  1. Bering’s finally got my GMG Jim Bowie Prime in. Delivery and setup scheduled for this Saturday.

    Went to B&W meat market and stocked up and Lumberjack pellets. Amazing deal compared to what I’ve seen on line. $11/20lb bag. Bought 18 bags.

    Planning on doing my initial burn in immediately and segueing into this shit I picked up at H-E-B. Thankfully it was still open:

    Planning on going at 225F on the brisket. Hoping like hell I don’t fuck it up. Pointers?

    My cholesterol actually came down. I'm guessing it was more due to losing 35 pounds. 

    I think it’s how u go about doing the keto, tbh. At first I was doing “dirty” keto, just eating gobs of shit minus the associated carbs. Have since tried to throw in more salads and veggies with less reliance on pure animal fats/proteins.  But it’s hard. 

  3. My best friend lives in NorCal. Sent me a pic from his local Costco selling certified A5 Kobe at $99/lb. I went to the greenway Costco during my lunch break ready to buy hundreds of dollars of those steaks but none to be found. They also had stopped carrying the tied up ribeye caps for the last few months and those are my favorite cuts they have.

    So, I emailed corporate about my disappointment and lo and behold the ribeye caps were in stock today. Doubt my email has anything to do with it but I’ll take it as a win. Portioned for the sous vide and into the freezer. Can’t wait.

  4. Been doing keto with intermittent fasting for a little over 4 months. Down almost 60 lbs. always trying to find new ways to eat shit without getting sick of food. Breakfast is usually 4 eggs scrambled with a splash of heavy cream and 3 strips of bacon.

     

    Below is tonight’s dinner. Been craving spaghetti/lasagna so made some lasagna with sliced deli rotisserie chicken as the noodles. Worked amazingly well. Didn’t notice any competing flavors and texture was spot on. Caprese shown below too (mozzarella hidden under the basil). Will try to post more shit as I make them. Hoping some of u guys could contribute too.

    Other than Avalon Diner, are there any good greasy spoons in the Memorial area? 

    Buffalo grill? I’m not at all a fan of their egg dishes, but they make some of, if not, the best pancakes in town. Certainly the best pancakes near where I live 

  6. It’s an adaptation of Julia child’s 

    I cut up about a half a pound of pork bellies into lardons (didn’t want to use bacon because I didn’t want the smoke to overpower the dish)

    3lb chuck roast cut up into about 2”x2” pieces

    1 onion largely diced

    2 carrots cut into coins 

    2 T thyme, chopped

    4-5 cloves garlic, grated on microplane 

    2.5 c low sodium beef broth

    2.5 c red wine

    1 T tomato paste 

    2 T AP flour 

    1 beef bouillon cube (which, if u look at the ingredients adds nothing but salt, some seasonings, and msg - can likely leave out, but adds umami)

    8 oz button mushrooms

    1/2 pound pearl onions (I used cippolini because I like them better)

    parsely to finish

     

    render pork fat

    salt beef and sear hard and remove

    add diced onions and cut carrots sauté till softened

    add tomato paste, thyme and garlic and cook for 1 minute 

    deglaze with wine and scrape up all the fond

    Add stock

    place meat and any accumulated juices back in pot

    Simmer on low for 3 hours covered

    in a separate saucepan melt 1 T butter and 1T evoo and saute the pearl onions on medium low until deeply browned all over and move to half the pan. Towards end add the mushrooms to the other half and sauté until softened and add 1-2 T grated garlic and s/p to taste. 
     

    once the gravy thickness is to your liking pour the onion/mushroom mixture into pot, mix and serve. Parsely for garnish. 
     

    don’t overly salt the gravy early because it will reduce and intensify. Reseason towards the end if needs salt

  7. I’m a lazy fuck and don’t clean the ash out after a clean until it’s time to cook again. By that time there’s 3 gallons of water in the bottom bowl and a mud slurry awaits me. I’m intrigued by the “cup o ash” cleanup I can use my fucking Dustbuster on with a pellet smoker 

  8. Went down this rabbit hole after reading this thread. Have a WSM, but honestly, the cleaning and upkeep of it are a major turn off. Looking at the Yoder 640, just not sure if competition series or regular. Competition series really just gives u better shelves (which I can buy for $250) and better wheels. The upcharge is almost $700. Leaning towards regular and buying the upgrades I need like stainless shelves and diffuser plate. Any ideas?

  9. Always intrigued by the crab case at H-E-B. Tonight, said fuck it. Going in. Steamed them for about 10 minutes and made with Trulucks mustard sauce for dipping. Pictured along the side is some mussels in a white wine/garlic broth and caprese salet with butter lettuce and avocados, dressed with evoo and legit balsamic, which is worth every fucking penny. So much better than the usual shit.

    Arguably the douchiest post ever made on Surly.

    Stick to posting pics of homemade ice cream and taking pics of food at restaurants like u were a 17 year old Vietnamese girl trying to maintain Yelp Elite status.
