    What are you listening to ?

    Is it just me or does Angus Young always look like he's chewing on air? I became a teenager in '78. ACDC was a blessing to a teen boy trying to play rock guitar. Full chords, no shifty special tuning. Highway to Hell was the album I had and I could play it all...of course if you could play one...

    What are you listening to ?

    For the Allman Bro's style fans out there, ever checked out any Government Mule with Warren Haynes? Seeing the posts about Greg Allman made this pop in to my mind. I carry mostly tracks from The Deep End Vol 1 and 2; that about covers enough for me. I carry hard mp3 files and have compilated my...

    CFS

    Yea, I get it. I have been ridiculed all my life for using "them big words". That's what children do, and they grow up to be "adults". I was lucky to have an outstanding 6th grade English teacher (where I learned vocabulary, just not spelling and grammar as much) and a mom who tried very hard to...

    OK, NOW I get what you made! You used cubed steak, so there's not much more you could have done for tenderizing. Been a while since I made it. Stopped making it for some years because we went low carb and I guess there have been no sales recently that drew my eye to it. I hardly ever buy any...

    Keto Night @the Firehouse

    Looks like a closeup to me, and a fine meal. Those firefighters probably never get anything like that at home, although firefighters are often well known for their cooking. And I love to see the "saute the garlic for one minute". I cringe at the old TV cooks/chefs and recipes that start with...

    Try "House Autry" breaders if they sell them down over there. They have a hush puppy mix too if that's your thing. Takes the guesswork out of it. You didn't tell us what cut you used but seemed like you were referring to the chicken at a fish place? Those look like maybe pounded out boneless...

    Late to the party, save me a dram and a beer!

    I'm no expert but have been making my own pastrami for some years now. Too lazy to corn my own so I wait till this time of year when the Giant Food grocery puts their corned beef on a really good sale. They really cater to many of the, sort of, "ethnic" holidays. I usually buy both flats and...

    Late to the party, save me a dram and a beer!

    Best of luck on your journey. Look online for your spices if you cant find them, especially if its a spice you know you will use a lot. There are many spice sellers out there that are not Amazon. I use sodium citrate for a no flour excellent cheese sauce that is super easy...no grocery stores...

    Sausage recipes that include rice

    I just nod my head and let them go through their little spiel when they tell me that. Same with salt. Are you a sausage fiend or something? Simply adding rice to a sausage recipe doesn't make it necessarily low fat. There are other proteins that are lower fat...maybe tofu sausage...

    Anyone worked with aluminum flashing ?

    I did that once. Released it more like 10 miles away. Two weeks later the danged thing was back! It did not have a collar and I'm sure my neighbor isn't savvy or tech enough to have had a chip in it (this was many moons ago). Finally that neighbor doesn't appear to have replaced that cat and it...

    Featured Barbacoa Beef Tacos

    They are on my list too. I've only had them once. They are kind of like a Mexican version of a beef dip sandwich!

    Featured Barbacoa Beef Tacos

    Outstanding visuals. I have always been a hard shell fan but stopped making them at home because they usually just fall/break apart. I never thought I liked soft corn tortillas because they were weak on the plate at the Latino places, so much so that they often served them with two tortillas to...

    All in One - Cubed Chicken Dinner from a Spun Brined Bird

    That's out of the box thinking right there. I know I would love it...my wife not so much. Shes not a poultry skin person, while I wont let it go to waste and will fry it or oven roast it with Cajun seasoning and gobble it down!

    Turkey Wing Trouble

    That's the reason I wanted to do these. I've made excellent wings with them off of the thanksgiving turkey, breaking down the turkey in to parts for smoking. Not sure I'll attempt these again...I could not tell there were only two huge wings in the package until I opened it. they would be...

    Anyone worked with aluminum flashing ?

    People's cats drive me nuts. I choose not to have pets for the last 30 or so years and dont think I should have the animals of others crapping and spraying around my house. I used to be much harsher than I am now but I have mellowed out and basically gave up, realizing there is nothing I can do...

    Turkey Wing Trouble

    I know, right? Took me a minute to realize the needler wasn't penetrating. Turns out it was a harbinger of how tough the meat was. I'm thinking this was an old huge turkey and maybe thats why it was so tough. I was stunned at how tough the meat was, I cooked them to almost 190, they should have...

    Turkey Wing Trouble

    A while back I posted that I had scored these turkey wings and got some advice here from the cooks. I ended up bagging them up and freezing them as we went through a period of ice, snow and arctic temps. When the weather warmed up recently I decided to go for it. My head was spinning a bit on...

    like taking your new car for a ride in the rain

    I got lucky years ago when a customer who was remodeling an old home gave me my pick of the old school metal cabinets from the kitchen. Came with a run of cabinets with an old cast iron enameled sink with integral drainboards on both sides. That replaced my utility sink in the garage and has a...

    Vinegar and pepper sauce

    Here's my recipe, tweaked after reading the myriad of recipes out there. I often find what people refer to as "authentic" doesn't always mean "the best". I think that is a matter of personal preference and many people arent willing to make several batches and taste-test across the batches to...

    Man I could go for a Muffaletta

    Back in my low carb days I went on a muffaletta mission. Of course I couldn't use real Italian loaf (round is the loaf of lore) but I was making pretty good low carb breads at the time and used my low carb flatbread recipe. It was a great sandwich From my research there are two things that...
