https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Connery I think he was the best 007. Sometimes, you just can't replace the original. Dinner tonight was reheated pork ribs originally done on the smoker. Not as good as the first night, but still pretty darn good. The kitchen still smells like...

Avast, ye mateys. It's national rum day! https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/national-rum-day-history-original-name It's summertime here, so gin & tonic is the preferred drink, at least for me. Dinner was bone-in chicken thighs on the smoker, potato salad, garden salad.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Child Sadly, I'll never be able to come anywhere near her cooking standards. Our dinner tonight of grilled cheeseburgers and oven fries proves that.

According to the article, South Jersey calls them creamsicles. https://catcountry1073.com/how-south-jersey-should-celebrate-national-creamsicle-day/ Are they called something else in North Jersey (like the Taylor Pork naming controversy)? Bucky? Casey? Dinner here will be...

It's National Prosecco Day! https://www.newsweek.com/national-prosecco-day-sparkling-wine-bottles-1454045 I think we have a bottle in the wine fridge. I'll see if Mrs. T wants to indulge today. Thundershowers are in the forecast, so it's an indoor cook tonight. Chicken...

https://www.mandatory.com/living/1521941-national-ipa-day-facts#1 I cut the lawn this afternoon, and with temps in the 80's, I celebrated with a cold IPA afterwards. Tonight's dinner will be a sous vide boneless ribeye, with sides of pasta salad and a house salad. I cobbled...

I'm looking at ways to smoke 2 racks of ribs on my Weber kettle with the Slow N Sear. The Slow N Sear takes up a little less than half of the kettle, and smoking is done on the remaining cooler side of the kettle. My options are a rib rack, where the rack of ribs stands on end in the rack, and...

That's the New England Accent. Dinner was St. Louis ribs (with Meathead's Memphis dust) on the Slow N Sear on the Weber kettle, Bush's grillin beans enhanced with bacon, cole slaw. Ribs were wonderful, with a good smoky bark, and I'm amazed that the Slow N Sear kept a temperature in a 3...

Easy dinner of lobster, steamers, cole slaw, and a small loaf of DO bread I pulled out of the freezer. When I went to the lobster pound to pick up dinner, there was a group of tourists in front of me that must be planning to gorge themselves on lobster. Ten select lobsters (a select is 2...

First use of my sous vide circulator. One inch thick strip steaks, and then seared them on the gas grill. They were OK, but not what I expected. Now I understand why the recommendations are for thicker steaks, and searing them in a CI skillet. It's all my fault...

Meathead says you can make medium rare burgers safe as long as you pasteurize the meat before grinding. I've never heard of this before. Does anyone do this? Mrs. Meathead is a Phd food scientist, so I assume this is good information, and it does make sense...

I'm making a dry run with the Slow n Sear today, getting a feel for it before I put any meat on it. I started it 7 - 1/2 hours ago, and here's my observations so far. Initially it started to run a little hot, and I had to have the vents almost completely closed to maintain 260 - 270...
