Last nights dinner could’ve been a little better, but it was the 1st time for me coating a prime rib with herbed butter. It’s all a learning curve, right?
macsinsac So what went wrong? What was your cooking process?

Tex_77 I think I just expected more due to all the effort involved coating that rascal with 3 sticks of herbed butter & not having the whole family here due to self quarantine. 225 degrees to I.T. of 130, rest while cranking up the Rec Tec to 400 then took it up to 140.

macsinsac That does sound like a tremendous amount of work, for maybe not much gain? Your temps are way higher then I would ever go to, but everyone has their own preferences on that.

Tex_77 Did that really come from a #TeamBlue member? Lol! I’m impressed, and I am dying for a stromboli right now!!!
You should send me the recipe for the crust if it turned out good. I’d like to use that against Jon in a future cooking competition! Haha! -

skibumben I tried out your limoncello recipe but I substituted the everclear with white rum. I hope it turns out ok. I know it’s not nearly the proof of the everclear so I might scale back the water a bit on the simple syrup. I will let you know how it turns out. Not that I know what it should taste like. But my mom spends time in Italy every year and she raves about the lemoncello so I will let her be the judge when it’s ready

I have about a half bottle of it that I picked up somewhere & have a little every now & then. I wonder if vodka might be a better substitute for the Ever Clear for you own. The recipe honestly looks better than the real thing.

calldoctoday It’s been a few years but I’ve made a great lemon cello with quality vodka. I follow the theory that I won’t cook with a wine that I wouldn’t enjoy drinking. I’ve had everclear on several occasions…not once would I say that I ‘enjoyed’ it. Lol. The best use I’ve had for it is for sanitization purposes on wine bottling lines and beer brewing equipment.

Joe Hell Joe, That makes good sense. I suggested it because of the more neutral taste, at least relative to Rum. I m going to have to try making some one day. I always made my own lemon zest & stored it, as well as various flavored vinegars. I suppose a little Limoncello would not hurt either.
How did all those premium sausages & Brats turn out?Dave

calldoctoday The brats turned out great and we’re quite popular! On Thursday alone we sold an amount that equals what we used to sell in an entire week. It’s been tough to keep up with demand. Next week I’m paring with a winery to try my hand at a ‘mimosa’ themed breakfast sausage with their sparkling wine. It should be a fun one!

Joe Hell Whoo, you are all getting better by the week. I wish I could get a taste of that stuff down here.
