    KitchenAide Attachments

    Our Kitchen Aide did lots of sausage for us and worked well - the only issue I had was the height of the unit after attaching the grinder and tray - I had to reach way up to force the meat through the throat of the stuffer (a sensible person would put the unit on a lower table, but hindsight is...

    Grandpa Valery and the Cadillac

    Grandpa Valery came from a small town in the mountains of Sicily and at the turn of the century there weren't many automobiles in his area. So after he immigrated to the US he was astounded by the number of cars and trucks on the roads and he began a love affair with autos that lasted all his...

    Rubber Wings

    IMHO chicken wings are one of the few things that don't do well on a smoker. If you want crispy skin there's an easy way to get it - Deep Frying - I know I'll probably get ostracized by the master smokers here but rubbery skinned wings creep me out - And to show you how wierd I am check this...

    Help with Pastrami?

    Great Stuff Bossman, Thanks! The rubs themselves are worth the effort just to have on the shelf. I've printed these puppies and added them to the big book of recipes! Old Bill, Thanks for the revision and again for the links - Our company is moving to the Dallas Ft Worth area in June, maybe we...

    Help with Pastrami?

    Hi All, Thanks for your replies and wisdom - I've printed the recipes and procedures and sort of agree with fruitwood or pecan as the logical choice - Hickory is wonderful on BBQ but seems a bit much for Pastrami as I know it. Did a couple slabs of spareribs this weekend and smelled like I'd...

    Help with Pastrami?

    Hi Guys and Gals, I've been wanting to try making Pastrami in the smoker and have google the web looking for info - There's plenty but very little to do with what type of wood to smoke the brisket with. I'm sure some of you have experience with this tasty treat and I'm asking for your help...

    Muscadine Grapes

    Muscadines and Scuppernongs are beloved treats here in NC - Many local vineyards produce wines from these grapes but on the whole the wines are always a bit thick and sweet for my taste . As Payson stated they have very thick skins and as such I doubt they'd make good raisins - They are, however...

    Canned Pinto Beans

    Hi Old Bill, Never heard of this but I'm going to try it this year in the garden. We do a lot of green beans for canning every year and this sound like a unique and tasty alternative! I wonder how they'd be in a green bean salad? B

    garage with the checkerboard floor - conclusion

    With a slight grin the Barney walked into the other room and produced a length of flexible duct that a common man would use to vent a clothes dryer and placed it over the twin exhaust pipes of the automobile. After placing the other end over the vent that was cemented into the wall at the rear...

    Garage with the checkerboard flor pt 2

    I canâ€8482t speak for the rest of the guys, because I wasnâ€8482t looking at them, but for my part my jaw fell like an egg dropped from a tall chicken… There were convertibles and hardtops – four seater sedans, the few that I recognized held me enthralled – there was a 1968 Daytona...
