Missed these.
Yes, food grade. It gets put in the water bath so I can lower the temperature with ice without diluting the brine.Brinig in a plastic bag ???
Hot smoke for about 10 hours.BTW -hot or cold smoke? Never heard of smoked turkey legs
Those are popular here as well.Smoked cod, herring, reindeer is more natural up here...
My favourite season even though last year, I found out why you have to pay attention to the instructions and not skimp on the pre-cooking. Nasty bit of work that toxin is.Fiddlehead season is here
Awesome, but they are all gone. I usually do at least one batch a year.Cal How did the turkey legs turn out?

World's Most Destructive Food Revealed
Ok all you foodies, I recently became aware of this and thought I would let you all know. Like me, many of you not only love food, but you also seem concerned about eating good, healthy food.
At a recent health and nutrition conference, a Doctor gave a lecture about what foods are most detrimental to our health. He started by discussing how industrial meat is full of toxins, dies, hormones, etc. and then moved onto the subject of refined sugar, and of course he talked at length about trans-fat's link to cancer.
But then he stated that there is one food that makes all of these other foods pale in comparison. He said that this food, after only taking a few bites, has lasting effects that can alter your life more than you can imagine. He then asked the audience "Does anyone here today know what that food is?"
A gentleman about 70-years old put up his hand, and when asked for his answer, he quietly said....
Wedding cake.

chowing down for lunch on yummy leftovers from last night
Quinoa, Tofu, Carrot, Zucchini& Broccoli in Thai peanut sauce - actually not as horrible as it sounds
who am I'm trying to kid? it has all the flavour (none) and nutrition (apparently lots) you'd think
there is a less polite way to say it - what a guy does to preserve connubial bliss

I bet that's actually pretty amazing. Peanut sauce is severely underrated. And yes, I share the same relationship requirements. All you need is a little Sriracha, maybe some ginger and a little soy. Or if you are adventerous, fish sauce.
I could make that taste great.
still at work today, so while a nice bottle of Cab-Sav can fix most low spiced Vegan dishes, alas that'll have to wait til this evening
, a shot of hooch
Cal, you don't actually drink 151 straight? My fave which is long gone was Rhum St. James 106, nothing like bananas flambeed in it over vanilla ice cream as desert.

The meal may contain 'all the nutrition' but it won't necessarily deliver it to the body.
Tofu (soy) contains enzymes which stop the body from taking up vitamins and others (or may be the same) which are oestrogen analogues.
I have heard that one cup of soy milk has an effect on the male body similar to taking one birth-cotrol pill.
The labour-intensive traditional ways of making tofu and soy sauce break down some of those enzymes but modern, industrial processes do not.
Soy in any form should not be consumed regularly by anybody.

That is absolute nonsense. The phytoestrogens have little to no effect on most people, a negative effect on a very few people, and a positive effect on a very few people. See Heather Patisaul's superb work in this area. A good start is her review in Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology, 31 (2010) 400–419.
Why sure I do Scott, I have no other use for my taste buds 🙂Cal, you don't actually drink 151 straight?
Actually, I buy it as a preservative. Or that's what I tell my wife.
I like the safety precautions ie: the flame arrestor on the top.
Smoked Groundhog last weekend. Dry (too early in the season?) but palatable. Not something I expect to cook again. The next ones get relocated.
I smoked a pork butt and some salmon as well. Salmon got vacuum sealed and frozen. I need to pull the pork and package it.

151 and Sambuca make a good chaser. 151 and Geldwasser is called a "Goldfinger". and you can ignite 151 and crème de menthe for a "flaming arrow"

I wonder if you could brine it to get the moisture into it?

Works for snowshoe hares. Very well, in fact.
