My very first prime rib roast ever, smoked or otherwise. I kept it simple. Dry brined with kosher salt overnight. Made a paste with softened butter mixed with rosemary, thyme and garlic and smeared it all over. Smoked at 225 until 125. Will cut those halves in half and pan sear two pieces for dinner tomorrow. The other two will be vacuum sealed and frozen for a later date.

Looks perfect.. what time is dinner tomorrow?

i think i made my best pork butt to date! all i did was trim it then do a dry brine in pure msg for about 12hrs then seasoned with weber kc bbq rub using mustard for a binder. then smoked it on low 180 until around 155 wrapped in foil and cooked to around 205 until tender. it was excellent. also tested the kitchenaid mixer at pulling it. thats a game changer, it was super fast and did a great job! i used the dough hook. also made a macaroni pie for the side. basically macaroni and cheese thats deep with a semi charred top layer of grated cheese

My favorite meal since childhood updated a bit. Reverse seared pork chop with canned spaghetti. Don’t knock it til you try it.

When I was a kid one of my favorites was called Plainville Special, it was browned hamburger mixed with Campbell's Spaghetti, makers of Spaghettos. Kind of glad I outgrew that one.

Smoked some Almonds:
1 lb raw almonds
Used cookie sheet, 225*, smoke 1 hour
Stir, smoke 1 more hour
Mix in 2 T oil and 1 T salt, smoke 1 more hour
I used Hickory, tasted like bacon almonds.

Ohhhh... I may want to give that a try. Where did you find the raw almonds?

Grabbed a 5 lb bag at the Farmer's Market.
Another place would be a natural or health food type store.

I don’t know where @FastEddie got his but you can try Costco. Ours carries raw almonds.

FastEddie lives just outside of the almond growing capital of the world so he has a lot more options than you might in Texas. 80% of the world’s almond supply is produced in central California. We have several friends who grow them and typically get 10-20 lbs. a year given to us for cooking.

My wife makes some pretty famous candy at Christmas every year, some of which requires almonds. Our friends want to make sure they are on her gift list so they make sure she has the raw materials needed for her candy .

No worries, thanks for the Costco idea too
