    Featured Cured Turkey Breast

    Cob (+cherry) pellets are still my go-to for smoking bacon or ham. I need to pick up some more at TSC, but I'm not sure where I'm going to store a 40 lb. bag in my condo.

    Featured Cured Turkey Breast

    If you like the citrus flavor in the brine, try smoking with orange wood. It's great on poultry. Harder to find, but worth the effort.

    My Turn to Start Figuring Out Medicare

    I'm in this boat, too. I turn 65 in April, and I will be signing up for part A very soon. I have a very good medical benefit plan where I work, so I plan on working until I hit 70, then I'll see what my options are.

    Dragon Fruit

    According to Wikipedia: AI Overview A ripe dragon fruit should have bright, vibrant skin (red or yellow) with few blemishes and feel slightly soft to the touch, similar to a ripe avocado or kiwi. Look for withering, drying, or curling green "wings" on the skin, which indicate it is ready to...

    It Had Been Way Too Long!

    You're right about that. I have friend who slipped on some ice at Thanksgiving, got a concussion and she's still not w/o pain. Also can't be around noise or bright lighting, either.

    Vacation Help!

    I was last in Cancun in 1990. It was pretty wild then. Not sure what it's like now. As you're in Idaho, how about Puerto Vallarta on the west coast? It's a 4.5 hour flight from Seattle, probably about the same from Spokane or Boise. Lots of good AI's down there, and frankly it's one of the...

    Egg Cooker Gadget

    That was another gadget. Egg Scrambler by Ronco!

    Egg Cooker Gadget

    I've looked at that, but I really don't need another gadget on my countertop. My method has aways been poke a small hole in the blunt end, then drop eggs into highly salted boiling water for 15 min. Remove and plunge into ice water for several minutes. Works every time. Shells often come off in...

    First attempt at lunchmeat - Dutch Loaf

    Success! I had to try it tonight, but I'll wait a couple more days to slice the rest, like jcam222 said. Tonight, the taste is sort of a more robust, peppery bologna. I did add 1 T. of powdered milk to the recipe as a binder. This would make a great summer sausage, if stuffed. I'll definately be...

    Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

    Lol! I had forgotten about that. Yeah, my mom did that, too, The old, aluminum ice trays with the handle on top didn't make enough ice for that purpose.

    First attempt at lunchmeat - Dutch Loaf

    So my Reqtec's lowest temp is 180°, oven is 170°; not much better. I threw caution to the wind and just let it go on the smoker. It took 7 hours and 20 minutes to hit 152° IT, and a lot of the fat was rendered out. It's cooling now, so it remains to be seen if I have luncheon meat, or a...

    Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

    Those electric ones are the way to go. My parents had a hand-crank one that was no fun at all, when the kids had to "earn their keep" by cranking.

    Post pictures of your pets here

    My friend has one, a mix with some pit bull. She's a little more subtle. She knows I always have treats in my pocket. So when I go over there, she'll sit in front of me. Looks at my eyes, looks at my pocket; looks back to my eyes, looks back at my pocket. Yeah, yeah, I know. You want a treat.

    First attempt at lunchmeat - Dutch Loaf

    Glad I have a covered deck. They're forecasting both rain and snow for tomorrow. If they're right, it'll be the first snow to hit the lowlands here this winter.

    More Beef Back Ribs

    These were a decent price at Winco, $12-something for this rack of shiners. Coated in Kinder Prime Rib rub, and Jim Quessenberry's Spice Beautiful Original Seasoning. On the Reqtec at 240° for 2.5 hours, wrapped and bumped to 275° for 30 minutes, then unwrapped, sauced, and let it go another 30...

    First attempt at lunchmeat - Dutch Loaf

    Started mine today. Will let it bloom overnight in the fridge, and toss it in the smoker tomorrow morning. (I have President's Day off. I like to schedule long smokes over a 3-day weekend.)

    Walmart+ and Walmart Problems

    I figured all that was just too much trouble, so I just had them cancel my account altogether. I've only ever bought 2 things from them online, anyway.

    Gift From A Friend

    There's a tiny microbrewery near me, way out in the boonies called BrewBaker's. This is their mascot.

    Walmart+ and Walmart Problems

    I got an email yesterday asking for a review of "my" Walmart purchase. I went over the story again, how it was a fraud purchase on my account, but they used a different credit card, and how someone else picked it up several states over, and how that order was supposed to be canceled, but somehow...
