hoovarmin Online pricing is crazy, so I bring back a selection when traveling up north. Menards is the only brick-and-mortar store I've found that carries the full selection.

Something simple...it was supposed to be deviled eggs, but my DD offered to peel the eggs...and well, we have deviled egg salad instead.
SheilaAnn got me inspired, using my usual deviled egg recipe I've been making since I was little....
What’s your favorite way to prepare deviled eggs? mayo, mustard, relish, dash of paprika and sometimes a sprinkle of chives.
Tastes like deviled eggs.

Blue Rhino Razor
Dyna-Glo XL Premium Dual Chamber

Thermometers
Thermapen Mk4 - ThermaQ High Temp Kit - ThermaQ Meathead Kit - ThermaQ WiFi - ThermoWorks IR-GUN-S - ThermoWorks Signals & Billows - ThermoPop -ThermoWorks ProNeedle - ThermoWorks TimeStick Trio x2 - and a Christopher Kimball timer - NO, I do not work for ThermoWorks...I just like their products.
Other useful bits...
KitchenAid 7-qt Pro Line stand mixer
A Black & Decker food processor that I can't seem to murder
A couple of immersion blenders, one a "consumer" model & the other a "high end" Italian thing. Yes, the Italian one is a bit better, but only marginally
Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus 8-qt + accessories like egg-bite & egg holders
All-Clad pots & pans, along with some cast iron...everything from 7" Skookie pans to 8.5qt Dutch ovens
Weber GBS griddle, pizza stone, and wok
Knives range from Mercer to F. Dick to "You spent how much for one knife? One knife?!" LOL
Well, as usual…I’ve been busier than a one armed wallpaper hanger. I think I’ve been across the country 3 times in the last four weeks. Sheesh
Anyway, took most of last week off…and cooked pretty much every day. And, as usual, failed to photograph most of it. LOL
Still managed to get a couple.
Did some ribs on the kettle… First time using that for smoking. Definitely a different beast from my WSCG. But it worked. It seemed to settle in a bit under 250°. This was taken after they were attacked. ;-)
Also did some fish & chips…that turned out fantastic. But managed to delete those when doing a bit of “housecleaning.” Derp
So I’ll just have to make them again. :-) Did those on my Techef butane stove. Great little device, but it struggled a bit to keep up with the pace I wanted to cook. Next time, I’ll probably use the Control Freak…or perhaps both.
The next one is a bit of a cheat. (Read: I barely cooked. Soba noodles and that’s it.)
My SO wanted something like a poke bowl…or maybe a salad. So I made a poke bowl soba noodle salad.
This one is mine, which is why there’s no effort in plating. LOL But I pretty much forgot, yet again, to take a pic or two when the important ones were being served.

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." ~Benjamin Franklin
I haven't made pizza in about a year and Richard Chrz has been posting his pizza experiments lately so I decided to get back in the game. Also, I went to a wedding in Couer d' Alene, Idaho at the beginning of last month - on my last day I was in Spokane with time to kill so I went to Iron Goat Brewing Co. and had several beers and a pizza with a sourdough crust, really good. I talked them into selling me some of their culture and that is what I used for this pizza (actually, they sold me a whole dough ball in a pint deli container. I actually got it through airport security with no problems).
Deli style pepperoni and my home made Italian sausage with shredded mozzarella. I made the sauce with a can of San Marzano tomatoes doctored with garlic, salt, and a little oregano and basil. Turned out really good. The crust was perfectly crisp on the bottom but tender and chewy in the middle. Small but good rise with nice bubbles (no pics). It may have been too chewy, maybe I'll work the dough less in the first rise next time.
I started the dough at 9:45am Sunday, let it double in size (took 4-5 hours) while doing three turns and folds. Then I divided into 250g balls and put into the fridge. This pizza was made at 6:30pm or so Tuesday. Baked in my oven on a Baking Steel. Preheated one hour at 500o and turned down to 450o when the pizza was put in. Total cook time was about 8 minutes, turned 90o half way through the cook.

Grilled up some ribeye caps and a SJUfeller Wagyu ribeye. All of it was fantastic! I love the smoke hanging in the air when I am getting the charcoal ready. Then there is that perfect light blue smoke that no one can get enough of.

Toom appears to be avaliable at Target here. I sent my wife the link and asked her to put on the next order. An order arrived today and another expected Friday. So, it could be awhile. Good chance I'll be in that area before another order is placed. I'll drop in. This looks like it could be applied to many recipes.

did some baby backs for the fourth on the KBQ. Totally forgot to rotate the ribs and rushed them a little bit so there weren’t consistently tender. Still good but, some rookie mistakes… haven’t made ribs in awhile.
also did some surf and turf… fresh copper river salmon and some ribeyes. Only the grill pick cause these got obliterated as soon as we pulled them. Delicious!
