Thank you Devo, I must master Dry cured meats before I join anymore forums or atleast make a decent product. I have saved the site for future reference.

I smoke cheese quite often, most recently it was Sam's Club cheapo mild cheddar. I did it before Christmas.
We broke it out for our 25th anniversary party Saturday (along with pulled pork, smoked brisket, cured and smoke pork loin, tater salad, and cole slaw). 5 pounds of cheese, 60 people, I didn't even get a slice :cry: Must have been good.

Have you smoked the extra sharp Tillamook? I love it unsmoked, but have not tried smoking a batch yet.

Hi W1SBY,
I have not smoked the Tillamook sharp Cheddar yet. I like the milder cheeses but the wife likes sharper so next time I suppose I should do a block for her. She already has names on the packages to who she is giving my cheese to in her family.
I made about 5 pounds of Smoked Salmon one time, Same thing, wifes family came over and I did not get a bite. Its all good, they told me how delicious it was :mrgreen:

I can see that some of us think along similar lines. I used to make cheese many years ago
but work pressures took care of continuing it.
Now, when I am nearly over the hill I am interested again as my daughter has taken a cheese making course with wonderful results.
We definitely need a cheese section on this forum however small.
Regards,
Jan.

Oviously your method is working as that is some fine looking cheese.
Not to try to fix something that is not broken but maybe you mite try just leaving the door open and not worring about the ice.
Use a towel or pillow case for the door. :roll: :mrgreen:
How long did you smoke the cheese and i know that pellets have a stronger smoke then sawdust or plain wood pcs. How does the biscuts stand??

Thanks Exausted Spark. Good idea on the towel for a door. The bisquettes produce a medium to heavy smoke, "Medium Well".

Chicken pot pie

Post by DLFL » Tue Mar 13, 2012 00:32

Hardee's has been running their chicken pot pie commercial for a couple weeks. I really like chicken pot pie and had a short work day so made one for supper.

Very nice work! Do you ever use chicken fat in the pastry?

That is a beautiful specimen!!! :grin: I, too, really like chicken pot pies. Made my first a couple week ago using the recipe off of Cook's Illustrated website. I was ok, ate 'em all. I need a better recipe. I learned you can take everything you used to make that bad boy and divide it between 6 twelve-ounce baking dishes for individual pot pies. Cook 'em all at once and don't bother freezing any of them because they aren't around long enough. :mrgreen:

I have not used chicken fat in the dough before. I do put some butter in it though. My wife ate 1/4 of the pie and she is usually a light eater.

Hey DLFL, Looks great! Chicken pot pie is on my favorite list. My scout troop makes them on campouts occasionally. They are baked in cast iron dutch ovens over charcaol. The boys love making them and eating them too. We use biscuit mix for a crust. How did you make your crust? Looks yummy!...Nice job!

Dick if you freeze the flour and refrigerate the chicken fat and work quickly so the fat doesn't melt before you add the water it makes a very tender crust. Chicken fat will start to melt in flour off the pantry shelf.

Just finished making some smoked mortadella and a friend told me about Muffaletta sandwiches. Never heard of it but it sounded interesting so I thought I'd give it a try.

Recipe is simple enough. What I used was about a 50/50 mix of black and green olives chopped with a bunch of parsley, teaspoon of capers, 1/2 cup of olive oil, TBS of wine vinegar and lemon juice. Rest was just lettuce and provolone cheese with the mortadella.

Anyhow, this is what it looked like and I'll definitely be making these again.
