Yep. Way too $ nowadays. What are beef prices like up in Maryland nowadays? Recently I got some of the best ribeyes I've ever seen for 4$/lb. But that's in Houston.

Something that I like to do occasionally is to hit 7 or 8 dashes of hot sauce on either side of a steak. Allow the steak to get to room temp then toss it on the grill. Simple and hits the spot if you want a little spice.

Anyone have any experience with So. Md. Stuffed ham? Remember really liking that dish when I was there and I'd like to try it out myself.

I thought I saw kobe just roll by shaq.

Super.. I thought it was a better, darker version of kickass.

Calls haven't gone in our way the first half. The bounces have. Me at the beginning of the game: "that Carlos boozer looking ass dude is going to be a problem"

What a brutal bracket the terps are in. I could see uconn, kansas, md, or cal making noise.

Yeah it would be great if MD blew teams out and it would help them in tourney seating. But 20-3? I'll take it. This team still has time to reach a very high ceiling. I imagine the team will come together a bit more over the next few weeks and we'll see some blowouts.

I waited on this review because i normally like slow movies with "boring" buildups to a tense ending but i found myself often wondering when the movie would end. Everyone is saying this is a great, epic, bear scene 10/10 movie. It is an above average movie with the window dressing of a great movie. This is a pretty movie. The snow and blood contrast (and there is a lot of it) is great. The landscape is gorgeous. The CGI was impressive at times. The camerman was annoying and pretentious. Constant views of the camera pointing upward at trees and ****. Overly long, jerk me off pans of the scenery. It took me out of the movie. These things are supposed to add to the movie and keep the viewer immersed; they did not for me. The acting wasnt nearly as good as everyone thinks. Leo was miscast. He just didnt fit as a fur trading frontiersman survivalist and their wasnt a lot for him to work with other than screams of pain. Hardy didnt convinve me as a villian. A lot of his actions as well as the general's didnt involve logic. I wasnt buying the father-son relationship, consequently i didnt really care about the son's murder or the revenge plot. I was rolling my eyes at Leo's surviving and traveling all that way after such a brutal bear attack. Likely sub zero temps, infection probably all over, no food or water, a long way to travel. yeah... no. However, I had no doubt that Leo would somehow survive and avenge his son's murder. Boring. Why do trailers ruin parts of the movie? I wasnt worried about the Indians chasing Leo because I knew from the trailer that he would ride his horse off a cliff. Stupid. This movie had A List written all over it. Producers, actors, camermen, etc, but the characters were uninteresting/unbelievable and the movie moved slowly from one boring/predictable scene to another with not enough interesting action to pull me along. The things that this movie got wrong were the things that Apacalypto got right: -the main villian was pretty threatening -i cared a whole lot more about Jaguar Paw finding his family because more effort was put into their development -they had a great (for the time) jaguar scene and an awesome extended chase -i figured Jaguar Paw would succeed and save his family but there were many legitimate obstacles he had to overcome to do so. he wasnt invincible. -the deaths of Jaguar Paw's friends and enemies were immersive and well directed. Ill give it a 7/10. Go watch Unforgiven if you want a slow burning tense revenge flick.

Did not like this movie as much as everyone else.. will post why later.

That stone kid is something.

Michigan has made pretty much everything since I've been watching

Got to see most of the MD - unc game. Though we lost, I thought we had the team with more talented players. I agree with many that Mds 2 ranking was too high but this team could easily make a run in the tournament.

I would agree. 203 was the first one I did (fell asleep and actually worried I overcooked it) and it was perfect. It really turns gelatin like at that temp.Both shoulders were received very well. I think the wrap did its job and raised it a few degrees or so. The bone in side of the shoulder seem to cook about 10 degrees slower imo. Have to put that part closer to the fire next time. Brisket seems to be another animal. I can't keep my smoker temp consistent enough atm to do a brisket. It's an offset smoker and I really have to babysit it. Check it every 45 mins and add wood/coal. Have aaverage just under 2 bags each of charcoal/wood so far for a shoulder smoke. Highly suggest hens stuffed with boudin to go along with whatever you're smoking. One of the best things I've ever eaten.

Nice. People hate on turkey but it is really good when cooked properly.

Smoked 2 pork shoulders and some boudin stuffed cornish hens last night. The hens were one of the best things I've ever eaten. Definitely recommend it. I was preparing the pork for others and am concerned about 1 shoulder because it only hit around 188 on the bone in side (the non bone side was 200 and like jelly). I wrapped it in foil in hopes that the residual cooking will bump it up at least 5 degrees. That is a safe assumption, correct? I told him to put it in the oven for an hour at 280 or so and it should fall apart at that point.

Perhaps many Americans have forgotten that this nation was founded by immigrants who left bad situations to seek a better future. We need to welcome refugees with open arms and allow a path to citizenship. By doing so we will gain a large populace of people who respect and cherish what was done for them when they were in a time of need. We do need to vet refugees but a year long process or more is absolutely absurd. Will there be terrorist incidents in the future from allowing many refugees into the states? it is probable and in my opinion, likely, but that doesnt mean we should cower in fear over the probability of something bad happening when there is so much good that can be done in the meantime. I disagree with the majority of posters on this board on most political issues, but i feel this issue is one that Americans from far left to far right should agree upon.

Good point. mine were about 9 oz a piece so 1 is plenty for me. OK they were pretty solid so I ate both. Time for a nap. Will be grabbing those puppies again soon.

Any of you ever cook chuck eye cuts? I nabbed them at the store tonight because they looked so good. And less than 6$/lb.

I watched Dead Alive this weekend. terrible and hilarious movie. One of Peter jacksons first movies. I laughed nonstop through the preacher scene.

From what I read the 1-2 hrs per pound is really off for the smaller cuts. They're about just as thick as the bigger cuts so they require almost the same time.I did have trouble keeping the temp consistent (first time wood smoking) so that prolly delayed it, but I do think the meat stalled early @ around 145°. After smoking for 9 hours I put it I'm the oven at 260° and took it out for a rest 3 hours later. Internal temp of 203°. After an hour of rest I pulled it and it felt apart like butter. Just about perfect.

Pork is safe to eat at 145 (recently flopped from 160)For pork shoulder (aka pork butt) you really need to get it over 190 though or it will be tough and nearly impossible to pull (aka pulled pork). As a poster aforementioned, 170° is a good temp for sliced pork shoulder. Pork tenderloin is the one you Cook near 145-160.

Smoking a pork shoulder for the first time on my offset wood grill. Been smoking about 7 hours (small shoulder 3.5 lbs) now but can't seem to get the internal temp above 140. Keeping the smoking temp at 225 is tricky and my smoker seems to like 240. There is definitely an art to this but I haven't got it figured out yet.

Saw some people bashing bill obrien (texans hc) last week in the camp thread and I just chuckled. They started their 4th string QB last year and still went 9-7. That guy is a good coach.

Do you still play? Or anyone for that matter? I started in February and have had a lot of fun with this game, havent touched the xbox1 since. The game can get quite competitive and requires a bit of strategy. I'm a mid town hall 8 right now and my clan is 70-6 in war.
