    Lockhart sausage #3

    Looks excellent to me also! Good base to add some cheddar cheese and jalapeno to also (Yeah, I know then it's not Lockhart sausage, but it would be good too)

    My Turn to Start Figuring Out Medicare

    If your choice of a plan does not include a drug plan, and you have to select a stand alone part D drug plan, make sure it meets the Medicare requirements 100%. My very elderly in-laws "thought" they had it all covered and for 18 months they did not have what medicare considers credible...

    Featured First Smoked Chili

    Looks killer! If you have not tried it before, try placing the ground beef over the other chili fixings so the drippings can fall into the chili pot below. As they say, fat is flavor!!! So smoked fat is even more flavor!

    My Turn to Start Figuring Out Medicare

    Great Point! If you don't already have a ID.ME account, I would recommend you sign up for one. This is one of the ways you can officially login to your Social Security, VA, IRS and other government accounts. You will need a smart phone and your drivers license to start setting up an account...

    Featured Snowstorm Gumbo

    Looks great, I'd take a bowl of that any day! We were just looking at some photos my wife's cousin sent from the snow in Mass. They had over 2 feet in one storm on top of what they already had. Little walking areas carved out of the snow piled 5 or 6 feet high around the paths! That's why...

    My Turn to Start Figuring Out Medicare

    We navigated this topic a few years back. We had been on the Kaiser HMO through my prior employer retirement plan for decades so we stayed with them in a Kaiser Part C (Medicare Advantage) plan my employer offers. It has much better benefits than the advantage plans on the open market though...

    Jalapeño Cheddar Brats

    I thought they were from the "meat counter" at Sam's Club the way they were wrapped (the butcher counter for premium cuts, etc...) I misunderstood.

    Outstanding job on the sausage!

    Jalapeño Cheddar Brats

    I'm 99% sure the brats from Sam's are "fresh" and do not have cure. Treat them as such - hot smoke.

    Walmart+ and Walmart Problems

    If they used another card, but used your Walmart account to make the order, I would bet the other card is stolen as well. Walmart should be able to reset you email associated with the account to the old and you should be able to reset the password, etc... then. If they don't fix it I suspect...

    Bourbon Glazed Meatloaf

    Walmart+ and Walmart Problems

    When you talk to Corporate after the "escalation", tell them just send you a new dish or you are calling your lawyer to let them handle it. They sell the dang things so their loss will be minimal. Starlink Dish - Walmart.com

    Walmart+ and Walmart Problems

    I throw the BS card on Walmart. "They" hired a contractor, "they" control the contractors actions, "they" are responsible. The principle of “respondeat superior” comes into play here. This legal doctrine holds an employer accountable for the actions of an employee, but typically not for an...

    Kroger now carries pork bellies!

    Just a FYI, but if you have a Kroger near you check the meat section next time you are in and see if your store has started carrying pork bellies. Ours has. They are skin off, trimmed, and are the 6'ish pound 1/2 belly size, but the ones we looked at had a good meat/lean distribution ratio...
