Prime strip on the Blackstone

The Blackstone sub is full of people that don't know how to cook steaks, so in case any of them wander into here, this is my method:

Dry brine for 24h, uncovered in the fridge. Take the steaks out a couple hours before cooking, and fresh grind coarse pepper just before grilling.

Half of the griddle on high, half on low.

Set an aluminum pie plate on the low side with a stick of butter, a little vegetable oil, some smashed garlic cloves, a few glugs of worchestershire, and a few sprigs of rosemary and thyme.

Sear on the hot side for 3 minutes. Flip to a different part of the griddle and baste with butter. Sear another 3 minutes, flip, baste. Now, flip every minute, basting after each flip.

When the crust gets where you like it, turn off the hot side and move to the cooler side. Continue to flip and baste every minute.

When you're at the internal temp you want, remove to rest on a rack for at least 10 minutes. Plate and drizzle with butter.

New found respect for desert chefs...

I'm making Flan for the first time, and cooking caramel for the first time. I accidentally got a tiny bit of hot caramel on myself, and holy hell does that suck. Haven't gotten a burn this bad in years.

I'm sure it's just a badge of honor for all you candy makers, but I feel like I got a war wound. Not sure I'll be doing this again without welding gloves on lmao

Edit: won't let me change "Desert" to "Dessert". Oops!

Edit Edit: Couldn't spell "Edit", typed "Esit".

Swissy brought a live (?) possum in the house

Just wanted to share this so everyone else can have a laugh at my expense...

I let my Swissy out last night and instead of just doing his business and coming inside, he dove underneath my porch.

He has a hole that he's dug under there, and it's been very hot lately so I figured he just missed his hole and wanted to check it out. I left the door open and just went back to the living room.

Not 10 minutes later, he comes swaggering into the living room with a F*CKING POSSUM in his mouth. I told him to drop it, and I wrapped it up in a blanket to bring it back outside. I couldnt tell if it was alive or dead, so I left it on the porch and closed the door.

It was gone by morning so I can only assume either A) it was just playing, or B) something else came by and grabbed it, but either way, no possum this morning.

My dog is up to date on all of his shots & flea/tick meds, but I messaged the vet to he sure everything was fine. She told me that possums dont carry any diseases that I need to worry about, but to take him in if there was anything out of the ordinary.

Table saw blade calibration- blade dishing

Just got a new miter slot dial indicator to calibrate my table saw.

After adjusting the miter bar and getting a snug fit, I was able to get the front and back of the blade square to the miter slot to within .001. Here comes the problem...

On two different blades (gently used Ridge Carbide ripping blade & Brand new Ridge Carbide crosscut blade), the center of the blade is bowing out- away from the arbor- by about .010-.011".

I figured the blade must be out of parallel to the table, but verified 90 degrees with both a Starrett machinist square and the frame from a starrett combination square.

The only thing that changed anything was backing the nut off and only finger tightening it, and that brought it back to being out .004-.005". I obviously can't run the saw with the nut only finger tight, but this has to be a clue of some kind.

In case it matters, this is on an older Grizzly G1023SL.

Does a dish of .010 in the center of the blade really matter that much? If so, how would I correct it?

What do you do with your extra deviled egg filling?

I've always whipped my deviled egg filling pretty well, and the result is quite a bit of extra filling that simply won't fit into the eggs. I usually reserve a few hard boiled eggs and make a quick egg salad afterwards, but I just used it as a spread on some BTLs in place of mayo and it was delicious!! Any other creative uses out there?

Edit: not sure if all of the responses saying "what extra?" are sarcasm because it goes in the mouth hole, or if nobody really has extra. I whip my filling until it's fluffy and end up with a shit load extra filling. I know I could do it differently, but the way I make mine, it's just better if it's a little lighter. Also, I'm leaving BTL because there's no reason that can't be the name of the sandwich. It was a typo, but I'll accept it.

Boards with a ton of stress- bad mill?

Here's the situation... I just finished milling some 10" 8/4 walnut that I got from a reputable hardwood dealer. This is the first time I've bought from them.

After jointing one face and one edge, I sent the boards through the table saw to get (2) 4.5" wide pieces. As they were coming off the blade, the boards were visibly bending, in some cases up to 3/4" over 8ft.

What do you do in this situation? Could these boards be just badly dried, or did they come from a bad tree? If it was a single board I might just chalk it up to bad luck, but this happened on 6 out of 6 boards.

I'm trying to figure out A- is this something I can bring back to the dealer, or B- is it something I did wrong when selecting my boards and I have to eat it.
