10 logs of sausages on the pellet grill with smoke tube smoking

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.

Harlequin Is Ending Its Historical Romance Line After Nearly 40 Years - Reactor The publisher's decision to end its historical romance line in 2027 comes on the heels of controversial changes to its international publishing tactics

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
