Sport grilled a Ribeye
family gone for the night and I’m traveling for work next week so had to grill a ribeye from a 2 pack I nabbed earlier this week.
Y’all may laugh but since I was sport grilling I went outside the wire. Used HEB’s rib rub and then used HEB’s finishing butter (garlic herb). Ok, legitimately good IMO.
I should clarify, I “sport grill” every now and again It’s pretty much an experimentation and if it eats-great Notice the paper plate and the pocket knife-zero expectations Ha This worked though

Re: OT - What are you doing right now?
Finally picked my pup out today. Spent about 2.5 hrs watching interactions with littermates and getting to chase the bird wings, watching reactions to loud noises etc.. This was the best of the males and also the birdiest. He was the only one picking up and carrying the quail. He’s also the only one that would consistently come to me vs go off on his own tangent

DECLASSIFIED FOR UNLIMITED RELEASE: THE TRUE STORY OF WHAT HAPPENED TO JIC
OK I have had some time to gather more intel. Full disclosure, I am a member of the "cabal" of Eggheads who all talk over text and coordinate targeted troll strikes when the need arises. Think of it as a kind of BGE Skull and Chicken Bones. Or the Gravy Seals, as we're known in Texas. I will trust you all with this info and not to reveal it to anyone. Sure you might laugh at those names but nobody was laughing when the pictures of someone's sister's backside dropped on a Friday night. I still get the night sweats from that. Shiver!
Anywhoooo... I digress! As many people know, the forum was down for a couple of days earlier this week. If you tried to load the website all you saw was a 503 maintenance message that told you to wait a couple of minutes.
But those minutes were turning into hours. And then hours turned into days. The sort of long days I last experienced back in Nam lying down in the grass on long range reconnaissance patrol. Something was clearly just not right. This smelled bad, like that brisket you'd been wet aging in your fridge for months that had blown up into a balloon and you made the mistake of opening inside your kitchen.
Well by Wednesday things were getting heated. The forum denizens were getting angry that day my friends. It seemed like something basic just needed to be done, like rebooting the server or installing a patch. Who would know? The mods! Someone reached out to JIC and since he had been in touch with Rob over the years from coordinating fundraisers for Operation BBQ relief and whatnot, he offered to reach out and ask WTF was going on.
So JIC did that, and the word on the street is that Rob got back to him right away and an hour later the forum was right back up. Somewhere in the middle of that JIC may have hinted that this is the sort of thing that happens when "the aholes in charge are asleep at the wheel" or words to that effect. Maybe it wasn't stated so explicitly but it was definitely implied at least. I would suggest to you that based on what we have seen with the forum back and no real changes that would substantiate a major overhaul justifying a multi-day outage, that the man was right. He may be wrong about a lot of things (I have always wondered about his tales of appearing in porn movies) but on this score, the man knew what he was talking about.
So instead of ruining the forum, JIC sacrificed himself to save it. Or at least, that is the story I am going to tell my grandchildren. May his legend in these threads live on through the members who remain. Or perhaps through one of the many troll accounts he allegedly controls, even though they are all mine Nola's...
If some of you want to quickly print this out so that you can save it for posterity before this thread gets destroyed (and likely this account along with it) by all means go ahead and do that. I would just ask that you print it on toilet paper so that you don't clog up the pipes when you eventually dispose of it. Some of you live in old homes and I'd hate to see that happen.

Re: What Are You Chef-ing Tonight, Dr?
Wedding anniversary celebration, last night.
Not the highlight of the day, because that would be my astonishment that I have completed another circuit of the sun married. Don't get me wrong, I import no jeopardy to the relationship - a stark contrast to the liberal absent mindedness about the wedding vows that is the hallmark for my former profession.
My summation of how this union has prevailed is that she is now through the mild curiosity stage, that itself replaced the quickly evaporated hope & excitement, and is now approaching it like a pained marathon runner who won't be defeated. I admire her for that but I will have to confess that no medal exists.
Nonetheless, look at this bad boy;
3lbs of ex-diary cow, dry aged and very much on the bone.
Generous SPG coating then direct for about 30 mins. I started at a dome temp up towards 500F, more or less shut all the vents and let it ride.
Pulled when the centre read about 130F.
On reflection could have gone a tad further, but there was good fat render. Is the charred fat anyone else's guilty pleasure?
Gave it 30 minutes of uncovered rest. The kitchen was up about mid-80's F, we're having a heatwave - wonder if that has an effect? If only there was a professor of material science on the forum who could advise me?
