- The Ravens have some recent finance grads doing mathematical analytics for playcalling onsides, 4th downs, 2pt conversions, etc: https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2019/9/22/20878730/baltimore-ravens-kansas-city-chiefs-analytics.
- I’m not particularly impressed by the Farnam Street publication either. I’ll stay subscribed for a bit longer.
- Friendsgiving prep.
- Wednesday’s turkeys will have no garlic/onion for Allie and no pork for Sharon. No more bacon injection :(. I’ll instead do a memphis rub (paprika/cayenne/brownsugar/etc) with a butter injection+binder. I’ll still throw some herbs on there.
- Smoked practice turkey and ribs yesterday at remilin’s. They were weird. Something is off with the traeger, wasn’t getting good smoke flavor. Looked up traeger instructions, we weren’t drastically off on anything.
- Butterflied, separated, and brined all 40lbs for the actual day into legs, breasts, tenderloins, wings. I’m getting much better. You don’t need to spatchcock if you’re going to separate anyway. Still took about 90min and gets kinda annoying. Super messy. Disinfected the kitchen surfaces after.
- Read a little more about gravy prep.
- Went back tonight and smoked a chicken with Remy to test. Cleaned out the traeger firebox, made sure the pellets didn’t have any wet rot, ensured that it was started up properly. Chicken was butterflied, with absolutely no other change. No rub, injection, seasoning, sauce. Still weird.
- Prepped my WSM for wednesday, since I’ll be using that instead.
- Overclocking increases error rates, heating, power consumption, etc.
- Added video player to chrome.
- Sempiternal is the same definition as eternal. Lasting forever.
- Ordered a couple new watches.
- Elon was in the rick and morty episode from last night!
- ZYME earned a couple hundred bucks more today.
- Started using the pea protein. It definitely doesn’t taste as good.
