Anticipating the enjoyment of a just landed Blanton's Straight from the Barrel bourbon sent from Japan.  I will crack it January 20th.  133.3 proof.  Pace and savor.

Very nice Frank.

@nolaegghead haha, we cheated, it was frozen and shelled. Easy 5-minute boil.

I buy them like that too.  Much cheaper, although they aren't hard to shell. 

Interesting thing about soybeans - they are healthy if they are cooked and/or fermented (and eaten in moderation).  Raw, on the other hand, they are almost considered poisonous....very bad for you.

That said, I love them.  Talking to Andrew (alasksassasin) who grows them, the GMO commodity soybeans and human-food soybeans are very different.  Only a very small percentage of all soybeans grown go into edamame, soy milk, tofu, soy-sauce, etc.  The vast majority are processed into oil and feedstock (and, believe it or not chemicals and industrial materials).

@nolaegghead wow, learned something new!

Henry Ford was a early promoter/implementor of industrial uses for soy beans.  In addition I believe his diet regularly contained soy beans in various forms.  Pic from a book I have, "Ford, The Men And The Machine", by Robert Lacey.

This reminds me of the Cybertruck demo, except that I expect the body of the Ford didn’t shatter.

Just figured out what I’m doing tomorrow. You doing those on the egg? Time and temp?  What did you use to get the rub to stick?

250-ish for 25-30 minutes. I used some butter, Worcestershire and a bunch of spice. Threw the rub in at the end.

These were from last night - Bulgogi sliders:



I made some with straight kimchee (left) and others with a kimchee emulsion (blend of kimchee and mayo - right).  The straight kimchee ones were better IMO.

Chicken wings on the Summit charcoal and vortex. Teriyaki in the back and Franks and butter in the front.

Looks good

Wondering what is going on with the USPS these days.  Random first class mail can take over 3 weeks to get here from either coast.  Last I checked there are no elections happening at this time.  I know-first world problems.

I think we know who the flaggot is. 

That was too easy.

Some moron appointed another moron to run the USPS. 

....and 671 sorting machines were removed and destroyed.  They had a capacity of nearly 300,000 pieces per hour.

Got a brisket cruising along on the offset. 

Over Christmas my son brought home some Tabasco and Dragon Cayenne peppers that were grown by a friend. I threw them in my fermentation jar and added jalapeños, onion, and garlic until I filled the jar. 

This stuff is pretty close to weapons grade hot sauce (at least for me).

We had two Priority Mail 2-day deliveries going 23 miles south of our location. One went to Orlando-New York City and back before finally being delivered in 16 days.

The other went to Detroit, Michigan and back. Guess what, for $7.75, they don't guarantee Priority mail delivery in two days.

Trying to buy a new fishing kayak. I tried this summer and supply was short, demand high. Appears winter is the same

Landscape lighting maintenance. Have to back out the screws so the tree does not swallow them up by growing around them.   It was chilly up there this afternoon. It will be worse tonight when I have to re-aim them.
