Cooking "Bucket list" ??

Mrs Kapn and I were talking about bucket lists the other day. She was amused that my short list was all cooking related :redface:

I have been fortunate to have met and exceeded my career and travel goals.
Did the RV thing and the Boating thing successfully.
Did "pretty well" (but far from perfect) with my family stuff.

So, cooking is the last frontier for me :grin::grin:

Here's a few:

Cook Wagyu Prime Rib and Ribeye Steaks (they are on order--check that one off shortly) :-D

Cooking perfect diver scallops and Risotto (Gordon Ramsey is my benchmark for these).

Perfecting my "smoked nuts" process.

Perfecting my Ceviche--close now but still needs fine tuning.

Cooking the perfect Pork Chop. Modern pork is so bland that even a good brine does not produce flavorful, moist chops like I grew up with.
Found a source for Berkshire--maybe that will help.

Making "edible Pig Candy"!! Don't laugh. Something so simple has totally alluded me---frustrating! :redface:

Perfecting my Smoked Tomato Soup recipe. This one is "so close" that when I hit it right I am gonna post a thread chock full of pride.

Am I the only one with a "Cooking Bucket List" ??

Mine is pretty simple, a brisket done right.

I am surprised that this was not the first thing listed due to all the hype on the WWW.
To me, this is one of the easiest meats to cook if you K.I.S.S.
Folks try to make it into "Black Magic" or a mystery and it is not.
The vast majority of the problems are due to undercooking--just let it ride and it will be fine.
This should be an easy one to take off your list--I hope :-D

The perfect Cabrito!

Guess I'll have to add homemade sausage to the list.

Cabrito sent me to Google. Sounds interesting.

I did quite a bit of sausage, but since Mrs Kapn does not eat it......OH Well :-D
