    Grits question

    Glad I didn't make a fool of myself by sending them back. Next time I will ask first. Here I thought I was the odd guy (shut up) by putting my soft fried eggs on top of a bed of grits. It has only been in the last few years I discovered I even liked runny yolks and mixed with grits was over the...

    Grits question

    This past week, we took a road trip down south to Fort Moore (formerly Ft. Benning) Ga. to see one of our grandsons graduate bootcamp there. He only had a 48 hr pass and then reports for training and then to Ft. Lewis in Washington State. It could be awhile before we see him again, so off to Ga...

    Favorite soy sauce

    I have a slightly narrower world view. The first time I had soy sauce was the little packet with carry-out fried rice. Eventually found out it was La Choy. Tried the Kikkomann...once. I expected it to be similar but MAN, was I wrong. Just turned me off anything other than La Choy. Ever...

    Sourdough Banana Bread

    Gonna have to try this soon. Sure am getting tired of just pitching all the discard from working up a starter. Plus, I love banana bread. The wife keeps buying bananas she won't eat. 2 birds, one stone.

    you try that and report back. The lack of excess bacon grease is the other thing that has stopped me.

    I've Died And Gone To Bacon Heaven!!! Baconnaise

    I haven't. I have looked around for the mass produced stuff, but no luck. Next thought was to bake some bacon til it gets super crumbly the way the wife likes it,( just this side of burnt) run that thru the blender and mix the dust into some store bought mayo. Hasn't happened yet either. I got...

    Who still has one?

    Never served not I got a 38 on a keychain somewhere. Used to carry it until it started cutting the crap outta my leg and pocket. Now it resides on a ring with seldom needed keys.

    Power Stays On

    For safety's sake keep the smoker well away from the house or anything else that could catch fire just in case things go sideways. Not sure what you mean by "while it has power to it". If it is continuing to heat it has power to it. Whether it is actually turned on will make no difference in...

    Perfect hard-boiled eggs - every time.

    LOL...It ain't so much the boiling an egg, it's getting the Blanketey blank shell off the Dang thing. Prior to this thread I could hook you up with all the yolks you could ever want but the whites were gonna have a little crunch to them I tried adding the baking soda to the salt water and got no...

    Perfect hard-boiled eggs - every time.

    Awesome, egg salad never looked so good. Might have to ask for that recipe. Edit: Never mind found it ! Just did a dozen. Half of them in salt water, second half in same salt water with a bit of baking soda added. Curiosity got the better of me. I saw a FB post some one had issues with both...

    Dehydrating Sourdough Starter

    Can I have a little more info on re-hydrating the starter. If I ever get mine to mature I'm definately going to put some in dry storage before something happens and I have to start over.

    Artisan Sourdough

    Looks so good. I'm slowly learning what the heck you are talking about. Thanks for the tips about the bannetons. They seem kinda proud of them. For now I think I'll stick with the wife's stainless bowls. If I have any success with sourdough I'll revist the bannetons. That bread sling might be...

    Perfect hard-boiled eggs - every time.

    Holy Crap... it worked. Time will tell if this is the cure to my egg woes. I've tried a few different "hacks" for boiled eggs. Some failed the first time, others had inconsistent results. I used the CI dutch oven hoping the thermal mass would help with temp recovery. I only did 4 eggs (slightly...

    Small Batch Sourdough

    Thanks for the recipe, That saves me the trouble of reducing a larger batch to make a single loaf. I would be only guessing whether to divide it by 3 or 4 or whatever. Now question time. 50G starter.. curious, did you pull 16 grams and add 16 grams water and 16 grams flour to feed/wake it up to...

    Perfect hard-boiled eggs - every time.

    Heck, I'll give it a shot. I gave up on sooo many recipes involving boiled eggs, just because of the frustration of peeling the dang things, Back in the day I almost never had trouble peeling eggs and I'm pretty dang sure Mom never did. She did alot of boiled egg dishes, I'm sure I would have...

    Sous vide in cryopac

    I'm going to give this a go with a Smithfield Loin Fillet. They are loin, split long ways to make them about the same size and shape as a tenderloin. I generally prefer the texture at about 165 deg with other methods but Not sure how long. Suggestions are greatly appreciated. I just did...

    Half-cooked bacon.

    Thanks for asking. I have been wondering the same thing. I too have an issue with the pepper being overdone.
