Moments
Caught a perfect day to smoke some Pastrami.
Sun came out for a nice early fall day. Got to hang out with two dogs and smoke some nice meat for the family.
Cured this one a little too long and it was a little too lean for a brisket so it didn’t turn out as tender as I’d liked it to be. Still delicious though.
Almost forgot to post my annual meat pic.
Cured and dried beef made using a local recipe (folks ’round here call it Nagelholz).
Conditions weren’t too good, leading to an uneven drying process, but results are still decent.
It’s ham season!
About three weeks until this bad boi is cured and dried.
Long time no bake! Sporting some of my home-smoked ham 😊
Made delicious pan pizza tonight.
24 hours cold ferment. Provolone cheese for a rich smokey flavor and french salami for salty goodness.
Soul food after an exhausting week.
Made some pizza with home-made pistachio cream.
Excellent stuff! 🤌
Pizza time.
6 hours later…
Smoking ribs for the lads. Its a sunny day, I’ve got nothing to do, my best buddy is with me, let’s go!
What a shit week. Let’s kick off the weekend with some home-made pizza 🍕
Took a 3 week break in December. I’ve been doing that for the past few years and it’s been incredibly refreshing.
This year I took the opportunity to make my first home-made ham (Ham’s hams!). 4 weeks of curing, drying, smoking, and resting.
Really proud of the outcome for a first attempt.
