    Food, Glorious Food! (AND WINE, & SUNRISES, & APRIL)!!!!

    Leah, I'm am so amazed at the volumes of food on your plate. Every photo I've seen in the last year has been menu quality... If you take off the octopus, I'd try a bite :)

    Amazenjus

    I use the tray and use the pellets. I have had nothing but great results. I've used almost all of them and while my favorite is corn cob, the others burn equally well. I've also tried pistachio shells and maple shavings from a planer I have. Once the stuff is dry, it burns nicely.

    Old wine

    Good question....I think either can start from new. When on the Del Dotto winery tour in Napa their was a nice dissertation on the barrels so I know that little tidbit. My whiskey barrels were purchased because grandma said so. 'Nuff said. New barrels now I've seen for upwards of $325.00 US...

    New Maverick ET-733 Question About Smoker Temperature Probe Setup

    The short story on the et-733 is. I know where I want the CC temp and I know where I need the meat..,as long as it's reading temp, I'll ignore the headings. That hi-lo warning beep will make you crazy in a few minutes but, you can shut the beeper off.

    Ok...forgot to add fennel...as a kid my grandmother, who by now you can tell raised us, would take small saucers of olive oil with salt and pepper. We would take slices of the fennel buld raw, and dunk it in the oil mixture. This was either appetizer or after dinner snack. 59 yrs later, I eat...

    New Maverick ET-733 Question About Smoker Temperature Probe Setup

    Not to pile on...but you touched a nerve. I could not agree more with you on the lack of user friendly program function on my ET 733. I could probably use it every week for 6 months and I'd still need to pull out the instruction sheet. I ve discovered the iGrill2. Bought my 2nd last week...

    That is some collection of grub! Sorry to say I could probably only eat the nuts, lentils and asparagus. I just love asparagus. This time of year when the new shoots are in the markets, they are super tender, thin pieces. And yours look like the ones we had here a few days ago. My wife makes...

    That is an interesting site. I'd imagine the shipping would destroy me...haha. I am a guitar collector in my spare time. Sold a jazz type guitar to a man in Perth Western Australia . FedEx wanted $525.00 US to ship. DHL wanted 375.00. Had it not been a bit of a prized instrument, we'd have...

    My grandmothers family is from Abruzzi but gramps family is Calabria (stubborn and hard headed as I'm told ) the old timers made guitars and mandolins from the wooden crates 100 + years ago. I wish I had some of those. Grapes here come in 48 lb crates and I believe we used 6-7 for a full...

    I remember you talking about cape Jaffa. I'd love to know more about Australia but I have too much stuff in my head to fit anything else in right now. Kidding aside, life gets very demanding and short to do all we'd like and then some people I know have zero ambitions and motivations. I am...

    Moikel....nice read. I had trouble since I only read English :biggrin: I've had those thoughts on days when life gets hectic but you know ...the grass is always greener thing. When we were out in Napa California ...it seemed like the greatest life until you look at the costs of starting it...

    Old wine

    . Great stuff to know... My grandparents and their families did this routinely since they set foot off the boat from Italy in the 1800's. I believe I was the only one who asked her how it was done and even back then when we made this batch, all of the relatives were gone. It's now three...

    Thanks for that information Atomicsmoke. They were in a 55 degree average. Some months colder, summer months a touch warmer. The Marsala one smells pretty good. I'd opened one up a few weeks ago. My grandmothers method is crush the grapes, let them sit in the open top whiskey barrel 3-4...

    Old wine

    Forgot that I have these . 30+ years ago with my grandmother, we had made 50 gallons of wine. One in particular is a red Zinfandel. They have been stored in bottles on their side. When I was looking at the dusty bottles, you can see a settling of something that looks like pigment from the...
