• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Plans for today (2026)

That’s a bargain Barriehie.

The pork butt is now sliced and diced, cooking pork stew with coconut juice right now. Butt is 10 lbs, so lots of white meat, one bone is in the freezer. Another large container of cubed pork butt, two medium containers of pork(the fattier part) marinated, to be taken out sometime in the future for grilling, and 2 small containers with bacon-ish bits(the fattest meat), diced very small, I salted them, to be used as pancetta or bacon bits.

I just made a hole in the freezer for mine. That's a -lot- of meat for me and Pippi. Probably make a GG's thing with some of it...
 
The sun was finally out this morning, so I threw some baby back ribs on the smoker. Then my wife and I watched the latest episode of Landman (a good one!), then we took the dogs for a walk, then I spent some more time reloading ammo, then we had snow squalls and 50 mph gusts that sent me chasing my trash cans down the street again, then I brought more firewood up to the house, then I did some minor maintenance and repairs at one of our rental properties for an older tenant, and then we went grocery shopping. Next, I need to log in and catch up on some things at work before Monday morning rolls around. The weekends fly by way too quickly...
