    Reviving Old Meat Market

    Best of luck with your project.  Hard for me to visualize, but you make it sound feasible.  Local/state health departments will provide red tape, no doubt.  I know some restaurant/bar people and in some cases, they want to know every time you change a light bulb and brand of toilet paper...

    Spices you don't like...

    Tarragon - great in veggie (for that matter, ALL) omelettes.  Also not bad in a tuna salad.  Linguica said it best that, "All ingredients in the proper amount add the finished flavor."  Go to allrecipes.com and do recipe searches based on ingredients.  Some ingredients just aren't meant to be in...

    sam's club brisket

    Unless you're cooking for food critics, not many people can tell difference between grades of cooked meat, even side by side (especially if you're rubbing it and smoking it all day).  Just like a margarita (today WAS margarita day!) - can you tell the difference between say a low quality...

    Post best joke

    1. Why did the flower want to hang out with the mushroom?  B/c the mushroom was a fun-gi (fun guy). 2. Guy walks down the street and a bar has a sign advertising free beer.  He goes in and asks the bartender for some free beer, and the bartender says he has to do THREE things to earn it...

    Electric Knives

    Both are good to have.  Knife sets (steel and ceramic, which are "the new rage" in knives, given ceramic is actually HARDER than steel knives) work really well for most all culinary tasks and meat cutting.  But when it comes to carving a turkey or slicing a ham (or any large meat cut), electric...

    I made "thoseguys" Pulled Pork White Bean Chili

    Hey goober, you live like 3 miles from me, and I ate CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH for dinner - thanks for not bringing me some   (normally I'd send a smiley with my tongue sticking out, but I couldn't find one so I'm settling for an assault rifle).  Looks/sounds delicious and hope you enjoyed more than...

    Best Place to Purchase Cheese?

    Costco is good for EVERYTHING (a store where you can buy meat, cheese, tennis balls, and CASKETS is a winner in my book).  BUT a store like Fresh Market/Whole Foods has a good selection, too.  Trader Joe's if you have one (we don't) is a "treasure hunt" store where they rotate products and based...

    Alabama...looking for roadkill cooking techniques

    Ok, gator has some very redeeming qualities.  But nutria (aka rat exposed to too much radiation) is something that if I want to curb my appetite, I think about.  I'd take SKUNK before nutria!!! -nmr

    Alabama...looking for roadkill cooking techniques

    Sounds like you may have tried that a time or two.  Being from the bayou, I imagine your choice of roadkill is nutria, which is one of about 3 things on my "List of Things I'll Never Eat."  YUCK! -nmr

    Celebrate your holidays this week

    A few important holidays this week: Wednesday (2/20) - Love Your Pet Day - if you live on a farm with edible animals, I suppose this may have multiple connotations Thursday (2/21) - Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day - perfect day for corny pickup lines ("hey baby, today is Introduce a Girl...

    Phil's Scrotum

    Ha!  Nice one, but while reading I was picturing having wire wrapped around it...I'll have nightmares thanks to this one. -nmr

    Whats your favorite fat?

    Ha!  Nice pick boykjo, where'd you get it?  That's my ex-gf, and I'm actually UNDER her right there.  Pork is best fat.  Although, if you liked "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," then Chow Yun-Fat was pretty good.  Lastly, some differences between fats.  Pulled this from an old NRC book. -nmr

    HELP! Smoking Meat and Ran out of propane!

    I know that all meat has guidelines to go by for ensuring the killing of all pathogens, but from a microbiological standpoint, let's look at some things.  First, what are the most salient threats?  Parasites including bacteria, giardia, tapeworm, and trichinella come to mind.  Now the latter...

    wire rack/container

    Hey Dave, I suppose that's as close as one can get.  I figure it'd be best without a handle as it would get in the way, but if necessary I have a hacksaw :).  Thanks for the research! -nmr

    wire rack/container

    I'm seeking a specific item that I can't name, nor do I know if it exists, but I can describe it.  It's a rack, except it's enclosed on all six sides (possible dimensions - 24" (l) x 18" (w) x 3/4" (h)).  It could be made of anything, but I'm thinking stainless steel, kind of like a cooling...

    So...come here often?

    Hello Alabama folk!  New to site/group, and I see some ideas of a possible get together.  Fine idea - in college I once attended a "smoking get together" but quickly left when I realized about 7 felonies per person were being committed.  Hopefully one of this nature will be a little more legal...

    Alabama...looking for roadkill cooking techniques

    Ha!  Well done...don't know why the guys painting the road passed up such a good hunk of meat.  Funny picture :) -nmr

    Alabama...looking for roadkill cooking techniques

    Kidding.  From Huntsville, where we have a LITTLE more than just roadkill (sometimes we actually trap it before we run over it).  Just looking for place to see ideas/opinions on innovations for the most infusive cooking style - SMOKING.  I'm a big experimenter (science background), and I hope to...
