Title: Saturday Smoke Part 1 (Part 2 Added)
Post by: sliding_billy on August 31, 2013, 03:57:45 PM
Wagyu Tri-Tip cooked to 140 and then a quick cast iron reverse sear in some leftover Wagyu (from a brisket) tallow.  A few brauts smoked and then seared in the same cast iron and tallow.  Risotto with baby portobello mushrooms, spinach and 3 cheese blend using the leftover Wagyu brisket jus as the liquid base.  That was lunch.  Baby backs got done a couple of hours later for a "snack."  For dinner, I have 1/3 (6.5 lbs) of a shoulder clod and some chopped BBQ beef from a couple of arm roasts that needed out of my freezer to make space for a few packers.  Wife did some tzatziki, so that and some pita chips will complete my feast for the day.  Clod is through the stall and climbing right now.

Tinker was under foot hoping for something to fall all morning.  I had to take a picture since he was looking adorable and finally realaxing (and since I had the camera out).

What a great spread! It all looks delicious. Who's that lurking in the background of Tinker's picture?

That would be T Rex wearing Tinker's walking (yes, the cat takes walks) harness.

I have to ask you a personal question and you do not have to answer if you do not want to. How many people are in your family? How many do you usually cook for. I have to ask because it seems like you cook enough food for the 3rd Marine Division every time that you cook. And what is your height and weight? The amount of food that you cook would be two meals each and some frozen dinners for us.

No problem answering Ed.  There are 4 people in my family, all thin.  I freeze leftovers, and typically when I cook it is for the whole weekend plus the frozen stuff.  I am 5'9, 165 and have a body fat of around 11%.  My wife is 5'5, 115.  Both of my boys (10 and 13) are rail thin as well.  I honestly do not eat a lot except for my weekend cooks (or the occasional restaurant visit) when as Tee said after seeing me eat "I can put away some groceries."  The bigger thing is that I exercise about 2 hours a day (5 miles plus weight training and core work including at least 100 push-ups, 400 sit-ups and various other core exercises).  It will be painful, but I will be doing that workout tomorrow morning and bemoaning the beating that I put on my stomach today.  :(

P.S. Part 2 is coming next.
