OT - What are you doing right now?

Howdy footie fans,  we’re inching towards denouement.  Last weekend’s results did little to upset the orthodoxy and - plot spoiler, I doubt this weekend’s fixtures suggest much tumult either. 

Saturday;

Leicester v Leeds, notable because the visitors hit eject on their Bielsa-ball experiment and have welcomed new manager Jesse Marsch.  He’s from the US of A and so you’ll undoubtedly  know him from school or around the village pump.  Don’t see much change in fortunes though with the hit and miss Foxes keeping all three points. 2-0

Aston Villa v Southampton, a game lacking much purpose or merit - is not what the trailers say on TV, but let’s be honest it barely registers.  Villa need a few more points across 13 games to be safe and Saints more for less are already.  One point and one goal each, 1-1.

Burnley v Chelsea, not sure who’s had the worse week.  The hosts lost momentum with a chastening defeat to keep them in the mire,  the visitors are subject to a sanction busting fire sale.  Quality prevails, 0-1

Newcastle v Brighton, the Filthy Seagulls being on a losing run should cheer me but the rise of Toon has slaked that.  Home win and clean sheet as the visitors have forgotten why there is a net hanging off the goal frame. 2-0

Norwich v Brentford, must win for both teams but I think the Canaries have the form to take this.  Ultimately it might be in vain for them but keeping the Bees in the relegation vortex will offer some hope of escape. 1-0

Wolves v Palace, despite back to back defeats the hosts are just too well drilled for Palace to break down,  we need open and expansive opposition to deploy our talents.  Wolves simply won’t oblige.  We’ll do well to draw 0-0 but I see a 0-1 as inevitable. 

Liverpool v West Ham, the Reds are in hot form and the Hammers, whilst buoyed by strong results earlier in the season, are feeling the pressure.  Big Jurgy has his eyes on the big prize again and winning this is the fillip his team and supporters need in order to believe. 2-0

Stoke v Blackpool, the Potters came a close second against Palace in a moribund, water logged FA cup match this week.  With dreams of Wembley gone it’s just mid-table respectability left on the menu.  A form reversing win is within grasp, 2-1.

Sunday;

Watford v Arsenal,  desperate times for the Hornets (Yay!) and I don’t see this as anything more than an exercise in patience for the Gunners to ease to victory.  Roy has tightened Watford’s defence but his contained style and having little in attacking talent make for a gloomy portent. 0-3

City v Utd , the Manchester derby. Maybe the heightened atmosphere will energise the Red half and force together a semblance of cohesion - probably won’t.  The big game players will step up for them but City are just better. 2-1

Monday;

Spurs v Everton, battle of the weird.  Spurs are being very Spursy at the moment.  Neither Arthur nor Martha.  Super Frank’s Toffees are all at sea as well.   Their habitual 7th place is way out of reach and so you must prepare for birds to fly backwards and beasts run from the forest.  By coincidence Spurs are 7th.  Fun fact there.  Lots of huff, puff, missed passes and anxiety. 1-0 but other results keep Everton out out the drop zone. 

In more exciting news,  lump is going on the Egg later for smash burgers tonight in parallel with a bulk cook of bacon and sausages.  Therefore, I win. 

As usual, your prognostications are perfect.  Please keep them coming on a weekly basis.  I can only hope that I'll be able to retire before this season ends based on your insider information leading to continued large sums of gambling income.

Ed already has the combined wealth of Ron and SGH.

It’s too bad with all of that money he doesn’t seem to know what bacon is.  He must have people that do the shopping and cooking for him, save for the occasional grilling glory shot.

Ah, the old "Raichlin" bait and switch.

9 pound, 7 ounce pork butt. Biggest I've ever done. What a beast!

Coated with SPG 4 hours beforehand, then wrapped and returned to refrigerator. Added a heavy coat of Dizzy Pig Crossroads just before the cook.

One each fist-sized cherry and pecan chunk at the bottom of KAB and a few smaller pieces mixed around in the Rockwood.

Indirect for almost 16 hours @ 225 - 250 degrees. 

FTC - 2 hours.

Result was moist and delicious, but that was a long cook.





Baked beans with onions and bacon, plus Kosmos Original Competition BBQ sauce on the side.

@lkapigian - I have no idea what that opening dish is but I would inhale it and enjoy all in the smoker as well.

I like cooking a single sausage as the egg gets up to speed. Slice it up and serve with jalapeño mustard. Keeps the family at bay.

But the post-game tribute was solid. I too am surprised by the outcome.

Pressure washed the table.  Cutting, gluing, laser info and generally enjoying the shop.

Juiced ~125 lemons, made 2.3 gallons of fresh lemon juice.  All bagged and put in freezer.

Set aside some of the juice and made a lemon meringue pie for my wife's grandmother, whose tree provided all the lemons.

Made an lemon icebox pie while I was at it.  Second go around with both these pies was much less intimidating.  No time for pictures.  I am ready for a bourbon.

Took a quick snap before I pulled pie out.

Look up a Lemon Drop Martini.

Made another pie this morning.  Getting lots of requests for lemon meringue pies.  Need to figure out how to get the nice darker peaks.  Will also start making more meringue, I think a real thick tall meringue layer presents better.

Do you have one of those little hand torches that people use to make creme brulee and whatnot?  I'd think something like that could be used to give you the effects you want.

Yes I do, and I use it for creme brulee.  That is a great idea.  I have some other things to dial in too.

Here is the pie from last night.  Ignore the non-traditional graham cracker crust.

I screwed up the measurement on one of the three Festool MFT/3 bench tops.  Glued a piece on and it’s as good as new.

Grabbed some new seasoning at ACE today. Hopefully it is good on the steak.

I feel like I owe you one - great beer choice there.
