Someone has to have the sun and it might as well be you.

I did go to the market yesterday so no poaching eggs before going. Did poach this morning though. It is getting more easy after doing probably 6 times. Today I tied a knot in the Saran wrap first then wrapped my string around it. This will give me more control of the bag in the water. I am afraid that if the bag stays against the sides of the hot pot it might start to melt. I the Saran wrap is big enough one can tie a knot in it as I did here then I tied the string around it. BTW I can use the string over and over. Into the water we go. Plated. After 4.5 mins and a couple of minutes on the counter while drying off the bag and removing the string.

5698, that pork butt looks perfect, fantastic colour and I bet it will taste even more so.

LOL., Bruce I'll read your posts wherever they appear.

That weather is certainly not conducive to outdoor cooking. You plan sounds Super delicious.:)

Tekobo, I guess I need to be faster at getting my request in. I did wonder if it would taste differently if sliced thin. It's great that all that work paid off.

tony, have you done chicken drumsticks in the air fryer before? I bought a whole bunch today and I should give the air fyer a whirl. How do you do them in the air fryer?

Tekobo, I have been thinking this over,(So you know there is a dangerous idea coming.) and I figure that if you do 2 or better yet 3 paper thin slices and put it in an air mail envelope that I would be able to have a taste. It is the perfect season for it to arrive safely.

Tyrus, guess I'll stay home in that case.

FotonDrv, that was a very interesting read, thanks for posting it. I love your friends sense of humour.:)

Tyrus, I would just put it in the KK without doing anything to the outside of the pot. Don't forget to season it before you use it.;)

Tekobo, wow, it looks wonderful. At least you have more geese to try the new recipe. When you had it in Italy was it sliced the same thickness as like you did? I think I'd just love to sit down to that lunch.

Very tasty wings and I see you are raising the young one properly.[emoji4]

LOL

Today I decided to do another attempt to bake my regular pumpkin/sunflower seed sourdough bread in a Dutch Oven. I wasn't happy with the oven spring in my last one, although the bread tasted fine. This time I made sure the dough ball was tight when I put it on to proof. Here it is ready for the oven. While I was waiting for the bread to bake I needed quick lunch. Remember that carrot/onion pizza I made this fall? Warmed up and ready to eat. Bread is just out of the oven. It is all over but the singing. And how it did sing. I love love that sound. The crumb shot.

What a bummer, Eddie mac. :(:(:( It will get sorted and you will be awe struck when you do see it.

I found that for my size of egg a good time is 4.5 mins. I started tying mine with string and kept the ends long enough so that I could hang the bag over a stick across the top of the pot. One knot is enough , it won't come loose. If I don't go to the market tomorrow I'll try to take pixs showing the setup.

Eddie mac, I have been wanting an outdoor oven since forever but don't see it happening. There is just so much of the year that I wouldn't be able to use it.

Eddie mac, talk about great outdoor cooking tools.

I do think that you could figure out a way to hang the breasts for the next time you do this cook. Using some SS rods to make a hanging rack that will fit inside the KK would be in my first plan.

Tekobo, I am so sorry you are having trouble with the Meater. I do not have one and sorry to say that I can't offer any help. When I smoke my bacon I just lay it on the grates and granted there are grill marks that don't get any smoke. Do you have another thermometer probe unit that you can use?

Aussie, gotta love those grandmothers, my Mum's Mum was a good cook also. Guess that's where my Mum got it.[emoji4]

I'll drink to that.

It is funny you say that Bruce because I have always eaten well, thanks to my Mother. The funny thing is that I didn't realize it until I left home. I thought everyone ate the way we did and it was just the way it was. LOL I can still remember when I found out differently. That was when I realized what a fantastic cook my mother was.

Nice fresh market eggs, good stuff.
