  1. No it doesn't, Bruce. It is vacuumed sealed and that keeps your fingers off it, no problem.[emoji4]Remember smoking is a method of food preservation so the vacuumed sealed cheese will keep for a long time.
  2. I’ve got some cheddar in the fridge that I smoked last January and it’s tasting amazing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I totally agree, I really must age. I bet that batch you have in the fridge now tastes wonderful.[emoji4]
  3. Went to the Sat. market to pick up a pork belly and some eggs. The vendor gave me a couple of these. I had no idea what they were until he told me. The bacon is on to cure and later this coming week I'll smoke it. In the meantime I just had to try the turkey egg. The shell was hard almost had to hit it with the cleaver. I really couldn't tell the difference when it was cracked open in appearance or flavour after cooking it. It was neat experience.
  4. Aussie, those are beautiful ribs and they sound delicious.:)
  5. Aussie, dinner sure is looking very tasty.[emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]
  6. Thanks, Tony. Bruce, my jar says it will keep 24 months and after opening keep it in the fridge.
  7. How did you use them in mashed potatoes?
  8. Funny how there is something so appealing about those crate labels.[emoji4]
  9. Well Bruce, we'll just say it had beans.
  10. I have friend that likes his chili over rice and I'm pretty sure it is chili with beans, it is his wife that gave me the beans and she grew them for chili. That recipe you post sounds verrrry good too, thanks.:)
  11. No, but I am game, thanks.
  12. Beans, that is the reason to make chili.[emoji1][emoji1][emoji1]

    Chili

    Some organic red kidney beans grown by a friend. Did an overnight soak started with boiling water and 1 t baking soda. In the morning did a water change and boiled the beans for about 15 mins to get rid of the bean poison. Changed the water and they are ready to go into the chili. Plated and added some shaved smoked cheese. Just after lunch my order of organic black garlic arrived. I wish it had come an hour earlier. Nice taste and texture, it is very moist and a little sticky.:)
  14. I didn’t see you Komodo Kamado sign, is it still there? Bruce, oh yes, my sign is still there. You can just see it at top left of Pix # 2.[emoji41]
  15. We are very likely to get snow in the next few days or so. I thought while the sun is out I'd better finish the preparations. First thing I did was get "Little Barbie" out. The first winter I had the ODK we had a huge storm in Nov. That sent me to the store as soon as the roads opened up to get something to clear the deck off. I had done my research and knew what I wanted. As I came to the counter along with a whole bunch of guys buying their big gas snow blowers I could see the smiles as they looked at my selection.No matter, undeterred I paid and headed home. Since then we have had several blizzards and never once has Little Barbie let me down. Now I'm the one with the big smile. That thing can throw snow. Next thing is to get the Sunbrella shades up to keep the snow off everything. It is easy to get at both KKs when needed. Let it snow, let it snow.
  16. Tony, at least you had the benefit of a pie crust, if I hadn't been so late doing that bake I would have put a crust on top.
  17. Aussie, that is fantastic, you are going to have so much fun. I'm not sure you will have enough hours in the day but I do think you will have fun trying to find them.
  18. I made a chicken pie using chicken from previously KK chicken cooks. This is reason enough to bake a chicken on the KK for me.
  19. And I bet it tasted fantastic.[emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]
  20. Tony, that is a new one on me and I'd like to keep it that way.[emoji4]
  21. Shuley, dinner is looking very gooood. I'll say you are getting good at making pies, what kind is this one.:)
  22. Thanks, Bruce but you give me too much credit on that sandwich. Making rye bread is on the to do list though.
  23. Tonight's dinner, the pastrami I made a few weeks ago has made another appearance.
  24. Yes, Bruce all packaged up and just mellowing out in the fridge for several weeks or months, some will go for gifts.
