You need to come out west and spend a little time eating your way through the Mexican cuisine encyclopedia here in the San Joaquin Valley! Some of the best Mexican food in the world, including Mexico! San Joaquin Valley, LA, Houston are top of the list, outside of Mexico.

My only saving grace with being able to cook regularly is having 3 teenagers in the house. These meals don't last more than a day, lol! It doesn't last long and keeping expense down is paramount! Thankfully, many of these dishes are not up to the refined pallet of a hungry 16yo used to eating hot pockets and cereal at their convenience, lol! So the fancier it is, the more for momma and I!

Been less than 100 miles north of there a few times. 34 years ago Mrs. & I circled north & west to the coast from Yosemite. Passed thru Chico. Had the best Fajitas [the beef!] We still try to duplicate that experience. mike

New Mexico has a lot of good Mexican food also. Green chili in almost everything! While working in El Paso 6 years ago is where I learned of machaca with brisket. There was a food truck set up every morning outside the gates of the construction site. Selling burritos and bollillo roll sandwiches. Once a week she would have machaca burritos. A local guy that I worked with told me that machaca was traditionally made with dried beef, but most people locally were now using fresh brisket.

I've never had walleye, closest place for me to catch it is in Nevada. I don't buy non-resident fishing licenses, so I can only go on what I hear. Being a white, flakey meat, I suspect tacos would be par for the course. I like to use black cod in that role.

Simple but delicious. Homegrown sweet corn, not roundup ready herbicide treated. Tomatoes and lettuce from the garden as well. Bacon from the store as we haven't raised any hogs in 40 years.

Bacon by request, Got these "Country style boneless ribs" for slow cooking w/sauerkraut. Pretty easy to roast to tender also. Best Part is only $1.69 a pound. I've been using this cut to brine then smoke for Bacon. Works pretty well. This batch is an experiment with only 1% salt brine by weight.

 

[Ringostar]

I’ve done a lot of country style ribs, either smoked or crockpot. I’ve never thought of brining and treating like bacon. Thanks for another idea! I made a large pot of a pasta dish on Thursday, plus a loaf of homemade bread. This morning we used a lot of the bread for French toast.

 

[mikeinct]

Unsmoked too is great use [Think Pancetta] in White sauce pasta dishes. Those cuts can also be trimmed & made into a Bodacious Pork Milanaise cutlet sandwich. Oh How I love Veal & pork Milanaise

 

[mikeinct]

Pretzels hot out of the oven. Soft type, quicker new method. Baked at higher temp, less time, Butter n Salt applied... Hot Hot Hot....

I do this often. Cut it up into small cubes or slices for making with eggs but primarily use for larger chucks in beans.
My recipe is:

• 1 gallon water
• 2/3 cup sea salt
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp pink salt

Brine for 5-7 days. smoke it for about 8 hrs on low heat with a couple of pans. Take out when it gets to 150 deg in center.
