I just took a 3.5 pound bag of frozen dark turkey meat out, along with 3 five pound bags of pork chunks. Shoud be defrosted long about Thursday.

Turkey with cranberries in casings

Hot Italian - loose

Sweet Italian - loose

Mexican Chorizo - loose.

Check back later in the week.

I also have bacon, lardo and turkey pastrami to do in the near future. Those have to be timed so as to be ready for smoking, them that will smoke that is, at the same time.

Just got back from St. Louis, decent BBQ one night, not so good another. Other nights were catered as part of the conference, as I said Shazia does put out a good spread. She did give up on asking attendees if they wanted beef or fish, we all got salmon. She figures the vegetarians will contact her on the subject. I sat next to a couple, non Vegan vegetarian.  Top line hotel, good food, good service
