I disagree,
ham, sausage, and bacon together is great.
because they are all pork, but different tastes, and textures.

just add some fresh fruit to counter balance.
yes I do eat fruit, sometimes.

Mike-Can you please share your rib recipe? I have both a electric and charcoal smoker and love messing around with em.

MadDogMike posted on 07/30/2010

Joe I don't do anything fancy. I give them a good dry rub from the store (it was Smokey Sweet something with chipotle and cinnamon), smoke them for about 4 hours adding a fresh batch of wet chips every hour. 15 or 2o minutes before the end I slather them wth lots of BBQ sause and let it glaze a little. Too long and the sugar makes it burn. I like the Smokin' Joe Jones Spicy sauce, avail at Costco. Then grab some paper towls and chow down :D

Costco has this mesquite rub that is as good as anything I have done from scratch,I use it mixed with some brown sugar.

Nothin' fancy here, just some low fat comfort food; meatloaf (with extra lean ground beef), steamed sugar peas with Bacon Salt, and mashed potatoes (chicken broth - no butter, milk, or cream)

Speaking of food, I went out today to check on my Medjool date tree and the green dates are HUGE! This is one that fell off while I was putting pillow cases around the dates (to keep the birds out), this isn't even one of the big ones. They are the size of a small plum.

Bacon Salt, you say...hmmmm

Lean mashers sound really good. I don't always want something so buttery, either.
I'm cooking a weird kitchen sink curry at the moment.

Spaghetti & home baked Sourdough Bread

Unfortunately I let my sourdough started die a couple of years ago. This was a Krusteaz Classic Sourdough mix. Not great but OK, "sourness" was only mild and could have used a pinch of salt. Probably would have been better to buy a loaf of real sourdough and re-heat it in the oven.

amybean posted on 08/09/2010

To make up for all this healthy eating we've been up to, we procured a pizza stone and whipped up a:

half sauteed Shitake and button mushrooms, half pesto w/black olives.
Home made tomato sauce + Trader Joe's pizza dough in a bag = win.

We are just grilling up German Bratwurst tonight,we get it from this great German Market called "TipTop Deli" in Oceanside.
don't know if its picture worthy,though?

Coco Joe posted on 08/09/2010

I think I left it in the cure 2 days too long and this old electric smoker I've been trying out kinda blows. Gotta stick with my non-electric smoker. This was my first time curing and I think I should probably stick with the basic before I start trying weird things

It was so good that we're gonna make another tonight. Cutting the dough portion in half will allow for a thinner crust heh. There isn't any great pizza in Alameda, so we are on a bit of a mission. Practice makes perfect, right?

Seems like I can buy already pickled corned beef cheaper than I can buy plain beef. Corned beef is dirt cheap, especially in March.

Geez, all the Italian is really having an effect on me....

I'm trying to figure a way to smoke some italian sausage and then make some lasagna. Not sure which
wood species would make the sausage pop but not overpower the lasagna.

What do you all think?

Chris

ATP
Atomic Tiki Punk posted on 08/10/2010

I smoke Italian sausages all the time,It takes only a couple of hours in a smoker
taste really good on a roll with peppers & onions.

If you use it in a dish,just thin slice the sausages as they do have a smokey flavor that could over power some dishes.

M
MadDogMike posted on 08/10/2010

smoke + pork = pure bliss

I say run with the smoked sausage in your lasagne. All that "over powering" nonsense is just lies spread by those who don't like smoke flavor :D

I say! my good man! we upper crusty's do indeed love the smoked meats,Indubitably!
