    Dry vs Wet brine

    Can anyone tell me the advantage or reason to use one method vs. the other when it comes to brining trout/ salmon? I normally use the dry method but Im open to new better ideas. Thank.

    Snack Sticks

    I would like some opinions on "store bought" snack stick mixes like the ones sold at Bass Pro or Lem. I would also like to hear any personal recipes that are better than the premix stuff. Thanks

    Turkey Brining

    How long would you say is too long to brine a turkey? I am going out of town Monday morning for work and won't return home until Wednesday night. I was thinking of putting the turkey in the brine Sunday night and then take it out on Thursday. Is that too long?

    Collagen sausage casings

    Has anyone used collagen casings to make kielbasa? If so, does it work well? Im in the Charlotte, NC area and not sure where to get natural casings and the collagen seem very convenient also. Thanks, Tom

    Ground pork smell/odor

    I picked up a couple of pounds of ground pork today at Harris Teeter.  The smell concerns me.  The sell by date isn't for a couple more days but I not sure of the smell.  The meat also felt very soft, is ground pork very soft? Thanks Tom

    That was a great post.  I'm always looking for new less boring dishes.  I'll be sure to make these this weekend.  Where do I find the puff pastry?  Is it in the freezer section with bread and pizzas?  Thanks again.  Please feel free to send me the secret spice recipe.
