Two chuckies, 15 hours into a 24 SV cook.

Toast.

With sincere respect and good will toward the good intentions of the OP, and for his sense of humor about “How do we not have one specifically for cooking on a cooking based forum” , I would really hate it if many people accept this invitation to post their cooks on this thread.

1. When I see OT on a discussion title, I usually ignore it, because I'm mostly interested in what people cooked, whether there's something I can learn from them, or a recipe I might want to try.  So I think it's a mistake to label a cooking thread OT.  It's not Off Topic, but the title of this thread says it is!
2. I find it handy to see from the title of the discussion thread what the dish is.  I don't see much point reading a discussion of a recent BBQ eggplant dish when I don't like eggplant and won't be cooking it.  But if @bradleya123 above had posted a separate discussion about a smoked sausage and cheese loaf, and it was titled that way in the topic list, I might be interested in that, so I'll click on it.  But if that recipe is "lost" in some long generic discussion about "What are you cooking right now," maybe with 1,000 other things I wouldn't have been the least bit interested in, then I'll miss it, and might have enjoyed it.

I have been feeling like there aren't very many posts, these days, about great things people have cooked, and it makes the forum less interesting to me -- I have almost been wondering whether I want to keep coming here -- and just today I've discovered that a lot of people have been posting their cooks in an OFF TOPIC discussion about "what are you doing right now."  Sheesh!  I've never clicked on that!  Why would I?  It's Off Topic (not about cooking in a Big Green Egg), which is my main interest, here.

If the topic of what you're about to post is a recent cook, PLEASE start a new discussion and put the type of cook it is in the title.  Otherwise many of us will never see it.

@Theophan

I am not going to research my response, but I would venture to guess that many of the cooks that get posted in the OT-What are you doing right now? thread do not warrant a new thread.  Obviously, the person posting it doesn't feel that it does.  

As an example, I am smoking some beef ribs right now.  If I post that out on the main forum in the beef category, I feel it "litters" up the forum with unnecessary info.  I will get about 5 comments on it (maybe less) and the thread will sink.  6 months later you do a search on beef ribs because you want to cook them.  My post comes up in the search results offering nothing new in the way of cooking beef ribs, as those who have gone before me have already done a terrific job describing how to cook them.  I will not have any magazine worthy cross section shots that even come close to what others have posted.  I feel that if you are cooking something new or special or a large quantity or there is a special circumstance or exciting event surrounding the cook, making a good story, by all means, start a new thread.

Isn’t this forum’s raison d’etre “what are you cooking now?”

this is seems like a forum within a forum. Kinda like Inception?

Woah

Ah... that makes sense.  I hope that's true.  I feel better about it.  I was really wondering if there were a bunch of really great cooks that I would have enjoyed reading about in an Off-Topic discussion.

Thanks!

That’s what I’m thinking - cooks that are not thread-worthy.

Or a lazy way to post a cook.....

What makes a cook thread-worthy? If the poster of said thread thinks it is, then it is. If nobody else thinks it is, then as with the political etc. threads, just ignore it. 

I had a sandwich for lunch.  No pics.

It didn’t happen

It was PB&J, but here’s a sandwich pic.

I’m guessing you eat, on average, three meals per day - how many do you post?  For one, I’d be curious to hear about your Saturday afternoon lunch, Sunday brunch, or standard weekday breakfast.  I know you post some great cooks, but I’m sure you don’t start a new thread every time you fire-up the egg...  Do you?  I sure don’t.

My point was that if someone thinks their cook was thread-worthy, then so be it. If someone wants to post a cook every time they fire up the egg, then that's their prerogative. Even if others think it's mundane. 

And since you asked, I had a sous vide egg with leftover drip biscuits and homemade grapefruit marmalade for breakfast. Lunch was brats made from our pigs some time ago. Dinner at a friend's place, so I don't know yet. I've been working on tamagoyaki for a week or two, so that's what weekday breakfasts have been about. 

I feel so much better now. 

Wow, we’re a little chippy, aren’t we?
