Pastrami going into the oven. I would smoke it, but it is 18 f*****g degrees outside.

Not authentic, but I hope that's ok. Pastrami turned out great. I may have used too much Paprika
and Peppercorn, but like the amped up spice and bite. Pickled Red Onions, Sourdough, Japanese
Mayo, Swiss Cheese. A total bastardization of a Sandwich. Just like me.
Love the pickled onions! Looking great .
(Just learned that pho has vinegared onions in it)
Luckily it’s simple, poor bog people food. Not difficult.
I’m at least 50% bog as are my kids
I’ve picked up some local chickens that were pasture raised… so they’re more muscled than your cage bird. I decided that they need to be brined overnight - but I hear you on the extra work!
(such good looking meat, skin and fat … smells good too. Not what you see in the store here.)
I’ve been assigned shepherds pie here for the evening, so I think I’m gonna go crack a bottle of wine in the kitchen.

Small.What's the weight on a bird like that?
Last bird was right at 3 pounds? It was fine!
