I have a good news for you. Very good, in fact. Just keep it as dark as possible - 72% as the lowest, and preferably 85% and higher. If it's too bitter for you, give it a few days - taste buds get retrained quickly if you give them a chance.

Scientific research over the past few decades has begun to shed light on the potential health benefits of dark chocolate.

You may remember my fun project from last summer - little book about flavored butters. Well, expecting out-of-town guest I've decided to treat her to one of the most luxurious variations: butter with smoked salmon, lemon zest, smoked paprika, ginger powder, and parsley.
Man, I want to be my guest!

Pickled ginger, kids. Meat is not the only thing I can cook - just one I enjoy the most.

The end. Taken off the heat at 203F, rested for an hour and sliced. Smokiest and crunchiest and juiciest brisket ever.

Not a bad view to wake up to, eh?
183F, just as planned. About 15-20 degrees more to the last part, namely - eating

Part two. Brisket has been moved from charcoal smoker to a pellet one. First photo shows meat side up, second - fat cap up, as I flipped it when moving. Now it's overnight cook, with check.in the morning. If my calculations are right, I should wake up to 170-180 F internal temperature

Another ambitious multi-hour multi-device cook. Brisket about 15 lbs. Plan is to smoke on mix of charcoal and wood on Masterbuilt for 4-5 hours at 250F, then move it to Pitboss pellet grill for the overnight smoke at 225F. If everything goes as planned, it should reach 195-300 internal temperature by noon or earlier.
First part has started. To be continue.

Let's make a drug for weight loss. Oops - too much of muscle mass is lost as a result. So what, let's make a drug for muscle gain, and take them together. Problem solved!
Any doubt that these cute little problem-solvers will run into new problem new drug, and will come up with third one to solve that?

No comments needed, this king of cuts speaks for itself.
