What did everyone cook today?

Surg I plastic wrap my cheese after it’s chilled and the vac seal after 3 days or so. I noticed you are doing some really large loaves of cheese. I usually will split those into thirds or fourths because I use a lot of it for gifts etc. That way you’ll have smoke om all sides, besides I usually don’t give anyone a 2.5lbs. block of cheese. I sometimes cut the blocks lengthwise so I can use my slicer to cut 1x3" pieces for the cheese plates my wife puts together.
Bob Stehlik thanks for the tips. it may just be perspective or the fact that my smoker is small. They are about 2“ x 2” x 6“ but I did think of that after the fact when I went to turn them that it would’ve been better to have cut them into smaller chunks.

Nice cool day. Trying my hand at smoking some cheese.
Doing a white cheddar, jalapeño havarti, and some baby bell cheeses. Smoking with hickory (only pellets I had for the tube). Planning to do about and hour then flip for another hour. From what I read on all your posts here sounds like I should vac seal after that to let the flavors mellow for at least two weeks. Will be a tough wait.
Surg Definitely worth the wait, it mellows the smoke out. Here’s my last batches I did all sealed up. They are sitting in the fridge now. Sitting under a seal also ages your cheese. That is how they age cheddar now days in a vacuum bag.

calldoctoday oh man Looks amazing.
Surg Thank you, it taste good too. The only problem was that My wife & I could not eat all of ours, so we saved it for the next day. Then I got stuck out of town for an unplanned extra day. I was looking forward to more. So Margaret made up a Crawdad Stir Fry when Andy & I got back, then sliced some of that steak thin & added it to the stir fry for a land lubber’s surf & turf stir fry.

calldoctoday The “top it off” item was the mushrooms/shallot butter sauce. I just did the same combo but with cognac. Both combos DO set off your tasty buds.
zbigjeff Yes!

Did a slab of St. Louis cut with SPG and brown sugar on 2 pieces, Walton’s Chipotle Lime one one, and a spicy Thai chili rub on the other. I cut them into individual bones after the cook and put together a chopped salad with apples. Life is good.
GWG8541 That salad looks great. It all looks great!

Made some spatchcock chicken a while back and the wings were left overs. I ended freezing them and last night pulled them out and fried them to IT 175F and glazed them with some BBQ sauce. WOW!!

They were flavorful, juicy and very satisfying. I thought recooking them would make them yuk and the skin would not do too well but the experiment paid off. I will definitely do this again

So I made some patties out of Willies that was left in the stuffer along with some dipping eggs (over easy) and toast. Hit the spot for a quick breakfast. I made a plate for the wife too. Now to finish the snack sticks.
