What did everyone cook today?
-
Philly cheese brat. Keto style.
lkrfletcher good looking meal
-
Slow cooked a couple of butterflyed pork chops in a dark Cajun Roux with veggies and the pork slathered in Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning. A “thinking of y’all, Louisiana” tribute to those terrific folks suffering hardships this week.

zbigjeff I always put a pan of ice cubes and sometimes set my a rack on top of them; in the smoker to help keep the temp down. I use a Traeger w/cold smoker like johnsbrewhouse. Haven’t had any failures yet! At least we can eat our mistakes(most of the time)! I usually smoke cheese between mid November to late April. Still eating some from January. I tightly wrap with plastic wrap and vac seal. I also have a small dorm room style fridge that is dedicated to my cheese and smoked cheese. That fridge door doesn’t get opened as much and therefore limits the temperature swings.
Sounds like your rehab is going well. Just remember to stay out of trouble. Ok, you do need to get into a little bit of trouble to have fun!Bob Stehlik johnsbrewhouse Here’s the follow-up on the smoked cheese. Well, I tested 2 (mozz and Mont Jack Jalapeno) 7-9 days after sealing and they came out nicely smoked and NOT GRAINY as expected. Well, that was win in my book. BUT, I took both of your suggestions to a bud’s house using his unit and the smoke tube (aka: farther away from the heat source and tray full of ice). The end product works out MUCH better and left the cheese still in original cube form. Thank you both and anyone else I failed to mention.

bocephus I decided if I became vegetarian, I would by far be the most unhealthiest one ever on the face of this earth!
my son has a shirt that says “hey vegetarians, my food poops on your food” I’m so proud of him.
kyle Now, that shirt is hilarious. But, I would guard against walking into a strictly veggie restaurant with it on.

Tex_77 nice. I found that seasoning very salty.

Making a slow cooked chili with elk strap cubed and mixed in some goose breast cubed. It’s gonna be good.

lkrfletcher i thought it was less salty than store brands…

lkrfletcher OK, how could any of that be bad? Very few people in the world can ever claim to have that combo in a chili. Congrats

zbigjeff I know you have Kroger stores back there because Kroger’s corporate is in Cincinnati. I get a lot of my mozzarella from the Murray’s cheese kiosk when they are marked down. I’m able to pick up the mozz [censored] for .99-1.99 (reg. 5.99) and the mozz logs(melts better for 1.99-2.49(reg 7.99). After I smoke them I’ll wrap in plastic wrap and vac pac and freeze. I do about 30 [censored] & 15 logs a year and they will still be good a year latter. I’m not too proud to not hit the “Marked Down” cheese & meat areas of the stores. Found some great buys, but always check expiration and do a visual. Good times are usually after Holidays.

We don’t have any of those in north Wisconsin, at least I don’t think so.

Bob Stehlik That’s a great plan. I’m always looking for markdowns on this type of stuff or sales at Sam’s or BJ’s. There’s no Kroger’s close to me any longer. The closest is 45 mins south of me.

HerbcoFood Recently bought a smoking tube. They are WOW for pounding in extra smoke on non-smoker units or for cold smoking.

For some reason that first sentence took me back to '75
Had to shake my head a couple times, meat processing meat processing.

zbigjeff that begs the question. If it’s strictly vegetarian, is it really a restaurant?

GWG8541 Up here in Yuppie land, yes. In the rural areas, almost non-existent.
I hope you live in the country then. Around here if you don’t eat meat, then you eat chicken or pork. Sorry, just a little humor.
hey vegetarians, my food poops on your food!
