Finally got cool enough to use the outdoor pizza rig (KettlePizza on a weber kettle grill). Kinda a pain to keep it fed (uses a ton of fuel) but did 6 pizzas in about 30 minutes (only because I didn't pre-form the doughs). Lower hydration doughs used so it would set before burning (around 60%...

Tried my hand at a Big Mac. Not the prettiest looking burger, but it did taste like the McDonalds burger from what I remember (been a few years since I had one). Two things I learned, the patties (which I smashed) are supposed to be only 1.2 oz each (I used 2 oz), and the sauce doesn't have any...

At the cabin closing up this weekend. Stayed up late, so this morning a brunch McMuffin... Beautiful day in northern PA....

My, that's one of my favorite meals! If you would have left around dinner time you could have been to my place for Sunday dinner and that could have been my revolution dinner, though I've only gone around 62 times! Happy Birthday, late!

Have a b-day coming up, so had to buy something fun... Got a new dehydrator. Originally bought to dry peppers to make chile powder, smoked paprika etc, but couldn't resist trying to make some easy jerky. Made a batch last night, started another up today. Pretty darn easy to make, does take...

After 11 days, the sun finally showed up! Did some chicken thighs on charcoal and hickory to celebrate!

Yea, and as I remember you do a 50/50 mix of meats. I see that is what the spice label suggests on the back. I might mix some cheese in, wifey liked the last time I did that (though I used the hi temp cheese which I'm out of, might just chance it with some dry aged sharp cheddar). Brats turned...

This is definitely the time of the year I start making more sausages. Found a pork butt on fire sale today, will make some bratwurst tomorrow, but need to decide on a recipe for a beef/pork mix, might cure and smoke. Jumped on here to look for @ibglowin's normal German sausage recipe that can be...

Welcome @Milbon! I hope you can find everything you are seeking here!

Lunch, charcoal grilled tuna on a salad (Cajun seasoning on the tuna). Did cook quicker than expected, small pieces. Still Yum!

Nope, programmer. I do website maintenance now, as well as sales support stuff, and took over for a lady who left and send book orders out for one of our clients (ie. fulfillment). I do anything I can to not have to find a new job, I'm almost 62 and starting to count the few years left to...

That doesn't sound silly, I bet my wife would love that!

Work was scarce, so I took one for the team (lol) and did a half day. Been trying to get a nice crust on my smash burgers, found an old video for the weber gas grill. Definitely helped. 80/20 beef (was using 73/27), 600*F + griddle temp, no oil on griddle to start. Made 2 x 2oz burgers for...

Only thing that would make them better is if one of the racks was on my plate, lol!

That's so funny, I bought a small griddle (Lodge) for the grill yesterday and made smash burgers on it for the first time. Wifey loved them so much they will most likely become a weekly meal (used chuck this time, might try some ground chicken next time).

Thought it was going to rain into the evening today, but "Debby does Dallas" was here and gone pretty quickly. Sun out now and warming up, very tropical out (dewpoint af 77.4*F at my younger bros house about a mile away). Still did some pizzas inside. One for the girls (half pepperoni half...

My youngest Son's b-day today, he requested lamb. Was nice enough out to grill this on the Weber propane grill. Pulled at 125*F and rested for 5 minutes. Marinated for a couple of hours in garlic, olive oil, rosemary and more garlic. No vampires around tonight! Nice and tender, yum!

Okay, finally getting some much needed rain. So cooking outside would have been tough. Used my excess mushrooms I didn't use in the pizza for some Lamb Stroganoff. The savory flavor of the lamb pairs so well with the shrooms, garlic, onion and cream. So yum!

Lunch pizza turned out great! Tavern style crust (ultra thin) with a mushroom cream base, then cheese, then some more mushrooms and a touch of basil. Yum! Now time to work on dinner...

Tomato sauce is fine, I just had a hankering for a white sauce. Just made a Joe Beddia (Pizza Camp) mushroom cream sauce. Will put it on a 4 day old dough for lunch with some more mushrooms if my wife would get out of the kitchen, lol. Pictures later... With the leftover mushrooms and cream...
