    Bummed to the max...

    ... because I just walked away from a 20 pound Angus packer for $55. Damn thing had the flat profile of a skirt steak and it was really hard to tell how much point was under all the fat cap. I settled on a couple of skirts and some more chuckies, but to be honest, the freezer is starting to fill a bit with all my chuckie experiments. I suppose this weekend I will just live vicariously through shify..

    Now.. where did I leave that bottle of Blantons..

      Almost didn't because it was the last packer in the cooler, but no lie, I have seen beef jerky thicker than that flat and I have trimmed enough Packers to know how much fat was gonna wind up on the board. Based on thickness, the SV bath timing was, oh, 10 minutes.

      imagine a world where all briskets came pre trimmed by a pro, perfect fat cap left on, and all you needed to do was unwrap it salt it and smoke it....

            Spoken to a man drinking Blanton's last night to kill his sorrows..😘 Ate many a worm out of Mezcal back in the day also, so I'm not skeered to run with the big Dawgs.. bring some of those beans also... They will go well with the chuckies

          Just think, you would have bought it and been P.O'd. Good call. Time to start eating out of your freezer. We did that a while back and we quit after like 3 weeks.

            FlaBouy i do believe you are truly a meat junkie. You never met a hunk you didn’t want to put into submission.

              My wife "cooked" yard bird the other night to give me a break. Those Wayback burgers with bacon were fantastic!

              nice blade work, I like to pound the beejesus out of my flanks with a big stock pot before I grill too.
