    No, I think it's just because I can't get a wok hot enough. I'll have to find the recipe I followed and I think it was something Kenji Lopez head posted on serious eats way way back in the day. That's where I had heard about the dish and then when I found it on a menu I finally got a chance...

    Why? Reason I ask is I know people that say it smells like sweaty Mexicans. Does that kind of describe why you don't like it? It's definitely a different flavor for spice, but one of the best meals I ever had in my life was at a Chinese restaurant in Charleston South Carolina. Apparently...

    Yeah I think pelican has pedal drive versions of it, and a lot of other newer companies. I still don't have a pedal drive on either of my boats, but I think NuCanoe has a retro fit pedal system that I can slap on my frontier 12, but I think they're charging like a grand. Cheaper for me just to...

    Don't hesitate to use canned beans. Makes a hell of a lot easier for just doing a week night meal and adding a side dish. We just use the recipe is an inspiration. We always add different aromatics or herbs, and whatever types of cans of beans available. I've done a southwestern version with...

    Man hell of a fish. I'm curious what kayak are you using looks, like maybe a pedal drive Hobie of some sort? Anyways that fish probably equals more than the weight of the fish I've caught in this past spring, things have been pretty slow but right on. Did you keep it or did you pitch it back?

    For Easter, pulled a couple of hams out of the freezer that needed to be used up, and rubbed them down with a lot of fennel, Rosemary, another porchetta type aromatics, bit of brown sugar and let them sit for a couple of days. I'm not a super huge fan of ham, but this was more of an experiment...

    Yeah, only ever used smoked sausage or maybe taso before. I think mom used to use smoked ham hock in red beans and rice or white beans and rice. Was really happy with the results in the gumbo, and glad it'll be part of our repertoire from now on.

    Normally make gumbo couple times a year, and we had some colder weather coming in, so figured might as well. The wife had bought some smoked pork neck that was on sale at HEB it's kind of a mystery ingredient type deal we've been trying just to change things up with dishes. Went ahead and...

    Man I know I really want to smoke a brisket soon just to see what I can do. I haven't done a whole packer in a long time, but now want to see what the best method might be with the equipment I have. We had to figure out some weird method to do a barbecue cook-off across the forum or something...

    What do you think it was lacking? I just know it's supposed to be the bee's knees when it comes to cooking brisket nowadays if you believe all the dumb shit on the internet. Just curious what could have been better specifically or maybe what to avoid trying to do if you're going to invest the...

    The Goldie's guy has been on the Meat Church channel in the past. Think that's where I first heard of them. Let us know how it turns out. I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to cook next weekend for Easter now that I'm back home.

    @Mahes I think you've gotten plenty of good advice already. I worked at Taco Bell all through high School, and you really get proficient at wrapping burritos. Follow @pharmakos instructions. The more pliable the tortilla the easier it is to wrap. We used to keep tortillas in the warming...

    Maybe I did pay less for. I know academies consistent with their pricing other than when they decide to run sales on things and liquidate inventory. If I'm ever traveling around for work I'll typically stop in during lunch or something if I find one, and you can find shoes fishing gear...

    How much was it? I think I paid maybe 25 bucks or something but I just don't remember. I guess if you had to chop it in the smaller pieces also you could probably just use a sawzall. Now that I think about it the next time I go to use it in the slow n sear, I might chop it a little bit to...

    HEB was selling some Mexican brand for a while. I bought a few bags of it over the course of maybe a half a year, and the quality was great and they were nice big chunks in there, but then one bag or two would have just little turd pieces. Can't remember the name but I had a cowboy or something...

    Yeah I didn't either except the last time I pop by academy to look for shoes, I needed to pick up some smoking wood and typically I'll buy some lump charcoal because they've got decent prices and a nice selection. Decided to spend a little bit more to grab that type and don't remember what I...

    Made corned beef and cabbage last night with colcannon. Managed to find more of a point piece. I don't necessarily boil it but I braise it covered in a foil tray for a good long while with beer, stock, and aromatics. Threw a link of kielbasa in there towards the end for some pork fat and tasty...

    I thought you were using the super duper Japanese coal. B&b has some of those cylindrical charcoal. I know the woods going to be different, but it might be a good option. You can pick it up from academy. I bought a bag not too long ago and for doing barbecue and smoking type stuff I'm...

    What are those for. I've been fired up my arena account in a while, I think since 2020, but it thought about jumping back on. Just didn't want to snag one from somebody else who's more active playing the game. Thanks for posting them though.

    Yeah I think so. I couldn't remember but I just know mangosteen's being at the heart of the conspiracy, hehe. Didn't he have some sort of drug-fueled meltdown, or was that somebody else, or maybe all of them? I don't know. Maybe they all disappeared on the same flight. Edit:. What exactly...

    I guess that's why I was asking based upon the average age of the actors and the trailer. It looks pretty decent, I think I just remember reading about the books themselves on audible and diving into some of the reviews, and I'm pretty certain I remember reading something about it being an...

    Delicious. We used to go frog gigging when I was growing up in New Orleans. Get your trident and a high beam flashlight, shine it on them, and spear them at night. Golf courses were the best places to go, just need to be friends with the security guard. They really do taste like chicken, but...
