Beef Sticks do's and don'ts
I use a mix available from Nesco who makes dehydrators - It's a 2 packet deal, 1 cure and one spice to 1 lb of ground meat. Available in packs of six spice and six cures at most Wal-Marts for about $3.95 in the section where you'd find the dehydrators and small appliances I don't use casings... -
Secret Recipes (A Rant)
I'm in too Vlap - Dottie and I are doing much the same - I located a company named Morris Press that publishes cookbooks for church groups, individuals, etc - their prices are quite reasonable. When Mom died the only things I asked for were her cook books and her card index and I also...- bob marsh

Canned Pinto Beans
Pinto beans are the best - Dottie usually cooks a large batch and cans them. We buy ours in bulk at our local farmer's market and haven't run into any toughies - She rinses and soaks, then slow cooks them in a large pot with a couple of smoked hamhocks or sometimes a bone left over from a Honey... -
Anyone ever built a sausage mixer?
Wowser! 300 lbs of sausage - Who are you cooking for? the US Army? I'm used to smaller batches but have looked at mixers - try http://www.sausagemaker.com/index.as...TS&Category=24 they have three models - a 20Lb, 50 lb, and a 110 lb Certainly cheaper than you could build one out of... -
Any "Winos" out there?
Thank Bill - I had a similar experience making a batch of India Pale Ale on the stove - I guess I didn't pay attention to Charley Papazian when he said the sticky malt solution could easily boil over and make a HUGE mess, which is what happen during an ill-timed bathroom break - Dottie had a...- bob marsh

500 gallons of Red Wine Conclusion
Winemaking was a serious business and not taken lightly - so when grapes were in a lot of the children in the family suddenly got sick and missed a few days of school.

500 gallons of Red Wine part one
Here's a glimpse into my childhood - I have a feeling that some of you may have similar stories luring in the backs of your minds. I hope this is in the right place as it's sort of a "How To" dealing with winemaking, old school style - you may even get a laugh out of it. First let me say that my...- bob marsh

Brewing an Ale today ...
Hi Bombo, I brew a bit along with winemaking but haven't done any in awhile - But I have a question: A friend of mine who built a small automated brewery ( I saw an avatar on the forums that looks just like it - maybe there's a fellow Brewminator out there) and he said that Hops are scarce this...- bob marsh

Any "Winos" out there?
Hi Guys and Gals, Thought I'd share a couple pics of last years proceedings - My nephew Tony and I make a barrel of Red Wine every year for drinking and cooking and thought these might interest the brewers in the crowd.

Needing A Little Help
I doo jerky quite often and have had great success with London Broil, Eye of Round, Flank Steak - The London broil I cut along the grain so it holds up better - The jerky is chewy but delicious. The eye of round is a lot more expensive and I cut it across the grain to make delicious shingles...- bob marsh

Have you gone professional?
New Guy here....I agree with Ron. Dottie and I really work well in the kitchen and have learned to make just about all of the foods we love from scratch and have often heard "Why don't you two open a restaurant?" Wether it's idle flattery or the diners are merely prejudiced, who knows? But...- bob marsh
