    The nearest Kroger affiliate is across the border in Bellingham. The border is still closed. But the grocery store I'm going to today has brisket on. Forget the price per lb. Decided to be a big spender and get a T-bone at the butcher shop. I might get a prime rib there as well for Sunday.

    Very few things you can buy will improve your grilling/smoking/Q skills.

    The thermopen. When I moved to Texas and got serious about Q, I learned quickly that time and temp only get you so far, but you really need a good meat thermometer for making sure you hit the right temps.

    Ah okay, the way you phrased it I got a bit confused. I don't need to spend the money, but the one I was using crapped out already. So I've spent at least $30 if not more on several over the years, especially the last few. Figured it was worth getting something that lasts, fast and accurate.

    Store was out of Briskets, must be a good sale. I picked up some steaks. Butcher shop was closed by the time I got there. Ended up taking out fish and chips. 2piece halibut and chips. $23 buck rip off, should have got sashimi instead.

    $23 for fish and chips. Yikes. That seems like a lot.

    Mushroom curry over saffron rice. Turned out quite tasty.

    Put some of this on it. Much hotter than their sriracha. Had to cool off my tongue with some yogurt.

    Chili paste is awesome.

    I was thinking always having cool cuts and wild cuts of meat.

    Assuming you'd get discounts or whatever.

    Thanks Tom!

    That looks tasty as well. I'll pass on the mushrooms but the rest I can handle.

    I’m looking this up next time shopping. Or on Amazon.
    Need to order from Tabasco too. I also like Panola hot sauces.

    I bought the sambal at Kroger.

    The pepper pyramid challenge. Love it. We had a Thai restaurant like that, I made it to 6 before they went out of business. Not sure I could have gone much further on their scale. I think it was logarithmic.

    Try the Tabasco rocoto pepper sauce. It's not super hot, but has a very interesting spice profile...T

    Gonna make chimichurri to go with the tri tip. Think I'll use 4 or 5 cloves of garlic, 2:1 ratio of parsley to cilantro (cilantro tend to overpower things imo), shallot, oregano, olive oil, red wine vinegar and debating on lime or lemon juice. Thinking I may do a 50:50 mixture of both.

    Modified off of this recipe.

    Lime, unless you like things sour. In fact, with red wine vinegar in the mix, I'd go light on the acids. In general, acid is good to brighten things up and cut through the fattiness of foods, and tri tip is usually pretty lean unless it's got the fat cap still there. I'd use that recipe as a base, then add the acidic stuff a bit at a time at the end until it's got the flavor you like...T
