It's 3am and this prime piece of meat is about to see some oak smoke.

Gorgeous trim on that, Prime wow. The marbling looks nice.

I woke up with cookie crumbs in my hair.

Actually had to scrub that vessel. It's what I use for ice bath during fermentation

Ultimate fish taco: beer battered wild Alaskan cod, broccoli slaw, avacado crema (made with homemade Greek yogurt), cilantro, and Fresno chile & roasted garlic relish.

Hand rolled Pici with a bacon cream sauce, and Parmesan.

Damn you. I don't know what's better, your culinary skills or your mastery of food photography. What lens do you use for that?

Well, I learned that, while old-fashioned borosilicate Pyrex dishes can handle a mild thermal shock, one should check to make sure that the different-looking dish is, in fact, old-fashioned borosilicate Pyrex. Turns out knockoffs can't handle thermal shock.

Thanks, man! This was actually just my iPhone with a few in phone edits. But, some of my pics I use a Nikon D35 with a macro lens.

For food pics, I've found my Galaxy Note4 and minor edts produce just as good of images (if not better ) than my D5100. A lot quicker turn around, too...

But, still can't beat the DSLR for distance/action/nature/etc.

I use a Canon 50mm prime lens for shots that count, but the lack of zoom can make many shots tough. It's a 1.4 though, so I can get some awesome depth of field with it when that's appropriate.

I've been wanting to get a macro lens. Probably my next lens.

 

[LakesideBrewing]

Food pics, or most pics I guess, are mostly about lighting. Getting that right is half the battle.

@passedpawn Only way to cook steaks on a grill! Lol. You either start that way and finish indirect or start indirect and finish on the fire.

Same here, babyback in the lazy Q

A friend found a ton of morels while turkey hunting yesterday, and just gave us a big bag. So that's gonna be on the menu for the next couple days.

Awesome!

I just pulled 6 boneless short ribs out of the pressure cooker. Marinated them 2 days, rubbed with ancho chile powder and garlic salt, then into a bag with a homebrewed Porter.

Today, sliced up a big red onion, had some brown mushrooms left that needed eating, garlic cloves - browned the beef in bacon fat, removed to a plate, threw in the veggies and let them suck up the fond, added the beef back on top, poured in another Porter and some seasonings, set on High for 23 minutes (digital electric 8 quart pressure cooker) and they came out perfect. Removed meat to plate and reduced the remaining broth, adding a splash of Worcestershire and Balsamic vinegar, adjusted the seasonings a bit. Now the whole works is in the fridge. Will try to remember a picture later when I reheat for dinner, along with the sprouted brown and wild rice and quinoa that I made earlier too.

Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro is a great lens. If you can find it, so is the Canon 50mm f/2.5 macro.

Damn. Nothing about that does not sound amazing. Yes, pictures would be in order. And very much appreciated!!

Man, these little back ribs cook way more quickly! I don't think I have ever smoked anything other than spare ribs. I wrap in foil at 160 and these will be there in another 30-40 minutes! Granted my setup is too hot, but it's hard to control on a Webber kettle.

 

[Staestc]

Got my beans baking.

Got to be good beans. There's thick cut peppered bacon floating all over the top!! Lol

 

[Remmy]

Roasted turkey breast, pasta tossed in olive oil with fresh parsley and garlic, and some fatness on the side along with some sautéed carrots.
