Ok Who Is A-Smokin' What This Weekend - The Cat Is Back.

[La Quinta]

Can't wait for Giz to walk me thru the whole jerky thing...honestly...I love to learn...I'm good at the making chit up with stuff...but when it needs a particular cut of meat...or anything else...I get lost...I'm a what's left in the fridge kinda gal...:)

[Gizmo]

I see the OBS getting cranked up tomorrow night and shut down sometime Monday...

;D ;D ;D ;D

Sounds like another sleepless (almost) weekend for you.  Nice.  That is the type of weekend that gives you a good feeling when you go into work and they ask you, "Did you have a good weekend?".  Then you say, "well didn't get as much sleep, but it was awesome".  When you start the smokin list, you can see the drewl breaking on the corner of their mouth.   :P  :P

LQ, Looking forward to helping you out.  I think once you see a few things, you'll do the wow, that isn't as difficult as I thought.   ;)

9lb tube of Ground beef from Sams - for Fatty's and Sliders - Was "inflated" - opened it up -  >:( UG! bad meat. it had a date of 5/29/08

Change of plans!

Go back to Sams, return meat, buy more, end up at LongHorn Steakhouse for Dinner.

Smoked my 1st chickens ... two whole chickens!!!!!!!

1st = mandarin sauce with mandarin fruit in cavity.

2nd ... Italian seasonings ... lots of garlic under skin.

5 hours in smoker .... came out great ... moist ... tender ... tasty ...

[FLBentRider]

The beef ribs were "ok" - they were kind of fatty. It was an experiment.... still better than I have paid for out.

Well, my brother in law bought a ton of meat, so I'm gonna be smoking some boston butt (13 lbs) and two pork loins.  I also have to sneak my canadian bacon (which will be in its smoke phase tomorrow) in there some time.  Then doing spare ribs on Monday.  Gonna be some long days but the rewards are well worth it.

The Canadian Bacon is Done.
The Beef ribs are Done.
The Fatty's are Done. Thanks Nepas for the recipie - I made six pounds, I'm not sure they will last the weekend.
In about 30 minutes the Butts will go in for an overnight smoke.
The jerky will have to wait until tomorrow.
The Almonds are in the brine.

Hey SD..since that big man can my my brother run away and giggle like you do...what are you guys gonna eat? :)

[Smoking Duck]

Hey LQ,

Your brother can feel free to giggle like a schoolgirl, if he so desires. 

We're gonna be eating a lot of things....I forgot that I'm also doing your thighs on Monday as well.  I really don't believe that my Bradley will be shut down at all from 5am tomorrow morning until late into the night Monday.

Well, it could be worse.......I could live in the arid desert region of California and not be able to cold smoke  :o :( ;D.

I can say that now without feeling bad for you will soon be full of cheese and all things cold-smoked!

[Gizmo]

Dang, I hope you left some mud bugs for someone else  :o

Someone needs to pass LQ the prune juice.  She's gonna be so stopped up from the cheese that her IT will soon reach 125F if she doesn't move some of that out.  Sorry bout the cold weather, LQ.  At least you're getting a chance to see how the common folk live  :P

I always drink beer to warm up.......then I move on to the hard liquor once I've gotten good and warm........... ;D

I'm sure you're having a blast LQ.  WIth a host like Giz, it'd be your fault if you weren't having fun.
