Speaking of bread ... wife and I decided to make some bread, doughnuts, and pretzel buns. Under the wood stove as a proof area. Worked great! Delicious homemade products made in just a few hours.

Pork Ribs - Simple no work, oven at 225F, 6 hours, plain dry rub. Could add sauce, and bake another hour, but I just had dry.
Used THE KEG pork and chicken rub.

We have a Winter Storm Warning on with a possible 10-16 inches of snow with wind gust up to 35 mph. I figured it was a good day to make soup so I did.

I ate the rest of the stew the wife made earlier this week so I'll have some of this tomorrow.

Not much snow so far but it's suppose to snow until 9 tomorrow night. I ended up having soup tonight for supper, the wife loved it so that's good enough for me.
 
Just out of the oven - much better than the other week when I forgot to bake it. I finally remembered at bedtime. That last loaf had risen and fallen
to a paddy. I baked it anyway, and as my punishment for being forgetful, ate it. Reminded me of the days when I was a kid making home made pizza from scratch.

I’ve had loads fall. Such is life! Lol
 
Let’s see your meal prep.


This year the turkey brine is especially pretty.
Water
Cranberry Cocktail
4 orange peels
Peppercorns
Bayleaves
Herb bouquet
Head of garlic halved
1.5 cups of salt, and about the same amount of brown sugar.

Warming on the stove to dissolve the salt, sugar and marry the flavors. Smells are free. Oh, wait…you can’t.

Lamb Shanks

225F for 8 hours
Good thing I put about 100 bags of pellets in the garage this afternoon. I don't usually eat white rice, but once or twice a year is OK I guess.
