What's On Your Plate???

only suckers care about others
lets have fun doing whatever we like

When firearms are involved I don't want a fair fight.

I'd rather not get into hunting and the ethical debate. But here's a quick story. I had someone I thought was a friend call me sadistic and evil. Legitimately thought I was sick in the head. I asked him if he was a vegan. Nope, someone megafarming, killing, processing, packaging, shipping, and freeze-drying his steak onto a little styrofoam plate is great. But me bypassing the middlemen and knowing my meat came from a majestic, free, well fed, disease free animal, and just doing the kill myself was appalling. He told me I was never to contact him again and if I came around him he'd consider me a threat since I'm psychotic and willing to kill and would take me out before I had the chance to get him.

Real eye-opener. Glad I found that out over the internet and not in person. But his views against hunting and hunters aren't uncommon, given the reaction to a few recent big news stories regarding hunting recently.

Same thing for fisherman. How can u cook them... Yada Yada yada

Still need to post the rest of my pork belly adventure, but in the meantime, while it was smoking on Sat I did some deviled eggs. There's some prosciutto and duck fat mixed in there...

And then at the grocery store on Sun I picked this up...

Deviled eggs are one of my favorite foods. That jerky doesn't look too bad either.

So let's see, in the three weekends since the start of CFB season, I've smoked beef ribs, a duck, and a pork belly. What am I going to smoke this weekend???

Yup, octopus, a.k.a. tako. There's a recipe for smoked octopus that I've been eyeballing for years now, finally gonna try it...
