SHOW OFF YOUR YUM! Food Photography Thread

[Lazy Farmer]

Yum, but pet peeve time. There is in fact chemicals in uncured ham. The whole cooking process is primarily chemical reactions. The whole slab of meat is an abundance of chemicals.

Fairly easy read of the chemical makeup of meat:
https://www.scribd.com/doc/20203458/Chemical-Composition-of-Meat

My quote should have been "chemical preservatives" in retrospect. We use to use the pink curing salt sodium nitrate a lot. We have refrained from using it the last couple of years. Trying not to preserve our bodies by digestion the nasty chemical. There is a big time difference in taste between hams that have been cured in sodium nitrate versus uncured hams. Uncured ham tastes more like pork, cured hams taste like production ham. With cooked uncured ham you have to eat it immediately or freeze the balance. it will not last a week in your refrigerator. We portion into vacuum bags and freeze them, later just place the bag in boiling water to reheat w/o drying it out.
Lasting a week in the refrigerator is results of the pink curing salt. If it keeps the meat from rotting for a week in your refrigerator or more, what is that doing to your body when you digest it. Same with bacon. Bacon that has been cured with just regular salt and brown sugar is a world of difference from bacon that has been cured with sodium nitrate.
We have a 25# bag of sodium nitrate in the pantry , we just stopped using it. That was the chemical I was quoting, preservatives.
All have a nice big tall glass of embalming fluid for lunch please

Yum! I need a springform pan. I've actually never made a real cheesecake unless you count those jello box ones. Lol

Made yogurt with the instant pot. It's a little runnier than I like and I think I've zeroed in on my mistakes.
But, first time ever making yogurt - runny or not. Lol
Made a blueberry compote to go with it. Topped it with granola and pecans too.View attachment 1212046

Wow!!! Bravo!!!

Crock pot/dutch oven! sounds cool. This time of year hot wet dishes are always plentiful.
I would love to see a spin of versions of Chili. Our area has Chili cook offs once a year. We try to attend. Soups might make some just open a can and snap a pic though. Unless a couple preparation pix are required..
I really like the crock pot suggestion..

I usually make up a batch of chili around the super bowl. Mine has tofu in it. I'll try to remember to take a pic.

Dogs like it and so did the chickens. Just a little for them though. Oh dh liked it too. I think this batch would make good smoothies.

Oh I bet they loved it. Yogurt can be really healthy for chickens.
