Did some short ribs. Turned out tasty. Wifey enjoyed it. Put a rub in the ribs overnight. Put it on for 7 hours... I went out and when I can home the temperature was too low hence it took longer. First time I have cooked short ribs. This was way too much food for us lol. Couldn't finish them so the leftovers will be used for pizza tomorrow. It's been cold and pouring with rain today. Chestnuts in the KK was a perfect way to finish off dinner with a Pinot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, last night's cook was my 1st attempt at mayo instead of mustard as my base. Spun some lovely Berkshire bone in chops with an ear of corn. The setup - Sriracha stix (on the right) inserted into the chops, light slather of mayo on the chops - one gets the IPA rub and the other gets the Slap Yo Daddy. Into the roti basket (1st cook with it), along with the ear of corn. Onto the KK, direct @ 350F with a big chunk of peach wood. An hour later. Plated up with some air fryer frozen onion rings (1st cook of those, too! Nice and crispy, but this particular brand didn't have a ton of onion inside.)

My latest dozen of eggs had some interesting colours for the egg shells. They are all the same colour inside though, this was a green one cracked open.

Yes, I remember now. My Acrunanas used to perch on the neighbouring fence. I thought I lost her until I saw her perched outside the coop. Had to clip her wings. I had Australopes which were good chooks. I mainly have standard hybrids now... the chooks help with weeding the vege patch. They basically till it for me when I rotate the crops. They also take care of the food scraps. I think someone posted about what to do with the ashes from the cooks. Chooks love bathing in the ashes. Helps with keeping the bugs away from them.

When Wal-Mart, Target and local stores don't carry the good stuff just order it online. Found a great website called Staub's that sells BBQ stuff at great prices and shipping was a flat $10.99 for EVERYTHING. MUCH CHEAPER THEN AMAZON! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

Ketchup on poutine - heresy, MacKenzie, just heresy! Happy Canada Day! 150 years strong!

I got some green blue eggs from a farmer they tasted great Outback Kamado Bar and Grill

Yes, a green/blue egg is certainly an Araucana egg. They were popularized in Berkeley by e.g. Cafe Fanny (now-closed part of Chez Panisse diaspora), and they fetch the best price in New York City's Union Square farmers market. Mostly, for the novelty. Many factors make big differences in yolk quality, but shell color (or breed, for that matter) isn't so significant. More relevant, do the chickens get to eat bugs? The best chicken coop setup keeps moving the coop across a grass field also used by grazing animals, as described e.g. by Michael Pollan. Araucana chickens aren't that popular in home coops, because they don't have the greatest temperament, and they're flyers: Unless you clip their wings, no fence will hold them. There are chickens that lay deep chocolate brown eggs, a far rarer sight. I'd look for those if I were raising chickens. Instead, I take care of neighbor coops.

Good call on getting all three.

Well done, sir!

Nice set up Outback Kamado Bar and Grill

Here yah, Jon! Have to admit that I often am shuffling stuff around during my food prep to make room on the cutting board. I'm a big mise en place guy - everything get put into prep bowls/ramekins.

The tines I popped into the bone marrow.
