    It's happening Mama!!!

    I was in the mood for some wings tonight and just picked up a bag at the town grocer. Tyson frozen. $6.99 for..... nope, not 3 lbs.... 40 oz :eek2: For those who don't have a calculator handy or our mathematically challenged :wink:, that's half a lb shy of the normal sized bag of frozen wings...

    Give me a lemon and I'll make steak

    I just popped down to the town grocer for a lemon and lookee what followed me home. I'm not a big fan of strips, but at this price I'm a big fan :thumb: Looks to have a nice amount of "flavoring" too :biggrin:

    Question on Mexican type sauces

    Taco, enchilada, salsa, picante... they all seem to overlap somewhat. I have a recipe that calls for picante and enchilada sauce, so I googled the difference, which led me to more comparisons between picante and salsa rather than what I wanted to know. It seems picante is considered hotter. At...

    Show me your brussels sprouts recipes!

    Need I say more? :lol: Nothing too fancy, but I don't want to remember that childhood experience of my parents thinkg they could outlast me and make me eat something that stank like cabbage. Of course, I eat a lot of things now that I didn't eat them. Bring it on!

    Chowhound's Garlic Heat Finishing Sauce

    Here's a little concoction I came up with a couple weeks ago. I duplicated it last night, actually measuring as I went. It packs a lot of heat and a lot of flavor. It's not suicide hot, not burn your mouth hot (kinda), but I wouldn't give it to anyone under 12 or over 70 :wink: It reheats well...

    Attaining finished temps

    I put a butt on the WSM yesterday and for the first time, I could not reach about 200F for the finished meat temp. That butt was on there for around sixteen hours at decent smoking temps, and the last two were foiled, but it was stuck on 177F. Now, the meat had already stalled at 163 for a...

    Probably chicken fried steak for me, if they still smell OK. They were thawed yesterday... And mashed cauliflower and garlic. In the meantime... (I had a mishap with one egg getting waterlogged :sad:)

    My condolences, L2Q...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH2hWwD5Qfg Not only did the Vikings lose, you had to serve your Steeler fan buddy dinner :sorry: Brett should have known better than to turn it over in the red zone with at least a chance to tie. Twice, but the high, hard pass did slip through the receiver's...

    No knead and time frame

    I've only made no knead a few times. I'd like to make it more often, but I have a hard time with the time frame involved. That is, if I'd like to enjoy a fresh loaf with dinner. Let me explain. From Joe V's site (my condensing): 12 to 20 hours first rest 1 to 1-1/2 hours second rest 3/4 hour...

    I'm looking for a cooking show

    I saw a cooking show and I have no idea what channel it was on or (obviously) what the cook/chef's name was. I want to try to hunt down his crouton recipe, but need his name to do so. If in fact he has a site or is on FN. I don't know if he cooks this way all the time, but he was in "his...

    Smoker mod

    Not really a mod to the actual smoker, a WSM, but this should help in nasty weather smoking. This plastic drum, that I cut the top and bottom out of, should give me a nice little windbreak no matter the wind's direction. It gives me a 2" air pocket all the way around for an insulating effect. I...

    Food Thermometers

    I recently tested my thermometers in boiling water and just one, the candy thermometer I use in the lid of my smoker, was off just a little. I moved the red slide arrow to indicate where I thought 225 would be, counting the 9 degree error. Problem 1: Yesterday my smoker took a small temp dip...

    Pickin' grapes (pics)

    Here's a series of pics I snapped out the front window yesterday. This is how they pick grapes around here. Basically what you see is a tractor mounted on top of a thrashing type machine. It's hard to see how tall this is from the pics, but the pickers that have shade canopies on them have been...

    Dinner Sat, Oct 17th

    And with my 5000th post, I'll ask y'all what you have on the menu today? Dinner for me will be a grilled ribeye, probably with some kind of mushroom or cheese sauce. And a grilled potato and green beans. Prior to that I am going to take some leftover fried veggies from the other night, fry...

    Telephone/call block question

    I tried to call a business today that was long distance, so I used my cell phone, which has caller ID block on it on my end. Now, this is a business... yet I got a message saying to unblock my number. New one on me. If I tried that shit I'd lose half my customers. My question is; can they see...
