In your nightmares
Saw the doc this morning for annual check-up. vaping is bad, I really need to stop:)
Sometimes I don’t hear what the doc says:)

As smart as Dr's can be they also can be just as dumb :censored::danger::-x

Good afternoon Dale, Jw and Joey :wub:

Aww Joey. Hope it goes smoothly with the carpet guy.

JW, I agree! Would he rather you smoke o_O

Thanks, Dale. Me too. So far so good but I sure wish it were 5. Snow squalls this afternoon. Uggg.
Sara hopefully the snow misses you :)

    Carpet guy is done and gone, called school to have them fix the issue is done. She could not figure out why it happened, I just did not want it mess my credit up I still have to go through the final process of the mortgage yet.

    Getting ready to grind up half of this huge brisket to mix up for burgers. The other half I am going to smoke on the grill.

    Dale do you think I should grind the brisket with the fat still on or trim down. Never done this before :rolleyes:
    Without seeing it I wouldn’t know. Depends on how lean you want your ground meat :?:

    This brisket had a lot of fat, I cut the brisket in 1/2 than trimmed about 80% of the fat off. There was about 5lbs of ground brisket altogether made some burgers and what is left I will make a brisket/pork mix meatloaf :drool::drool:

    Yeah that wedge on the corner definitely needed to be trimmed down. When you buy a large cut of meat like that you need to feel of it and get something with the softest fat.

    Paid around $45-$50 @ $3.00 a pound I should have did a better job picking one out there were a bunch in the case at walmart. I made brisket burgers they were so good :drool::drool::drool:. Going to mix up the pork, ground chuck and ground brisket up to make a meatloaf, also just rubbed up the other half of the brisket that is smoking on the grill right now. We will be eating good the next few days :drool::drool::drool::drool::lol::lol::lol::lol:


    Edit: Thanks for the tip to check how soft the fat is :)

    Oh yeah lol Hey what the hell is organic ground beef is it any good??
    I assume it’s grass fed without any additives or pesticides in its feed. Grass fed beef is definitely different, when butchering you can smell the grass :blink: I would imagine you can taste it too :yawn:

    Oh yeah. Remember when we made those short ribs? The house smelled slightly unpleasant. I was so glad they tasted alright.

    Good morning lurkers :wub:

    I’m not 100% sure but I know the last couple of times we made beef it smelled funny to me and I am not pregnant :lol: and it was from the cow we ordered.

    hmm, I just went back and reread my posts. Guess I never did bring it up here must have been talking to the girls at work lol I searched for funny smelling beef (not spolied) and apparently it is a thing :lol: who knew.

    eta. The ribs did smell good when I seared them but it was after they were in the crockpot for awhile they smelled off to me.

    Good morning Sara :wub:

    Probably not grass fed then, you’d definitely recognize the grass scent. But yeah, I know my mother hated the smell of boiling beef.

    Yum! Can’t wait to see it, Joey. :thumb:

    ohh Dale. I hope you feel better. :( Nothing wrong with leftovers.

    We did fake steak (steakumms :lol:) sandwiches with provolone cheese, mushrooms and onions, chips on the side. Not a healthy dinner but it was delish. We make real shaved beef ones too but sometimes you gotta have the steakumms. ;)
