Smoked a pork shoulder today.

10 hours at 225 F, with apple wood. Hmmm was it good.

The sirloin of beef looks awesome!

I've been introduced to a new method of cooking, "Sous Vide", I have never made a better filet.
Restaurants here went sous vide crazy, doing everything that way wether it improved things or not.
To be honest i just try to do things simply but well :lol:
 
Chris, that first post of yours was absolutely fantastic and that Black Forest Cake!!!!! Mom would make one around the Holidays. No German-style restaurants around here unfortunately. Back in Ill-Noise we used to go to the Bier Stube in Peotone which had excellent German dishes.
The Spaetzle I'm used to is the small dumpling style. Every once in a while we'll do Rouladen (Schwein Decke as mom called it). Can't remember the last time I had Red Cabbage
 
As a foodie I take pictures of everything I eat...
