I boiled pork in like five pounds of lard. Don’t ask questions, make tacos.

Picked a bunch of ramp leaves and made a condiment with em too.

I made desert last night.
Neighbor was going up to Walnut Creek, OH so we put our order in for 3
Amish Angel Food cakes

Pairs with chocolate ice cream like nothing else, save for a spoon.
1st cake was history in 24 hrs.

You can keep the sashimi though.

My Grandparents spent every winter in Texas. My Grandpa was a big fisherman and caught lots of Redfish, froze them and brought them home. They are delicious, fried. You can have the raw stuff.

I have fried hundreds if not thousands pounds of redfish. Only this year have I turned to raw. It was a game changer.

Enjoy the game, I'm not playing.

Roasted brussel sprouts tossed in a little olive oil and Manchego cheese and roasted garlic seasoning.

I hate Brussels sprouts but I’d actually be willing to give those a bite.

Roasted is the only decent way to eat Brussels sprouts. I've tried them so many ways, but roasted they are ACTUALLY delicious.

Kids got their first taste of meatloaf tonight!


Not THAT. They've had that before.
THIS Meatloaf, however was totally new to them.

Especially with a little bacon.

One of my very favorite albums/cassettes/CD's. Every song is gold. Shows my age.

Medallions of chicken breast poached with thyme and peppercorns, topped with morels [picked yesterday morning at the cottage] in a cream reduction sauce. The asparagus came from a farmer fried a quarter mile down the road.

Fired up the smoker for the first time this year. Garlic pork sausage and ribs before I wrapped them and sent them back to the smoker for an hour.

My first butt smoke of the year, they took 18 hours of white oak smoke and we’re fall apart delicious. The second picture is soy sauce marinated chicken tenderloins skewers grilled then glazed in unagi (sushi eel sauce) and topped with sesame seeds. The skewers were an experiment but they turned out to be very addictive!

They just bulldozed the old abandoned house across the street from me, including the old pear tree there. I was able to scrounge a handful of the wood from the stump for the smoker, as well as some cuttings.

Anyone ever use pear wood for smoking before? I haven't, so I'm curious what to expect from it.
