    Mailbox Mod Question

    I recently purchased a Masterbuilt 30" Electric Smoker and wish to make a smoke generator using my AmazN tube or tray in a rural mailbox. I had one in the past but sold it along with my old MES years ago (dumb move to be sure). My dilemma is that I cannot find any steel mailboxes that are...

    Σουβλάκια. . .Souvlakia (Greek Shish Kebab)

    Over the years I have periodically been asked questions about the preparation of souvlakia. So--since I was having them for dinner this evening--I decided to post the process. First, a little history: In Greek culture, the practice of cooking food on spits or skewers dates back to the...

    Another Greek Marvel. . .Avgolemono!

    My Greek grandmother, Ya Ya Marmarou, taught my mother how to make this incredible soup. Thank goodness I paid attention when my mom showed me how to make it. A culinary marvel such as this should be shared with family and friends. Therefore, I have decided to share it with you all...

    A Delicious Controversy

    A couple years ago I posted a thread featuring stuffed grapevine leaves. As a Greek, I have had "discussions" with others from the Middle Eastern regions as to who actually developed this tasty Mediterranean dish. Since everyone takes credit, I did a little research and found this: "Some...

    What's Your 20?

    This has been brought up before without any positive results, but I thought I would try again. Several years ago @Bearcarver and I were frustrated by the fact that most members here on SMF do not include their geographic location when joining as new members. For that matter many long-time...
