Nothing today, but I've got a shoulder for tomorrow's race. Sides haven't been decided yet.

We'll be by for leftovers tomorrow evening.
Edit: My bad, meant to send to Bell TG. Might take us a little longer to get out to Utah to visit you, Steve.
C'mon over. Put a couple of lbs. in the freezer. Will eat the rest tonight or tomorrow.Tootie4Pack said:

It's getting that time. I may fix chili one day this week.Steve Videtich said:
Cooler day here in Utah. Making soup!
I'm 61 years old, and have heard fix or fix'n to, all my life. Maybe it's just a Johnston County thing. Kinda like asking someone where they stay. We've interchanged that with "live" for as long as I can remember.brickturner said:
Sorta off the wall, but my niece has pointed out to me we often say fix, or fix'n to in odd ways. But I know what you mean.
Sounds like a K & W visit for some folks. Leftovers ain't gonna eat themselves. Kudos to you for being able to eat liver pudding. I'll gladly give you my share.packgrad said:
Had a unique meal of leftovers. Risotto, fried liver pudding, and salad.
Another month? That's unexcusable. I can definitely appreciate your frustration.FlossyDFlynt said:
Nope, its just been a ***** and a half to get my warranty claim to process. Still sidelined, probably another month.
I am very, very annoyed

I do a lot of my experimenting with new recipes cooking during the week and save weekends mainly for tried and true favorites. For a little change of pace, tonight I pepared a marinade of worcestershire sauce, Lawry's seasoning salt, a "few dashes" of smoked paprika and a liberal amount of kosher salt, then rubbed it on these ribeyes. Left them on a baker's rack on the counter for about an hour before I put them on the charcoal (had just picked them up from the butcher, so they were not refrigerated after they left his shop)..
They were quite tender, with a deeper beef flavor than I've had in quite a while from a home cooked steak. Not sure what brought that out, but I will definitely try this again. Certainly when we have friends over, in order to get their opinion. In the past, I've typically just season the steaks with kosher salt and a little black pepper before cooking.
Used a vortex with lump hardwood charcoal in the center of my 22" Weber kettle. Temp was steady 500 F. Marks came from placing steaks on grill grate directly over the fire for 1 min. each side, turning at 30 seconds to get the marks, then moving off the direct flame.. Total cook time was about 5 minutes for the rare. Plated them on warm plates, covered loosely with aluminum foil, until time for serving.kbdavis33 said:Bell Tower Grey said:

What temp/how long did you have that on?
Interesting grill lines with such a rare center
You smoking the entire turkey or just a breast for the trial run?ncsupack1 said:
Gonna grill something this later today....haven't decided what just yet. Also, gonna smoke a turkey this Sunday for the race. Gonna be a try run cause wife wants a smoked turkey for thanksgiving, any ideas or suggestions? Never have done one, but looking on line doesn't seem too hard.

If you're doing the entire turkey, you should probably use some type of injection to help keep the meat moist. Maybe even the breast, too.
Admittedly, I'm a fan of brining, both chicken and turkey. I also inject turkeys when I cook them, either by smoking or frying. I usually use apple cider, honey, butter and a little cayenne for turkeys. Have added beer on occasion.ncsupack1 said:Bell Tower Grey said:You smoking the entire turkey or just a breast for the trial run?ncsupack1 said:

Yes, I plan on smoking the whole thing.
I been reading today trying to figure out which way I wanna go. Seems both have their pluses.Bell Tower Grey said:Admittedly, I'm a fan of brining, both chicken and turkey.

I don't think there is a wrong decision, either way. I've brined then used an injection and dry rub for both smoking and frying. I guess it depends on what you've either been taught, seen done or just want to experiment with.ncsupack1 said:I been reading today trying to figure out which way I wanna go.

I'm smoking one for Thanksgiving using apple pellets in the fuel, and a dry rub of brown sugar, kosher salt, thyme, rosemary and black pepper. Simple things that almost everyone can / will eat.

My brother-in-low does a great fried turkey.....so good.Bell Tower Grey said:
pg, you are right. Fried turkey, done properly, is a gift from the food gods.
I've used that same technique a couple of times to fry whole chickens when I just wanted to play around to see how they would be. They turned out as good as the turkey does.
