There is a gas station in Boiling Springs, NC that has sausage gravy pizza in the mornings. To die for! Well, maybe I was a bit dramatic, but it?s really good.

That looks delicious! Baked onions. . . never heard of that before. I am too late to take a picture unfortunately, but we had Granny?s fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, and cornbread muffins. We went trout fishing after supper, but did not catch any before it started to rain. Well, my sister did catch one little baby, but she threw him back.What type of waters are you in. We used to go up to Nantahala and fish the wild trout. My brother and I would go back there for a week long trips, canoed across the lake, stash the canoe in the bushes and backpack our way up the streams. Went 18 miles deep and 18 miles out one time eating nothing but fresh fish. Many good trips out there.
There is an old cemetery back in the hills there with many illegible or unmarked stones. I do mean stones, rocks pulled from the ground. I remember one that is just engraved, here lies a black man. No telling the age of them.

We stayed there for sort of a summer vacation a few years ago, and it was a great time. We fish regularly in the Tuckaseegee, which is really close to our house. It's hatchery supported waters mostly, although we recently started trying the wild waters farther upstream. My little sister and I had better luck the other night. We found a little pool where a bunch of trout were congregated and pulled out 3 rainbows from that one spot. We lost the last one though because our net broke and he got away! He was THIS BIG!! No, just kidding, he was kind of little actually. :cheesy:

It said, "Mrs. Polly Mathis" and the date was in the 1860s, I believe. I'll see if I can dredge up the picture I have of it. I love old cemeteries and thinking about the lives of the people who are buried there.

The biggest I ever lost in wild water was a gooooood fish. There was a series of falls. I climbed up and was hanging from the edge in the waterfall, casting into a pool that was fed by the next fall. I hooked a goooood one for a wild stream. Probably 14-16?. Only my fly rod and eyes were above the rim of the pool. Needless to say that?s not a fighting position, one handed and ten feet off the ground, but it was a good approach, or at least a fun one.What type of waters are you in.

Bacon and Russian salad, hot chicken sandwiches, and homegrown peas. The peas were a little tough though, they're on their way down.I?m intrigued by the salad. I can?t quite make it out from the picture, but it kinda reminds me of a creamed cabbage dish mom used to make. Hers didn?t have the bacon, but had melted cream cheese covering every bite.

My mom made the breading batter herself, but a box mix is an ingredient, and she bought the hot dogs of course, but she breaded and fried the corn dogs herself.

Wine berries from the back yard, and black berries from the dirt road.Your girls did a great job! I bet those will taste so good! Our blackberries aren't quite there yet, but the black raspberries are. I was picking around at them in the garden the other day. Blueberries are getting close too. We have a pick your own blueberry farm basically right next door to us, so we'll be getting our fill of those pretty soon.

2) once you coat the berries in sugar, eat more berries than go in the pie.

Impossible Chicken and Broccoli Pie
Ingredients
10 oz. frozen chopped broccoli, thawed but not cooked
3 cups shredded cheddar, divided
1 1/2 cups cooked chopped chicken
2/3 cup chopped onion
1 1/3 cups milk
3 eggs
3/4 cup Bisquick
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Blot broccoli well with paper towels. Excess liquid from broccoli will make pie runny. Grease 10 in. pie plate. Mix broccoli, 2 cups cheese, chicken, and onion in pie plate. In a blender mix milk, eggs, Bisquick, salt, and pepper until smooth, about 15 seconds. Pour liquid mixture slowly over ingredients in pie plate. Bake 40-50 min. or until knife in center comes out clean. Top with rest of cheese and put back into oven until cheese is just melted. Let cool a bit before slicing so pie holds together better.
Note: Mom lays a piece of foil on the top of the pie partway through baking if it seems to be getting too dark on the top to prevent it from getting overly browned and crunchy.

here is my custard recipe. It's from my GGrandmothers old recipe book. We cracked up every time we pulled it out because she was such a propper teetotaler.
preheat oven to 300
12 eggs
4 cups of milk
big pinch of salt
cinnamon to taste (I use about 2 tsp and you can add ginger and or nutmeg)
vanilla to taste (about one healthy tsp)
1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar
beat the hell out of it :grin:
pour into a glass bowl and set the bowl in a dish of water. cook until just firm in the center. Cool in water on the countertop. Cover and chill in an icebox.
I make mine in individual serving bowls and use a glass sheet cake pan for the water they sit in. Good way to use some of those extra eggs at this time of the year!

All day breakfast again for us. We do breakfast for dinner about once a week. Tonight it's sausage gravy over homemade biscuits, Sofitel eggs, and Fresh Summer Fruit Salad.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
So Sofitel eggs requires some explaining. My father, my sister, and I went to see a Washington Capitals playoff game in DC in 2018, the year they won the Stanley Cup. It was an amazing experience all around, and in DC we stayed at a hotel called The Sofitel. They had THE BEST scrambled eggs we had ever had in our lives, and when we got home we demanded Mom figure out how to make them. She did some research and found online a trick that many hotels use to make their scrambled eggs: heavy cream instead of milk and a little bit of baking powder. She gave it a try and they were just like we remembered. We don't ever have normal scrambled eggs anymore, because they are so so good.

We have chickens, which means we have extra eggs. (If you watched the rifle sling video, you heard the rooster crowing relentlessly). It?s been a while since I made up a batch of lemon curd. I might try Kathy?s ?s custard. My wife does like a custard pie.

Member, the girls did good! I have never had homemade mozzarella.. I bet is was great!!
We use to make homemade Ice Cream from custard my Mama would prepare! Vanilla, Strawberry, and Peach were my favorites. We would rotate from fest to fest. I need to ask her for a copy of the recipes. Good stuff!
A true story: A few years ago we made a visit to Washington DC. We took in all the sights and History we possibly could for the time we were there. The last night there we had dinner at Gadsby's Tavern in Alexandria Virginia. This place was PACKED with history! Just outside of the front door on the corner was a underground, brick laced, silo type deep pit and build well. We learned this was built for the sole purpose of storing ICE. Ice which was placed there each winter, cut, blocked, and stacked from the Potomac River just a couple blocks away! Of course ICE was a rare commodity in Alexandria Virginia in the summertime. Remember, there was no usable electricity in the time of George Washington. Actually this tavern was Georges' favorite eating and meeting place when he was in town. (As I said this place is packed with history!). Anyway Gadsby's Tavern was well renowned for having Ice Cream even in Mr Washington's day! I posted about the evening here a few years ago. If anyone is interested I will try and look up the topic.

I am happy to tell you that I had the honor of visiting Mt Vernon! What a grand experience! We also had dinner at The Gadsby's Tavern Restaurant in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. We discovered this wonderful historically packed restaurant and tavern while taking a night tour of the Old Town of Alexandria, on foot, via lantern light. We were so impressed that we came back on our on the next night for the dinner. This place is packed with history, not only from the early days, but also during the Cilvil War according to our (dressed in colonial attire), tour guide. This place is where George Washington choose as a favorite dining place, (and was said to be the premiere house in America), when he was in Alexandria conducting business. Just outside the building is a brick lined, several feet deep, round under ground silo or cellar which was used to store ice during the summer months. Ice that was gathered form the Potomac River during the deep cold of winter and stored here. Ice during these times was a luxury and rare. It was used to make a favorite treat, Ice Cream! The Gadsby Inn, (as a side line of income), was in the Ice business selling this very expensive commodity during the summer to other restaurants and private citizens who might be fortunate enough to afford it, for a premium price of course. Many members of Congress, some who would later themselves become President, would meet here to have dinner with Mr Washington as well as dignitaries form all over the world. Upon his retiring from public service the Continental Army marched past here with President Washington standing on the steps of this very Inn.
Although history tells us that the Battle of Fort Sumter was the first battle of The Cilvil War, (with no causalities), according to our nighttime dressed in colonial attire guide, the first causality of The Cilvil War was in this very building! According to what he told us there was a huge Confederate Flag flying over this ''skyscraper'' of the day. (only three or four stories tall) This flag could be seen from our Nations Capitol and Ole Abe just couldn't stand the sight of it so close to Washington. Supposedly he sent some specially picked troops there to take it down. The proprietor of the Inn shot the bearer of the flag dead on his way down the stair way making him the first causality of the war. Now guess who the second causality was? The proprietor! One of the escorting troops shot him!! We greatly enjoyed this dinner with the waiters and waitresses dressed in the attire of the days of our First President and the warmness of eating in the same room and Inn with so much history! The meal was delicious!!

We do homemade ice cream occasionally, but this is the first time we've tried it with the goats milk. Oh man, I need to get me some peach ice cream, that sounds soooo good! If we could just get good peaches around here. We haven't been able to for several years now.

Ice which was placed there each winter, cut, blocked, and stacked from the Potomac River just a couple blocks away! Of course ICE was a rare commodity in Alexandria Virginia in the summertime. Remember, there was no usable electricity in the time of George Washington. Actually this tavern was Georges' favorite eating and meeting place when he was in town. (As I said this place is packed with history!). Anyway Gadsby's Tavern was well renowned for having Ice Cream even in Mr Washington's day! I posted about the evening here a few years ago. If anyone is interested I will try and look up the topic.Oh that is awesome! My family spent a good portion of my childhood in the Historic Triangle area of Virginia, so I really grew up around living history. It really instilled in me an undying love for history. I remember seeing ice houses in Williamsburg too. Around here in the mountains, settlers didn't have access to ice, so they made spring houses for keeping goods chilled. They would construct a small building with a hole in the floor overtop of a stream. Our mountain water is around 50-60 degrees F in the summer, and colder in the winter, so they would store semi-perishable foodstuffs in containers in the cold water of the stream. Incidentally enough, my mom used to do the same thing when she went to the mountains with her father. Her and her friend would buy a case of beer and store it in the river to keep it cool! :wink: :cheesy:

That?s pretty cool, and looks really good too.Might be more burgers, WITH EGG, for the 4th.We're having burgers WITHOUT EGG for the 4th. :cheesy: We tried to do burgers on the fire pit for like 3 years in a row on July 4th and it always rained, so we gave up last year and grilled on the porch. Good thing we did, because it rained, and it might rain again this year. My dad has been harping on custard ever since we mentioned it, so Mom might give that a try too.
We have chickens, which means we have extra eggs. (If you watched the rifle sling video, you heard the rooster crowing relentlessly). It?s been a while since I made up a batch of lemon curd. I might try Kathy?s ?s custard. My wife does like a custard pie.

Our supper tonight was based on the fact that my sister as been experimenting with making stuff out of goats milk.
Homemade pizza with our first ever homemade mozzarella!

We also made ice cream and caramel sauce, both from goats milk. The caramel sauce is good, but the ice cream didn't exactly set up right. We'll have to try a different recipe next time.

That?s a good custard @ Kathy.My mom is really interested in trying it too. Referring to Kathy's great grandmothers recipe, Mom would like to know a little more detail about "beat it to hell". :cheesy: Seriously though, is that beat it to hell with a whisk? With a mixer? What does it look like when you have mixed it enough?

My great grandmother used a whisk. I use an electric mixer. I beat it until it is foamy and let the foam settle, then beat it again for good measure. :cheesy: The cinnamon and whatever else you put in it will separate a bit and come to the top when it cooks but that's OK.
I put the temp above at 300, but it takes a long time to cook at that temp. You can do it at 325 but you'll have a bit tougher "skin" on it that way. Just don't over-cook it.

Do you guys just eat it plain? My mom was thinking about making like a raspberry sauce for it or something. Like I said, she was never much for this sort of thing, so she's not really sure how to serve it.

Kathy has 12 eggs and a little sugar.
Our recipe has 4 eggs, a little flour and one and 3/4 cups sugar.
Kathys was good. Very different.
I eat chilies poblanos at every Mexican restaurants can find them at. None compare to mine, but that?s beside the point. They are wildly different between restaurants.

It probably would have looked nicer if I had plated it together, but this is a meal where Mom has to make everyone's entrees in succession, and I didn't want my potatoes to be cold since I wasn't anywhere near first today.

We made sandwiches with our leftover chicken tonight. BBQ on ciabatta rolls with homegrown pickled peppers and homegrown potato salad on the side. (No zucs tonight finally! :grin:) Eating in front of the TV tonight with the NASCAR race running late. Alan, if you are listening, you'll be happy. Kyle Busch had the pole and was leading the race when on lap 8 there was a sudden rain shower, and the car spun in the water, backed into the fence, and he was done for the day. :sad: He was jacked that NASCAR had taken so long to throw the yellow and let them know through their proxy, the pace car! :cheesy:

Yet I have not seen one post of hoop cheese, bologna, or even sardines and crackers! :shocked: Not even for a quick luncH! Hum? :wink:I was just about to post some lunch. I forgot to take a supper picture, but here are the leftovers. Mom tried a new recipe, zucchini hamburger mac. It was very good, especially with homemade honey wheat bread on the side! Bologna I eat occasionally, but it's not my favorite sandwich. I can honestly say I have never had a sardine, cracker or no. Hoop cheese? Is that like farmer cheese? My sister tried making some farmer cheese a week ago, but it didn't really work.

Yes similar. I am afraid it has went the way of the 'Buffalo'. It seems even the name, Buffalo, is headed to near extinction along with the creature of its namesake. Now known as Bison. lol.

Great with a dab of Mayo. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210814/eed51fcec39a48548c6685f1365e6453.jpg)

Just spaghetti and meatballs for us tonight, although we did have some of our first homemade butter for our bread. It's so good, so much sweeter and creamier than store bought.

Whatever, they ate it. I had leftovers from last nite.
The antelope was from last year in Wyoming. Maybe one day we will have them around here. JK.

Its lean and more like goat. It does taste like what I relate to the sage like smell that they have when you are up close to one. It is often prepared in heavily spiced or seasoned dishes.
I did a taste test last year with potstickers, which are very seasoned. I made whitetail potstickers and antelope potstickers the same nite. I ate the antelope ones first, and they were delicious. Then I started in on the whitetail ones. They were delicious as well, and no change in flavor detected. Then I switched back to the antelope and they were still good, but I noticed the strong sage like musk flavor. Still good, knowing what it is. Then back to the venison and noticed the lack of said taste.
The next morning for breakfast I did the same routine on a smaller scale with the same results.
It is a thing that with heavy seasoning, the sage like flavor blends into the surrounding spices as if it is a spice or herb itself, until compared directly with a different meat.
I?ve not done anything simple such as a burger, since it can be a little overpowering to those timid about game meat.

Pot roast and some 57.That looks like a nice comfort food meal. I've never eaten Heinz 57 straight out of the bottle. My mom uses it in cooking sometimes, but it's not something we use as a dipping sauce for whatever reason.

Member I agree 57 is good in cooking but is also delicious, in my opinion, straight out of the bottle for certain meats. When we go out to a steakhouse, and you happen to see me add 57 as a dipping or topping sauce; It means the steak was not up to par and needing help! But with roast as 30 shows, mum; so soo good! lol I can almost taste it now 30! Keep em coming!

Looks good Member. Tell us about the honey butter..It's easy to make. You take 2 sticks of room temperature butter and whip it in the mixer with the paddle attachment for about a minute, so it gets nice and creamy, then add 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1/3 cup of honey and salt to taste (we add 1/4 tsp.). Mix it in the mixer until all the ingredients are incorporated and the mixture is light and creamy, and enjoy! We usually put it on biscuits, but it's great on toast too.

Same here, I prefer tea.
I never learned to like coffee. I was always told that it was a learned taste. That never made any sense to me. I either like something or I don?t.
Same with clothes. I never went along with the continually changing stiles. I think it is a bunch of hog wash to force people to buy something they don?t need.

Member,I totally agree. Why would I drink something that tastes bad, until it tastes good? Why wouldn't I just drink something that tastes good right now? It's the same with alcohol for me. I have tried it, and I don't like the taste of it, and I don't see any point in learning to. As far as clothes go, I buy all my clothes at Goodwill or other thrift shops, so I can mix and match my own style. Why would I want to look like everyone else anyway?

It was just the opposite for me. I liked coffee but not tea. Until; my first teenage day in the hayfield, as I was "volunteered" to become a 'professional' square bale hay hauler, (all summer), lol...." We had plenty of water that first day, but when supper time rolled around, tea never tasted better! lol

My 15-year-old sister has been really into helping my mom in the kitchen lately, so last night, for my mom's birthday, my sister cooked an entire meal all by herself for the first time, the first of any of us kids to do so. She had a great time listening to music and having the kitchen all to herself. She made cucumber salad, hash brown casserole, and Pillsbury cornbread muffins.Nothing wrong with that meal.

Roughly: one medium butternut squash cooked (you can bake or nuke it). scrape meat into pot One or two chopped onions. A couple of good size carrots grated. One or two diced potatoes. Salt, pepper, red pepper flakes if you like it spicy, garlic, thyme. Sometimes I add a bay leaf.
You can slow cook it or do it on the stove until the potato and onion are done. If you like it creamy, blend or whip it. I like my chunky. If you want, let it cool a bit and add some cream or 1/2 & 1/2. Makes it richer.
The potatoes thicken it as it sits. You can skip the carrot if you want but it adds a bit of body.
I don't really have measurements because I just do it to taste. Even better the second day :grin:
Oops, forgot the chicken broth. I use one of those boxes of broth unless I have some homemade in the freezer. Blend it in with the squash and then add all of the above.

I have totally gotten into oatmeal recently. No one else in my household likes it much, and I started experimenting with some that we had lying around, and now that I know how to make it like I like it, I love it. I usually make mine with a spoonful of honey, a spoonful of brown sugar, a pinch of salt, a sprinkle of pollen, and a handful of sliced almonds, dehydrated apples, and craisins.I like the Steel Cut Oat Meal.

My mom made a huge batch of whoopie pies for Thanksgiving. She did traditional chocolate ones, chocolate with peanut-butter filling, and she also made pumpkin ones, which I didn't include in the picture because something went wrong with them and the cookies kind of melted. They'll probably still taste good, but they weren't really photogenic! :wink: :cheesy:

Here's our Thanksgiving meal all laid out. From left to right we have filling, turkey (my mom and I always cook and carve up the turkey the previous day, as she finds all that on Thanksgiving day to be too hard to manage), two cranberry sauces (one with whole berries and one without as we have about half people who like berries and half who don't), squash casserole, creamed corn, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, mashed potato casserole, whoopie pies, and my sister's fudge and peanut butter pinwheels. We also had warm turkey gravy on the stove.Looking good. Ours was low key. Serve out of the pot or pan and eat. I didn?t take any action photos of that, and fell behind on the cooking pics too.

Seared and seasoned, then beef stock, garlic, onion and a bit of red wine. Into the oven with a lid for a few hours.

Yes I think you are right. Maybe the response I replied to Brian on another topic will clarify and explain where and why I said what I did.

Phil you would make a great preacher.
Thanks Ace, I do not feel I am good enough to be a preacher. I will give you one example. I could give many.....
Just yesterday I was reading replies and ran across Salvos' in the Cooking topic. Sal is always cutting up. I love Sals quick wit and humor. I took a quick glance of his posted food picture and assumed this was a picture posted in good humor, poking fun about his lunch, an 'older, mature' banana :)
I went as far as to post a replied comment, appreciating his humorous side.
After taking closer look on the PC instead of the phone screen, I can see that the banana was no banana at all, but some sort of sausage. Meaning a legitimate straight up post by Sal.
It 'was not' my intention to offend Sal, while looking back, I might have done.
It 'was' my intention to 'complement' what I perceived to be Sals' good humor. I made a mistake which might have hurt Sals feelings.
When looking at the picture I was thinking; "If Sal were to eat that rotten banana, he would be puking about supper time".
The joke I thought Sal intended, is the now the joke on me.

Late night hotel room supper. The gas station next door had all the essentials though. Feels weird buying a $6 honey bear at a 7/11 because you didn?t come prepared. Microwaving frozen nuggets in a paper coffee cup, no issue. Buying honey, weird. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211213/98f4495314d7fa842435278d0d8bad36.jpg)I'd go one step further than weird. I'm borderline grossed out by honey that isn't sourced from a beekeeper. Who knows what Chinese corn syrup could be in it. :shocked:

A bowl of cold oatmeal and molasses followed by a cup of anger and despair.

It says filtered honey as the only ingredient. I did look at that before I ponied up the cash. But I?m not up to snuff in the labeling laws, so I could have been swindled with snake oil. I?ll have to say though, it tastes nothing like mine.The trouble with adulterated honey is it's extremely difficult to detect. Here's an article from Dadant about it, which is a little old, and a more recent one from Wired.

Some mornings its a toss up..We keep looking for a opportunity to try some sorghum. We've never had any, and it's a such a classic southern and mountain staple. It goes back to the days of the Civil War, if I remember correctly, because sugar was difficult to get due to the Union blockade.
Post by: Ben Framed on December 13, 2021, 10:42:56 pm
Be careful of what you buy. Make sure it is real sorghum. Unfortunately some are cutting it with sugar cane molasses. I had a friend that stopped at the famous place in Missouri where they throw the rolls to you; (literally). I do not remember the name of the place but she picked up a quart for me. When I tasted it I was disappointed, I knew instantly this was not it. It only had a faint taste of sorghum. I read the fine print of the can which stated sugar cane Molasses was added. Bummer! Kind of reminds me of the warning you pointed out to 30 about adulterated honey.
I hope you can find the real deal! Mum mum and mum good!! Lol 😂

Hi Folks,I use the free version of the Tapatalk app on my phone. It?s super easy to post, but because I don?t want to pay for it, I only get to post so many pictures a month and then I get cut off. I tend not to resize pictures and post since it?s such a pain in the butt, so I usually just stop posting. That seems easier than opening the photo in the resize it app, going through five steps there and saving a duplicate in my photo album, then going to the full website and uploading a crappy looking compressed photo. I?d just rather not.
It's CHRISTMAS!

It was 4:30 in the morning and the house was silent except for the popping of the wood stove as it cooled. The stove was against the wall in the main room of the old house. The stove had last been fed late the nite before and all that remained was a small bed of coals giving a little light to the immediate area in the room. Through the doorway into the kitchen I could hear the coffee pot mimicking the cadence of the wood stove as it dripped my morning coffee into the carafe and an occasional puff of steam hissing would disrupt the pattern of the coffee pot and wood stove as they seemed to be whispering to each other about something I couldn?t discern, but they seemed at peace about the matter.

The fact of the matter is the stove is neither against or resting against the pine tongue and groove wall, we should work on that descriptor, cause that sounds like a fire hazard. How about ?along? the wall?

The last sentence has the word seemed twice. You might find a different word than seemed to replace the first one. I like the sound of the second use of the word better than the first. Another option is to add the whispering part back to the other already long sentence, and let the last part stand alone.

But don?t let it be lost on you that a picture is worth 1,000 words, and I did pay the .99 cents. Tomorrow you might just get a picture of the mug from the sippers perspective with the glowing stove in the backdrop. Or is that often repeated statement not so true?I think it depends on the picture and the words, but I'd say you definitely got a good deal! :happy:That was a mental picture about my coffee. If you think that impressive, wait until you hear about the the can of baked beans I?m gonna heat up later when the BBQ is ready.I agree heartily with both of your edits. I also wish there was a way remove last the "coffee pot and wood stove" as those nouns are repeated a lot in the paragraph. Is it clear if we change that to "the two"?
You are totally welcome to change my masterpiece. :)
The fact of the matter is the stove is neither against or resting against the pine tongue and groove wall, we should work on that descriptor, cause that sounds like a fire hazard. How about ?along? the wall?

They seemed to be whispering to each other about something I couldn't discern, but they seemed at peace about the matter.
The last sentence has the word seemed twice. You might find a different word than seemed to replace the first one. I like the sound of the second use of the word better than the first. Another option is to add the whispering part back to the other already long sentence, and let the last part stand alone.

Four-thirty this morning the house was nearly silent except for the popping of the wood stove as it cooled from it?s nite?s work. It sat along the narrow side wall in the main room of the old house that led to an opening into the kitchen and down the hall. The stove had last been fed late the night before, and all that remained was a small bed of coals giving a little light to the immediate area in the room, hardly enough light to walk by, but enough to signal that it still had some life inside.

Where is the egg?
I?m not in the wrap everything in bacon crowd when it comes to game meat, but I do like to grind a half pound of bacon into a pound of ground venison when I do burgers.
Might be worth a shot. I mix a little salt and pepper in when I combine the bacon.

Baaaaheheheh or whatever a goat sounds like.Goats actually very much say "Meh". Sometimes they draw it out like "meeeeeeeeh" or "meeeheheheh", and sometimes they make it more staccato by lengthening the "m" like "mmmmeh".
Where is the egg?
Right, because the first time we eat goat burgers we're going to smother them in breakfast. :wink: :cheesy:

Maybe we'll try that in the future. We did find it lacking in salt/pepper, which my mom kind of anticipated, but we really wanted to try it plain the first time.

The goat burgers were DELICIOUS! All of us liked them the same or better than beef burgers. The meat was leaner and less mushy than store-bought beef, but not at all dry, and it had great flavor.
Member when I was small their was an old man who, (each year for our annual church homecoming), would Bar-Be-Que a goat. It was always a hit!

I just put them in quart jars and sit in the oven about an inch apart from each other at 240 degrees for four hour. Then turn the oven off while making real sure the door is never opened and then let them sit over night before moving. We have put pork in when I was young but lately just chunked up deer and salt. It is good to eat cold or hot. I read that it is dangerous and so only say what we do not what others should do. Some people hate instant mashed potatoes but if you are in a hurry you can add a little water to the deer and thicken with corn starch and have a pretty good meal in the time it takes to get water to boil, boom done.That guy I was talking about?s story was, that there was no lid. The fat would solidify on top and seal the jar. I?m sure it can be done as you do, with a commercial lid.
It is really good just cold out of the jar on bread also.

Dukes all the way.My northern roots come out here. Everyone in the south loves Duke's. Yuck! I can't stand the stuff. My mom heavily prefers Hellman's, so that's what we usually have, but Kraft is fine too. We'd like to try making our own sometime, just to see what it's like, but I doubt my mom will ever be truly satisfied with anything but Hellman's. Miracle Whip is the stuff of nightmares, but we have it in the house for recipes and because my dad likes it, but I'll rue the day I accidentally put it on a sandwich. That and the day I used sweet pickles instead of dill on a hot dog, gross! :oops:

Tell your Mom a little-known fact about Hellman's mayonnaise:
Hellman's has been made in England since well before the 20th century.

Hi 15,Hardy-har! :cheesy: Funny story, Sal, but Richard Hellmann, who invented Hellmann's mayonnaise was a Prussian immigrant who lived in NY, which is where the only Hellmann's factory was at the time the Titanic sank. In fact Hellmann's wasn't even sold in the UK until the 60's. REAL fun fact about Hellmann's: the brand of mayo called Best Foods, which is sold west of the Rockies in the US and in Australia, New Zealand, and Asia, is exactly the same as Hellmann's, it's just for some reason sold under a different label in those areas.
Tell your Mom a little-known fact about Hellman's mayonnaise:
Hellman's has been made in England since well before the 20th century. Well-liked in the UK, USA, and especially Mexico, it was incorporated into a number of traditional tasty dishes to give it a new, and much-loved, flavor. Hellman's was so popular in Mexico that many ships, even passenger liners, carried large quantities to New York, then to Vera Cruz, Mexico, for distribution throughout much of that nation, as it became a popular condiment (and therefore profitable cargo).

No Dukes in my part of the South. I have never heard of it until now. We do have Blue Plate and all the grocery store name sake brands as well but; Its Hellmans for most delights. "Hellmans Real Mayonnaise" "Bring out the Hellmans and bring out the best!" Miracle whip is good for a tomato sandwich 'from time to time'.. Showing once again; "Variety is the spice of Life".That's funny, it must be more of a Carolinas thing. I remember seeing it in Virginia too, but it wasn't as universally adored there.

Hi Folks,:cheesy: We actually had a homegrown goat roast the other night. My mom slowcooked it in the Crock Pot with some onion soup mix, and it was delicious. Even better than beef roast, well, store bought beef anyway. I didn't have time to take pictures because one of my sister's goats was showing signs of pre-labor, and we had to eat quick before we had new babies.

I really don?t know if I?ve ever had gumbo.I don't think I've ever had actual gumbo either. Although this begs the question, what exactly makes something gumbo? Since I'm kind of questioning whether only okra and sausage qualifies. :wink:

I thought I'd had it until I spent some time in the south and had real gumbo. It's not just the stuff that you put in for meat and veg, but the seasoning. I don't remember what the guys told me to buy, but I never could find it here. Amazon maybe?
Perhaps some of our southern friends can help out.

I'll eat just about anything, but given a choice, I'll take a pass on okra. Okra and snot were the connection I made :grin:
Mum Mum Mum, I have to face the fact Kathy, that a country girl as yourself don't like okra? Shoot, I love the stuff! The good ole fashioned, boiled- slimy kind. Fried is ok; but boiled is Yum Yum!! :wink:I LOVE okra! It's one of those things I never ate growing up in the north, and I don't know how I lived without it. I love it so much we never have enough to do anything with cooking-wise, because I eat it all raw right off the plant. Just slice it down the middle and sprinkle a little salt. Mmmmm. . . . :tongue: Not everyone in my family likes it, so we don't grow a lot of it. We hardly got any okra last summer, so I hope my mom and sister do better with it in the garden this year.

Just?try?the?egg atop of toasted buns and jalape?o/habanero cheese burgers. Then you can say, I do not not like eggs, Sam I am.Now we have more problems. I have to try jalapenos on a burger. I'd also have to put cheese on my burger. :wink: To be fair, I put cheese on some burgers, but not all.
Those buns look very good. Did they taste as good as they looK? Mom and sister are on it with the baking and cooking.... Yum!They were delicious, but they were a little too large, so next time they are going to make 10 buns out of the dough instead of 8.

I burned the garlic toast. Put it under the broiler all buttered up and seasoned, got to talking to my brother on the phone and next thing you know, out the door it went smoldering and stinking up the house over the yummy lasagna smell.
Once it cooled down I brought it back in and gave it a good scraping and we ate it.

Had some breasts in the fridge. Pounded it to 3/4? thick. Added a seasoning to the meat, then buttermilk and flour/instant potato flakes for the bread with parsley, thyme, and oregano in the dredge. Served over last night?s awesome lasagna with a looooooooooooooooot of Ricotta cheese and Italian sausage, ground beef, red pepper flake, 3-4 different kinds of tomatoes, parm, mozzarella, herbs and seasons. Topped it with more cheese and hit it with the propane torch ( used to light the wood stove ) to melt/bubble/brown the cheese. It went into a warm oven and waited for Mama to get home.

As for the dumplings. They had their chance. I can?t help that I?m off all week and get to eat it 7 times a day by myself.

After that last post I decided I would whoop up my wife some fresh chicken. She got home way later than us, as in kids in bed later, so it worked out.YUM! Many women would kill for a husband who cooks that well, that late, just for them. :grin:
Had some breasts in the fridge. Pounded it to 3/4? thick. Added a seasoning to the meat, then buttermilk and flour/instant potato flakes for the bread with parsley, thyme, and oregano in the dredge. Served over last night?s awesome lasagna with a looooooooooooooooot of Ricotta cheese and Italian sausage, ground beef, red pepper flake, 3-4 different kinds of tomatoes, parm, mozzarella, herbs and seasons. Topped it with more cheese and hit it with the propane torch ( used to light the wood stove ) to melt/bubble/brown the cheese. It went into a warm oven and waited for Mama to get home.

I was hoping it would be as good as the Orange Coke. It wasn?t, and I dig in my heels. It was a mistake. Im gonna double down.I'm not much for soda on the whole, so if you are adamant, I won't push it, but I had it once and I didn't think it was bad. My mom and sister did regret a whole case of it though. They wanted it to be as good as lime Pepsi.

I figure Italian food is kinda like Mexican food.
Mexican-every plate is a combination of beans, rice, cheese and protein
Italian- pasta, sauce, cheese, protein
You can put the sauce on top and call it one thing, and put the sauce on the bottom, and BAM!!, it?s a different dish.
If the rice and beans are on the side it?s a soft taco with a side of rice and beans. If they are inside,,,,wait for it,,,,, it?s a burrito.
Hollow open ended pasta noodles with cheese is macaroni.
Pasta pockets filled with cheese is ravioli. (Ehhh, maybe that?s not the same.)
A round noodle with sauce is spaghetti and a flat noodle with lite sauce is linguine.
Is a tortilla with meat and veggies a Fajita or Chimichanga?

Cooked and Melted together:
Cream and stock left from the dumplings.
Milk
Some herbs and spices from the cabinet.
Found a bag of Italian cheese in the back of the fridge that wasn?t fully green yet.
Pesto added to the sauce at the last minute.
Topped with fresh parsley and red pepper for the win.

About 2 tbsp red pepper flake
A pinch of smoked paprika
A pinch of chipotle pepper powder
A splash (+\- 2 teaspoons) apple cider vinegar
Warmed it in a pan for a few minutes (5-10 min on med heat to get the peppers mingling. Never bubbled, but got real thin.) then strained back into the jar
There is an alarming bite if you try it by itself, but I couldn?t scoop up enough on each bite of chicken or salmon. The salmon was the best. I?m gonna have to do a glazed salmon fillet.

We've used *Honey/Garlic* for years, beef, pork, chicken, pork, pork... In the early seventies a restaurant, The China Bridge, had *honey garkic spare ribs*. A young couple could eat and have fun for less than 10 bucks, and take some home.
We're simple for fish, though. Salt, pepper, maybe dredged or, in the extreme, crumbled Ritz Crackers/bread crumbs to soak up the juices. Love those crisp skins though, fried, grilled.
BTW: Never dealt with salt pork, unless bacon is included. When I was young, one of my favorite suppers was salt cod (soaked and boiled), new potatoes (boiled in their jackets), and boiled and mashed turnip,.... with hot bacon grease spooned over everything!!!!!! GOURMET! Poor man's Finnan Haddie.
The grease had to be hot enough to crackle when spooned on. We all used to moan and laugh when we got a *woody turnip*, but when they were sweet, smiles all around. More bacon grease please! Give me some of those bits! (Remember everybody had that can of bacon grease in the fridge?)
Food like that'll kill you now.

We kept bacon grease not only for lining the bottom of a pan, but for snake bit dogs. A cup full is an excellent snake bit remedy for a bitten dog. When bitten the dog will lap it up. We never lost a dog with this nor had negative results.I've heard of putting bacon grease on a snakebite, but are you saying you fed the dogs bacon grease? Why would that help?

Yes feed the entire cup. I do not know why it works. Maybe part of the reason is because the grease goes into the dogs system instead of just the outer surface? I don't know. (I have heard) that snakebite does not harm hogs. Is this true, again I do not know. What I do know is we had 'several' dogs bitten by snakes through the years, Copperheads and Cottonmouth Moccasins. (no rattlesnakes in my area) Straight to the kitchen for the fix. They will swell but it never failed.
Unlike a city fellow which moved close enough to become a neighbor and a friend. His border collie got snake bit unknown to me until several days later.
Once the swelling went down, the poor thing had which yellowish stinking pus oozing from its neck and later that entire area deteriorated with a stinking nasty open wound that looked 'horrible'! He did take it to the vet but the damage was done. With the proper meds the suffering dog did recover but the entire incident was nothing pretty.
After educating him of bacon grease and himself having more bitten dogs he is now a bacon grease enthusiast. He has henceforth experienced the same good results of bacon grease as the rest of us country hicks. lol
By the way this guy is so much fun. I will have to do a writing on him sometime and place it in the right section. Describing his transformation from a suit wearing city man to a country overall, thumbs in the straps country boy.

It sounds good to me, but a lot of people in my family aren't into spicy, so I'm not sure if we even have the ingredients in the house to make this. We definitely have red pepper flakes, but I doubt we have smoked paprika and chipotle powder. At least the paprika is optional. :cheesy: I also really don't like ACV, so I'd probably go for some other kind of vinegar.

Since my mom isn't into spicy, it's the kind of thing that I should probably take the initiative on, or I might never get any.

They took some of our home freeze dried strawberries and put them through the food processor to make strawberry powder, which they used to make strawberry icing. It's SOOOO good, it's like my new favorite cake.

The cake looks good.I love doing the fire pit. What's the deal with yours? I've never seen one shaped like that. We have one of those tri-legged cauldron-looking fire pits. Also, cute dogs!

You can see the flames coming in from the holes along the rim burning the smoke away.

It?s a solostove. It circulates air like a newer wood stove does and has secondary combustion that burns the smoke. It?s clean burning and you don?t have to keep dodging the smoke.Oh wow! That's really neat! So does the food taste less smoky, because there is minimal smoke?

I suppose that makes sense, but I haven?t paid it much attention. I don?t think a hotdog or marshmallow is over the fire long enough to pick up much smoke flavor anyway.Oh, I'd miss even that. Smelling like smoke is a huge part of the fire pit experience for me! :cool: Although I bet it's nice not having to deal with your eyes burning if the wind is blowing the smoke in your direction. We often do burgers on the fire, and I bet they'd be less smoky.

We've got buttercream balls, peanut butter eggs, and a couple odd chocolate-covered peanut butter Ritz sandwiches just to use up the excess chocolate.Lookin good.

30, I made some hot honey tonight because we had salmon for my sister's birthday. It was SO good. I just mixed 2 teaspoons of Frank's hot sauce into a 1/2 cup of warmed honey. Surprisingly, my mom particularly was all over it. She has already planned two meals to have coming up just for the purpose of highlighting it. She's wants to have some on the counter as a permanent condiment.

Thanks for posting this Sal. "Real Cooking"!I don't know about Harbor Freight (don't have one near me unfortunately) but there are definitely companies that sell them still. My mom was considering getting one. She does have a Dutch oven, but it's a different style than that one, so it can be used on a stovetop as well as in a fire. (It's the pot she used to cook the chicken and dumplings a while back.)

Member I bought mine several years ago and it came in 6 qt size. It is the type with the lip on the top edge for holding coals. You Mom, being interested in this type cooking, will love it! We haven't used ours many times but it is fun to use.. I bet 30 would like one also if he doesn't already have one.

I?m still working on the first jar I made. I?m going to kick it up a little on the pepper flake on the next one and skip the chipotle powder and paprika.
I?m sure franks has a similar vinegar content as to what I made if you figured out the ratios. I did a splash of vinegar to a half pint jar. I remember you had an aversion to vinegar. Just thinking out loud.

Ya know sumpin? I've been mixing up a honey, vinegar, red pepper flakes and mint for Thai/oriental stuff as a dipping sauce. That and a spicey mustard will compliment egg rolls, dumplings, tempura.
Many people don't know that the simple cabbage is the main ingredient to egg rolls. I *pre-cook* the egg roll stuffing and let it cool a bit before rolling it.
Dumplings can be eaten either just steamed or steamed and then fried. Our egg rolls are fried only. They come out more like fat packets.
We don't make the dough wrapper. But the wrapper (and the dumpling wrap) can be bought at the supermarket. It keeps well in the freezer.
Ginger and *Five Spice* or *Seven Spice* is your friend also.
I'm just up waiting on my club*s bee delivery. We got a call about an hour ago. ETA 3:30. 900 packages from Wilbanks.

Did it taste like franks, or just pick up a little heat?Somewhere in the middle. It didn't become Frank's flavored honey, but it took on the tanginess and heat of Frank's that we really like.
I?m sure franks has a similar vinegar content as to what I made if you figured out the ratios. I did a splash of vinegar to a half pint jar. I remember you had an aversion to vinegar. Just thinking out loud.I don't have an aversion to vinegar, I have an aversion to apple cider vinegar. I love most vinegars, and pickles are like my favorite food, but I can't stand ACV for some reason. As I was looking at people's recipes online, it occurred to me that the added ingredients are basically the ingredients in hot sauce, so why not just add a hot sauce that I already like.

Do you have a recipe for that stew that you could share?
My recipe is for a 20gallon pot so would need some adjusting?..
Approx 10lb beef and 10 lb chicken- I used 5 chuck roast and 6 chickens. The meat was precooked in Instapot and pulled apart, cut into pieces
10 lb onions - shredded
2 small heads cabbage shredded
3 - 4 pods hot pepper
10 - 15 quarts stewed tomatoes - add more for color if needed
6lb butter beans
10 lb potatoes shredded
6 lb corn
Salt / pepper to taste
Fry some side meat/ fatback in pot. Then feel pot 1/2 full of water and bring to boil.
Add meat and return to boil - cook for a little until meat starts to shred
Add onions and cabbage - return to boil and cook til tender
Add butter beans cook til tender
Add potatoes (once potatoes added - pot will need to be stirred constantly to avoid burning / scorching)
Add corn and cook.
Stirring is important throughout to avoid scorching.
Total cook time was approx 5 hours. Prep of meats, onions, cabbage was done during week leading up to cooking. Potatoes were prepped night before although once stew is cooked all except butter beans and corn are completely cooked up and can?t be seen.
I put up / froze approx 24 quarts. My son who helped me
Cook took some and some was eaten once cooked by several
Hope that helps!

She said that was the most important thing, just learning how to work with dough until you have a sense of what is normal and what is not. Kind of like beekeeping, I guess. :happy:

Post by: gww on May 01, 2022, 12:42:20 am
When I would get behind on making bread and would have to feed the yeast, I would make sour dough pancakes cause I could not make myself throw away half of the starter every time it needed fed.

Post by: Kathyp on May 01, 2022, 10:49:02 am
I know what you mean about throwing away the starter. I just saved as much of mine as I could in the fridge and used it in the bread. Still had too much!

Can't really get around it but for anything you use flour and water you can use that starter. For awhile I was putting it in the freezer and using as gww did for things like pancakes.

OMG! Deviled eggs! Love *em!
My bee club has several *potlucks* each year. I'm embarrassed if I take more than four halves. Love it when we get multiples.
Tonight? Squash ravitolies! Sage, garlic, nutmeg and some old hard cheese. Sauce with all that and a touch of butter and brown sugar and coconut cream and peacans. A bit o* sherry.
I think I'm gonna get lucky tonight, right after I do the dishes.

Yum Reagan and family! Y'all are eating like Royalty tonight!....... And the added strawberries! .....I love strawberries!Yeah, and we'll be eating it all weekend! We'll have leftovers tonight and tomorrow night, so Mom doesn't have to cook over Mother's Day.
There is a local farm in a town very close to us that is famous for their strawberries, so we always get as many as we can this time of year. Mom made a big batch of jelly with them yesterday too.

Have y?all tried them for breakfast slightly boiled with some sugar? Placed on a Big Hot Cathead Biscuit, gobbled down with Fresh Churned Butter? What a treat!No, but that sounds delicious! We do sugared strawberries sometimes, I bet you could make something similar with them. I'll be trying that next time we get strawberries!
Speaking of breakfast, I made some granola yesterday. Now that it's warm my mom and I haven't really be into eating hot oatmeal for breakfast, so I found a recipe for cold granola cereal online, and it's delicious! It's exactly what we were looking for.

The granola looks good too! Are y'all using your freeze dryer machine to preserve some of your strawberries?Actually the good strawberries don't last long enough to make it to the freeze dryer. :embarassed: We freeze dried some store-bought berries for granola and oatmeal, and for making strawberry powder.

In the back are substitutions that can be made and it was added because of rationing.My mom had that book. It?s I?m my brothers kitchen now.

i grew mushrooms inside and then made soap which I am still using.
For awhile I really wanted to make a wood gasifier.
I have watched you tube and read internet stuff on making hard cheese but have still not made the leap. I really hate getting hooked on these types of projects on the one hand but have been able to use it all so far and I do like cheese. :grin: I do not know what I will end up doing but do appreciate people showing me that it can be done.

JimJust so you know, feel free to PM my sister on the soap forum if you want to talk to her about it. Obviously, this is just our first go round, so she doesn't know that much about it yet, and we don't even know how this cheese will turn out, but she knows way more about it than me. She also just said that if you want, you could join her goat forum, and post on her cheese thread, because no one else is so far! :cheesy: And her soft cheese is ROCKIN' too! I'll post a picture of it on my bagel tomorrow morning. I didn't think anything could replace cream cheese on a bagel, but this absolutely can. It's PHENOMENAL!

She will have to step up to a walk in cooler in the back yard to keep up with production.You might be right, she's already making more this weekend. :wink:
Speaking of cream cheese, I made a double batch of pumpkin roll for my first time last night. I only used half of the spices the recipe called for just like I do when I make pumpkin pie (also last night) as I don't really like the strong spice cake flavor as well as I like the pumpkin flavor. Lots of cream cheese and it was ok but if I do it again I will cut some of the spiced down even more. Thanks for the mention of the forums. I am thinking I am going to not get too wound up right now cause I will be baby sitting my grand kids next week and that takes a whole bunch out of me. But I will remember your sister. I hope you post on it in june when you try it and give you thoughts.I love pumpkin roll, but to me, that's a fall thing to eat. I'll definitely post an update when we finally get to taste cheese.
Thanks

What's it looking like for the Fourth for all of you?
We're keeping it simple, Pearl Kountry Klub franks, beef/pork hamburgers, and a few *accoutrements*. No frills.
Pearl is local to me. Good meats, snappy hot dogs.

It doesn't take much, but I get a kick out of all the photographic evidence posted here.

Hi Folks,So we have tried for like 4 years to do the fire pit on the Fourth of July, but it has rained every year and it's hard to time out the fire with the fireworks in town, so we've finally admitted to ourselves this year that the fire pit does not work on Independence Day. I think my mom is planning on making corn dogs.
What's it looking like for the Fourth for all of you?
I've been totally slacking off on this thread lately. I took some pictures for it, but we've been fishing a lot after supper so I never seem to have time to post them. Here's some backlogged ones to satisfy everyone.
Last week my little sister, who is becoming quite a cook lately, made lasagna soup, cucumber and tomato salad, and pepper biscuit pull-aparts.

You know how some people do Christmas in July? Well in our house we do Thanksgiving in July. We feel like Thanksgiving dinner is just too economical and too good to have it only once a year, so some time around the middle of summer we always do a turkey. We have smoked one in the past, but we just baked it like normal this year. We also have the cornerstone sides of our Thanksgiving meal, but there are things like pumpkin roll/pie, creamed corn, and cranberry sauce that we don't have in the summer and are only saved for the real thing in November.

I'd gladly go out to a restaurant and pay for that meal on a Friday night date. But you can't get this food out.
Big portions of salmon there. I can smell it. I can feel it in my mouth. I can taste it. That squash does look good.
All good.

All of the added ingredients are from her garden or kitchen. The cheese, tomatoes, the Basel and the onions. Only the bacon and flour were from the store and we are working on changing that.

Leftover squash casserole, and fresh sweet potato casserole with cube steak and gravy. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220703/64672db2037f1bb8ebcf687126459309.jpg)
What's with the Thanksgiving sides, man?! :cheesy:
My mom would call that chicken-fried steak. She tried to make it once, but it was tough and not good. Do you have a recipe for that, or are you just winging it? Any tips?
I'll do something a little different and post our brunch from this morning. My mom always makes a big brunch on Sunday, and then we don't really eat lunch, just a snack and then a light supper. This morning we had bacon, hotel style eggs, and strawberry cream cheese pastries with patriotic sprinkles. :happy:

The cube steak was pre-cubed from the store. (Scored all over, almost minced) Breaded and fried, then 6 hrs in a crock pot. Gravy made from the juices, and served over potatoes.

The 4th was steak, home made scalloped potatoes, corn and the last of the squash. The steak got away from her and just a tad over done, but it was great.Looks amazing! Big steaks are hard. We basically only do steak tips now because my mom gets stressed out about grilling them, and the steak tips come out perfect every time.

How do you make homemade corn dogs?Hey, there's no shame in that! :happy: My mom doesn't just come up with this stuff on her own either. I can count on one hand recipes she developed by herself out of thin air. She gets her ideas from Pinterest and blogs mostly. The big reason for so much variety in our cooking is we have too many people to afford going out to eat regularly, so she basically learned to homemake everything. It's cheaper, and with lots of little kids, it's easier. Most of the time it's better too. She just said if you let her know what kinds of food you like to eat, she can probably recommend a bunch of recipes, none of which are original! :cheesy: She's not kidding either, if you want recommendations, just let me know.
I'm not a very imaginative cook :grin: I need ideas fed to me!
This one is another hit from The Pioneer Woman. https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a11357/classic-corn-dogs-and-cheese-on-a-stick/
My mom has a couple important notes.
1. Ree's original recipe makes WAY too much, even for our big family. My mom halves the recipe and further reduces the water. It's kind of a feel for it thing, but you want the batter to be thick enough that it won't slough off in the deep fryer, so she usually uses around 2 cups of water instead of 3.
2. We like to use bun sized hot dogs, since they are longer and have a nicer coating to meat ratio. Now keep in mind that they have to fit in your deep fryer or whatever you are frying in, so if you have a small one, you may only have room for normal sized hot dogs, and it's fine with those too.
3. For sticks we use thin wooden skewers that Mom cuts to size with a kitchen shears.

There are a few trains of thought on ribs. Generally 4-6 hrs of cooking, with some combination of foil and smoke. Some are 2/2/2, foil/smoke/foil, or smoke/foil/smoke. Some are 4/2, 2/4, 1/4/1??.
I usually go for 6 hrs a +\- for fall off the bone ribs. However, competition ribs need some amount of ?bite? or ?pull?. I skip the ?bite? for total tender, fall off the bone ribs. If you like the pull the meat off with your teeth, 4 hrs may be better suited for you.
As for the order of smoke vs foil, in my opinion, you will take on more smoke flavor if you start with the smoke. There is a theory, that meat will only absorb so much smoke. Smoke is absorbed early in the process, and only for so long. I?ve never done the comparison research, but it makes sense to me that early smoke is more potent than smoke applied after the meat is mostly cooked, basted in sauce and shielded. I just don?t believe that if you pre-cook the meat, cover it in sauce, the smoke ring will penetrate as far. It?s more of a dusting of smoke. That may be your preference. Light smoke.
I like heavy smoke flavors, you may not. That?s why there are so many version?s people swear are the best. I impart 3-4 hrs of smoke, wrap in foil and bake at 225 for the remainder of the 6 hrs. I think this gives a relatively thin cut of meat enough smoke, then locks in the moisture for the finish to keep it moist and fall off the bone vs letting it dry out some towards the end.

Thanks. I like strong smoke on things like pork loin, but hubby likes BBQ sauce on the ribs. They were good, so I guess that's what counts, but yes, the smoke was lite.I'm not sure the exact timing on our ribs, but I know we do several hours unwrapped to get them good and smoky, then several hours wrapped to get them nice and juicy, and then over the last hour my mom adds BBQ sauce to them like every 15-20 min. or so, and then takes them off. We haven't done ribs in a while, but man they are good. :happy: I'll try to remember to post my supper tonight. We've just been busy and/or eating leftovers all week.

We usually freeze dry our surplus goats milk, but we can't right now because, as I mentioned on the prepper thread, the freeze dryer keeps tripping the circuit breaker, and our handyman had one of his guys get COVID, so it's a two week wait until he can come out to put in a circuit for it. As a result my sister was making lots of dairy products this week to use up the extra milk. She has tried several times to make yogurt, but it always comes out way too runny. She tried a new technique this week, and it finally worked, and it is delicious! It's better than any store bought yogurt. She sweetened it with my honey.

She also made raspberry sherbet with our ice cream maker, and we topped it with some leftover sugared peaches.

Wife and I make yoghurt. Absolutely right! Better than store bought. Cut it with a knife, like cheese. If that's your honey, not Coca Cola, love that dark stuff. The scent!
We had grilled swordfish the other night, on a 1978 propane grill. Flavour from the ages :wink:. Can't eat that stuff too much though. Mercury.
Going out tonight for Italian. She deserves it.
Nothing like home cooking though. Look at you and 30.
