  1. I did a brisket yesterday and it turned out pretty well, but the flat was a bit over and the bark on the ends was difficult to cut through. I didn't wrap this time because I was trying out higher temp cooking ~300 - 340. Thoughts on the tough bark? Also wasn't working with an ideal cooker set up: Webber kettle with a coal box and bricks to create a heat shield.
  2. Nice little blend with some filets tonight.
  3. This sums it up nicely.
  4. This is a perfect wine-prick post. Well done. (along with the other two of course)
  5. Gluten free, crossfitter, anti-vaxer? How would you like to drive criss country with that guy? You wouldn’t get a word in edgewise.
  6. I've not had it but it's a highly regarded boutique wine. Made by the Harlan Estate guys.
  7. I’ve rented a car the last few times I’ve gone. It’s nice to be able to hit some of the farther out golf courses without paying $100 each way for a ride. We headed out to Wolf Creek one year and I would not have done that trip without my own car to drive.
  8. Denny’s pancakes better than almost every other pancake I try. I’m certainly ashamed of it, but it’s the truth.
  9. Probably because our porous secondary makes his highlights look better.
  10. Yup, I noticed a stack of Bud Light bottle cases at the grocery store that were plain white and had a large "warning" that they were not twist top. Those cases are made to be sold to bars.
  11. Conspiracy: a secret plan by a group to do something harmful or unlawful The theory is originated in a lab is not a fucking conspiracy.
  12. Is it a conspiracy theory that the Chinese were researching how the virus acts in bats and they had shitty safety procedures? How is that a conspiracy? Seems more like negligence to me. DDD has a good point though: why do we care where it originated?
  13. Nothing fancy, but a simple tenderloin roast turned out fantastic. Roasted potatoes and sautéed green beans.
  14. Found this today and it provides a good summary of stats by country and by state. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/coronavirus/country/united-states/ https://www.realclearpolitics.com/coronavirus/ Interesting to note number of deaths and confirmed cases per 1M of population. Here's the chart for the top 10 in testing: State Deaths Deaths / 1M pop New Deaths Tests Confirmed Cases Confirmed Case Fatality Rate Confirmed Cases / 1M pop Estimated Cases United States Deaths 20,046 - - - 518,236 - - - New York 8,627 443.5 +783 440,980 180,458 4.78% 9,276.3 - Florida 438 20.4 +19 173,187 18,494 2.37% 861.1 - California 598 15.1 +14 164,863 21,448 2.79% 542.8 - Texas 254 8.8 +6 120,533 12,561 2.02% 433.2 - Pennsylvania 494 38.6 +48 120,153 21,655 2.28% 1,691.5 - New Jersey 2,183 245.8 +251 113,523 58,151 3.75% 6,546.9 - Massachusetts 599 86.2 - 102,372 20,974 2.86% 3,018.1 - Louisiana 806 173.4 +51 96,915 20,014 4.03% 4,305.2 - Washington 483 63.4 - 92,999 10,195 4.74% 1,338.8 - Illinois 596 47.0 - 87,527 17,887 3.33% 1,411.6
  15. Did a little chicken milanese the other night with a WWLB sauce. I’m turned out fantastic.
  16. Review of kitchenaid attachment? Did it work pretty well? I'm looking for a meat grinder for beef tallow, but don't want another standalone appliance. I got the plastic one and it worked fine with the meat. However, I got a strip of sinew with fat that bogged it down (the sinew wrapped around the blade and I had to take it apart to get it out). For ~$40 it's probably worth what you pay and I imagine I'm going to break it before too long. I bought a chuck roast I'm going to try and see how that goes. I'll make sure to update once I break it.
  17. I added some bacon, but apparently not enough. Good idea on getting some fat from the meat counter. I'll have to save some next time I trim a brisket.
  18. I bought the cheap add on to the kitchenaid to get my feet wet. I made some ground beef with some tenderloin trimmings. Way too lean. What’s the beat way to incorporate fat, or am I just using the wrong cut of meat?
  19. They walked it back. https://fox6now.com/2020/03/31/company-apologizes-for-ill-advised-plan-to-dock-pay-of-workers-getting-stimulus-checks/
  20. It's $27/bottle but I really enjoy the Abadia Retuerta Ribera Del Duero. Otherwise look for some Southern Rhone Giogondas or Vacqueyras. Lots of good value in those.
  21. Since we're entering the apocalypse I figure it is a good time to start making my own ground meat and sausage. Any recommendations for meat grinders (either as a KitchenAid mixer attachment or free-standing) and sausage recipes/techniques?
  22. You're obviously not from around here.🙂

  23. Lord loves a working man, don’t trust whitey, and see a doctor and get rid of it.
  24. Chablis will be fine providing it gets here quick.
