What did everyone cook today?

[GWG8541]

Jonathon perfect. That may even get a nod from Tex_77

[Dave in AZ]

Jonathon great looking steak. Super thick!

[Jonathon]

Thanks guys, yeah, he gets fed better than most dogs. but there wasn’t any trimming he got off of that steak for him!

[calldoctoday]

Jonathon The look on that old boy’s face is priceless!

[Jonathon]

calldoctoday I should mention, even though he EASILY could, he has never taken anything off the counters. His brother took a box of donuts down from on top of the stove once but Brutus has never grabbed anything off the counter that I am aware of. And that is NOT cause he fears me, he doesn’t, at all. I shock him with the color and he does nothing. People always think I am either crazy, doing it wrong or lying about him not caring about his shock collar. Here is an Instagram video I took the other day https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnzil-LO5SO/

Jonathon He sure does have that worried dog look to make you think that he has to be thinking about it though, but just not taking action, as much as he really wants to. That would seem to be a very well trained & disciplined old boy. PS: Great videos of both of the brothers.

Jonathon it’s when he eats you, that we are not “shocked”

[salmonmaster]

Departing Contestant yes, to me big dogs don’t lick you because they like you, their just tasting you.

Jonathon Dogs act differently to shock collars, some vocalize and some internalize and even then each react differently to differnet levels. My first dog a 95lb male yellow lab, I usually used a level 2 and I had a 60 lb female that I had to use a level 4 to get a reaction, she saw the collar coming out and would get excited because she new we were going training.

Jonathon Looks like you feed him good

[toys4dlr]

Dave in AZ thanks dave. I got that one at phoenix knife works, great shop if you have never gone. It is a town cutler chopper and the handle is made from cloth fibers in a stabilized resin. It is ment to mimic native blankets. It has become my go to knife, kinda like a nikiri and a bunka had a baby. Lol

[calldoctoday]

bocephus Then Old Duke, he was a trip. He knew, somehow, just when you might use it or the automatic thing might go off & would stop whatever he was doing in mid stream, & not do anything that would cause it to go off before it could ever happen when we started training him. I don’t think he ever felt a shock or had it physically used on him because he somehow figured the whole thing out before it ever happened. Had us always scratching our heads. He was one of the finest Healers we ever had. Not like any others we ever had.

Jonathon I watched the video, I think he is totally oblivious to the collar. He was a long way away but I didn’t see him dip his head or anything.

OleSmokey i wanted to thank you for the inspiration on the braunscheiger. I decided i would give it a go over the weekend. This is the first time i broke out the champion juicer i bought off ebay to emulsify meat, so this was the test run

I cut the receipe down to 6 lbs and used chicken livers, duroc pork belly and some pork butt. I cooked the onions, then ran it all through my waltons 22 grinder with the one shot head and 4.5mm plate. I mixed the spice mix, cure and milk powder and then partially froze the meat block and slice them into strips to feed into juicer
I only took one picture of that and i am getting an error trying to load it

Then i broke out the champion juicer

The end emulsified meat

The only collagen casings i had were smaller almost 2 inch ones. So i stuffed, sous vide for 1.5 hours and then cold smoked for 3 hour the next day after they had chilled down in the fridge

All and all i call it a success. Brings back memories of me and my dad eating slices. He loved braunscheiger.

toys4dlr Looks great, I keep looking for a used Champion juicer

[OleSmokey]

toys4dlr It looks good and glad it tasted good. The chicken livers should give a more mild flavor than pork livers. The next time I make it I might try it with chicken livers.

[zbigjeff]

toys4dlr A “juicer” to emulsify! That just made me smile. Some of the things you guys think to accomplish processing are astonishing. Way to go.

[cdavis]

toys4dlr it looks great congrats

Dave in AZ Nice
