Homemade sausage, lamb chops, turbo competition ribs (in Eggs Benedict), and bacon - OH MY!

Foghorn

So, we hosted Easter brunch at our house.  

Rubbed the ribs and lamb chops last night.

Put the ribs on at about 325 for 75 minutes.  Then wrapped them in foil with squeeze Parkay and brown sugar.  Cooked them 35 minutes that way.  Then took them out and glazed them.  Didn't realize I was low on honey to mix with the sauce until it was too late so we added some Log Cabin syrup to the sauce/honey mix for the glaze.  Then we pulled the ribs and pulled out the platesetter and seared the doublecut lamb chops (sorry no pics as we were multitasking at that point).  We moved the lamb chops into the offset smoker where we were also cooking bacon.  I sliced off some rib meat and gave it to my daughter to use on her eggs benedict and saved the rest to be served as, well, ribs.  (Note: in this process she made some homemade biscuits so 20stone doesn't have to breadshame me any more).  We made some patties out of the breakfast sausage from the product of one of the butchering sessions from one of the pigs we (@20stone, @caliking, @The Cen-Tex Smoker, @pigfisher) raised.  More details are here.

We cooked those on the egg - mostly indirect on some foil followed by a little sear on the grate.  They finished about the same time that the lamb chops hit 125 (they ended a perfect medium rare - sorry, no money shot) and the last of the bacon finished.  My wife made waffles.  Friends brought fruit.

We feasted.  Thanks for looking.

What more needs to be said brother Fog?

20stone

Crushed it!

Thanks @SGH.  As a previous double seal winner I wondered if I was still eligible.  Especially after you ignored my post from a few weeks ago that was even more of a tour de force.

Feasting like a king.  Great cooks and food.

Foghorn

I was thinking that we feasted like @bgebrent.  

bgebrent

LOL.

caliking

All I have to say is...

’MURICA!!!

Foghorn

Thanks @caliking.  It was good to have both kids home and helping out.  The whole family worked hard to make this happen.

The eggs benedict look fantastic. And mad props to whoever did the fruit bunny. 

Smokeydawg

Wow! What an Easter feast! Looks great!

@caliking, our friends who helped us out last year in Salado did the fruit bunny.  And my daughter has become quite the indoor cook.

Thanks for the kind words @Smokeydawg.

Brother Fog, I assure you that I did not ignore you my friend. Looking at the post date I was still offshore with limited access to the internet. There was a 3 month period where I just could not comment. For the most part, I could not even get on the internet.  

YukonRon

Jesus.
I meant that in the best way possible.

Foghorn

Understood @SGH.  We're glad to have you back.

Thank you very much @YukonRon, I'll take it that way. 

Theophan

Every BIT of that looks fantastic!

Foghorn

Thank you very much @Theophan.
