Thread of What You've Eaten, Cooked and/or Drunk Lately

Dry brine is where it's at. If you all haven't heard of it or already have it, Meathead: The Science of Great BBQ and Grilling is the best grilling book on the planet.

I cooked two birds this year. Wished I took pictures for you guys. Spatchcocked one at 325 on the Big Joe for 2 hours, and then cut the other up into breasts and legs and used the sous vide at 145* for 2.5 hours then threw them on the Joe for another 30 minutes. The best two birds I have ever eaten.

My favorite was the sous vide. I dry brined them with salt for about 20 hours the day before.

Fish and chips (beer battered Alaskan cod. Never made it at home before because the neighborhood pub has the best in Portland--halibut makes a difference-- but they're covid closed)

For my very-special-big-boy day (which is how I always feel when I am obliged to blow candles off a birthday cake carried into the room by my mother), the wife ordered a bunch of farm-grown oysters over-nighted from the Maine Oyster Company:

They were delicious oysters, for sure, but I managed to shuck all 30 by myself without needing stitches, which was the real win.
