    Chicken Sausage and Vegetarian Casings for someone with Alfa-Gal Syndrome

    About 3 years back a good friend got bit by a tick and contracted Alfa-gal Syndrome. They can only eat poultry or fish products. Their diet is pretty boring! Been messing around with some chicken sausage for them and found some flavors they really liked. Chicken thighs work pretty good and...

    MES40 needed a jump start in this cold weather

    It's 9F and windy in central, Missouri and I could not get my MES40 to turn on. The digital screen did not like the temperature. I grabbed an old hair dryer and turned it on in the chamber for about 5 minutes (got it up to 100F) and then for about 5 minutes on the control panel. It was...

    Got a 22 qt. BRINER BUCKET from LEM. Loving it!

    Wow...waited too long to get this. Had to make double the brine recipe (2 gallons instead of 1) to submerge the 16 pound turkey. But it was way easier than dealing with 3 gallon ziploc bags, spring clips and clamps! Had to remove one shelf from the garage fridge to make it fit. Sold on...

    Bunco Dip

    I wasn't sure where to post this - but it has pork sausage... My wife, a career teacher (now retired), with summers off, used to play Bunco with her girlfriends in summer break. She would make what she called "Bunco Dip" for an appetizer. When I would come home from work it would smell good...

    Easy Turkey Salad

    Had a little over 2 pounds of turkey leftover, still...so I used my double-smoked ham-salad recipe and substituted turkey. I used a medium plate...should have used coarse as turkey crumbles easier than ham. It is still yummy. IMPORTANT - Put in all ingredients and 1/2 of the mayo. From...

    Sous Vide - Whole Chicken - Oven Finish question

    The wife and I went out to eat the other night and got to talk to the staff about their delicious "whole chicken" that was cooked to perfection. While they did not divulge all details, it was obviously brined and they did confess to doing "most of the cook" using a sous vide. I am guessing...

    Breakfast Sausage texture question

    I have been making breakfast sausage for a while now. I have been unsuccessfully experimenting with different grinds to get the texture close the what you experience with eating Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage. My breakfast sausage seems to have close to the firmness of a cooked pork-burger. I...

    These 18, 3-oz. packages will be joining 11 other 3-oz. packages in my deep freeze. All were made with beef, eye-of-round which is my favorite meat for making jerky.

    Re-Planting an acre of Perennial Pollinator at my farm in the next couple of weeks (waiting on rain to be in the forecast). Planted it this past May but the drought wiped it out - ugh! We already have 5 acres of native prairie plants and warm season grasses. Looking to expand on this...

    Where do you get your jerky flavor packets from?

    I have been using www.OwensBBQ.com for getting jerky flavor packs and cure for several years. Love their products but was wondering if there some other providers that I should consider as well. I just ran out and need to place an order.

A couple of us at church make sausage and we have been handed the following recipe so he can get a taste of home between his infrequent trips back to the old-country. It is a fresh sausage, like a bratwurst, so I...

    Is this mushroom - Hen of the Woods?

    Mushrooms are not technically a vegetable but the USDA classifies them as such...so the question is posted here. I did 20 acres or so of TSI (timber stand improvement) on my farm a couple of years back. This past late winter, we used prescribed fire to burn up the downed timber and also...

    Had some friends over this evening for a quick BBQ. Decided to have a little fun and made big shot glass burgers (Texas sized shot glass - think small juice glass). This only requires about 5.5 oz. of burger as compared to the 16 oz. for the original beer can burgers (look it up on...
