Baltimore Pit Beef. First time both making and eating. Used eye of round rubbed overnight. Smoked to 110 (90 min) then finished on grill to 122ish. Pulled and rested hitting a high of 131 IT. 
 

Piled onto a roll with thinly sliced onions and a generous amount of Tiger sauce (Mayo, horseradish, lemon juice, minced garlic) 

 

Both wife and mother were a tad dubious about just a “roast beef sandwich” with the wife commenting that she would prefer BBQ sauce. Two bites in “you know, this is actually pretty good” and by halfway through were singing it’s praises. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a picture of the sandwiches before everyone dug in!

I've Got Crabs!!!

 

What a difference 40 years makes!

If I would have said that in my Army days, folks would have run off screaming. 40+ years later, folks are running my way!

 

About 3 lbs of dugeoness crabs and a bit of red snapper from the grill with a KC blend appetizer...

Smoked a ham yesterday.  This was about 2 1/2 hrs in, just before I wrapped it.  It's a spiral sliced ham.  I smeared it with yellow mustard and coated it with a brown sugar & rub mix. Smoked it, sprayed it with OJ, sprinkled with the rest of the rub mix, wrapped it, and pulled it when it hit 140°.

Average smoke temp was ~ 220°.  I forgot to take a pic of the finished product.  Mrs. Skinsfan made stock with the hock, and  she made bean soup with it today.

Sensibility says that after the corned beef and potatoes on St. Paddy’s, the corned beef hash must come next with the leftovers...if available... 😌

So, that’s what’s on the menu, tonight!  Unfortunately, no fried egg on top as we’re inexplicably out of eggs, but it is delicious nonetheless.

Man that looks good. I've actually got the opposite problem with eggs at the moment.

At some point, you have to pitch the stuff that's past date.  For the rest, make deviled eggs or egg salad.  By the way, no one has ever got food poisoning from my cooking.

Oh my god that looks amazing. Fried egg on top would push it to grand slam status.

The dates on the end are the date of the oldest egg in the carton. I've just been too busy/ under quarantine to get rid of them like I normally do. Believe me, we eat a lot of eggs. And just for the record, you cannot successfully peal a hard-boiled egg that hasn't sat for 3 weeks before boiling, although fresh ones are the best for sauce/ frying. I am throwing out the last of the 1/24s today.

I don't believe that you couldn't find one in the back yard with all those damn birds.  Not chickens but still eggs. ;)

I've been cooking up some spicy Indian curry. Lots of garlic, ginger, birds eye chillies, tomatoes, onions etc. 

 

 

Served up with pilau rice, peshwari naan bread and onion bhaji. Washed down with some ice cold Bitburger. 

 

Cheers!

In future years when someone asks me what it was like to go through Covid...I’ll say, “I ate a lot of lemon baked cod”... 🙃.  I’ve possibly eaten more cod in the last year than I have in my previous 58.  And, SMOKINJOE’sMOMMA made great lemon baked cod back early!!!  😋

I’ll finish this 1lb+ tonight...😄

What Joe and Matt and some others said re: COVID food -- eating some strange, past the best-buy date stuff and have not gotten sick YET!  Shelf stable whole milk bought online early on when stores had no fresh milk, lots of bulk breakfast "wheat bran flakes" cereal bought because no smaller boxes remained on the shelf, etc.  Even if your wife bakes, a 20 pound bag of cane sugar seems to last a lot longer than the year we've had it; more than half of it is still with us even though the shelf stable milk ran out in Jan 2021, and the bran flakes are almost gone.  We are down to our last two frozen Trader Joe's salmon steaks purchased in bulk (no smaller bag) in March 2020.  Grilling them this coming WED which we thought would NEVER happen.  In May 2020 to celebrate our b'days and wedding anniversary, we splurged for an Omaha Steaks deal, figuring it'd be weeks if not months before we got meat and fish again.  TONIGHT, we ate the last two 6 ounce filets from that pack.

 

Had my annual physical today.  I LOST twelve pounds over the last year in spite of eating many pounds of Reece's Pieces over the last two months when we started going to stores again.

 

Celebrating with MM BP with an ice cube.

So I actually have so many eggs because we have chickens. The date on the carton is the day packaged, not an expiration date.. but with covid we haven't had the opportunity to offload quite as many as we used to. Here's a shot of a few peeps, just for fun.

Fond memories of second grade Easter when I won a chick in a class raffle.  My mother and dad grew up on farms but were NOT happy when I brought it home.  Five weeks later, it was living happily at a local chicken ranch, or so I was told when I found it was "gone".

 

We having lemon butter pan-grilled tilapia tonight (I'm off chicken for a couple more nights now).  Found it in the freezer under the filets yesterday.  Calif sauv blanc (Wm. Hill), the last of our homegrown winter lettuce and mizuna salad, and from scratch brownies.  A short Teelings Irish whiskey before dinner with cheese and crackers.

April Fool's dinner - meatloaf cake and deviled eggs with names.

 

My parents grew up on farms and told me to NEVER name an animal you are raising as a 4H project if you expect to eat it.  The deviled eggs (left to right as you look at them) are Ernie, Eddie, and Edie.  I ate them anyway.

 

EDIT = mashed potato frosting, of course.

 

To drink?  Old Fashioneds made with WT MK 17 YO.

Started with a couple pours of OF SiB for an appetizer...

20210403_132404.jpg.16369b2d29ca1d9452ae84bad4004b5f.jpg

 

Grabbed a pork butt started at 11pm last night and shut down the smoker at 11 this am and rested 2 hours...

20210403_132326.jpg.808b283148a27de146a486bcd816438e.jpg

 

Added a baked tater split & opened with seasonings, butter & chives...

Tossed upon some sharp cheddar & sour cream

20210403_150247.thumb.jpg.7b1440291084c83d51f2a2a6fb7e0b40.jpg

 

Topped with a bit of the butt and a smidge of bbq sauce which was unnecessary...

20210403_150512.jpg.4858ac8394664985394a9858d2e59fa4.jpg

 

Threw away the scale & cholesterol meter...

Proceeded to gorge...

Visitors followed suit...

You guys are making me look like I’m slumming it. Fried chicken and a cob salad for supper this evening. Tomorrow will be another story though. 😋

 

Biba! Joe
