Going to smoke my first brisket this weekend.
Also going to do a pork butt with that Albini rub that Pissy posted on here.
Wife has relatives coming in this weekend, so apparently we're going to feed them.

I kinda felt that as well.  Maybe Rager could hop a plane, fly to Ohio, and give me some pointers?  I'd feed him and ply him with some fine Ohio ales.

Genuine good luck. For a first brisket. That people are going to eat. Relatives with expectations. Srsly hope it turns out like you're a pro.

Didn't somebody here make a pork burger recently? Sounded good so I went for it

I appreciate the good wishes.  I certainly don't want to disappoint, but on the other hand, I don't know what they are expecting, as I sorta got pushed into this, so...

You could always fuck it up on purpose to ensure you wont find yourself in this sitch in the future.

That did cross my mind, but I'm trying to be a team player.

The last couple nights my wife's been saying there's nothing to make for dinner. I'm like "hold my beer".

Update:  the brisket turned out pretty good.  Several people raved about it, although I thought it was just "ok".  The pork with that Albini rub was great.  We really like that flavoring.  We put some extra on some burgers and my wife was beside herself.

mmm, dumplings. bathing in a beautiful sauce bath, nice plating (tray) too.

I need another big batch.

Did you notice the cut of chicken?  Interesting huh?  It's legs with the thigh end just cut off and the shin just barely cut through and folded over. Try it at home. I bought them this way at the K store. Another leg cut they have is butterflied. That one cooks quick too. Good for marinating.

I saw those but thought it was a little piggie or something. I could barely look at it...scary! Lookls like some good bird though. I'll ask my butcher bout that cut.

RAGER

That butterfly leg ???? s a good one too. Feature that.

Bought this tomato knife for the tomato season. Look at all this stupid packaging and swag.

Don't feed the trolls... and don't be a pussy.

The knife kinda sucks. Gonna buy the Wusthof and see if it's better.

I do use chopsticks quite a bit. Have you ever had sticky Thai popcorn?  Best eaten with chopsticks to avoid sticky fish fingers.
