Just had my annual ‘boys night’ for some friends, and cracked out a brisket and some ribs with roast potatoes, coleslaw, espresso bbq sauce, smoky salsa, horseradish cream and pickles. Given it was dinner, I got things on early in the day and cooked at 285F. The brisket was interesting as it was a bit smaller at 4.2kg, and it powered through without much of a stall in 7hrs, so had a long rest before serving. Slightly sore head this morning, but an excellent night.

Haven't done a pork roll since I don't know when. This is a 5lb pork loin stuffed with Pepperidge Farm herb stuffing with cranberry, golden raisin, honey crisp apple, green onion and zucchini. Wrapped with 1lb of bacon and dusted with a sweet pork rub. I had a bottle of pork gravy which went well but the BBQ sauce BRDSLR recently posted was very good with it also. Actually my niece enjoyed it so much she asked to take some home, no problem. Comfort food in New England in the winter.Forgot the asparagus.

When that day comes i'll be ready and you are more than welcome to stop by lol

It all looks great !!!! I'd eat all of those potatoes and be looking for more lol

Looks great Remi! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm a boy too, and after seeing all those fantastic favorites I like..... a very lonely one too. Good job, lucky guests

You did it up right! Oh, and the food looks great, too! 😄

@tekobo i don't know if asahi offers a sponge sanding block, but hasegawa has one to smooth out the board after heavy use. but i've never been able to smooth out the surface other than raising up even more plastic "fur" on top. but again, microplastics don't bother me. i'm asian and immune to it from years of eating hot foods out of plastic bags. and because i'm unable to smooth the board out, i am leaning towards wood (endgrain) for my next board. and if it dulls my knives a little faster, so be it. i rather enjoy sharpening anyway.. if i have to buy another synthetic, it would be the the black asahi for plebs, not the pro kind..
