I like this time at night on HBT

[Hobgoblinlust]

It was brought to my attention that brisket is analogous to pork belly. My next project will be to make beef bacon from brisket. I have no idea if this is brilliant or totally insane... Sounds like a lot of my projects/recipes.

Your gong to end up with a corned beef/chipped beef product

Ya know, in the world I work in (bunch of type A personalities, fighter jet jocs) A callsign is given to each of them. Just for the record I'm not a pilot.. far from it.

But these dudes and dudettes all have callsigns. Some are masculine..."Rawhide, Viper, Snake and Bear" to name a few. Some aren't , Booger, Dude, Dizzy and stuff like that. All in good camaraderie.

I aint talking about giving BobbiLynn a call sign. More of an affectionate reference. I from now on will call BobbiLynn "Sis" because she is like my little sister and I love her in that way.

You can do the same if you want. I don't judge either way.

I think Sis is offline now. Girl has a heapload of tough times to deal with. Good vibes to her and her hubby. For real!

Ok I took a camera to beer and cigar night. I got lots more photos but in my drunken state these kind of seem right. Might change in the morning

 

[Varmintman]

OK I was drunk so sue me:rockin:

The only thing wrong with these pics is the bud light in them.

Your gong to end up with a corned beef/chipped beef product

Corned beef is basically pickled. Chipped beef is heavily salted. I'm planning on curing and smoking, but not heavily salting. I'm thinking sweet curing instead.

I should pull out my leftover brisket, thin cut some and pan fry it. I don't have the smoker setup for the rest, and won't until it warms up.

Bud light.. it makes a good night. I'm a homebrewer. Doesn't make me a beer afficiando. I just like beer. Pretty much all of it. If I ever get to the point I sound better than I am. Err, well.. I'm not

 

[Airborneguy]

Doesn't make me a beer afficiando. I just like beer.

Liking beer to the point that you choose to become a homebrewer certainly makes you an aficionado. You can still enjoy Bud Light as an aficionado. Becoming a snob is where things begin to change. I don't think you'll get to that point.

 

[Airborneguy]

My daughter and I are heading to another gun show with one of my friends. Can't wait. I'm still on the hunt for a few things.

 

[Varmintman]

I posted the photo of the bud just to show I am surrounded by bud drinkers. Of course my cooler was the first one kicked

 

[Varmintman]

I must stay strong.

One of my buddies went sledding yesterday and came home just beat. I asked him why he was so beat and he told me that they were sledding in 3 foot of new powder. Man that is just perfect conditions to ride

Well, if it helps at all. My brother in law went on Thursday and came home with this.




37 staples, missed the femoral by less than an inch. He was 3hrs into the backcountry and bleeding bad. Apparently he dug a ski and went over the bars doing 15ish. His leg caught a cable shroud on the bars and ripped his thigh wide open. A nice ride with the medics in the helicopter to the closest trauma center.

The dog and I have been up singing and dancing this morning. I'm singing Beach Boys still and he's dancing. I think we'll brew another 5 gallons today. Got 20 gallons going now, and a couple boxes of beer conditioning in bottles. Need more beer. Gonna brew my last AG batch I bought as a kit then get some stuff ordered for a cheap batch, want to try some new recipes. Not cheap beer, as in Bud light, like varmintman's friends, but good beer that just happened to be inexpensive to make. Might even get the possum trap reset today.

I feel terrible about calling the family vultures, was not their intent. I think they are just worried I'll start selling things to cover costs. Make sure the things they were promised don't get sold. But I'm not selling anything. Keeping hope hubby will recover and make it back home. He is a fighter, not a giver-upper. And I have learned to not always listen to the doctors. Sometimes it seems like their guess is as good as mine. Some of his organs are struggling, but nothing past the point of no return.

Happy brew day dance!! I hope there is enough propane in the little tank because I'm not sure how to transfer from the big tank to the smaller ones. Hubby always did that for me. Guess I could watch a youtube video then try not to blow myself up attempting it.

Glad we got some more dancing bananas in stock. Needed them for the happy brew day dance.

 

[Varmintman]

Ow snaps and I mean a big OWWWW.

I wonder why I love doing it so much when it hurts so bad. Even on the non wreck days it hurts but wreck days are just not pretty

 

[BigPicture]

Everybody keeps asking me about Homebrew. How good is it?

The best analogy I've ever heard is: it's like homemade lasagna vs. store bought lasagna. Sure you can get filled up with the store bought stuff, but once you've had homemade from a good cook there is nothing that can compare.

Better fill the tank before you start. Sucks running dry and then having to learn how

Hope the hubby does get better. Good to see the dancing bananas as well:rockin:

Here a few more dancings bananas for you:

 

[Varmintman]

The sled I was working on last night ended up with a bad knuckle joint and scored piston so it is going to take a lot more to fix than we thought. Was hoping to get by with just new rings but you know how it goes.

And it was a great night. I did not even pick up a wrench since my back is hurting. Just watched the shop rats and drank beer by the fire. :rockin:

 

[BobbiLynn]

Do I really have to sanitize? Screw it. A good rinse and we'll see what happens. 100 years ago did they sanitize everything? It looks clean.

Hey if something goes wrong just call it a "wild brew" and that´s it.

My new motto- just drink that infection- it will build up your immune system.

I like making twice baked potatoes - lots of cheddar cheese & sour cream - and then top them with a couple slices of cooked bacon. Not much better beside a good filet!

I love twice baked potatoes. I usually do sour cream, garlic, blue or gorgonzola, a bit of chives and a little crumbled Stilton on top. I save the bacon for wrapping the filets.

We've all done and said stupid things. Rubbing my eye with a hand that had been handling jalepenos was one of my finer moments.

I was chopping a whole bunch of different hot peppers once upon a time and afterwords I had to pee. Let's just say after that experience I have always worn nitrile gloves when chopping hot peppers.

Hot dog

Been there done that as well. Not much fun

The real gift comes when you touch someone else with your peppery hands and then they can feel the burn.

 

[BobbiLynn]

Mash time, picked the debris out of the pot before it got too hot. Maple leaves and one acorn should give it a nice flavor, the ones I missed. Wind is blowing, dropping things into my kettle, but now I have the lid on it. I know I don't have to sanitize anything that will get boiled, so all good so far.

 

[snaps10]

That's not debris, its flavor.

 

[BobbiLynn]

Yes, not even measuring anything this time, looks like enough water. Fill up the kettle as I go and let her rip. Got my mash water too hot and waiting for it to cool.... added some more cool water to help 'er along. Happy brew day dance!!!

 

[ruralbrew]

it's approaching beer:30, I think I best have one or two. Worked last night so then it will be nap time for me. But first...

be cool...

relax...

get hip...

Loving the hairy chest and mustache from the video...
