It looks great - how'd you like it?

Beautiful knife! I'd love one like that some day. We've watched Forged in Fire for years and enjoyed learning the process on blades like that one! Cooked two corned beef briskets in the Instant Pot; panfried cabbage with bacon and onion; boiled baby carrots and turnip chunks in the leftover...

It is just about flat-top weather around here too! Merry, that is a gorgeous loaf and would be a favorite of mine. Yum. I've just finished canning 5 pints of corned beef chunks; next up, two corned beef brisket flats in the Instant Pot.

Yum, made my mouth water, Merry!

Boy it's sure quiet in here lately! Miss the meals and camaraderie! Anybody doing St. Patrick's Day cooking? I have a beautiful point cut corned beef brisket, KOTC has requested fried cabbage, will cook up a few carrots and turnips in the Instant Pot with the corned beef. Looking forward to it!

Thanks for the link, that looks delicious! I will definitely not use my Veuve Clicquot in that however - I like your idea of buying an inexpensive bottle to make that dish. We just bought a new kitchen gadget - a Stuffler waffle maker - learning curve but we're having fun. Will post...

Finally remembered to take a picture of the finished jerky. Just a small sample of the 3 pounds of finished product.

I like the Excalibur pretty well - I wish it had a settable thermostat though. You can set it to approximate temps but it's more about a range. We've run a temp probe in there and it swings just about 20* - 10 each above and below the set point. BUT, it works great anyway. This one is...

9 trays (6 pounds) of ground beef jerky in the Excalibur. 6 hours from now it should be perfect! Not much to see now but will try to remember a couple pictures when the trays come out later.

We have the LEM big jerky cannon but I've found it easier just to roll out the meat with a rolling pin and use a pizza cutter to score it, then use my super-sharp 6" chef's knife to sever the strips and place them on the perforated silicone mats we bought for the Excalibur dehydrator. The test...

No pictures because it's almost gone but yesterday we did 2 pounds of 93/7 ground beef into jerky in the dehydrator. It's delicious! AND the 2 pounds of ground yielded just over 1 pound of jerky - for a cost of less than $10 for the meat, plus the few cents' worth of seasonings and the time it...

I think you are right, D. This was extremely well-wrapped so no freezer burn or anything visibly wrong with it, it's just past its prime by now methinks!

No pictures of the pork pot roast. In theory it turned out really well - tender and pull-apart easy. However, this is some of the last of the pork we bought two years ago now from a local farmer and the fat is strongly-flavored. So, the meaty parts tasted OK but the fatty parts were not to...

That soup looks delicious, Merry. Nice for cold nights! I just finished cooking off 6 pounds of bacon in the oven. AND I'm about to run an experiment! I have a nice, thick, flat cut of pork shoulder and I'm gonna try my chuck pot roast recipe on it and see how it works out. I have some...

Beans, pork, beef, gonna do some pork stock next! I love to can and it's so nice to open the pantry and see stuff that you can just open and make something easily with. We had rotini pasta with the canned beef (brisket chunks) and marinara sauce - so good and so easy.

Hey Melana!!! Nice to "see" you. Your breads look fantastic. Not watching the Superbowl so I think I may venture over to Sam's Club while the game is on. I did that one year at Costco and there was NOBODY in the place! Been busy canning stuff. Fun!

My 6 quart enameled Dutch oven which WAS full of pork tenderloin chile verde.

Some good-lookin' food around these here parts lately! Yesterday I pressure cooked a big pot of Christmas lima beans (Rancho Gordo) with smoked pork neck bones. The beans were old and took quite a while to get tender but man it turned out delicious. It's not pretty so no pictures but I'll...

Merry that's a beautiful loaf and the mussels looke fantastic! I love those things!

DROOOOOLING over both those dishes! I love rabbit - haven't had any in years though.
