Super Bowl Giveaway: 10-Pound Box of Pat LaFrieda Sliders
Babysitting my niece and nephew... maybe with a football game playing in the background.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Korin Knife
8" Global. My only (relatively) expensive knife.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box
I like shoulder. Carnitas were a revelation for me.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: The Sriracha Lover's Ultimate Gift Pack
Rice. Rice is good with sriracha.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Korin Knife
I have one Global 8" chef's knife I got for Christmas a couple years ago. Definitely my favorite.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Filet Mignon Roast from Pat LaFrieda Meats
Ribeye here, though I don't hate on filet like so many other beefeaters.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box
I cooked a pork loin with a sugary, mustardy coating in the oven about five years ago. It was a completely random, no-recipe thing, but the coating caramelized on the outside and the pork was delicious and succulent. To this day I've not been able to duplicate it.
Giveaway: Win a Free All-Natural Bell & Evans Turkey from Pat LaFrieda
I'm dying to confit up some turkey gizzards. Mmmm....
Cook the Book: 'Ruhlman's Twenty'
proper seasoning

I have no favorite cup, I just use whatever is large and clean.
No-Waste Tacos de Carnitas with Salsa Verde
I love the method, and the results were succulent, flavorful pork. Unfortunately, the cinnamon was too upfront for my tastes, and I think I'll omit it next time I make them.
Is Goat the Hot New Meat?
I never ate goat before a couple of years ago, when my Mom started raising them. Now I eat it all the time. I like it pretty much however - braised, roasted, made into itty-bitty steaks, even ground up as burger or sausage. The reactions I get from people when I tell them I eat it surprise me, since it's become as normal to me as beef.
My Latest Obsession: Pork Floss, Chinese Cotton Candy-esque Dried Pork
@puddlepublic: They still sell it in Michigan at most party stores. I was wondering if it was the same. If so... way cheaper in the Asian grocery then in the 7-11.
A quick google search also turned up: http://www.beefjerkychew.com/
A Better Leg Of Lamb
I did leg of lamb using Kenji's method recently (even asked a similar question to yours about it). Mine was on the bone, but it turned out great. People made similar recommendations about grilling,etc, but I honestly don't think it could have been any better. I just rubbed it all over with salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. I've cooked Leg of Lamb on several occasions, and it has never been more tender or tasty.
CSA's
@omnomnom: Saginaw Meadows is the name of the CSA I joined. They sell out pretty quick, and you have to do pickups in Saginaw. I live in Saginaw, so that's no real problem for me.
Is This a Worry?
What's wrong with meat glue? I've long considered trying to get my hands on a sample of Activia Transglutaminase to try out some meat gluing myself.
