    Ever file an amended tax return? OMG!

    I had to a few yrs ago after a 1099 that I had forgotten was coming, came in late. The state form was one page, IIRC the federal forms were 5-6 pages long.

    Worst Beer…

    This stuff played a part in my misspent youth. Tasted bad, seemed to give the worst hangover, and last but not least was known for giving you a condition that rhymes with Blitz. You were young and dumb, it was cheap, and if you were drinking it, most likely you weren't the dummy that paid for it.

    Sausage Stuffer

    I've got rubber pads on the base of my Hakka, but I think I'll pick up a set of those suction cups. They work pretty well on my slicer. I just use a round pizza pan to coil into.

    Cast Iron Skillet Reccomendation

    I like Lodge. Nowadays, they're not as smooth bottomed as they used to be, and some people sand them down, but I haven't found any reason to do that. I use a 5-inch skillet for eggs, and they slide right out. That one and an 8-inch skillet are my most used, along with 5 and 7 qt Dutch ovens.

    Pet owners worst responsibility

    Very sorry to hear that, it's one of the roughest things to have to do, and I know the time is coming for me. My best girl and constant companion got sick last month, and the vet initially thought it was food poisoning and prescribed meds. Within a few days, her belly started swelling, and I...

    Need a new smoker

    It's very easy to add a PID to the Smokin-It smokers, I did it, so I'd say anyone can. That way the PID isn't on top of the smoker and can be covered easily if necessary. At one time I was going to upgrade to a #3 analog and then add a PID. Going with an Auber device, same is as used for...

    Lengua or Tongue in English

    When I was a kid back in the 1800s my mom would cook tongue once in a while. Bout all I can remember is that she would slow simmer it all day with pickling spices, and it was delicious! None of my siblings would touch it, so more for me! Sliced on crackers.

    Canned corned beef hash

    I'll eat corned beef hash once in awhile but like the roast beef more, though I don't see it around here very often. The sausage hash (Hormel) is the best of the three IMO. A Walmart in Salem is the only place that carries it here that I know of, so whenever I run low I go in and buy 10-15+...

    Smokin-It #3 cold smoke Setup.

    I use the Amazn tray and I get a perfect amount of smoke every time. I've seen complaints that the tubes put out way too much smoke for a Smokin-It or MES. You can use pellets but I think the majority here use dust. It burns a lot cooler than pellets and if you're smoking cheese, its edible...

    MYPIN PID TA4 Controller for electric smoker

    DefinitIy need a heat sink while autotuning.I installed a PID in my Smokin-It smoker and just used a couple of bricks and had a soup can full of water in the bottom while running the Autotune. Can't remember why the water, (was in the instructions) but it all worked out great!

    Smokin-It #3 cold smoke Setup.

    I've got a Smokin-It #1 and the Amazn tray works pretty well for cold smoking. I don't use the drip pan and that helps a little to increase the draft. Probably get more input on the Bella setup on the Smokin-It forum.

    Can you add seasoning to bland snack sticks?

    IIRC that mix comes with Maple Cure. Quick look at some of my Owens seasoning instructions show 1 & 3/4 tsp per lb of meat, so that should be right.

    Communicating in Movie Quotes

    These get used a lot around here. All from the same movie too. "Yeah, well, thats just, like, your opinion man." "Shut the f' up Donny." "This isn't Nam, there are rules!" "Nice marmot,man." "That rug really tied the room together."

    Where do you get sausage casings from

    I got my fibrous casings from Ownes BBQ and I'll be making another order there soon. I like their various sausage mix's so its handy to get both in one shot.
