I smoked all three food groups on Monday: Beef (pichana and
tri-tip), pork (sirloin chops), and chicken (thighs). But didn't
start eating any of it until yesterday.

Breakfast was smoked tri-tip on toasted and buttered English muffins
with fontina cheese. Lunch and dinner were also more roast beef
sandwiches - combinations of smoked tri-tip and pichana, swiss,
provolone, and ahamado (a sharp Spanish smoked sheep+goat cheese),
garlic-salted beefsteak tomato, Fresh horseradish, Woebers
Horseradish, and mayo both on grilled rosemary sourdough bread.

Someday I might even eat the chicken and pork. When I run out of
smoked beef.

What I want to know is how did you hold yourself back from not eating any of
your smoked goodies until yesterday???

Everything has tasted "funny" (or not at all) for a week or so. And
I was having really bad carpal tunnel pain. I finally had the nerve
tests done and I'm as bad as it gets - it's even worse in arm that
doesn't hurt as much, according to the electrodes.

I was supposed to smoke that stuff on Saturday. But kept putting it
off since I didn't want to eat. Then Tuesday morning I ate some
baked beans at 6:AM after being up all night and they tasted almost
OK. I went to sleep then woke up 3:PM hungry and started on the
roast beef. And I haven't stopped since.

How do you downgrade to pork and chicken after eating smoked the
last 3 meals? :-)

Sorry you're having this carpal tunnel problem. I've never had that
problem but have had some joint injuries in the past that I've thankfully
recovered from. Not the same thing but I know joints can hurt.

I would have not trouble downgrading to pork but admit the chicken would be
a slight let down.

Carpal tunnel doesn't usually hurt this much in most cases, and even
rarer that it extends to the whole forearm

That was suposed so say "Smoked BEEF" up there.

The chicken tunred out pretty well.

The pork was sirloin chops. They suck no matter how you cook them.
I've tried them every 5 years or so, some as roasts, and they ALL
suck no matter how you prepare them. I'm sticking to butts, hams,
bellies, cheeks, tails, and livers of pig from now on. No other
cuts.

Oh man. Eating all that would be better than smoking it, imo.
Your lungs must be shot. ;)

The sandwiches really look and sound to die for. Put that in
front of Bruce and even he would say, "Hell with the cute
animals. I'm eating this!" Then his wife would get mad and cut
him off for a month or so. lol
