All ya'll trippin' !!! ps: I see them, too. Must be the tequila!

Love me some Dizzy Dust! My favorite rub for ribs. My pantry shelf is loaded with Dizzy Pig rubs! Have fun playing with them, Cookie!

Wilbur, you've GOT to get one of these pumps!! I just did my Christmas duck with it. Works crazy good! Blew up like a balloon. And the thing is a lot cheaper than an air compressor! http://www.amazon.com/AIRHEAD-AHP-F1-Bellow-Foot-Pump/dp/B000FE9CGE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1446650912&sr=8-3&keywords=foot+pump+for+inflatables

Nicely done, Bosco! Hair of the dog, son, hair of the dog!!

Mostly rain in our forecast, but a slight chance for some snow Christmas Eve. As long as it doesn't interfere with my Christmas day cook.

Just across the border in Vermont, MacKenzie. You could do a road trip and stock up.

Was just in Minneapolis for the weekend with family. Even they don't have any snow and aren't predicted to have a White Christmas either!

Seriously funny! Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.

Awesome! Have never tried to do a souffle on the KK. (Love how that rhymes!)

Definitely Herbes de Provence. I probably used that herb blend at least twice as much as anything else in my pantry! My default "go to" if I'm in doubt about how to season something! Ken, bud, you need to brush up on your Francais, mon ami!

De Nada - It's what we do here!

Intrigued by the "warm ageing" post! Hmmm?

Oh, Hey-Yall, Yeah!! Overnight brine in buttermilk and Frank's hot sauce, into the SV bath, then seasoned flour dredge and fry. MONEY!

Well, over the last month, I've hit up 2 Trader Joe's - one in Minneapolis and one in Chicago - no Porchettas!!! They have something labeled "Porchetta" but it's only a pork loin roast wrapped in bacon - NOT the same thing! Seriously Bummed!

Thanks and hugs, PRippley! Happy Holidays, everyone!

Nice job, Bosco! Killer pies! I'm a big fan of using parchment paper for pizza. I typically pull the paper off the pizza after about 5 minutes on the stone. YMMV

Nor is shrimp! While I understand the historical (hysterical??) propaganda against "undercooked" pork, there is absolutely nothing to fear. If you'll eat rare/medium rare beef, you should have no qualms about eating pork cooked the same way. It's perfectly safe. I ALWAYS cook my pork chops to medium rare. Tender, juicy = perfect!!!

Sounds perfect to cook Sous Vide! My local butcher often has bison, except when one of the local farm-to-table restaurants wants all he has for a weekend special!

Not the baker that MacKenzie is (we're not worthy! ), but the flour can often make a difference. I'm a King Arthur flour fan. I have pizza flour, pasta flour, and bread flour in addition to the AP everyday flour.

That would be if you'd died and gone to HELL!

Damn, another Amazon box to get rid of.

Thanks for having my back, Charles. Nice looking spuds. Good one, MacKenzie. Great minds / cooks think a like. I agree that we need to add something to counter that malty sweetness. My vote is for roasted garlic, sour cream and boursin cheese.
