    Chubby,[p]Do you reuse your brine? If so, do you boil it before putting it away?

    BabyBoomBBQ,[p]Sometimes I do reuse ....(boil hard for 3-4 minutes and refrigerate).[p]Sometimes...I boil... add some cream, or butter, or more Knob Creek and reduce for a pan sauce.[p]Small amounts I usually pitch.[p]Evans

    Chubby,
    i would have no problems measuring out the knobb creek for the brine, but using 1/3 cup raging river would break my heart for 2 chops, those do look good though.

    you can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it

    Chubby,
    There you go using wierd words again. You had to look that one up, didn't you?... "Porcine". The definition I saw was
    "resembling a swine or pig...a bald, porcine old man".[p]This is this some sort of subliminal character assasination aimed at me, isn't it? You dog, you![p]Great looking chops, BTW![p]Lawn "plump and shiny" Ranger

    Chubby,
    I'm actually fear that I'm beginning to understand the way you think, and I'm sure that there's a law against it in most states.[p]Mike[p]

    <p />Chubby,
    Great, I can't wait to see you guys. Are you cooking, I have my menu set.
    Remember I do own a car wash. 5 days of rain really doesn't help the bottom line. Maybe a good weekend.
    It would be good for all of us to get away for awhile.[p]Mike
    I feel OK needs magical fruit.

    Chubby,[p]Sooooooo . . . . how were they?? Could you notice an interior flavor with only 2 hours of brining? I've only brined once and it was chicken breasts and I did it WAY too long - just wondering if this 2 hour time did you right.[p]And, come on, I mean, these pics are amazing as usual, but where's that macro cross-sectional shot with juices going everywhere??[p]Great job (again) and cheers,[p]TRex
