftover risotto.

      Easy for you to say,

    First swing on developing this dish, not bad, I have so many tweaks & audibles that could & should happen. Pretty excited about going own the rabbit hole with this.

      Richard Chrz - yes I believe so, or it would share a Paprika file through either email or text. I can’t remember which, but I have shared recipes via the app with my buddy, it’s just been a bit. We will figure it out. And looking forward to giving this a try. Don’t worry, it doesn’t need to perfected. What you have would be just fine!

      Looks fantastic, Richard. I feel envious. I screwed up beer-batter catfish last night. I couldn’t keep oil at a consistent temp on the stovetop. I’m going back to the Santa Maria where each little crank give you 5 degrees difference.

    Washed the eggs, then 225 for a little less than 2 hours. Into the fridge overnight. Shelled today, and the whites went on for a 2 hour cold smoke. The ones with slices of sweet pickle are sprinkled with meat church holy voodoo rub. The others are boring paprika.

    I wanted to smoke the yolks too, but got shutdown on that since I don't eat the things anyway. Also in the lower pic, you can see the difference between cold smoked only and the double smoke The row of 4 on the left was boiled, then the whites cold smoked for about an hour so they aren't straight white but do have less smoke for some guests.

    This filling is made with this recipe my wife made me follow https://sugarspunrun.com/million-dollar-deviled-eggs/

    My Secret Santa provided me with three Meathead rubs that came today. I smoked turkey breast tonight for a Thanksgiving work lunch tomorrow. I haven't carved it yet, but both Roy the dog and I think the poultry seasoning is absolutely delicious!

        That is a fine looking meal.

      I smoked a chuck roast and a rack of baby backs yesterday. Both turned out great.
