Not as photogenic as my other pie but I did make a wonky sunflower on top

While camping out last night I snared a male possum while aiming for coon. Figured there’s a first time for everything so I , butchered, cleaned and made a roast of it and rendered the fat for later. It was p good but gamey of course. Possum meat is fairly soft and the texture is fairly similar to summer coon.

Snare it with a foot trap. Say a prayer to St. Hubert then take it out humanely with .22 (9mm nakes too much of a mess with game yhis small). Check for ticks, rabies or infestation. If you have time submerge in water for a while to soften the flesh bc the fur will come off easy.

Clean and quarter and put it in a Dutch oven camp pot with with a paste covering it of salt, pepper, hot sauce, Cajun seasoning, Worcestershire sauce and light molasses

Roast about 3 hours on your campfire. Baste frequently and make some biscuits or potato along with it. Save the brown rendered fat for rind

The secret ingredient is love. And homemade roasted bone broth.

Fighting your food counts as seasoning it with its own sweat:

Same as above:

@Penny

ty @DrDoctorMD for the sauce idea

The sauce i ended up going with was gochujang, soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, butter, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar, and it was phenomenal. Smoky, sweet, tangy, honestly something I'd expect to find at a legit wing place.

I was really impressed with the air fried wings. Once they're sauced I'm not sure I'd be able to tell them apart from deep fried wings side by side.

The fries are just frozen slop nothing special.

Souf FC don't deserve Greggs

Went to Moab diner during our trip north, was pretty decent depending on what you get.

I ordered the #2 pancakes with sausage patties and eggs over medium. The pancakes were dry and kinda bland, and the eggs were more easy than medium. To be honest I would skip the #2.

Someone else got the #1 with hashbrowns, ham, English muffin, and scrambled eggs. They accidentally served over easy (cooked unevenly) instead, but was painlessly replaced. The other person said the ham was awesome and the hashbrowns were great, the scrambled eggs were vastly better than the over easy/medium as well.

The third person got #5 (The days special) "Sweetwater Skillet" and said it was pretty good, they didn't have much to add.

The place was packed, we went on a Saturday at about 10 am and every seat was sat and it took about 15 min to be seated. Everyone was working like a machine, so things moved quickly.

Overall the food was a mixed bag, I think the meats and scrambled eggs were very good, however the pancakes and eggs over medium were mediocre at best, bland at worst.

Imo if you are here to get the meats or potato sides, I think you would be pretty satisfied. However if you wanted good pancakes, or eggs over easy/medium, I would look elsewhere.

7/10, not enough chicken chunks. Rice is basmati but yellowish from cooking in the same pot.

do you like my color coded veggies?

Sauce is bibigo hot and spicy Korean bbq sauce

I heard somewhere that a man in his 30s will either become obsessed with fixing shit in his house or smoking meats. Smoking meats sounded like it aligned with my interests

As luck would have it I found a reasonably sized brisket for a decent price. Gave it the ol' rub n' tug with spices and then got the grill ready. I have a nice Weber kettle grill and decided to use mesquite wood chips which I soaked and spread over the hot coals. Slapped my meat on the grill and spent the next 5 hours or so letting it do its thing at 250 degrees, wrapping it the last hour.

I think it turned out really good for my first go. Brisket was mayyyyybe a touch dry, but not too bad and really tasty. With winter coming around I think I found myself a good reason to stay outside and drink on those nice warmer days.

Yes I know I need to buy wine glasses, it's on my to-do list :(

The fried rice is homemade, the chicken katsu was bought from a Japanese market. Bae really outdid herself

Had to use sourdough bread since 0.5 lb beef doesn't fit on a normal bun.

Top-Down Order: bread, grilled chopped onions, grilled chopped jalapeños, shredded cheddar, seasoned beef, guacamole, Trader Joe's secret sauce, bread
