Top windy to go fish this morning.  Mrds and habit won't let me sleep late so decided to make a real breakfast.  Had some sausage gravy left from B&G supper a few night ago so .  . Couple slices of Hawaiian bread in toaster, gravy reheated, and a couple over easy eggs on top.  Fast easy and delicious.  Plus I have attracted the attention of a couple of border Collies who know I always make a couple extra eggs for them.

A breakfast pizza.  The crust has smoked gouda on it - from a lady at the farmers market yesterday.  The lemon basil pesto was also a find there.  The rest is scrambled eggs from the back yard, red onion, cherry tomatoes (they're good) and mexican cheese.  Cooked it mostly on a preheated stone with maybe the last three minutes directly on the rack.  It's really good with a nice crispy bottom and super flavorful toppings.  Kudos to Lovey on this one.

Had five pounds of honkers I turned into jerky yesterday. I usually make my own jerky marinade/cure, but I wanted to get it done before my weekend trip. I used Hi-Mountain Sweet and Hot. Never again. Absolutely zero flavor on the end product. The cure worked just fine, but it is just bland as can be. It's edible and taste fine, but for the price of the crap I was hoping for actual flavor.

Ground 8 lbs of duck this morning and made maple breakfast sausage--now that is not bland. A+ on that front. It will be turned into biscuits and gravy and breakfast sandwiches for my upcoming goose hunts.

Anybody else have issues with Hi-Mountain sucking?

                Used it some years ago. Not the best. Try Hank Shaw's stuff either in Duck, duck goose or Buck, Buck goose. Follow recipe as close as you can. For the mushroom powder in it I spin up my dehydrated chanterelles in a coffee grinder.

It’s not too bad on whole muscle meat jerky if you let it soak in good and smoke it.  I have not found anything that can make ground meat jerky appealing I do other things - I’m more a fan of sausage for anything I’m going to grind.  I’ve been using a lot of stuff from The Sausage Maker recently.

Oh yea that's all I normally use, but like I said I didn't have 2-3 days to let it soak. Needed to crank it out fast. I won't try and shortcut again.

Yea I can't stand ground meat "jerky." Whole meat or nothing for me. This stuff was just disappointing. Won't be using it again or substituting my usual recipes.
