I hope everyone’s Easter was great. We had a nice gathering where everyone managed to gain more weight in one day than they had gained or lost in the last week. That was just from the aroma.
We had the Sweet and Tangy Ham again. It has become something of a hit with the family. I [...]

It was commented by Seriouswriter (a contributor here), sometime ago, that I should try coating a ham with a 50/50 mixture of brown sugar and mustard. Being distracted by all life has had to offer, it has taken all this time to give it try.
Last night we had some family over for dinner and I [...]

I’ve gone on and on about the different ways to smoke meat. Finally, I am going to have to pick one and write about it.
So here we go.
First of all, I am most familiar with using a brine to cure and flavor the meat. In a bit of research about what is out there [...]

In a recent poll of sane people reading the title of this article the most common response was, “Huh”.
I am normally sane and I do not usually mix math, philosophy, and cooking in my titles, but it somehow seemed right.

As we continue looking at some spices I use in my cooking, and the companies behind them, I am taken back to my time in the Meat Department. Quite a bit of what I learned about meat comes from that time, including my experience with Vecchi’s Seasonings.

Cooking is like any other bit of art. Whether made with paint or music, the artist is the ingredient that differentiates between one piece of work and another.

Maybe in your browsing through the meat case you’ve noticed a roast for sale dressed with Porketta seasoning. Or maybe you’ve noticed Porketta seasoning being sold for your own use. ‘Porketta, what’s that taste like?’, you say to yourself as you grab some other candidate for dinner.
