      Who knew she was talking to Ernest, Jerod Broussard ? "With a rebel yell she cried "more, more, more" More, more, more."

      I thought she yelled wee weeee wee wee all the way home?

    I feel like I have not cooked in ages. Cooked once on vacation, once the week I got back, and I was out of town all last week. College boy was complaining about feeling lethargic so I said lay off the Mickey D's and taco hell and he said why don't you get back to cooking. So time to get back in the groove: Game changer MMD chicken breasts, fire roasted habanero, Cherokee and celebrity tomatoes, avocado, and romaine. Tomatoes and peppers are from the garden.

      Looks good. Tough to beat fresh peppers and tomatoes from the garden!

      A great looking cook. You just can't beat fresh tomatoes.

      Thanks peeps!

    Second of my heritage breed chickens. Slightly better result than the first. But I'm really unhappy with the product. Tough tendons, nasty skin. These, sous vided, buttermiked, floured, fried. Breast, once you took off the skin, reasonably tasty. The thigh, not terrible. The second joint of the wing, the meat was okay, but I had to use a knife to open one of the joints so I could rip the other one opened. The top of the drummette, very hard to get the meat off the bone and connective flap. And the drumsticks... just unpleasant eating due to all the connective tissue in it.

    I've now made disappointing results from a vertical roast and a sous vide with these birds. I've sent a letter to the company. I think I'm gonna ask the folks at ChefSteps also.

      I'd blame it on that Diet Coke.

      I contacted the provider, and they are refunding for the two failures and offered four recipes for the remainders. I'm picking over the recipes for ideas and techniques. Two day buttermilk brine might not actually be the worst idea, though I need to reread my Goldwyn/Blonder

    A few T-Bones on the Keg last night, after I pulled the brisket. The keg was up too 500 F in no time after pulling the brisket. I used some "Hardcore Carnivore" rub. That stuff is pretty damn good. And it gives you an awesome seared crust.

    DWCowles, NoDak, DW, I stole Your S&P Rib Rub Yesterday! I ain't bringing it Back! I am taking it to the Sweet and Sticky in Dickey ND Rib Cook Off next Year! It was my first Cook on an Oklahoma Joe Offset Smoker I just bought! I modified it before the first Fire! Added an Adapter for BBQ GURU DigiQ DX 2 Temp Cont. with the Large Viper Fan! Both the FireBox and the Cook Chamber were lined with Fire Brick. A Baffle Plate and Sealing Kit by SmokerMods.Com were added! I had intended to get the Smithfield Ribs on by 11:00 AM? I got the S&P (Kosher Salt & Coarse Grd Black Pepper) on them about 8:45. By the time I got the Fire Started and up to Temp it was nearly Noon! I used a combination of KBB, Cowboy Charcoal, and Apple Wood Logs for Smoke! Basically I spent the rest of the Afternoon monitoring the Fire and Temps! At 5:45 I applies a Finishing Sauce to the Ribs it was made with: 1/2 C each Yellow Mustard & Kraft Honey Mustard Sald Dressing, 1/2 Stick Melted Butter, and 1 TBS each of Garlic Powder & Paparika! At 6:00 PM it was time to eat! Eunice made a Fruit Salad and had picked up some Potatoe Salad and Garlic Bread to Round Off the Meal! Four of us Ate, Everyone said they were the Best Ribs Ever?

      Time & Temp... and looks like you fried in a low carb way?

    First try at belly bacon. Used all three of the MH recipes. One batch of each. Ten days in the cure. Smoked at 225 with two chunks of hickory. Update: Just pulled the asian bacon off the smoker. Wow! My favorite of Meathead's 3 bacon recipes.

      richinlbrg, I really like the regular bacon. I like the maple, but would cut back on the syrup next time, a little sweet for me. I haven't smoked the Asian recipe yet.

      I will definitely do it again. It's an easy cure to do. 7-10 days, and I used ziploc bags. Each batch was about 1.5 pounds.

    Potkettleblack went in 155 degrees hot tub time machine for about 3 hours. I was out doing other things, but 2 hours would do as well.
    At this point it's fully cooked so I keep some in the fridge, debone for salads, quick fry without worrying about internal temp etc.
    Zero carb, absolutely no dredging involved. Crackling skin, moist interior.

      Thanks. Seconding the thought that you should be working for Saveur in either recipe development or photography.

    Here is the small little Brisket I finished up on Sunday night. The Keg ran great. It was about a 11 hour cook. I'd say I averaged about 245 F. I kept it in the cambro for about two hours then cut some slices and threw here in the fridge. This was a personal 11 lb brisket. I will get some damn fine samies from this alllll week.
    Big PopperSmokers, Cash Cow on the rub. No injection, Overnight brine.
    Thanks for looking !!

      I'm really jealous Potkettleblack . I went down to the garden to check my Mirai yesterday only to find that raccoons had totally destroyed the whole patch. It was a few days from being ready, but the little b@$t@rds didn't care. I was able to salvage 1/2 of one ear. This was my first time growing Mirai, so I was really looking forward to tasting it because of all the great reviews.

        Guest, If You raise Sweet Corn in Coon or Deer Country You Have to Stand Watch Over Night! You Could Get a Good Dog to Help but if the Dog gets a Taste of Corn it Will be Worse than the Coon's! I have heard a double line electric fence works? One wire 3-4" AGL the 2nd @ 20-24" AGL, G'Luck, Dan

        @Danjonston949 - The garden is fenced with a 9' fence, (2 X 4 wire). Ain't no deer jumpin' that, but the raccoons can climb it... But I could add an electric wire and smear a little peanut butter on it.

        Breadhead have I ever mentioned that my family ... after the long haul from the dust bowl .... ended up near Visalia? Or that I worked for Sisters of Providence and Little Company of Mary hospitals? Who are in Torrance, among other things?

        Jerod Broussard - Bad Jerod! Bad!

      I split an 8 pound pork loin. I coated one piece with Herbs de Provence and the other with pepper and garlic powder. I rarely sauce, but my wife wanted a thick coating on the pepper/garlic piece.

        What a beast. I thought the 5.85 lb (pre-trimmed) loin I got was big. I trimmed mine down to 5 pounds and have it curing for canadian bacon.
