    Second Bassman sourdough bread,

    Somewhere I read that using sparkling water will make your bread more fluffy. Low gluten flour helps too. Your's is still a nice looking loaf.

    Drink of choice?

    Good point.

    Drink of choice?

    Bud, being from Central Texas you should know better. Never mix anything into Mr. Daniel's distill. Even ice is kind of going over the line. PM me and I'll set you up to be a Tennessee Squire. You will own a little slice of the hollow, and you'll learn how to enjoy the product without coke.

    AP: DALLAS, TX.

    All true Bear, but he was HATED by the local folks, and had to hide his head (did I actually say that?) whenever off the field. And, if you'd given the due diligence to continue to copy the Wiki, it would have shown everyone that he had played for the Rams afterward for a longer period than the...

    Possum

    You've got that right. A couple of weeks ago my golden busted through the dog door going ballistic. She had heard a possum on the patio. I followed her out and the possum was laying next to a potted plant. I dragged the dog away, which was pretty easy. She doesn't like dead things so much. Went...

    Giving the squirrel a bone.

    With all the love to our Squirrel buddy who cooks the most awesome dishes, I have a sweet Gamo air rifle that would remedy that bone biter.

    AP: DALLAS, TX.

    And the Cowboy hate continues. Our current quarterback may be old enough to be a grandpa, but he isn't a dog killer and a recent convict. I don't hate very often, but I have zero tolerance for people who abuse women, children, or dogs. The fact that the Eagles employ him proves their lack of...

    Possum

    I've had possum many years ago, but breaded and fried, not smoked. As I recall it had somewhat of a skunky flavor. Brining might be a good idea to remove some of that flavor. Soaking it in buttermilk for a few hours might help also.

    Thanksgiving Ideas

    Try it with the 85/15 fat content and it should be ok. The leaner mixes of ground turkey tend to be too lean and dryish.

    Second attempt at smoked turkey w/ Q-view - VERY disappointed...

    Yep, as said before, a water smoker will never give you crispy poultry skin unless modded or subbing sand as a heat sink. I'm wondering if a crisping with a propane torch would work, kinda like crisping a creme brulee? Chefs???

    Home caned Salsa?

    I used to just rough chop them, but lately I've been skinning them first. The skins tend to roll up and look ugly in the salsa if left on. Poach them for about a minute in boiling water, then drop them into some ice water. The skins just slip off after that.

    Oil-less turkey fryers - Pros? Cons?

    I've been really interested in one too for the same reasons, and also hearing mixed reviews. If it produces nearly the same product it should certainly be worth the money, considering the oil cost, pain of recycling, cholesterol concerns, etc. Hopefully someone in the know comes along soon to...

    Thanksgiving Ideas

    I did one last year with stuffing, green bean casserole, and real cranberry sauce (not the canned crap). It was awesome. Sort of like when the Thanksgiving flavors combine when you clean up your plate.

    Home caned Salsa?

    kevink, I'm liking your process. I use canned tomatoes for most everything anymore. However, (seeing you are in Dallas), you might pop over to the farmer's market when the tomatoes are at their summer peak. I believe shed #1 is the one with the local growers. They have what they call #2 grade...

    Smoking duck and Turkey gravy

    It works to put it in a pan to catch the drippings. Makes a really tasty and interesting gravy. The trick is to suspend it in the pan with a tall rack. Otherwise, it will sort of fry or braise in its own oil. I've used a broiler pan with success. The gravy will turn out darker and full of...

    MES 30 or 40?

    If you have the choice, go with the 40. You won't regret it. If you get the 30 you probably will at some point.

    Crawfish Dressing for Turkey Day

    This looks awesome. Might not go with my planned rack of lamb, but truly a keeper. Thanks!

    Lacto-fermented Pickled Jalapeno Slices

    I might give it a try, but I don't think Aquafina or most other bottled waters are a good choice. Many are just the same as tap water, only bottled. Buying or making your own distilled seems safer.
