    Wanting a new turkey-dressing recipe (not stuffing)

    We want to improve our dressing - which is already pretty good - but She-who-must-be-obeyed (aka - the wife) is not happy with it. When I suggest that I could a request in SMF, she said, "Great idea! They know how to cook!" So with that intro: Could you please share a simple dressing recipe...

    Buyer Beware?

    Seriously - being within 1% of true/accurate is not that hard to meet and maintain...I am surprised Code allows 3%. For my day job, among other things we do, we run a certified testing lab for concrete, soil, aggregate...basically all kinds of building material. To meet AASHTO certification...

    Security Cameras

    I use Tactacam trail cameras - works on cell - I think $8.50/mo for the first one and $7.50/month for each additional. I run 8 of these on my farm. Neighbor was selling their house with 5 acres and we had a lot of people turning into my barn driveway...the dedicated wifi and cell security cams...

    What brine is recommended for a whole turkey to be smoked?

    This is the one I use all the time: 1/2 gallon water 1/2 gallon vegetable stock 1/2 cup kosher salt 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 tbsp Sage 1 tbsp Rosemary 1 tbsp Thyme 12 to 24 hour soak rinse very well after brining BRINED TURKEY COOKS WAY WAY FASTER THAN UNBRINED

    I'm not really looking forward to winter .....

    I work outside for my day job so winter is just another season to me. I actually love winter and have winter plans: My day-job equipment can get to places that it normally can't when the ground is frozen It's deer season (Nov. 15) and also trapping season all winter (otters, raccoons, possums...

    AI is so full of ^$&$%#%

    For my day job (geotechnical engineer - aka foundation engineer) - I use AI several times per day. AI has its uses and - one thing I find to be true - you have to be very, VERY specific. I often write out 2 or 3 paragraphs if preliminary info (in WORD) and cut-paste that into 3 different AI...

    Countertop ice maker

    I put it on my boat dock for emergency ice refills without having to get all the way back to the house...and way, way, way cheaper than Marina ice!

    Work Sharp

    @schlotz I use the Chefs Choice "manual" version of the 15XV. After I put the good edge on with my WS MK2, I tune it up, as needed, with the Chefs Choice. I find I only need to use the WS MK2 about once per year to get the fine, easy to maintain, edge on. I maintain it with the manual...

    Made the last trip to the farm yesterday that was specifically for chanterelle hunting. Found the biggest one I have ever seen! It was a perfect flower too.

    Work Sharp

    Love my Worksharp MK2 - second version. (Looks identical to the above) Got it from Amazon for my birthday. It does get the edge sharp - but I go two more steps: using a sharpening steel and then a leather strap. Figure 5 minutes - max - per knife if really bad. My arm hairs were...

    Wild Mushrooms - Chanterelles!!!

    @indaswamp No button's here that we saw - but we were hyper-focused on chanterelles. Found one "unknown" mushroom type - looked like tannish-white coral. We left it alone! I think all the rain and the warm temp is making things pop in the fungus family!

    Strong coffee

    Go to a local coffee shop. Try anything - whole bean - Columbian, Costa Rican, Guatemalan or Honduran... and Sumatran also works in a pinch Columbia is my fave - predictable - reliable - balanced - great flavor. Getting the grind right is important to keep it from getting bitter. When I...
