Uh wow.....

So I showed this to the wife, and she now want's it for dinner tonight haha. What temp and about how long did you bake it?

It was about an hour. Started at 350 for 45 min or so, then bumped it up to 400 to finish and get the browning on the outside. Had my probe thermometer inside, pulled it just above 150, then let it rest for about 10 minutes, until the temp stopped going up, which was 160.

Cool steak knife.

That meat looks very juicy. Is that pork loin?

Great work guys tonight I'm using up a chunk of juniper cured pork belly I've had in the freezer forever. I think it'll end up in a sauerkraut and bean soup

It's been quiet, so here's a no-crust Quiche Lorraine with homemade mini lardons. The wife and my one-year old loved it.

Yes, its pork loin. The prep pictures are on the previous page. 1/2 a pork loin is what I used.

fixed up a pork roast

first time doing pastrami from scratch. Tasted good right off the smoker. I'll steam it for an hour or two tomorrow for sandwiches.

Whole beef shank stuffed with bone marrow and rosemary, braised in red wine, vermouth, and broth.

Baked Ziti for the week ahead.

Cooking some dark red beans for making chilli a bit later today and Magnolia café gingerbread pancakes (used soy milk instead of buttermilk).

From the Saffron thread below: Shrimp over Saffron Risotto

Mmmmm

That risotto looks awesome. I just hung up 5.5lbs of kielbasa to dry for 24 hours before I cold smoke it for a day or two. Also got some rye bread proofing and pork scratchings cooking, it's been a busy day!

Braised Pork ribs with Onions and apples served with Homemade kruate.

Falafel. Fried on both sides and finished in the oven.
