    Attempting home made pasta for the first time

    Nice! I'd been doing the wider noodles and tried spaghetti size, but they taste the same and the wider ones are easier to deal with. I had the impression that 00 was basically just all purpose flour....

    Is there a Mayberry anymore?

    When I moved and bought a house here on the far northwest side of Indianapolis the area was a jewel of the city for shopping, dining, etc. In the last 18 years things have just gone downhill. Lafayette Square Mall is a huge empty building now with a huge parking lot. One by one all the...

    Muenster Bread

    Ok, folks, I haven't been on-site for a while (for no particular reason), so I thought I'd post something so you all won't call me a slacker. If you like cheese you'll like this one.... This turned out awesome! The cheese didn't ooze out (probably because of the egg in the mix). Muenster is...

    Video games?

    I played Far Cry 4 for a while and frankly just got tired of driving around shooting. I've become addicted to Elder Scrolls Skyrim. I was about to give it up because of all the door opener puzzles when I found a website that had quest walk throughs and puzzle solutions. I suppose that's...

    My Try at Jeff's Wooster Brisket

    Nothing wrong with "choice" packers, that's all I've ever used. I have a ten pounder in the freezer and this might be something a little different. What flavor smoke? What cooking temp were you shooting for? I'd be doing it in an offset and 260 to 280 is about where it likes to run. Just saw the...

    Grandma's Scalloped Potato recipe.

    Bookmarking this. I'm always looking for potato recipes. I'm a little tired of mashed and fried and this would go with any meat. :emoji_thumbsup:

    Anyone else notice Pork shoulders/butts are 'Different'?

    Most of the butts around here are from Smithfield's and I haven't noticed any difference. They've always varied a bit....

    Whats your secret ingredient?

    I've been using Accent (MSG) in a lot of things lately, especially sausage.

    Rye Bread

    Ok, I went with the one @thirdeye pointed us to. Plan on spending a whole day with all the rising time ( I got started at 9:30 and didn't bake until almost 7:00), but it was worth it. This is a keeper. Soft interior and somewhat chewy crust but not a hard crust. Dan P.S. I made my top cuts...

    Ever file an amended tax return? OMG!

    What updating do they need? Are they running Widows 95 or something? If they're "allowed" to hire 75,000 new agents, each needing a computer, workspace, salary and benefits I'm just not buying it....

    Video games?

    Standalone. I can't sit still for that long and I wouldn't be able to keep up with those folks. I did get rid of my vampirism, though. Just had to pay my bounty (5000 gold, which is pocket change for me) and go through the ritual. Pretty painless and now I can go out in the daylight. Now that I...

    Video games?

    I've been playing Elder Scrolls Skyrim for almost two months and am only at 42%. This game is huge. A little more "magic" than I like but not too bad. I apparently got bit by a vampire (again) and didn't know it until I started showing symptoms and now I have to see a dude in a town with a...

    Non salty ham rub needed

    Firing up the Highland for the first time this year for a 12# shank portion and going with a Pineapple Turmeric glaze. Lot of hams going on this weekend :emoji_slight_smile:

    Rye Bread

    I don't keep a journal per se, but every recipe I try I either print out or write on 8.5 x 11 paper or a 3x5 card and make notes on them.

    Non salty ham rub needed

    I don't use a rub on double smoked ham, just a glaze toward the end, but you can substitute one of the no salt type substitutes (Pottasium Cloride) for the "real" salt if you just want the salty flavor. I started using it for a lot of things a few years ago for the Mrs' low sodium diet. You...

    Rye Bread

    I think the rise was my problem. I used the recipe on the back of the King Arthur bag and it only specified about 2hrs first rise and 1hr second rise. Mine just didn't want to rise so I gave up and just baked. I thought my yeast had gone bad but I tried an Italian loaf next day and it was fine...

    Chicken & Dumplings

    Thanks! The ride was a big surprise! I'm not sure what good I'll get out of that lid as a frying pan, though. It's pretty shallow. Maybe for a grilled cheese or rueben?
