You can use any dried fruit, i like them a lot with dried mango and bourbon.
This is the best resource on the net i've found. Nearly all of Les's recipes make sense, and the few mistakes show.

Quoted from Bax1:sounds pretty good. surprised have to add more fat to the pork shoulder. the shoulder I used had a nice fat cap on it making it nice and juicy.
Just do it by eye or rough weights. You want tween 20-30% fat.
Quoted from punkin:Yeah, just untangle enough for your needs for the day. Leave the others in the slat.
To turn them inside out you turn the end out a little, then start filling them from a slow running tap. They slowly turn them selves inside out.
The little girl in the first picture looks thrilled! 
Quoted from Spyderturbo007:The little girl in the first picture looks thrilled!
She'd been practicing being a teen by copying her sister that's sitting next to her there.
Too young for cynical boredom, but kids will mimic what they think is cool.
Quoted from Bax1:Simple fettuccine alfredo for dinner tonight

Damn if I could just pair that with the Pork Picatta I just finished making.....
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Is there a better drunk food then pizza?
No !
Are you drunk ?
Quoted from punkin:Always been interested in cheese as it's a logical fermentation extension for me. Trouble being i don't eat it except on pizza.
The impetus for me is my daughter was interested and asked me to make some for her so she could see how it's done. I also like to know what's going into my food. I've been thinking of getting into sausage, and i've done cured pork twice and it came out great. Food is a great hobby, as its fun and you get to eat your work.
Quoted from jester523:How did you crisp up that thigh? Looks amazing. Also laguiole steak knife?
Air fryer.
Cut out the bone and flatten with a mallet.
Sprinkle mushroom powder on the bottom and then place in air fryer and sprinkle kosher salt on skin side. Cool 400 for 15-18 minutes. Made it again tonight. I prep 8 at a time, we eat four for dinner and then I’ll
have more for lunch.

Half ounce of good buds and half ounce of shake. Just about a 1 pound stick of butter and a cup of water. Was going to use a couple boxes of premix brownies but think I'm going to make them from scratch. We'll see how motivated I'll be later. Might let it cool and make them in the morning
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Giant pot of chili on the stove

I want to do this, but 90 degrees and 100% humidity ain't the right weather for it. It will eventually be here though.
You could always use a crock pot and put it in the garage, basement, deck, etc... I cooked the meat and onions early so it's just simmering and not making too much heat. Made too much to fit in the crock pot. Wife wasn't pleased when I started it this morning.

Quoted from punkin:Looks like a tasty, well balanced meal to me.
I mostly eat deep fried, processed shit. Even though i can cook very well.
Thanks. My wife is gluten free, egg free, dairy free, sugar free (PITA), so I struggle with ideas for meals and it can feel boring sometimes. But my 4 year old ate her string beans first, without complaint or prompting, and that's my reward for cooking her healthy meals everyday. She did put ketchup on her steak though...

I do make it in a crock pot. It's just the weather. Chili when it's hot just doesn't feel right. For me, it's a cooler weather meal.
Quoted from jester523:This is pretty much what I eat most days. A meat and two veggies. I need to start getting more creative...
That's the sort of thing I eat to keep the weight off. Flavor it right and you don't feel like your missing out on anything. When I get creative, I start gaining weight.

are you doing low fodmap? my wife is on that one and I have to get creative to make it taste good and still be healthy.
Quoted from Bax1:are you doing low fodmap? my wife is on that one and I have to get creative to make it taste good and still be healthy.
She is not. I didn't know what that is, but I asked her and she said for IBS or gut issues? She just feels better when she doesn't eat certain things. My diet is close to hers for convenience reasons, but I still eat whatever I want, we just don't have lots of those ingredients in the house. It can make cooking feel like a grind sometimes though, and I miss the days where i could just order a pizza for dinner...
Quoted from punkin:Making it up as i go along, but no bake cooking.
NutriGrain cereal smashed, melted marshmallow with orange chocolate butter and maple syrup, salted caramel flavouring, pop rocks etc.

It's in the fridge setting, more pics to come.
Sounds like diabetes in a bowl. Lol

Cured my diabetes with diet and exercise.
It's all about portion control ask anyone who's nearly drowned. Everything is good for you in small enough doses. Too much of anything will kill you.

Grilling, smoking, getting creative with spices all add flavor without calories…
