    Competition Smoking on a propane smoker?? Is it done??

    I propose a compromise: if you can design and build the circuit (including source code), you can use it.

    Holy cow TV technology has become amazing!!

    Do yourself a favor (everybody), and search Google for your TV's model number and "recommended settings," "picture adjustments," etc.  I just came into a replacement after my old one died, and it looked pretty bad when I first plugged it in.  Poked around, found some recommended settings, and it...

    Garlic dill pickles UPDATE! READY TO EAT IN 3 DAYS WITH VAC CANISTER

    I wonder...is there any way to make these shelf-stable, or would that make them mushy? It'd be great to be able to stick them in the back of a cabinet somewhere to age.

    Garlic dill pickles UPDATE! READY TO EAT IN 3 DAYS WITH VAC CANISTER

    Oh, I'll definitely post updates. A thought occurred, though: rather than using pints--which requires time to clean and sterilize a bunch of jars, and lots of space in the refrigerator, why not use the big Claussen jars (or, even better, the bigger plastic containers)?  They both have wide...

    Forgot to mention--one of the pints of spears is spicy (it's in the back to keep people from grabbing it unintentionally).

    Garlic dill pickles UPDATE! READY TO EAT IN 3 DAYS WITH VAC CANISTER

    I just made a double batch. I ended up with two pints of chips for sandwiches and five pints of spears (which could have been packed a little tighter if I'd had more cucumbers).

    Four-Letter Words

    A man is recovering from surgery when a nurse asks him how he is feeling. "I'm O.K. but I didn't like the four-letter-word the doctor used in surgery," he answered. "What did he say," asked the nurse. "OOPS!"

    Hose water to wash dishes?

    No kidding.  I was just thinking back fondly upon many camping trips, doing the dishes with the "three-dip method." Never got sick from it, either.

    Is there still a place to get Selmon Bros.?  Since the demise of IGA, I haven't been able to find it anywhere.

    Brazilian Steak House

    Rabbit, there's another one there in Dallas (and I think a second branch in Ft. Worth; I've not been to that one) called Rafain that's even better than FdC.  Amazing.
