Today was pretty much wake up, caffeiniate, cook breakfast (best scrapple I've ever had BTW from Martin's Custom Butcher Shop in New Holland, PA), clean up, drive home, unload truck, shower, put stuff away, and then sit on the couch. That Phillies win in extra innings was fun to watch.

Enough with the words, here's pics. I'm going to upload these in random Vanilla order.

@DMW - your pictures are making me hungry and homesick at the same time. One of my Aunts lived in Nazareth, Pa and used to send me scrapple from her favorite butcher shop there. Usually a half pan packed with dry ice and some of her home made jelly from her garden. Ever tried molasses on scrapple?

Here’s something I havent thought of before.  Maybe I can bring some up for the next butt blast.

Im trying to find my post about LeBron going to LA.  I had a few too many, so maybe unforgettable to hit the „Post“ button.   Can’t imagine the Buffalo visited so soon.

@SamIAm2 - I have not tried molasses on scrapple, however syrup is also common around here. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks.

If those chickens saw what happened to that lamb......they would be back in that coup hunkered down.

I plan on dropping another $6M for renovations to make it ours.

Also, good to hear you are keeping your current place. This one is really too small to live in comfortably full time.

I remember seeing it. I didn't click on it, because I didn't really care, since he didn't come to Philadelphia.

We are looking to upgrade our lake place too.

The thread was initially "sunk" yesterday and then received the true "Buffalo"  vanish sentence sometime later.  Guess the Buffalo is a World Cup fan

It was the 17" turn to be sanded down and finished with 320 grit.

Brought it up to my parents this morning. I made crepes for my Mom's birthday with bloody Mary's

@Sea2Ski, a buff orp, a leghorn or three? What else do you have?

@jeffwit just a small backyard flock. A buff orp, a few black sexlink, Sicilian buttercups, and cuckoo marans. Just enough to have enough eyes for the predators and give me more eggs that I need.  Love the insect control they provide as a bonus. No ticks in the yard.

@DMW that was a boatload of great looking grub there.  Damnnnn.........!!!!!

Loaded up the Jeep with some toys...

Had a nice, peaceful paddle in the intercoastal this morning.

Just cut into my Bresola. Did not feel like pulling out the slicer for a few slices. Not bad, but too salty. And I know what I did wrong, so I am kicking myself. But I will eat it all.

That's a hobby I've been meaning to get into. Bought Ruhlman's 2 books but haven't found time to devote to it yet.

Looks great none the less @Sea2Ski

Looks killer though. I’ll tell you, I usually do prosciutto, capicola, or salami wrapped aspragus as an app. I bet some of your thin sliced bresola around asparagus on the BGE would be awesome

Thanks @DoubleEgger This one I took to the next level and distilled a cup of good red wine down to 1/3 cup and added that with the cure and other spices.  Flavor is great, and I am surprised how much I can taste the wine, but the salt is overpowering. It will be redone with the correct salt measurement next time, and I think I will be happy. But I will "suffer" through this one with some fruit and cheese. Maybe if I slice thinner, it will be better as well.

@Sea2Ski looks beautiful.   mine came out a tad salty.  my problem was with the low humidity in the house.  I had that problem and SWMBO whining about the weird meats hanging in the kitchen, esp the pancetta which would occasionally drip fat.

It’s inspiring. I need to get off my butt and give that a whirl. The Italian wifey loves a meat and cheese tray.

@SonVolt careful...  it gets addictive, and I am really just getting started. Only been doing it 2 years and learn a ton each time I do one.  I always have something in rotation....
