    Shrimp Po’Boys

    I would probably be happy just eating the shrimp grilled after the marinade you put them in.

    Shrimp Po’Boys

    I was trying, in a round-a-bout way, to extract the mix and amounts of the secret spices out of you. It's why I put them in quotes. Of course you probably caught on to that! :emoji_laughing::emoji_laughing::emoji_laughing:

    Shrimp Po’Boys

    Corn meal, flour, and "secret spices"?

    Shrimp Po’Boys

    The secret to me is the bread and the batter or dredging used for the shrimp. Do you batter or dredge your shrimp?

    Beef Pho

    Thanks for posting the pictures. Pho looks great. We love a good pho. I'll look for those two cans at the Asian market. The secret to good pho is the broth and it would cut the preparation time way down. Out of curiosity.......what is the sodium per serving on each of the cans?

    Smoked club house with several smoked meats including cheese

    Nice looking sandwich. The smoked meat looks terrific. One heck of a club!

    Strong coffee

    I had the same suspicion. I just got out the jigger and measured 8oz water. It registered 2 cups on the Cuisinart coffee maker we have. That means the "8 cups" we have been making is actually 32oz. This cuts the math in half to 52 grams of coffee. That's not so far off from the 37 grams of...

    Mexican Restaurant- English as a second language cheat sheet 😂

    We have the same challenge when we go to the Mexican market. Particularly when I'm trying to communicate with the butcher. I now use the Translate program on the iPhone. I can speak into it in English and it translates what I said to text, and to a voice recording. I show them the text on the...

    What’s the craze with smash burgers

    When I was growing up the place we went to didn't call them smash burgers. They were just burgers. The patties were small so they would smash them to make them look bigger on the bun. Of course we'd eat two or three. It was mostly the bread and ketchup we were eating. And perhaps some day old...

    Strong coffee

    This is great information. We use an 1/8 cup measuring cup. I weighed the amount of coffee we add to the filter. It's four scoops which weighs 37 grams. We make 8 cups of coffee. If the 1:18 ration holds then 8 cups = 64 oz = 1893 ml divided by 18 = 105 grams of coffee. That is three times as...

    Strong coffee

    We buy dark French in the five pound bag from Thanksgiving Coffee, Fort Bragg, CA. We have been drinking their coffee since shortly after we were married, going on 30 years now. Of course it doesn't mean you would like their coffee. Coffee is very personal. Dark French can be all over the map...

A lot of very knowledgeable people who are open and willing to share what they know and have learned over the years. Be careful......the next thing you...

    Pork Belly ~ The Best Bite This Week ✔️

    Pork belly at it's best. Nicely balanced, with the fatty meat and a coleslaw. Nicely done.

    Cornish Game Hens

    We love Cornish game hens. They are pricey though. Yours came out great. I like the simple approach. Salt, pepper, oil. The grill produces a nice crisp skin. Job well done. :emoji_thumbsup:

    Hearing aids?

    I can hear for the most part. Some difficulty in load environments. What I've had for the past 40+ years is tinnitus. It was from my late teens and early twenties when I ran a jack hammer for hours on end without hearing protection. Back in the day we weren't concerned about our hearing, or our...

    Curved rail table

    Some times I find it more enjoyable making the jigs, rather than getting around to being productive and actually producing a finished result. :emoji_grinning:
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
