discoveries while working until 5 am - Popcorn with fish sauce is the best snack ever.
Cross post but made some fake burnt ends using a chuck roast. 7 hrs on the smoker at 250. Rest for an hour. Toss in bbq sauce and brown sugar and put on a hot charcoal grill in a foil pan for 30-40:

A household favorite here too!
Thanks for the rec - I had never heard of him and he just posted a Cordon Bleu Butternut squash recipe. I have a crapton of Butternut Squash from my garden, I’ll give it a shot.

That is wrong in ways I didn’t know wrong could exist.

I think the funniest (maybe saddest) part is the prepackaged pre shredded probably coated in industrial starch byproduct processed cheese is labeled “farm style”. American consumers really have no concept of what a farm is.

To be clear, they are labeling the way the cheese is cut as “farm style”, compared to regular or fancy shredded cheese. It’s the same cheddar as their block cheese, just with stuff to prevent mold or clumping.
It’s pretty amazing the amount of money people will pay for things like pre-shredded cheese and pre-cut vegetables just so they don’t have to do a little extra kitchen work.

I have so many fond memories from when I grew up on the family farm - milking the cows, feeding the chickens, adding the cellulose based anti caking agent to the shredded cheese. Ah, simpler times indeed.

You do realize it’s a coating added to the cheese after shredding and not part of the cheese making recipe, right?

I won’t buy pre-cut vegetables, but I will pay to avoid using a grater. I use frozen shredded potatoes if I want potato pancakes.
