[WXRGina]

Happy Sunday, Vision! :-)

[Vision]

Hi Gina. How’s it going?

[WXRGina]

It’s going well. A tornado hit my hometown back in Texas yesterday, not far from where my Mom lives. Amazingly, there were no serious injuries or deaths, the last I heard, but there was a great deal of property damage.

How was your week?

[Vision]

Glad everyone is safe. Nothing major to report. It’s been beautiful this weekend, put pork steaks on the smoker yesterday. Love ‘em.

[Viking2002]

Evening, folks. Our Internet is finally back up.

[Viking2002]

Pork steaks? That’s Tuesday’s dinner. Giving The Meat Machine its spring cleaning and tune-up tomorrow. She bought a whole boneless loin, cut a couple roasts off of it, and sliced the rest into thick chops. Gonna hickory smoke them and finish them with a good BBQ sauce. Baked, buttered yellow squash on the side.

[Viking2002]

Gina, glad your mom’s OK. We almost got fricasseed by lightning Friday morning.

[WXRGina]

Thanks, Guys! I’m glad we’re all okay and eating well with Internet working! :-)

[Vision]

Nice. I do them St. Louis style from the shoulder.

[Viking2002]

Yeah, I was watching a storm cell form around Birmingham late Thursday evening, and it drifted slowly southeast during the night and held together. All the thunder woke us around 7 AM, and suddenly there was a flash like a dozen halogen lights that came in through the windows and a boom that was deafening. We didn’t smell ozone, but for a half second before it hit, we heard a really high-pitched ringing in our ears, right at the upper threshold of human hearing, almost like a vibration in your skull. Probably about the time about 10,000,000 volts makes contact with an opposite polarity. We walked the property but didn’t see any obvious damage to the house or trees, but it hit within about a hundred feet from here. It fried the Ethernet port on our cable modem but we had a backup from the old house that got hit by lightning. We still need a newer one but this will suffice for now. Micro Cat was laying in the bed between us, and I think she needs therapy now. It scared her out of two or three lives and now she wanders around meowing constantly. It sounds like she’s talking to herself. I swear, my life is either boring, or heart attack-inducing. There’s never been a center lane. LOL

[Vision]

LOL. Sorry there’s no center lane but the events in the other two always make me laugh.

[Vision]

Bing Ping!

[WXRGina]

Whoo-HOOO!!! :-D What a story!

[Viking2002]

Vision, you think maybe a pork loin smoked with hickory, peach wood, or maybe a mix of the two? I’d like to smoke some pig or chicken with chunks of real peaches layered on them, but a late frost killed ALL my peach blossoms, and the damned squirrels got every last stinkin’ nectarine off my trees, the little pirates! I got one late red peach tree I hope blossoms, and I’m really getting perturbed that all three apple trees and my pear tree are loafing like union dock workers. At least my blueberry bushes are acting like they enjoy the company of the rose bushes they’re planted between. We got about a pint off of the juvenile bushes while they were still containered last year, so hope springs eternal that we’re gonna see a few jars of blueberry preserves in the offing this fall.

[Vision]

Good luck with the blueberries

I would use peach alone. How strong of a smoke flavor do you like? Hickory is stronger with its twang, I use(d) it for beef. Peach wood is one of my favorites and perfect for pork. Now that I use a pellet smoker I don’t use wood chunks as much. Pear wood is great and hard to find.

[Vision]

You need to try sous vide on the loin. 140f for two hours, a quick sear, really nice.
