    Help with preserving vegetables

    Does anyone have experience with freezing fresh vegetables? I recently bought more asparagus than I needed, so I blanched all of it and then vacuum sealed what I didn't need right away and froze it in individual portions. But I'm curious about the best way to prepare those frozen portions...

    Agreed. I bought a few third party parts for mine (all from Cajun Bandit) a couple years ago (been using my 22" WSM since 2017), including a door (stainless steel), a deeper charcoal ring, an extra section that sits where the lid would go on a stock WSM and adds an extra grate, and a shelf that...

    Homemade Food Porn

    Cooked up some meal prep pork chops with a creamy mushroom sauce, roasted potatoes, and green beans. This'll feed me for at least a few days.

    What Sports Do You Like?

    1. NFL (Bears) 2. CFB (Iowa) 3. MLB (Cubs) 4. WBB (Iowa) 5. MBB (Iowa) 6. NHL (Blackhawks) 7. Golf It wasn't long ago that CFB would have been a clear #1 for me, but the past couple years of Iowa football have really brought the mood down and the Bears have at least been interesting, if not...

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    Generally, this is true, though I sauced some bbq wings and put them back in the oven and they were still crispy. I also want to try some lighter sauces, maybe more vinegar based instead of going more syrupy.

    2024 NCAA Tournament Thread

    If the foul hadn't been called, I guarantee Bueckers feeds Edwards on the roll for an easy bucket. Geno didn't put the ball in her hands to necessarily get a 3. He put the ball in her hands because she's precisely the one you want on that team making the decision on which shot to take in that...

    In honor of Easter, what's your favorite frozen pizza?

    I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but Screamin' Sicilian is the best frozen pizza I've had.

    NCAA Basketball Tournament Streaming

    If you want to watch as much of both tournaments as possible, getting the $5/month upgrade to stream YouTube TV to unlimited devices in your home is also great. I've had four TVs set up in my living room (one TV hardwired to my router, one connected to a hardwired PS4, and two chromecasts) all...

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    I'm definitely gonna keep it relatively simple. One or two rubs, a dry wrap (no brown sugar/butter/honey), and some Whomp sauce mixed with a little pepper jelly rib candy to give it a little kick on the back end and a really glossy presentation.

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    In that sense, I’ve got a leg up. I’ll eat fall off the bone, obviously, but I do prefer a rib that holds onto the bone just a little and that’s what I shoot for when I cook. I want something I can slice up without it disintegrating.

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    That’s exactly what I tell them I’m afraid of. I certainly love cooking for people (mostly because I like to show off), but I’m perfectly happy keeping that with family and friends.

    Well, it's not opening a restaurant/food truck like my friends keep telling me I should do, but I reckon this will be more fun. Just signed up for a rib competition at Meat Fest in Green Bay this May. I've got no real expectations, but I'm curious to get some feedback from judges.

    This has been one of my top 2-3 rubs that I use when I make them myself. Been using this one for probably nearly 10 years.

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    I've got almost the entire Meat Church lineup, and I've never been disappointed with any of his rubs (his gourmet lineup is outstanding, too; his seasoned salt makes the best carmelized onions and mushrooms for steak or whatever, and his lemon pepper is great for wings). I've also got a ton of...

    Voyager 1 is likely dead

    In terms of discovery and our understanding of our solar system/galaxy, Voyager is clearly more important. But it's impossible to overstate the emotional/psychological/inspirational impact that the Apollo program had. We put people on the ****ing moon, for crying out loud, and it spurred us...

    Random Thread of Photography

    I don't know if this counts as random, and I know this thread skews pretty heavily toward wildlife and landscapes, but I figured I'd share a few photos from the past few weeks of postseason wrestling in Wisconsin (from sectionals, the state individual tourney and the state duals). Postseason...

    If Kyrie is any indication, professional athletes don't care if you're a moron, as long as you can ball.

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    Not to mention that the NCAA recognizes Tara Vandermeer's wins from her AIAW years for the coaches' wins record (59 of her 1210 wins came before NCAA WBB). If you don't want to count the AIAW stats, fine, but you can't pick and choose which stats from the AIAW to count.
