Damn!!!

 

I completely forgot about that.

 

The Afghan butchers near me often have fresh sheep testicles.

 

Made them half a dozen times.

 

I even have the long grill swords so they don't spin while grilling them.

 

I will make a call when they open and see if i can pick up half a dozen.

 

It is actually a testy and interesting dish.

Had to make a fresh batch of Sweet Onion Gravy for French Dipping this morning.

 

Threw in a lb. of Enoki mushrooms and some large Shiitakei mushrooms.

 

I did not want to rely only on powder chicken stock so I also threw in 3 turkey wings into stock.

 

Boiled it all for 3 hours.

 

Served the turkey wings to my daughter before I blended the gravy.

 

Tastes and looks gravy.

 

Bought the baguettes fresh from the baker's oven this morning.

 

I just need to grill the lamb chops and assemble the sandwiches

 

Oh....score three 50% discounted balls of otherwise expensive Italian cheese.

I think if you look in the mirror you will be taught something about yourself.

The caterer arrives at 4:00pm for today’s game. Well, kind of for the game. We are having our neighborhood Holiday party here tonight at 6:00pm. I was not consulted, but I don’t mind as I’ll be with the big screen and pool table in the basement. They know where to find me if they want to visit. The Bills flag flying on the front door is fair warning!

That would be a NO GO for me.

 

Strictly by invitation only for Bills games.

 

If you are NOT on the Guest List, book another time with my people.

Spare ribs, St. Louis style. Pork steaks.

Expand  

Mmmm, spare ribs and pork steaks, great choices. Love the spares over the baby backs. Well done Soj.

 

Just btw: lately, I've been going pure Memphis style...or close enough.

 

Custom dry rub (no sugar), 24h brine, initial oven-bake, then finish on grill 2h, cherry wood smoke. No sauce. Realize it's not for everyone....but, damn, the pork flavor really shines through!

I’ll have the basement to myself along with the few people who “get it.”  I have a reputation in the neighborhood, they say don’t go if you’re not really serious about the game. I’m just afraid of becoming the live entertainment if the game goes off the rails! 😂

You’ve said it perfectly. Memphis is the way I usually go. Like the dry rub better as, like you said, it lets you showcase the meat and the smoke better. I try to always add sauces on the side or do 50/50; half the racks completely dry, the others finished with wet. Only for the other point you stated, it is indeed not for everyone lol

 

Cherry wood is great, it’s become a staple in my smoking over the years. Absolutely one of the best for chicken and pork imo. 
 

With pork I like a 60/40 mix, cherry to apple or 50/50 cherry/pecan. 
chicken, my neighbor put me into a Red Oak & Hickory blend. Very interesting. 
 

Maple and Hickory blend was my go to for several years. 
 

Do you use just straight cherrywood or do you opt for a blend?

Holy smokes (pardon the pun) but you are definitely TBD BBQ king. Can't believe the beauty/nuance of those blends; we're gonna have a bromance!

 

So, just to reply:

(1) like you, I sometimes do/did 50/50 sauced; my ex-wife didn't like pure carnivore style... somehow I think that contributed to the divorce, lol. But my daughter likes 'em straight up. So, obviously, I've kept the latter over the former.

(2) Honestly, never blended smoke woods...great tip. For beef/lamb I use a touch of mesquite w charcoal or oak, as (to my palate) the flavor can overwhelm the meat.

 

Q on brother, you're my new hero (along w @HIT BY SPIKESof course)!
