What Will You Be Egging During the Coronapocalypse?

Nice looking brisket.   Thanks to @dmw for the tips and look at that smoke ring, @lousubcap

lousubcap

@thetrim Celery seed for the ring??  She's a beaut right there.  Nailed the bark as well. Congrats.

I thought you Brits were supposed to be fun...

I've never cooked a pork belly so I've got nothing for you within the very limited scope that you are allowing.  It's a real shame because the only thing I'm pretty sure about is that if I were going to cook this I'd plan to wear the jersey of my favorite soccer team so as to optimize the chances of a good outcome.  Pants are optional.  You're welcome.

Because I like you @Foghorn I have dressed as requested.  This doesn't mean I am your plaything.   Further requests might require wine. 

I am sure you will be thrilled to see that I am observing strict corona-rules and using the only know substance impervious to the virus,  other than @nolaegghead at 0300hrs.  

Couple of bits of admin while I'm on;
1) Football not soccer
2) Shirt not jersey
3) Pants on, as are my shorts.   I selected today's pair from the 'weekend, recreational' side of undergarment drawer B.   Since you asked, yes - I follow the standard convention;  Drawer A; formal & business  Drawer B; informal & recreational  Drawer C; seasonal & 'humorous'.    I am not a savage. 
4) football kit,  not uniform - I know you didn't say that, but just FYI.
I really do know how to win friends, right? 




Yes, I am now 2 months overdue a haircut.  I waited too long, should have clipped sooner.  Now look like Ron Burgundy.

I think we won the right to decide what things are called after the Surrender at Yorktown in 1781 pal. 😉

Ha!

I get it. You’re a young country finding your feet and all that. It’s ok to push the boundaries a bit, we all did it.  

But just remember - we have deployed Agent Harry (& Megan),  they can be activated at any time.

Well I have a turkey defrosting which should be ready late in the week. I will probably spatchcock this one. I might use that new Wonderbird rub that I got last week from Dizzy Pig.

Just a small 4 pounder.

@lousubcap and @dmw I cannot tell a lie.  That was a brisket from Snow's BBQ in Lexington, TX.  My brother sent a care package from there and this brisket was part of it. All I did was sink it in the SV for a little while.

I was hoping to get you going on a "You can't get a smoke ring like that on a green egg" rant similar to yours on Friday night.

Cheers gentlemen.  This was really good.  He also sent some jalapeno sausage, rubs, and a pork steak.  I'll report back as I get those going.

I am doing a spatchcock chicken, some legs, and some asparagus tonight.

Eoin

Smash burgers tonight, with onions. 6 lbs of chuck in 4 oz burgers.

Launching pies tonight.

@CPFC1905 and @Eoin, the brits are really bringing it today. 

I like the kit. And I know the proper football terminology. I just wanted everybody else to understand.  😀

First time doing ABTs in too long. Thick cut bacon unraveled a bit but it made its destination.

Fronting up is never a doubt with those who have sworn the oath.  No worries, I am taking up the BGE ring challenge (I likely don't have a chance) this Saturday as it would be Derby Day around here.
BTW - During my brisket bender last June I did spend a few minutes talking with Tootsie at Snow's before getting to spend some time with her pit masters.  That was one he!! of a road-trip.  
You should continue to tap that source.

Beef ribs, glazed with teriyaki sauce 15 mins before pulling. Delicious

Since I was messing about with a Creekstone Farms prime 24 oz ribeye this evening and needed a caveman fix, here you go-

Running on the SBGE til the high 115's*F.  
Then into the pit (LBGE):

Trust me, I'm there-poor pics -no surprises!
But I finished well!

I thought I was focused...Thanks for lookin'.
Stay healthy, stay safe.

Great looking effort, right there. Have still(!!) yet to do a caveman. 

I feel like your ability to focus will improve exponentially once cameras become equipped standard with stabilizers to counter the brown water. 🙂

I did a butt for pulled pork about a month ago. Then spent 4 weeks in quarantine with covid-19 (one of the first confirmed cases in my zip code). I just got out of quarantine and the first thing I cooked was N.Y. strips on the egg. 

Back when I bought that butt, I also bought a 3lb corned beef brisket flat. Not really sure why. Now that I’m back, I plan to soak it in water for 24h (changing it a few times) and try turning it into pastrami. Never done this before.

Given where you are from where you just left, then time to treat yourself in the most enjoyable fashion.
Spare nothing and enjoy.  Congrats on being here on the "other side".

If you don’t have a plan yet, this is a great one.  Pressure or steam to finish is the best if you can swing it.

Since Megan and Harry left, we have been subjected to an onslaught of publicity from the Will / Kate faction desperate to prove the relevance of the whole royal concept. They're clinging on.
