I attended a gemstone presentation yesterday and they had a charcuterie board and let me tell you I was very disappointed in their salami. Great tasting but definitely not the same mouth feel. Mine melts in your mouth. Theirs was a little chewy. The Cappicolla I made is outstanding. Next time I am making a bigger one (and will tweak the spice level a bit)

@dr_pain - MAN THAT LOOKS GREAT!

@dr_pain beautiful 🤩

I do not yet have a dedicated meat locker yet, but we do have a spare fridge in the basement we use for our weekly milk supply and other extra dairy products/condiments we don't use daily. I will likely use the upper quarter of the fridge in the meanwhile.

@jonathon I know that you will put it to good use as much as time allows

@dr_pain I would with the amount I would put down, no one needs to see that...

@dr_pain I'd eat all of that in a dark closet.

@dr_pain That's a good problem to have!

@samspade said in [What's your next Meat Project?](/post/55583): > Nice slicer. Congrats on the purchase Thanks! Best $300 investment I made so far

@pivodog said in [What's your next Meat Project?](/post/55469): > @dr_pain Do you ship? That looks awesome! Haha! I am sure that I could arrange something. Been experimenting with different types of salamis and cultures. So far it has worked out perfect except for the fact that I am producing faster than I am eating LOL!!!

Nice slicer. Congrats on the purchase

@grimpuppy - Yeah Man!

@dr_pain - Thats a good one!

@pivodog - Nice

@dr_pain I'm hoping to be getting some dry cure books and equip for Christmas, the anticipation is killing me

@Dr_Pain For those that don't know I stole some of his crypto and kept it hostage until he sent me receipts for him buying the slicer. Or something funnier, sorry, I was watching hunting videos all day yesterday in anticipation of the Governors Hunt I am lucky enough to go to this upcoming weekend and the Rifle that I am picking up tonight. That Rifle will feature HEAVILY in what I am going to be talking about, Brett even made the joke that we shouldn't even bother having someone else on the next podcast cause all I will talk about will be winning that gun. I have been trying to win a gun for the past 8 years, so this is a big moment for me!

@cdavis It was a Berkshire Boneless Loin from D'Artagnan

@dr_pain Do you ship? That looks awesome!

Yes, colby jack

@pivodog what cut of meat do you have there 🤔

@grimpuppy looks great 👍

@pivodog those look tasty 😋

 Emptied the meat locker tonight and portioned my salamis. Check my vacuum sealer hacks I’ll be posting for some interesting experiments And obviously putting my 10” Walton slicer that @Jonathon ”made me” buy through its pace

Just finished smoking some Canadian Bacon! 

@grimpuppy thats going to be tasty stuff.

@grimpuppy that is a good looking batch is it colby jack ?

Smoking some cheese tonight 

I get the same feeling. We were watching a Dexter marathon while I was making jerky. Had the entire kitchen island wrapped. Boy clean up was a breeze

@surg That's the training you have had, it's got to be sterile.

 About to grind out the meat for 5 pounds of habanero barbecue and 10 pounds of mandarin teriyaki snack sticks. Every time I prep for this kind of thing with the saran wrap I can’t help but feel like Dexter.

Looking good

Today 1Kg of Chile Relleno Sausage!  

@ridley-acres Because I am French I am definitely attracted to creole, patois or any variance from West Africa or Dominican Republic. I can only do it for a little while because my brain starts cramping because I try so hard to understand

@dr_pain I have the same feelings toward Patois/Jamaican Creole

@ridley-acres I think you hit the nail on the head when you said listen. I moved to Louisiana 26 years ago and I still can't understand some of them, but I do enjoy listening to them because they are so entertaining

I could listen to them folk talk all day long.

@dr_pain and now we know. Thanks

@calldoctoday said in [What's your next Meat Project?](/post/54616): > Except for when I got to go to all you all's house & then I got to graduate up a bit. LOL!!!! Mais dats a good one, ya sha!

Except for when I got to go to all you all's house & then I got to graduate up a bit.

@calldoctoday HAHAHA! I actually thought it was because the river "passed ba-you house". That way I could take my pirogue and get down when I get to yall's house. Imma make the groceries but I'll need your help to save 'em

@dr_pain Gee, I thought it was how I got Bayou in the deep south when traveling up & down the waterway.

@processhead Is there such a thing as terra-firma in sound Louisiana (about 20 miles from the coast). I think my new land is 32ft above seat level so that makes me king of the hill LOL!! Seriously the house will be brock on slab, definitely not on piers

Good luck with the move to the new place @Dr_Pain . Will the new home be on terra-firma or are you going to be up on piers for when the next big one hits?


@dr_pain Another definition is that there are coon-a s s es and great cooking in the bayou. I is where all great seafood funnels through. It is where people know how to eat, have fun, and play good music. Simple enough.

@chef AHAHA!!!! LET'S GO BRANDON!!!

@dr_pain Now, we can't have all that equipment go to waste while you play real estate tycoon. I can hook up my trailer and be there in a few hours to pick it all up and make good use of it. Just want to help out.

@nd-mike Trust me I am definitely gonna have a nice cooking setup...... and I am bringing my theater room. Obviously the stang is coming and needs a place to park. Other than I could not care less

@dr_pain good luck with everything. I hate moving but I too am wanting to downsize when the kids are out of the house. I want a smaller house with a huge garage with cooking/meat processing area.

@samspade Looks good, I have some pork butts in freezer that are going in the smoker after hunting trip.

@dr_pain Mine used to say its useless information, but I have converter her to calling it seemingly useless.

@ridley-acres According to my wife I am full of interesting trivia..... and full of (CENSORED) LOL!!!

@dr_pain Interesting, I had not heard that before 

@ridley-acres I love the cartoon but still wrong. A river by definition is a water way which shed in bigger tributaries to end in the ocean A bayou by definition is a tidal river which actually run down towards the ocean but also flows backwards with tidal rises. They use to be called byway (2 ways) but they got bastardized because of the lack of written language in the colonial days that they became bayous

@Dr_Pain Sluggish? 

@ridley-acres Nope.... one more try (with a Hint). The hint is that it is an older English term to describe the water movement

So then perhaps its a swampy/marshy area.

@ridley-acres Nope..... try again! Should I associate a prize with it?

@cdavis Thanks! It will be an interesting ride. Won't be as heart breaking as selling what was supposed to be my forever home (I designed the house, had a gourmet kitchen, a HUGE shop for all my toys etc..). Unlike the forever home this house was an investment

@dr_pain said in [What's your next Meat Project?](/post/54531): > bayou and not a river Depth and flow rate

@ridley-acres AHAHAHAHA!!!!! It would be down the BAYOU down here ;) For making fun of my predicament, why do you think they call it a bayou and not a river

@dr_pain good luck to you sir. I hope all goes smoothly for you 🙏

@dr_pain said in [What's your next Meat Project?](/post/54526): > in the meantime I will be living in limbo. 

For those of you on the Livestream yesterday may have heard the news but I decided to sell my house and downsizing. The plan was always to downsize but we had a 5 year plan for that. The house I am in was an "investment" house and looking at the market, playing market speculator and realestate mogul I feel that it is the best time. Been in the house for 6 years and the comps show me at 27% over my original purchase value. ANYWAY, having said that I am soooooo SAD that unfortunately I won't be able to do any meat projects for a while. I am thinning my meat locker to nothing, can't start any salamis and cooking is reduced to bare necessities just to keep the house in pristine condition. Wish me luck because this is gonna be the hardest thing for me. I use cooking as mental therapy. The new house should be ready April/May and in the meantime I will be living in limbo.

@samspade looks good to me. Enjoy

Gave the masterbuilt a little workout. 15 hours on this pulled pork but I think it came out great. Apple juice injected and a cheap brown sugar pork rub.

@midwest_kc I'd say probably brisket or chuck would be your best bet.

Here in about a month when the competition BBQ season is over, we've got a huge sausage party planned, lol. Going to have probably 200ish pounds of pork butts, and 100ish pounds of wagyu brisket trimmings to turn into summer sausage, brats, snack sticks, etc. Currently looking at the different seasonings to see what all we want to do. Also, I'm thinking about buying some more beef to grind up. What is the best option for beef cuts when accounting for price and quality sausage?

@nd-mike said in [What's your next Meat Project?](/post/53000): > @dr_pain you are gonna like that big spoon! HAHAHA!!! I know man. Thanks for sharing and sharing some more. I needed someone to twist my arm

Thanks. Got8 people waiting for dinner probably wont be any to send. I hope

@herbcofood looking good 👍

@herbcofood Send some this way when you finish the smoke, it sounds real good.

It's in the smoker and temps coming back up

@herbcofood Looking good, you have a lucky boss, must be a good one.

We are in flight!!! 

@dr_pain you are gonna like that big spoon!

Rinsed them off and soaked them in water for about an hour to pull out some of the salt. Now have them rubbed down and waiting for the fire to be ready.

Pulled pork. Porkbutt in the fridge overnight. Baked beans and coleslaw for the boss's birthday.

@cdavis She really is, doesn't take things too serious.

@cdavis she really is.

@nd-mike good woman I'm happy for you.

@bocephus sounds like a good woman. Congrats

24 more hours until the venison pastrami gets out of its liquid bath then moved over to its smoke bath...

@bocephus that is great. When my wife and I got married part of our vows were "To Hunt With You"! We pretty much do everything together.

@bocephus perfect! Mine too!

She keeps me in my place…. And had to approve all the purchases and provide the necessary P.O. LOL!!

@nd-mike It is absolutely great to be married to a strong woman, mine is independent and allows me to be also.
