thanks, good to be back

Hiya I sent an email to Chris thanking him once again for making this really cool space for us to share, brag, discuss, winge, whine, and moan or simply learn from each other I was cooking a UK style, primal cut brisket (bone-in) massing at 11kg no rub, no salt, no pepper, nothing added i cut...

not exactly new, but I haven't been here for a while. Here's what changed : I was at The Foresters in Church Crookham [ http://www.forestersatchurchcrookham.co.uk/ ] Hampshire, UK. I noticed a shiny new 22" WSM out front .. just gleaming there. I ended up chatting with the co-owner/partner...

Hey Josh I was having trouble finding ribs with decent coverage over here (UK). The butcher told me that generally ribs are byproduct of makin bacon, and most bacon makers will cut as close to the bones to maximize yield. So I bought a pork belly slab and cut my own with the coverage I wanted...

I'm led to believe that mahogany seeds are edible and eaten or to produce a milky drink.

How about this ! I guess it is OK, my gut feeling would be "NO" but these guys have been doing it for years. ... I wonder how much of that mahogany banister I ripped out last Saturday is salvageable ? It's more than 100 years old and painted ... better not mess with it. Or my wine cabinet ...
