What Did You Eat Today?

[Geezy]

Do you have any idea how much a person can save by quitting drinking?  The wife was good for 5-7 bottles of $20 wine a week and I would polish off a $45 fifth, twice a week.  Yeah, we were blowing as much as $800 a month on alcohol.... makes me upset just thinking about that.   This isn't uncommon.... I have a nephew who claims he is spending $1,200-$1,500 a month at the bar that he visits at least 5 times a week.  Alcoholism is evil...... and expensive.
So I decided to splurge for the wife and cook her two of her most favorite food items on the planet.... Crab and Lobster.  This is $80 of Seafood, which is a 1/10th of what use to be our monthly alcohol bill.  Feels expensive, but the two Ribeyes I bought for the wife and I this week were $40.
Unfortunately, the brisket won't be ready until about 9pm... So will make a feast of it tomorrow.
 

Congratulations on putting down the booze. That is one of the very few things I’ve never become addicted to and back in the day I practically lived at the bar and I spent seven years working in bars as a bouncer. If I wasn’t working I was drinking. It was a way of life. Heck, I measured mileage on how many beers it took me to get to my destination. My dad was a functioning alcoholic ( after serving in three wars who wouldn’t be) but I had no trouble putting it down whenever I felt the need to. Since I became a carnivore I’ve just lost interest in it altogether. I had a sip of Jameson about a month ago and just dint have the desire to drink it.

The lobster and crab look great. Have you ever tried smoking your lobster? I smoked some Caribbean lobsters a couple of months ago and they were great.

No pics today because we went out to eat. My wife and daughter wanted to meet up for lunch at a cafe in town. It was a little early for me being at 11:00 am but I went ahead and ordered ala cart. 4 eggs, two ham slices and six rashers of bacon. Of course the eggs were probably cooked in seed oils but I’ll live.
It wasn’t a very satisfying meal so later this afternoon I ate some chuck roast swimming in fat. That did the trick.

OMAD for the wife and I....    I had thawed out some Sirloin and today it hit the skillet.

I LOVE my Lodge Grill Pan.....  Highly recommend and not too pricey....

The little one is for the wife.... bahahhahaha

I never used a skillet like that one. Looks interesting.

I ate 4 eggs scrambled with a leg quarter for breakfast. 4 scrambled eggs for lunch. 2 medium sized chuck steaks for supper. 

Pushing the protein content.

Several years ago we received a pan very much like yours (only square in shape) and I was not sure it would get enough use to justify housing it.  Heh.

Since carnivore 2 years ago, that pan now doesnt even leave the stove top!  It is my favorite daily go-to pan!!

Slow smoked pork butt for me today.

Nice.

We did pork belly this weekend. It is something about that gut meat.

Funny some of the things we learned and have since re-learned.

When we cook pigs (now the current term is 'whole hog' (which sounds so commercial to me) the belly meat has always been referred to as the 'heart-a-stroke' section of the pig. My favorite part is the fattiness and now since carnivore that is a 'thing'. 

I balance it out with my second favorite part, the tongue. 

And since I was a kid (still am at times) my favorite thing to do with a pig is built a sandwich stacked with jaw meat, the tongue and belly meat. I didn't use bread, it just got in the way. Straight meat/fat pile.

And now it is good for me to eat like that. Whooda thunk it?

This is my version of “Whole Hog”.
