    Tried my hand at my first "pigsket" today, and it turned out so well! Had the flavor and consistency of perfectly done pork ribs, where you have to tug them off the bone and end up with juice running down your wrists. Key takeaway from this first experiment is to start checking for tenderness earlier than you might think (in the 170s F) and pull it out when it hits the right tenderness, at whatever T above that. Detailed thread on this cook here.

    I was in the mood for chicken wings tonight and just had to try some of the new BBQ Sauce I got from my Secret Santa, Jfrosty27 The first sauce I wanted to try was the "Sweetest Jerk". I’ve never made Jamaican jerk wings before and was ready to try it out. I cooked 6 wings on my SNS Kettle with the vortex. I did 3 wings with my favorite chicken rub, Big Mo’s, and 3 with the Sweetest Jerk sauce, just for a little variety. Had a chunk of hickory over the vortex for some smoke.

    These were some good size wings and I wound up cooking em for about 40 minutes or so. They came out just right, tender, juicy, great crust and a lot of flavor. I wasn’t sure how I’d like the Jerk Sauce because when I tasted it out of the bottle, it was just….OK. Now….we all know not to judge any BBQ Sauce or rubs straight outta the bottle. The final verdict is after cooking. Well, I was not disappointed! The wings with the jerk sauce were awesome, lots of flavor and a good spicy heat to them. I don’t expect that bottle to last much longer. Thanks Jim!

    My side was the best store bought Mac and Cheese on the market…Patty Labelle’s. I know, you’re sick of hearing me plug my ex wife’s stuff 🙄 I added a little fried bacon to put it over the top…and it did. Ok, I’m done.

      Those look delish! One of my recent orders included a pack of drumsticks by mistake (I'd ordered thighs), and I think I might just try something like this with them, make them an appetizer or summat.

      Wings look great PJ! Of course, my twisted mind saw the bottle of sauce and thought your SS had it named after you! 😁

    Cooked up some bacon fried rice on the flat top and made sweet and sour chicken. I cheated with the chicken and used breaded chicken breast bites from frozen section.

    Just finished up my homemade fermented mustard; brown and yellow mustard seeds, jalapenos, garlic, yellow bell pepper, and pineapple all in a 3.5% brine for a month. Into the food processor with about 1 cup of white wine vinegar, 1 cup of apple cider vinegar, and 1/2 cup of the reserved brine. Very tangy, a small bit of heat on the tongue, and a ton of heat up the in sinus cavity. I'm a big mustard fan and this is really good, plus, full of probiotics so really good for the old gut biome.

      Not too many mustard makers out there. I make some occasionally, but have never fermented it. I couple of times I Have given mustard as gifts.

      I have never been able to make a non-spicy mustard. Supposedly cooking it, or adding certain things for balance will tone it down, but I have succeeded. Spicy isn't a bad thing, but not consistent with Dijon nor course french country mustard. It has been a while, thanks for some inspiration...

    Steak and salad leftovers became brunch with the help of some leftover onions and cholula.

      Getting ready for Christmas Eve festivities. Like many, we do a two day event with Christmas Eve being a New Mexican food spread. My parent’s have made up flautas and chimichangas and I’ll bring Carne Adovada (blended dried red chile pods, pork and garlic) along with Posole.

      Carne Adovada - one of my favorite dishes, especially when I make Huevos Rancheros and a few sunny side up eggs.

      and Posole (hominy and ladles of the above Carne Adovada)

        This looks amazing! I was going to make carnitas this evening, but not anymore. Do you have a specific recipe or is this something to just grab from the interwebs?

      Reserved a few lbs of brisket flat from my smoke this past weekend. Today a couple lbs of it ended up in "chili stew"…that’s what I call the stuff my wife likes that has tomatoes and beans in it.

      Also by her request (Xmas…‘Tis the season!) I used Carrol Shelby’s chili seasoning.

      Just what the Dr ordered for this cold, rainy winter day!

      Had not grilled in a while, hoping to change that a bit come January. My wife bought a few rib eyes though, so I gladly obliged.

        That's what I'm going for, for Xmas day. There should be 8 of us plus two grandkids, if Omicron doesn't interfere. I sliced them today, about 2" thick. Salted and in the fridge for two days on a rack. I hope they look as good as yours!

          A wonderful evening spent with my better half. Kids were out at the movies so I made up a dinner to celebrate our initial fire in the outdoor fireplace, something that I’ve been trying to have built for a few years now.

          One of my 45 day dry aged ribeyes that I SV at 129 and finished in the CI skillet, served with seasoned broccoli and a baked potato. For dessert, a rustic blackberry galette. We also had a nice bottle of 2017 Silver Oak that my wife was given as a gift and then a night cap or two of Woodford out by the fire. A great evening to remember!
