This was interesting, I thought I'd make potato scallop and bake squash to go with a precooked frozen beef pattie. 3/4 of the ways thru the veggie cook I unwrapped the pattie only to find out that it was raw. Did a made dash to the KK, fortunately there was old coals in it so I was able to get it heated up very quickly. Put some of my perfectly melting cheese on top of the burger.

Lately I've been getting the following message quite often when I am within the KK forum and going from one area to another. Is anyone else having trouble?b Sometimes I get it after writing a post and clicking on "Save" to post it.

Bruce that is awesome, your friend must have been thrilled.

Tyrus, What a great looking meal, you are tempting me to do beef ribs.

Steve, that is a beautiful piece of work.

Aussie, your steak dinner is looking very tasty. Love a red t-shirt.

I thought Pequod should drive because he can bring his espresso machine and since he is the only one who knows how to operate it he'd be a good DD. Maybe you could just drink verrrrry slowly in the meantime.:)

Steve, don't you know you shouldn't drink alone, we'll be right there.

Thanks, Aussie. The whole belly was about 6kg. I cut it in half and froze a section.

Sliced the breakfast bacon this morning, packaged it and now it's in the freezer. Only one thing left, taste test tomorrow.:)

What a great party and I'm so glad you escaped the smoke police.

@Steve M, and you should smell my fridge.

@Flemming Wonderful, you're on.

I am waiting for the Profitec Pro 700 to land at my Canadian distributor's.

Breakfast bacon was smoked this afternoon, right now it's sitting outside cooling where the temp is just above freezing. I am hoping critters come along and steel it. Time to scrap off the cure. Ahhh, there is bacon under there. The magic tool for removing the spices, etc. a dough scraper. Smoking is done, used apple and cherry woods. The flip side. I think I'll do the slicing and packaging tomorrow.

Your wife did a fantastic job on the KK, I'd say she was batting 1000, does she drink coffee? Sure looks like an interesting machine.

You have gone all out with the attire and the dinner plate.

Things are looking goooooooooooood.

Looks lovely and I'm sure it tasted wonderful but just wait until you do the same cook on your new KK.

Tony, those are some great looking beers.

Thanks, Tony, I looked at corned beef but the packages looked terrible so I passed on them. I am looking forward to seeing your pastrami cook, I bet it will be tasty.

I have a few irons in the fire, used the smoking gun to add more smoke flavour to a previously KK cooked chicken. Also getting ready to smoke a pork belly tomorrow and made some mesophilic yogurt for the first time. Dinner is plated. This yogurt was made with Coffee cream, 18% fat. It's going to be my starter. My next batch is on now and I used whole milk, 3.25% fat. We'll what difference that makes. This yogurt is fermented at room temp. Bacon story tomorrow.

One of these days I'm going to do cheeseburgers so I figured I'd better make a batch of perfectly melting cheese. Start with some nice Castillo Cheddar Cheese, some Silk Chili pepper from Burlap & Barrel, also added some Aleppo pepper and then add the required sodium citrate.(14g for 380g cheese) Melted and poured it onto a silicon mat. When it cools I used a cookie cutter to make the patties. I have about 10 of these slices. Now when I melt these over burgers the fat will not separate from the cheese.

Lovely colour on that chicken.
