I've seen that Dr Pepper recipe - will have to give it a try. I used the Meat Church recipe. Didn't use a dehydrator though. Put the meat on my Weber SmokeFire with SmokeBoost (200F or below) for about 2 hrs (and used regular paprika instead of smoked). I have another batch in the oven now at 170F to see the difference.
I typically smoke my jerky for a few hours then put it in the dehydrator! Can’t beat it
What I have noticed is that many of us who dabble in wine, beer, spirits also dabble in cooking, building stuff, gardening, etc.
Masters of none, but Jacks of all trades. We do not "farm out" the simple things. Meaning we are "survivalists" "preppers" in the most kind terms.

Nope, we are all "builders". Most of us simply enjoy making stuff.
I crockpotted a pork shoulder on Saturday - we like pulled pork, and having cooked pork on hand makes for easy meals. Sunday I made enchiladas (lots of leftovers!) and wanted something different last night, so I made ham bow, steamed buns stuffed with pork. The original recipe calls for Chinese roast pork, but pulled pork with extra barbecue sauce works fine.
You did use CORN tortillas didn't you? And what recipe? Those "Ortega" style (hehe kidding) or from scratch?
agree. Better word than I used.
Nice day for grilling, flat iron steak on sale so did some grilled beef fajitas.
Well its been a minute. My days are lacking hours lately. I take my pics and sit on the couch and that's it. No effort left to post. So tonight is gonna be a catch up post.
Nitrite free home brined and smoked ham
Sweet and sour meatballs
Fried chicken
Beer battered cod!
If you have the deep fryer out.. Might as well make the best of it.
I saw these on a netflix food show. No way I am going to stumble across them so I had to try em. Deep fried mac and cheese balls.
And something to cut the fat.. And I should note. I am not super human. There are a couple of deep fryer nights in the mix.

I would be remiss were I to leave out the scallops.
How many people are you feeding at each of these meals????
What "meals?" Vinny was just whipping up a snack for when he's watching the "Flames."
The ham I had company over and I unloaded leftovers on them. The rest is for 2.
Lunch today is fried chicken and mac and cheese balls. Very little goes to waste, what we don't get to the dog is grateful to assist with!
I will admit, the mussels almost put me into as coma. 
Found some fire sale lamb loin chops. Marinaded in some garlic, rosemary and oil. Cooked to 130*F away from the bone. Was pretty rare at the bone, but extremely tender. Served with some hot salsa verde on top, with a side salad and some home made blue cheese dressing (thanks @ibglowin). The carb of the day was beer, imagine that on a Saturday afternoon.
Chicken paprikas, another childhood favorite, served on homemade egg dumplings.
About 20 years ago I tried to make it healthier by not using lard or sour cream or heavy cream and I removed the skin from the chicken. It sucked.
