Not because it got too tight, but because it got salty as hell.
Yes, it's shoulder - it's a chunk I was going to use to make pulled pork, and was sitting in the freezer waiting for me to defrost it and get it ready ahead of time.

Okay - I used the tasso in the jambalaya. Same recipe for the jamblaya that I used before, but instead of 1.5 pounds of sausage split between the andouille and the double-smoke, I went 3/4 pound of the sausages and 3/4 pound of tasso, since I Was worried that it might be too salty.
My wife declared it to be my best jambalaya yet.
There are no photos - I forgot to take some as I was plating, and there are no leftovers.

Well, I followed it with a couple of changes. I didn't have enough red bell pepper, so I added some finely chopped celery and carrot, and I used homemade bacon, rather than using pork. Next time I'll sous-vide some pork belly for this.
Wife says I need to make it again, and it'll be great for summer, and for parties.

That's a smoked beef (chuck) and lamb (shoulder) pie with vegetables and Guinness gravy, topped with mashed potato with some of the smoked cheese I made for Christmas.
Recipe was from All Things BBQ, except that I finely diced the veg instead of grating them, because it takes a third of the time.
Oh, and I didn't have the spice mix, so I eyeballed a Santa Maria seasoning to which I added a little cumin and rosemary.

Actually really GOOD. Rather than using amaretto, I used spiced rum spiked with almond extract and vanilla extract. I used Starbucks Italian roast. I backed off on the egg yolks and used more white, and good cocoa powder on each layer. Twas good, not overly rich, just right - the womins they like it.

That sounds really good.
I hate bad tiramisu, but love well-made.
There was a place in North Bend that was awesome, but I forget the name.
Just when I narrow down a recipe to try, we try to eat healthy, and I lose track...
