10 logs of sausages on the pellet grill with smoke tube smoking
What's on the grill today? Duck sausages! Friend went hunting and brought back 10 lbs of duck breast. Ground that with some pork, chicken fat and spices. The logs on the left are a pepperoni spice blend, the ones on the right are spiced more traditionally for a duck sausage.

Kevin J. Anderson said as part of his keynote at Superstars, "Evolve or die."
There are going to be those of you to whom this news isn't new. But I just heard about it this morning and figured I'd share.

Laser loon (the MN state bird) done in the style of the rebel resistance.
Talking about speaking out, trying to make my position clear. I'll probably be posting more political things here than over on the book of faces.

Smoke tube and two summer sausage logs on the grill. Because there is no ICE outside during the summer, or so says this MN girl.
What's on the grill today? Summer sausage! I start with ground beef, seasoned appropriately. Form the meat into one or two logs, depending on how much you started with. Wrap the logs tightly in plastic wrap and let sit overnight. Smoke at 180 until the internal temp reaches 160.

Unfinished knitted hat in light and dark blue of owls and leaves
What's currently on my needles? Boreal forest critters, specifically, owls. The colors are actually a dark and light blue, not black and white. Very soft and very pretty!

A card from my mother. Don't Look Back, with a person going down the path stated, "Your Life" and ignoring the path "No Longer An Option."
Yesterday's post was about looking back. Today's post is a change of perspective. Enjoy!

Pork butt "ham" that's been glazed with a sauce made from honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, OJ, pineapple juice and a bunch of spices.
The pork butt "ham" turned out SO GOOD. It tastes like the best smoked, honey-glazed ham I've ever had. It's juicy and flavorful, really tender too. It's so good I'm planning on making it again in August for our annual BBQ.

After the pork butt was injected with brine, it was put into a brine for four+ days.
Pork butt that's been injected with a brine normally used for ham.
The smoke tube is on the far left. In the back, the Canadian bacon. To the right, the pork butt. The silver tray contains shank steaks and ribs.
Canadian bacon finished. There is NO glaze on that meat. It's so shiny because after I took it out of the brine, I let it dry overnight in the fridge with a fan blowing on it.
What's on the grill? Canadian bacon, a pork butt that's been cured as a ham, and some shank steaks. More info as alt text.
