Puttering.

Jack;
How about that, spent over an hour to write a post and when I was proof reading it my PC had a hick up, and I lost the whole danged thing!

Yesterday I cut some pork across the grain, then sliced the resulting chops into finger steaks 1"x1"x the length.
I put a standard BBQ dry rub on the meat, then drizzled some hot sauce on the meat and let it rest to get a good uptake of all the nice flavors.
I gave the meat a light cold smoke, just long enough to begin to yellow the fat on the meat, then I brought the meat inside giving it a good flour dusting, so the egg wash would stick, and the bread crumbs and flour would stick nice and thick.
I ran the meat through my deep fryer just long enought to set a crust on the meat then set the meat on the cool side of my gas burning BBQ to cook indirectly till done.

One of our members has been a bad influance on me, and I think this can go in a good direction, but it is well too soon to tell.

Have you ever sat there thinking how something would be, and if you did a bit of this and that to it, it should turn out pretty good?
I made this Buffalo Wing sauce that Doc published on another group, well it is pretty good stuff, and I have become fairly fond of it. Why should wings be the only thing to put that sauce on? Well it was just about all the will power I had to keep from getting into the meat before I brough it in the house, but lacing the cooked meat with the sauce making sure each piece was covered in the sauce, I managed to get a plate heaping with the meat to the table before getting into the meat.

Jack! This was something different, it had a mild smoke flavor, lots of flavor, and heat! Oh wow it had the heat!
Beautiful Martha Stewart golden brown crust covered in a glistening red sauce, crisp, but tender enough to gum without the need of teeth! It was also moist, not the slightest bit dry.
This dish is not for the meek and mild, and great to devour whilst you are sucking down some sodum pop wit the foam on top what comes in them brown bottles!
Maybe Doc will post his Buffalo Wing sauce here.
I'm getting bad influenced all over the place here now!

rusty,
don't feel bad about the puter. monday we had our 3 times annual inspection with a new inspector no less and passed with a perfect score!!! got the rig parked and got back home and darned if the phone didn't ring. seems my new greyhound girl ain't the girl moose and us picked out!!! so we read off the tattos in each ear and sure enuff we ain't got kylee we gots allie. kylee is in atlanta so peg and i figured that allie heard atlanta and said no way! we don't blame her a bit as we spent 8 years of hell living in that cesspool!!!! so we got the smart dog!!! best thing that ever happened to atlanta was sherman and he only torched about 10% of it with the good citizens of atlanta burning the rest with their looting but i digress sir!!!!!
putering is a great thing and i do it all the time. why it's the way i found out that a piece of defrosted meat and a piece of hard frozen meat will,in fact,after 6 to 8 hours be exactly the same internal temperature!!! and this was the start of me being banned from cookshack's forum as it made the "equipment sound too complicated"!!! and heck this was posted in the pro's only site but it did gore 2 guys oxes and they chased me all over the internet!!! but hey data is data and numbers don't lie and i still get the occasional phone call that starts out "i got your name from,who got your name from,who read the post and can you explain it??!!"
the best recipes and food always come from puttering since puttering means that what the food is doing is being analyized. now it doesn't have to be as fancy as my logbook for cooking that i keep everytime i cook. it doesn't have to include the product,weight,wood used,ambient air temp,humidity and wind speed and direction. it just means someone is paying attention!!!! this was brought up in the driest reading book since "war and peace" and that book is "on food and cooking" by mcgee. i mean i slogged thru that book. it was real work. glad that i did tho. so yep i putter and i am convinced that that is how i have kept my sanity as a chef!!!!!!!!

A Rustic Cat for Rusty


Very mild disposition; doesn’t seem to shed much; misses the inside warmth of a home and barbequed meats. Does not likes to be with people much; content to sit, nap or just lie near someone; doesn’t mind being held or picked up; loves being pet on head/face, under chin, & back; gets along with other cats; never bites, growls or hisses.
