    The time I made my own barbecue sauce

    I used to make this mistake all the time. Most of my recipes are combinations of a half dozen other recipes I've found online. I have plenty of them bookmarked on my laptop, but I quit doing that when the smartphone became my main browser. I ended up trying to recreate old google searches so I...

    I got a gift in the mail

    I cringe every time I see people using mandolins on the cooking competition shows. I don't think I've ever used one without bleeding.

    Freeze after curing/before smoking?

    So pork butt is on sale for $.99/lb and I'd like to give buckboard bacon a try. Right now, my calendar is free and clear. I should be able to time things to make everything work. But between 3 young kids, a wife, work, and parents that just don't understand I need to plan ahead for everything...

    Etiquette: Should I post anyway?

    I'm definitely a "search first" kind of person. It's just my nature. It usually helps me get a basic picture of the info I'm looking for. But doesn't really help if I'm looking for something more specific. That's when I'll start asking questions. People like me definitely appreciate the new...

    How many people do you cook for?

    I have 5 people living in my house. Me, my wife, a 4 1/2 year old and two almost 2 yearOlds. With that being said, I generally cook for two people. The kids eat a rotation of pasta, pb and j, pizza, and chicken nuggets.

    St. Patrick’s Irish Pizza (an experiment that worked)

    The pizza looks tasty, but the cheese sauce..... Just give me a spoon and leave me alone with it.

    St Patrick’s Day

    At this time, five years ago, I was partying with my friends at the bar. Three daughters later, I'm sitting in my shorts watching My Little Pony. My, how times change. The only thing that stayed the same is the whiskey. And some say there's more of it now.

    Another Greek Marvel. . .Avgolemono!

    Thank you. We're really looking forward to our dinner tonight. It will be this soup as a side to your kebabs.

    Another Greek Marvel. . .Avgolemono!

    I'm going to be making this tonight. The only short grain I could find was brown rice. Would that work? Or would it just be better to use regular long grain white? I bought orzo, but the wife wasn't too keen on that.

    MY FIRST EVER TRI-TIP

    Looks great! I've never seen them in stores around here before. They suddenly show up and on sale. I might need to snag one on the way home tomorrow.

    Σουβλάκια. . .Souvlakia (Greek Shish Kebab)

    That looks amazing! I've been trying to decide what to make to go with your soup this weekend. I guess that answers that question.

    St Patrick’s Day

    My grandparents had cans just like that in their garage fridge for about ten years. Neither of them drank, but they wanted to keep something on hand for guests. I can only imagine what it tasted like.

    St Patrick’s Day

    Probably no beer for me. I'm already an Irish whiskey guy, so I'll be drinking my regular Jameson Caskmates Stout. I just might end up having a couple extra to celebrate.

    What can I smoke at below 160°F

    Cream cheese. Coat a block in your favorite pulled pork rub and smoke it for a couple hours. It's a favorite snack in my house.

    De-mousing a kettle?

    I like the vinegar idea. I know Simple Green is supposed to be safe, but something in the back of my mind just doesn't like the chemical smell.

    Canned corned beef hash

    That's ok. Low cholesterol is overrated.

    Canned corned beef hash

    Look what you made me do!:emoji_laughing: I attempted the fridge and slicing trick, but it turns out that Hormel cans are rounded at the bottom, so the can opener didn't work. I had to scoop it out and hand form the patties. It kinda worked out, because they needed to be a little bigger to git...

    When you are tired of take-out Chinese.

    That looks amazing! We've done homemade takeout a few times. It's really labor intensive. Makes you wonder how those guys can get a bag full of food done in 15 minutes.
