What did everyone cook today?
-
Getting ready for St. Paddy’s day. I was going to make a Shepherds Pie, but technically it is a Hunters Pie since I used ground venison. It was tasty. I washed it down with a Guinness Xtra stout.



GWG8541 Very nice looking pie. Bet that Guinness was good with it.

Cut up my corned beef brisket today in prep for Thursday, half for St. Patrick’s day meal the other half goes to pastrami. Put the pastrami on this morning and ended up with an auger problem on my Traeger. It’s the only thing I didn’t pull when I torn it down a couple of weeks ago. Apparently I had a burn back into the auger tube and swelled pellets which froze the auger shaft. Fixed that and got things smoking. The small bits are some maple cure scraps from a pork loin that I thought I would try a new cure recipe on that I made up. It will work out really well for Canadian bacon and simple. Just three ingredients, Smoked sea salt, sure cure, maple sugar. The pastrami has been on for 10 hours, will cover at 10 pm (12 hrs. on smoke) and let go until 6am at 180 degrees.

johnsbrewhouse Never fails. You get everything ready and something will mess with your plans. Glad it was an easy fix. The pistrami looks very nice.

The finished pastrami after 20 hours of smoking and cooking, along with cooling. The pepper flavor is super. I just picked up another corned beef today since they were on sale for $4.45 lb.

Bob Stehlik You are pardoned, I am enjoying a 1/2 test sandwich right now because the slicing and tasting of tidbits made me hungry.

HerbcoFood No, we did not think to take any actions photos. We were too busy gobbling them up. I will try to remember that next time.

mrobisr The rye bread got tossed, was in the fridge and I looked at the heal and saw green and it found it’s way to the round file. The kraut is still at the store because I forgot it today when I was getting my cabbage and carrots along with everything else for tomorrow and what we were out of. It’s hard being the houseman when the wife is still working and earning some of the bacon money. She’s a slave driver, LOL.
