Made a two-headed, medium rare eel salad tonight and it was exquisite. Sorry, no pics.

Don't drink beer and eat pizza every other night.  But let's be honest, you will.  We all did.

Diving in to terrine & pate preparation and making.  Made a chicken and wild mushroom terrine for my first attempt.  Pretty good.  Last night I seared some in bacon grease on the griddle and topped it with red sauce and it was the best “chicken parm” I have ever had.

Let me go on record to say that was not my desired intent.

Thank you.  It is fun and a little time-consuming.  It gets more difficult the fattier meat you use and am looking forward to my next one with pork.

It was all in good fun, bud. Keep cooking amazing stuff!

Also, would love to see a recipe and/or any tips on making terrine. Always looking to branch out in my kitchen knowledge!

This is what I started with.  You will need a food processor, roasting pan large enough to set you terrine mold in a water bath in the oven for cooking, and a instant read thermometer.  At some point, having a meat grinder will most likely become necessary.  You need freezer space to place your mixing/processing bowls into as part of the process involves keeping the meat/fat as close to freezing as possible until it gets cooked.  Techniques is key to get the congealing process down.

The first part of the book cover technique and the latter part is all recipes.

Outstanding. Added the book to my wishlist!

And thanks for the tips. Hopefully I'll get to try my hand at it before long.

2 days in to a 2 week brine pickle ferment.  Cucumbers from farmers market, 3% salt brine, and 1 bulb of garlic.

I’ve never made them before. Not usually a pickle fan, but had some that my dad made with this recipe over Labor Day and they were really good, so I’m hoping I can replicate it.

Airlock fermentation lid.  Allows gas created during ferment to escape, but doesn't allow air in.
