    @SciAggie you too put out some amazing food. It’s funny how my friends and family think I’m a good cook, yet if they saw the stuff you guys post on here they would laugh at what I cook. 

    I stumbled upon this thread earlier. Worth a quick look at the great food posted by you and others.

    Her threads were epic.  Every single one a home run.  

    Unfortunately the fact that her blog is no longer active makes me fear the worst.

    @SciAggie I ran across some oxtail in the freezer and thought man @Smokingal would know what to do with that. And turn it into $40 a plate meal

    Agree 1000%. No offense to the rest of you, but she was in a league of her own. 

    Too bad she was ultimately pushed out.

    @WeberWho We have enjoyed our raised beds. I bet you will enjoy your garden as well.
    Coleman, Texas
    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
    "Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    Thanks! @SciAggie

    When purchasing our house we had a short conversation with the previous homeowners. During that conversation they mentioned that they hoped we weren't gardeners. They said the soil was super sandy and we wouldn't have any luck. So we never gave it much of a thought. I had no idea my neighbor across the street had a garden behind his house. He started one 3-4 years ago and it has really took off. He really pushed us to start one. He said he wished he would have started one when he was younger. So we're going to try the no till method. My neighbor has had really good luck with this particular method. I'm a little worried about how the garden is going to go next year with with Asian beetles. Only one way to find out I guess....

    @WeberWho We didn't know anything when we started - and still don't know much. As far as sandy soil goes - my FIL had a HUGE (think 1/3 acre) garden. It is in the sandiest soil you can imagine. He did spend years adding organics to the soil, but the point is you can do it. He was a wonderful gardener.

    Ever tried mayo instead of butter when toasting bun/bread for burger or grilled cheese?  I find mayo gives a nice golden color and crisp texture.

    No, but I recall you saying that.  I'll have to give it a shot.  I had to run to the store yesterday as we were out of butter.

    Do you have the Instant Pot cookbook by Urvashi Pitre? If not, do yourself a MASSIVE favour and buy now.

    The cafeteria lady in elementary school always used mayo on the grilled cheese.

    I use Mayo when making grilled cheese sandwiches. I agree, it is the best.

    To an extent. I suggest piling hardwood leaves on it, leaving them over the winter, and then tilling them in in the spring. Old sweepings from a horse stable are also good

    Special Delivery 

    Great score.  You will enjoy.  Should you get sucked into the Heartbrand vortex and want to grab a brisket, give their's a go with the free shipping deal whenever it surfaces.
    My shipment arrived today as well but only had a brisket (12.1 lbs), hanger steak and flat iron.  First time venturing off the brisket path but looking forward to it all.  
    Gotta love the 2 day air shipping.  And the three letter shipping company performance as well. The one with the worldport in L'ville.  About the best thing we've got going in flyover country!  B)
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.
