    I actually bought a 1/4 cup scoop today to help me portion out pralines better. I hope it works!

    Whats your favorite fat?

    Oh, I didn't pay for it, it was free! Let me explain. You see, the butchers at some grocery stores get the ribeyes (and many other cuts of meat) in a whole huge slab from their distributor. Then they trim it and cut it into steaks for their customers. The leftover fat is discarded, but really...

    Whats your favorite fat?

    I haven't worked with fat much, just got in to grinding deer meat, but I must say that the beef ribeye fat I got a few weeks ago was beautiful! Gorgeous pure white color, and had a silky texture between my fingers. I hope I get more of that!

    Smoked Chicken & Sausage Gumbo with Q-View

    I never knew file was a thickener! It's nice to know file has other redeeming qualities, because it really isn't the best tasting seasoning out there. ;p

    Smoked Chicken & Sausage Gumbo with Q-View

    I'm no expert, but I can give you my opinions :) Okra gives gumbo it's signature texture (the best way I can describe it is slimy- but that doesn't sound appetizing does it?) File is a seasoning that comes from sassafras. It compliments the dark roux. I never add extra file to my gumbo, it has...

    No Knead D.O. Bread.....

    I've always used warm water. If cold water is used, I think the only drawback is an increased rise time. I know of a video for a no knead recipe I've tried and tested, by Chef John. He also has a video for no knead beer bread which is good if you like that beer flavor (I do- but most of my...

    No Knead D.O. Bread.....

    I forgot to add. The no knead doughs I've handled were all more wet than kneaded doughs. It will definitely stick to your hands while shaping, and jiggles like jell-o.

    No Knead D.O. Bread.....

    Looks really good Dave. Nice looking crumb, nice crust, nice overall rustic look... beautiful! Looks like you picked a good recipe too. Thanks for doing the leg work testing this internet recipe. Just a thought... I've never used a no knead bread recipe that was specifically labeled...

    Smoked Chicken & Sausage Gumbo with Q-View

    I love chicken and sausage over seafood gumbo. And your looks delicious! Ooowee, look at them okras! Here's two tips when making a dark gumbo roux... cook it outside, that mess will stink up your house for a week. Be lazy with the stirring, stopping intermittently, let it burn a little bit. ;)

    What is the right thing to do?

    Oooo copyright laws. If you guys figure it out get in touch with Madonna, Metallica, the Senate who tried to pass SOPA (just to mention a few), let them all know how you plan on doing it.

    What do you do with a Butt after the first date?

    Hmmm... How about some PP added to baked beans as a little extra special side item! Also, I haven't done it yet, but I'm reading about it... canning! Seriously, homemade canned soups have got to taste better than Campbell's Chunky, bleh! BTW, I freeze meat too. Tastes good to me. Its the...
