Typical Sunday at the ranch. I processed two 20 lb boxes of Santa Cruz dry farmed Early Girl tomatoes into Sicilian estrattu (paste) overnight, still working in the dehydrator I built. Shown is what's left of one box after 24 hours, more than it looks on a full sheet pan. This morning I picked up 15 lbs each of chicken bones and vegetables for stock, filling a 22 quart commercial pot to the brim. Oh, dinner, right. A pheasant in the KK.

Nice cooks Mac!  Here had a nice evening, rediscovering the fun of cooking on my Brawny Bambino aka 16TT. 

Started with homegrown sweetcorn, cooked in their husks.

It was super delicious.  No seasoning or butter.  Just naked out of the husk.

Then I blackened some peppers for a pepper pesto that I'll be making tomorrow. The human scale of the 16 is great, I just turned the peppers with my fingers.

And now for a sight that Mac will hate.  My dry ager is full of fish. Salt cod from Spain and, at the bottom, tonight's dinner. Rainbow trout fillets left in for half a day to dry the skin out.

The fish was basted with a soy sauce and mirin mixture and the finished product reminded me of a less intense version of the grilled eel that the Japanese serve.  Yum.

Tried my hand at a focaccia. Veggies & herbs with a dusting of parm. Another reminder of why I don't like to bake! Dough proofed overnight and was very wet and sticky. I probably added another cup of AP flour during the kneading and it was still a PITA to work with.

On the KK at 350F for an hour. It picked up quite a bit of smoke - you'd have thought that there was bacon on it - ha, ha!

Despite the stubbornness of the dough, it came out pretty good!

I have a quite full proof focaccia recipe, but it’s really wet. But since it’s essentially without kneading (just folding), it’s not an issue. Your result seems very nice

My local butcher started selling these pre-formed Wagyu brisket cheeseburgers. I bought some a few weeks ago for a little party my wife had and everyone was raving about them. I was too busy to take pics that time but tonight I picked up a few for my family 

put a little Montreal steak seasoning on the patties, grilled with some mesquite wood, brioche bun, romaine lettuce, tomato. Pretty good burger 

frozen sweet potato crust cut fries & ceased salad

Did my second pork butt on the KK today, excellent results. Super moist without any need for water bin or spritzing (spritzed once after 5 hours). 

Was a big boy - 10 lbs easily post trimming, put it on at 6am, mostly cooked around 250ish, wrapped at 2 and cranked up to 265, done at 430 just in time to rest for 30 mins before fantasy football draft/poker night. Made a simple vinegar sauce to pair and my wife made a nice coleslaw. 

Pics below of finished product and a peek right before wrapping. Bark ended up solidly black though a little soft with the texas crutch. Just didn’t have time to ride out stall which didn’t hit until 175ish.
