I love waffles ! w/ butter & real maple syrup.Breakfast of champions! Or rather, breakfast of the guy who wants more than Rice Krispies before moving in to a plow truck for the next 48 hours...
I grew up on that, and on their blueberry syrup as well. I like them, but I prefer the maple variety, fresh from the tree.Have you ever tried strawberry syrup?
So so good View attachment 73185
I love a good waffle too! Unfortunately these are Walmart special freezer waffles... There’s also a Kunzler sausage patty, and two fried eggs. On the waffles is dairy free “butter” and Amber maple syrup. I like the lighter syrups when I can find them, but unfortunately none were available this last time.I love waffles ! w/ butter & real maple syrup.
So sausage, & but what is on the right ?
I have never really understood the "chix & waffle" combo craz.

I live in the center of “Chicken and Waffles Land”, but I can’t get into that combination either.
I make blueberry and strawberry syrup/topping for the boys regularlyHave you ever tried strawberry syrup?

I think it's good, it's generally how I order at a restaurant and how I cook steaks or burgers for myself. My girlfriend prefers them a little more done so I've been doing medium rare more often as of late.Rare isn’t something I’ve tried how is it? I usually keep it somewhere around Medium-Rare between medium.
No doubt, best to err on the side of caution. I haven't had any ill effects in all my years of eating/cooking rare ground beef, but certainly could be a possibility.I’ve read that with burgers (ground Hamburg) it’s better to have it more thoroughly cooked though for safety.
Depends on the cut. If fattier, like a ribeye, a medium rare will help the marbling add more flavor. I like rare on leaner steaks such as NY sfripHow do you all like your steak? Rare? Medium-rare? Medium? Cooked another one today:

I recently found a good source of uncooked, smoked, pork belly.Looks good! I usually go for a medium to a medium rare, but I have no problem with a rare steak.
If you haven’t tried this cooking method yet, do it: Sear until brown both sides of the steak on a VERY hot skillet, in about 1/8-1/4” of oil. Take the steak off the skillet, put it on a wire rack in the oven at about 250-300 and cook it to your desired temperature. I usually go for about 135. This will give you a steak with a nice thin browned crust, and cooked evenly all the way through - this is how most steakhouses do their steaks, although many of them use a 500 degree convection oven instead of the lower temperature oven I prefer.





Never had pork jerky beforePork Jerky – Big Batch
Rev: 210201 1110
I posted a little about this previously when I made “test batches” of various beef & pork cuts.
Pork tenderloin is now my choice since it is very lean, tender & relatively cheap ($3.88/lb), compared to most beef (e.g. eye-of-round $6.74/lb).
Big Batch:
4 Pork tenderloins – 4.6 lb (cut into ¼” thick medallions) – trimmed by removing fat & silver-skin
(Cutting medallions is easier after freezing tenderloins for 1 hour.)
Marinade:
15 T Tamari (or good quality soy sauce)
5 T Balsamic vinegar (good quality; or good red wine vinegar)
10 t sugar
5 t Garlic powder / granulated
5 t Black pepper
5 t Smoked paprika
1 T Red pepper flakes
1 T Chipotle chile, ground
5 t Fennel seeds, spice grinder or crushed
5 t Anise seeds, spice grinder or crushed
5 t Accent seasoning (MSG)
Mix pork & marinade in large bowl.
Vacuum seal in plastic bag to increase marination. Refrigerate for 24 hours.
Dehydration:
Convection oven at 130°F for 5-6 hours.

Home made pasta !Homemade home fries sautéed in olive oil. Sometimes I’ll add in bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms to sauté in with the olive oil but didn’t end up today. Topped with paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and basil.

Homemade pasta with grass fed ground beef and organic tomato and basil pasta sauce. Sometimes I’ll top with some cayenne pepper to give it a hotter / spicy flavor.

Yes.Oh I think I need to edit that post, I meant the dish was homemade not from a restaurant. I’ve never actually made pasta from scratch. Have you?
