    Any Waffle Recipes?

    I don't make them anymore as it's been ages since I had a waffle maker. I actually had one out of an old diner until I got rid of it. It was a big double beast, and took up a lions share of countertop so eventually I was just like..... f it Find a basic recipe and sub cream instead of milk...

    Mine's not large either. 1225 not counting the garage. It's kind of long and narrow. This isn't me, but it's the same floor plan (almost the same, I thought all single stories in my neighborhood were identical) EDIT - this one has my layout...

    I don't know. I'll look at what's coming up next time I run by the house. What is going bad is that bad pex like stuff, maybe it was a kind of pex, that was being used circa 2000 (or this is what the plumber said) heres the floor plan basically

    Old School Style Barbecuer Question

    You don't need to fill a barrel unless you just want to. I used my fire pit, kept the fire fairly small and maybe tossed a couple of 4-5lb splits on every time I shoveled in some coals. If you were cooking a hog on a gigantic hog sized pit, different story. Green wood will require a larger...

    Gout

    @JIMSMOKES we may be missing the obvious here. Brisket. Hell, I'd rather eat good brisket than prime rib to be honest. See if Ye Olde Sam's/Costco/WMart has a little 10 lber.

    My manifold actually has an access panel due to a previous repair. I didn't think about where it came into that from and was thinking to just go from the manifold out. It's in the garage catty corner to my meter so I guess the main from the meter has to travel under the garage probably on a...

    Cold spells here are pretty mild and generally short. I think it got down to 25 maybe 3 nights this winter. It's rare that temps don't get into the mid 40's during the day even during those snaps. I leave cabinet doors open on really cold nights. Winter of 22/23 was the worst cold snap...

    Gout

    There is a gout med - colchicine - and the directions say to take it until your anus is spewing battery acid then take it for one more day after that. Doc had me on that for flare ups before allopurinol. Gout is caused by a uric acid build up in joints and I was convinced that uric acid was...

    So with the slab leak I just had, the plumber tried like heck to sell me on a whole house re-pipe. He quoted me what I could buy a decent used car for, so I declined. Talking to my neighbor today, he told me he did his himself running pex though the attic. I did a little youtubing and it...

    Gout

    I have gout and my meat diet is 85% beef. Allopurinol would be their friend. Before allopurinol, everything made my gout flare up - doc told me to eat more chicken. I'm not much of a chicken fan but I'll eat it - guess what was a major trigger for me? Any kind of boiled or stewed chicken. I...

    Old School Style Barbecuer Question

    I've heard - but never confirmed - that walnut is mesquitish. As in if you you use too much it can be really overpowering.

    Brisket to Ground Beef Processing

    Preach it brother. Everyone on Gods green earth needs to know about beef scraps and udders that is run through AMMONIA to kill the assorted microsnotorganisms, cooked, and mixed into ground beef. And the FDA is fine with calling it ground beef..... I like deckle fat mixed into grind. Like...

    Life without kitchen for a month

    I did check with the restoration company, it's local but decent size with proper licensing and bonded. My plumber (who I've dealt with a couple of times in the last 5-6 years) recommended them and another local but larger company - but these guys I chose are patient, understanding, and kind -...

    Old School Style Barbecuer Question

    It's the best I've ever had to be honest. The absolute 100% best was when I'd shovel pecan coals into it and top it off with chunks of cherry. I'd think I could replicate it with any stick burner though.

    Old School Style Barbecuer Question

    I built a cinder block pit at my old house but nowhere big enough for a whole hog. I used a piece of stainless for a lid, and a huge part of my heat management was just how much I slid the lid to create the exhaust. If I wanted 225-250, my lid had be slid back about a half inch. 275, maybe an...

    Life without kitchen for a month

    I had a fairly civil conversation with the adjuster today with me asking for an air BNB for at least as long as the air scrubbers are running. No dice. I get to eat out on their dime and he made it sound like he was doing me a magnanimous favor. I wasn't unpleasant with him about that, I'm...
