I haven't cued this yet, destined for tomorrow nights dinner.
But yeh, Aldi has neat netted Boneless Lamb Shoulders at a bloody good price, compared to what the other two giants sell em for. 
No fancy SS on this girl but rather a more traditional proven method, Low n Slow Kettle Snake style.
Rubbed down with the latest, (which I am dying to try on pulled meat)  .
Then vac sealed to help drive the flavor in. 
Will rub this with Mustard, then apply another coat of rub before cue time.

I also got the pocket rocket pork shoulder from Aldi waiting to be done. But for tomorrow I'm doing a fish ,prawns and calamari batter with onion rings. I found what I hope the be a cracker recipe using butter milk and a few other cool ingredients. It reads well so will document in the hope it's a cracker  |

Keen to see how the Seafood goes.
My kids aren't big on fish and what not, but if i apply a crumb or batter, that changes the game so is worth doing, that's for sure.
Butter Milk....... I will be watching

My kids are the same, I've just got a hankering for battered sea food.(once every few months)
Re butter Milk acid and SR flour = bubbles. That's the plan.
Only so much fried food we can handle so I'll need to be short and sharp.
Had a bomb thrown our way today, the missus came home from the docs to say her blood pressure is through the roof.
It hereditary but now my mind is spinning about drastic change even though she eats bugger all of my food.
Im in a rethinking space right now and I got a feeling our food is about to make a massive change.
That sounds like a challenge to me and I'm going to just bloody well do it,,, So tomorrow's gig will go ahead but with changes.

Although, it will have an impact on your BBQ lifestyle, I wouldn't think it will eliminate the vast majority of your hobby.
Bacon, Ham, Jerky and even your cold smoked Whiskey Salmon would probably be out of the question, for your wife at least but......
There's plenty of other healthy options out there that can be applied to Q.
A visit to a Nutritionist might be on the cards.
Good luck with it mate 
............Meanwhile
Got the Lamb on.
Its too bloody cold around here ATM to do an all nighter on this,,
,,so, rather than Pussy Foot around with it, running my kettle @ 225F, I am gunna give it too it today with 260-75F.
On @ 06:00, and as usual, Aussie Blackbutt.
And a good ole layer of Rub

Hmm, High BP is something I grapple with myself Mick, same deal, comes from my mother's side of the family, but I have the same situation, my wife and I have different tastes in food. It's an area the medicos duck and weave around but most admit that moderation is the most sensible route, not completely abstaining from things like salt. Unless you wife is right off the chart some simple medication is usually about all that is needed, been keeping mine sensible for over twenty years. The related problem, and much more a concern with fried/BBQ'd foods is cholesterol but that's one that is even more contentious. I mentioned in another thread that butter goes from being the bad boy to perfectly ok with monotonous regularity, as do eggs. Most docs and nutritionists will tell you that the biggest culprits are fast food and the associated saturated fats, including things like Canola, with alcohol a possible contributor. Somehow I doubt, given your wife doesn't eat a lot off the BBQ, that your making changes is going to have any impact at all tbh. Contrary to what some believe, as Shayne says, BBQ can be very healthy food. Probably more a subject for a different thread, meanwhile Shayne's lamb looks to die for, in a good way Cheers |
