It was from a school bake sale. Wife picked it up from a coworker. We got a blueberry cream cheese one we are gonna cook up on Sunday. Pull it from the freezer before bed. Set it on top of the stove covered with saran wrap. Let set for 8 to 12 hrs to thaw and rise. Then bake in the oven

The bacon experiment continues. This time it is a simple natural brine. No nitrites. Water, salt and celery powder. Off to the fridge for 10 days. Once done there I will split it and do half in a cracked pepper and the other half plain both smoked over hickory

Our son (23) had COVID last week. Mom and Dad didn’t get COVID, but we’ve both been nursing colds since late last week. We’ve tested negative for Covid multiple times.

Mom’s not feeling great today after work.

Chicken soup would be good, but we’ve got just enough turkey leftovers to swing some turkey noodle soup while she’s napping upstairs…..she never does that, so I know she’s feeling crappy.

Quick throw-together. 25 minutes to get here. Still pretty quick with a knife.

Just needs a little time and some egg noodles….smells comforting already….

Good for you I bet it will make her feel better! I just got back from a cardiac stress test wishing for chicken noodle soup, and all I had on hand was a can of Amy's Unchicken soup. It beat nothing, but I don't recommend it. Your turkey soup sounds way better!

An afterthought, and started about my bedtime, but came out darned good.

Yeah, I’m not feeling great either, but we’ve got this boxer puppy to keep tabs on….. Somebody needs to be attentive.

At 6 months, he’s pretty good but…..

Ribeye steaks, Homemade steak fries in the air fryer, and Little man is having chicken nuggets.

I've noticed there's been a shortage of fries the past few months. We don't notice though. The homemade ones in the air fryer are so much better

Dat's a mouthfull-o-steak.

Magic- those look so good.

Bet my homemade chicken wing sauce would be a great condiment…..

This Saturday is Christmas dinner for us. Kids from both coasts can get here, and their grandparents will be here too.

10 pound Guest of honor…..will be grilled whole. I don’t peel them too much other than the silver. Leave chain on.

Do a herb/garlic rub, then vacuum seal. Rub is garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano and black pepper. Leave salt out, as you don’t want to pull water from the tenderloin.

Will likely work a little venison in too. Have a nice tenderloin that would make great medallions for an appetizer.

Bacon round 2. This time I did the brine with water, salt and dried celery which does the same chemical reaction as adding nitrites to the brine. 10 days in the brine. Out of the brine I cut it in half and did a plain and a cracked pepper crusted version. On to the smoker over hickory for 4 hrs at around 150. Final results are pretty tasty. One thing I found with the maple bacon was that vacuum sealing the bacon helped to intensify the Smokey flavor. I look forward to pulling a bag in a week for more testing. After doing 2 bellies, I’m gonna eat through what I have before try another recipe.
