Lollipop chicken and Brussels with cabbage 

Brisket from about a month ago 

pork butts 

I can’t get the pic to upload but I did a brisket   Yesterday in a completely different way and it turned out great. I usually just do 225 and let it go till it’s done. Occasionally I will wrap in foil or butcher paper if necessary. 

This time I cooked it at 325 for 2 hours till the  temp hit 141. Then put it on a baking rack in an aluminum pan covered in foil for 2 hours when the temp reached 203 in the thickest part. 
Then I separated the point from the flat and put the flat in a cooler to rest. I put the point back on for about 1:30 min at 225 for the burnt ends. 
Basically the cook lasted about 5.5 hours compared to my normal 12-15 hour cook. 
The pros were that the brisket was the most tender and most juicy that I’ve ever made. 
Cons it had less bark and less smoke. 
I think next time I am going to try to put it on the smoker at 225 and then put it in a pan when it reaches 141 and turn it up to 325 to kind of do a combination of both methods.

I made my 3rd loaf of quarantine banana bread yesterday. I finally tried Chrissy Teigen's recipe and it was by far my favorite. I left out the coconut tho (🤮).

I also had some ricotta that was about to go bad, so I made lasagna roll ups and they were great. The bonus: wayyy less work than my traditional lasagna. 

I'm going to make Disney's grilled cheese sometime in the next few days.

Did my first tomahawk ribeye yesterday.  Smoked it at 225° for about an hour and a half until an internal temp of 120°.  Then reverse seared it about 3 minutes a side.  Turned out amazing.  It was about 3" thick.

Made mozzarella stuffed meatballs with some extra ground beef and pork I needed to use. They were v good. 

Made two batches of these Rice Krispies Treats and they're the best I've had. I'm on a no-bake dessert kick due to laziness.

Did a spur-of-the-moment tri-tip on the smoker last weekend ....not too shabby.  Also smoked some trout filets and made a fantastic dip.

I've rediscovered eggo waffles with butter and syrup.  Good lord those are good!

Made jalapeño poppers for the 4th with the peppers I’ve been growing all year. Probably a little early to have picked them, but oh well. Tasty af. Plant has about 50 fruits growing, plus more buds.

Nice. I'm really pissed at myself for not getting a garden in this year.

I was lucky that I got my seeds before the shut down.
