What did you accomplish today?

I have some almond wood I need to cut up into smaller pieces for my smoker, I have heard it is a nice mild smoke. I have a prime rib I would like to do that way. Asparagus is expensive this time of year, they grow a lot near me so during the season I can get it relatively cheap.

Did a reverse sear on a 20 oz ribeye. 240 on the smoker for 30 minutes. Wrapped for 20 to absorb the juices, then onto the gas grill at 500 for a minute each side. A nice medium throughout without a tough outer(like a normal sear) and perfectly rendered fat. Not one inedible piece on that bad boy. Fuck i could go for another one now!

Youkon golds on the smoker (wrapped) for an hour with oo, salt, pepper and finished with some kerrygold Irish butter. Sooo good.

Usually my morning coffee keeps the appetite away but damn I'm hungry again

Olive oil.

I'd do butter the whole time but it turns brown and gives an off taste.

Lard

Nice looking steak. The wife has been testing out new sweet potato and kale recipes. So far my favorite is with leaks and onions. The one with Johnsonville Cheddar and Jalapeno sausage wasn't bad either.

I had a What's for Supper thread on two different platforms for two or three years. I need to remember to take pictures of my food.
 
I priced getting a couple of acres cleared right behind the house. $2K per acre. So the wife suggested I start with the tractor and chainsaw, and see how long it will take to clear a spot big enough for two sheds. We had a log cabin when I was a kid. If it wasn't so time consuming, I would stack the logs somewhere and peel the bark off them when I get to it. I just doubt I would ever get around to it.

I did work half a day on the down trees out past the garden. Got about half of them out to the road and cut up in FEMA approved lengths.

What are FEMA approved lengths?

8 foot is the official length. But the guys on the debris trucks will take up to 15 foot if it's not too big around. I just drag the tree to the road then cut it so it lays down pretty good and there are no limbs out in the road. When the pile gets too spread out I put the box blade on and push it in a pile. The word on the street is they are leaving in April, so I need to do what I'm going to do by then. It's really hard to get a burn permit. So much fuel on the ground, everyone is scared of fire season this year.
 
Not sure how a buddy's mom made artichokes but they were parmesan crusted and fucking delicious.

*Wife not hungry as she not feeling well. 2 pounds of wings and 12er of day old Budweiser for me. It's really not bad when it hasn't been skunked with temp changes. Buddy brought it by when he grabbed some tinc. Sure why not.
