What a tiny, paltry, trifling tenderloin sandwich.

Christ, that would barely feed a toddler...

I had one of those last time I was out in Cedar Rapids. My friends took me to a local place. I'd never heard of the Iowa version of the tenderloin sammich.

I ordered the large. I should have paid attention to my friends -- they ordered the small to split between them...

What I got was a Clara Peller reverse sandwich...

"WHERE'S THE BUN?"

Damned thing was slopping off the dinner plate.

I cut it in half immediately, boxed half, and still could barely finish the half I didn't box. And that was when I was at my heaviest...

How many quarts did you guys go with?

These things come in a bunch of different sizes.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

^^^We went with an eight quart.  Easier to cook small amounts in a big pot than large amounts in a small pot.

So I picked one up as it makes big meals quickly.

So far my favorite has been the ribs I cooked.

I used my regular rub and steamed them with a water and apple cider vinegar mix.

Finished them by slathering them with sauce and carmelizing in the broiler.

You're cooking ribs without smoking the meat?  What is that called, exactly, and don't say barbecue.   ???

Actually I forgot, also 1/2 a teaspoon of liquid smoke is in the steam solution.

My normal routine is to wrap the rubbed ribs in foil and slow cook in the oven all day, which is for all practical purposes steaming them in their own moisture.

I've "inherited" a smoker but haven't attempted to use it yet.

We had an eight quart hot pot that died last week.  The heating element opened at some point before our second canning run of the day.
We bought a Ninja eight quart hot pot/air fryer from Target online to replace it. (I still get my employee discount as a retired employee.)
It makes great fried chicken.  That's all we've done with it so far, but we'll be canning more green beans and some salsa shortly.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
