What did everyone cook today?
-
Tex_77 I don’t remember the specific name but it’s a ‘livestock panel’ from a local outdoor store. I set it up as an ‘A’ frame and zip tie the top together.
Joe Hell That’s what I thought it looked like. I’ll probably do that next year, I bought some poly trellis netting, so I’ll see how that works this weekend, if its a failure I guess I’ll be heading to tractor supply.

Tex_77 Tonight I made curry chicken with some fresh local sheep’s milk yogurt, house made curry spice blend and chicken leg quarters from Mad Hatcher farms. I was able to feed my folks and brother, myself and a co-worker and the crew at Marcy’s bar & lounge across the street from our meat shop. Those guys have been out of work for a while now and have been frantically working on a full remodel of the restaurant. So happy to share with our friends in the good industry!
Joe Hell ####@@!!!$$$#3, You come up with some good stuff, Joe! What’s going on with that vertical garden looking setup I see in the background?

calldoctoday That’s a row of tomatoes and basil and a few marigold here and there. The balance of the garden will be peppers, corn, beans, snow peas, assorted squash, cucumbers and broccoli.
Joe Hell That sounds really good. Totally organic or normal?

It may have been a little windy today, but its never to windy for a steak. Had some spinach out of the garden in the salad, also had oregano from my vertical garden in my chimichurri. Also made some roasted vorn and black bean salad.

Tex_77 That looks good. Work all weekend for me as we had a few jobs come in that needed doing quickly while we can. I am working on reports now. We have been harvesting a lot of mint, pineapple mint, Peppermint, & Chocolate mint & drying/Dehydrating it & freezing it for tea. That is a long & slow process of picking, separating, & dehydrating.

Just a simple steak salad, but did stuff up 15+ lbs of breakfast sausage. Holly, 110 and maple with venison. I would say the 110 is my favorite of the three, would like more safe and heat, the maple could use more maple flavor for me, maybe try the extra maple next time.

Fred What do you look for ain a brisket to get a high grade? Do you think that cooking for judging is or should be different from normal backyard bbq?

Jonathon As a former KCBS judge, I was not thrilled with the criteria used for KCBS judging… And this would be why I am a former judge… I would much prefer if the contestants entered what they would feed their family and friends…

Tex_77 Tex, You give us a run for the money. I see you have you a Mexican Rice Recipe too. I call mine Mexicali Rice. It all looks real good & Tasty. Makes me want to stop working on this report & get down there & wash something down that is good to eat.

Well, I had to do something so here are some smoke chicken wings with Butter Beans from a few weeks ago. The Butter Beans are Dried Jackson Wonders from Last Year’s Garden. They were really good!

Jonathon Brisket should be tender, but not falling apart and I want to taste BEEF, not smoke and sauce. For years brisket was oversmoked as far as I was concerned. It’s gotten better in the last few years. It is different from normal backyard or even restaurant BBQ. I’ve seen restaurants try to compete and wonder what happened. Their ribs were either fall off the bone or still sticking to the bone. I like the meat a little tougher, but I judge to the standards set by KCBS.

Fred if you listen to most competition cooks, they will tell you the way they cook at competitions is not how they cook at home. In my opinion the only KCBS standard that might carryover to home cooks is tenderness. No one wants a brisket you could use to pull a truck out of the mud.
