What did you eat today?
Quote: KevinAAQuote: billryanPan-fried some fresh mushrooms and added frozen peppers and onions. Then I mixed in a pound of thinly sliced rib eye, some shredded mozzarella, and let it all marinate overnight with a half-can of cream soda.
Today, I heated up two XXL tortillas, stir-fried the mix over high heat until it began to caramelize, and added it to the tortillas.
Next, I added reduced-sodium bacon bits and French-fried onion bits, along with some Kraft Chipotle Aioli, then folded the tortillas and grilled them until the shells were golden brown.
It was a nice meal, but a lot of work for the effort.

Come on, he says he's on a 3000 calorie a day Weight Loss Diet. It's a lot of work eating that many calories a day Give him a break. I'm sure the extra weight is just melting away
I have tried smoking briskets three times and have failed on all three attempts. I am the master of the smoked pork butt and smoked turkey, but brisket is an art that I have not figured out yet.

I'm not a fan of the brisket that I've had, but I'll admit I've never tried great brisket. For those who enjoy it, have a great Brisket Day.
It's bizarre that some think this isn't a healthy meal.

If I get a chance, I'll find some pastrami.

It is healthy for normal weight adults, but it is not on a weight loss plan. Delete the cheese, delete the tortilla, and delete 90% of the eggs and steak.

No pastrami.
Still, gotta love a halal convenience store with bacon sandwiches, a beer cave, and slot machines.

Do you not like pastrami, or are you avoiding it for health reasons? I love a great hot pastrami sandwich from a good deli.

No place I stopped had any today.
I think pastrami is one of the ideal preparations of brisket.

3000 calories a day on his weight loss program is not easy to maintain. It takes constant attention to calories calories calories That's where you get the most weight loss. Snicker

There is only one good way to make brisket, and you will rarely see it in a restaurant, or anywhere.
You slow cook it in a Crock Pot, in water and a little bit of vinegar, for 12-24 hours. Then that disgusting shell of fat on it, as well as all visible fat, will peel right off, and you throw it away. That is the part of a brisket that was thrown to dogs and beggars, not for human consumption. But restaurants will mix that all back in with the meat and expect you not to notice. I'd puke all over the floor if I ate that.
Then when you have a large piece of perfectly lean meat, you use two sturdy forks and pull the meat apart until it is the form of fibers and small strips. And it's done! Eat it any way you want and with anything you want.

Brisket needs smoke.

Good grief how old are you. Gasoline has not been called high test since the 1950s. It started in the 1920s when they gravity tested gas and the higher testing gasoline had more octane so they called it high test. In the 1950s you pull up to the pump and the attendant would say regular or high test. But soon after that they started calling it Premium which is the same thing

Next thing you know, you won't be able to get Ethyl... just White Gas.
Had some Popeye's chicken & shrimp earlier. The shrimp were pretty good, like they were battered in the spiced breading, fresh and crispy. The chicken was a little dilapidated and soggy.

The thing I liked about Ethel was it was red because they put red dye in it. They did this because the added chemicals were highly toxic in ethyl gasoline and you really didn't want to go sucking it out of a gas tank with a hose like you did with regular gas.

You've never siphoned gas out of a car before with a garden hose? It was a quick way to get a couple of gallons from your parents car for your jalopy back in the 50s and you always had to get a mouthful before it got going.

I had a jiggler hose - sucking not required.
Otherwise, the lawnmower was a 4 stroke, so the jerry cans were pretty easy to raid.

No. I do not put such things in or near my mouth. There is a much better technique- put as much of the hose in the tank as you can. Seal the end with your finger and pull the hose out, and the fuel will remain in the hose due to vacuum. Repeat until you have enough liquid to prime the siphon.
If you can get in deep enough and have enough hose, you can switch fingers and ends, put the dry end back in the tank with the hose full of gas, and the siphon will be sufficiently primed in one motion.
making a liquid stay in a tube without sucking or whatever is called creating a static siphon. When you get old enough, you will have to learn to break up static siphons when you finish urinating. The urine can stay in that 'tube' in a spot and the next thing you know you've drenched yourself zipping up your pants. All you young guys can thank me for giving you a heads up ... jab your finger up there and break it up!! And you can thank me for being well into my cups to even talk about this ha haQuote: AutomaticMonkeyQuote: EvenBobQuote: DieterQuote: EvenBobQuote: Dieter

If you don't mind using a whole Morton salt container (1lb), a slightly less than pencil size hole in the top works fine for shaking out salt. Less like pouring and more like light rain. No more filling saltshakers.

I visited a hotdog stand in River Grove, just outside Chicago. They stabbed the tops of the paper salt canisters with a carving fork, then seasoned their fries. Heck of a trick.
