Bringing my A-game!

[Dr_Pain]

Chef PapaSop ND Mike HerbcoFood processhead Jonathon Austin … and all the rest of you guys have challenged me to bring my A game, so despite not having much time this weekend I did manage to get my new Waltons 10" slicer and sliced that brand new home made sopprassata, which came out of my meat locker. Although I am pretty good at making stuff, I have no artistic capacity. I enrolled my wife to help me with creating a charcuterie appetizer for my sister-in-law’s birthday. Enjoy the post!

For those wondering, I did slice the meat and the extra sharp cheddar cheese with the slicer, and it was soooooo much fun!!!

I personally think the curing of meat is very artistic of you. Good job!

[ND Mike]

Dr_Pain wow! That looks amazing. Those types of meats are something that I have never tackled! Bravo!

Thanks! Flattering but I approach the curing of meat with a scientific methodology which unfortunately does not translate well when putting a platter together. I will definitely work at it but I think my wife is much more skilled and gifted than I am… or will ever be

Come on Mike! With all your games you should consider getting into it. They are not too hard and definitely a show stopper at a party

Solid, I love charcuterie boards.

That looks wonderfully delicious.

Normally appetizers take second fiddle to the main meal but a lot of peeps skipped the meal and I brought home an empty platter

Dr_Pain Likes like you guys make a good team, you on the processing side and your wife on the presentation side.

Going on 25 years in the 25 to life sentence. I think we are a good balance in complementing one another’s strengths

I think that platter looks awesome it does not matter that the meat is your thing and the arrangement is your wife’s thing sometimes it just takes two

Dr_Pain that picture looked so good, I almost tried eating my phone

Dr_Pain I agree with Ridley Acres . Just being able to cure the meat is artistic. Great job, and a bit of credit to your wife.

Thank you sir! When two opinions converge there is no more arguing. I am the Claude Monet of Salami ROFLMAO!!! (At least I have the Claude right)

It’s really weird, your photos are right side up in your post. When I click on them to get a better look they are upside down.

[ND Mike]

twilliams i noticed that too!

Dr_Pain awesome. My wife and I are doing a charcuterie board for a Halloween party. Plan on adding all the cheesy props to make it spooky. We’ll see how it turns out.
Not sure if you post on any other Facebook groups but I’m pretty sure I used a picture similar to yours to try to convince my wife I need to buy a commercial freezer or similar to build a curing chamber.

That looks awesome!!! I could easily skip dinner for a charcuterie board like that.

Dr_Pain congrats to you and your wife that is one awesome looking tray and I think most of your pictures are very artistic. Congrats again
