    Crockpot Chicken and Rice in A Bag

    Hi There! Ran across this recipe going through some old papers the other day. The chicken cooks separately from the rice in the bag order to have different seasonings than the rice. The chicken comes out with a great texture and is moist and fork tender. Of course, since the chicken and...

    A question for smokers...

    I've not attempted the Hawaiian style pork on Joe but have done the more traditional smoked but many times. I may give this a try at some point. From looking at a few recipes it seems like Hawaiian salt is a key difference. Banana leaves would pretty hard to find in these parts. Hawaiian...

    All-Clad 12 qt SS Multi-Cooker

    I bought one of these a couple of years ago. It mostly takes up room in the cabinet. It's just too large for daily use at our house. Because of the size it requires hand washing because it doesn't fit in the dishwasher. Too much of a PITA just to boil pasta. We do use it periodically when...

    That isn't something I'd attempt without supervision. :smile: I like being lost in the details and tolerances of fine woodworking. I'd starve as framer because I'd be working all day to achieve close tolerances...I just can't make myself throw up a 2x4 and nail it without measuring 2 or 3...

    Grits got runny with cheese

    I'm a little fuzzy on the exact chemistry. Something like this... the cereal absorbed water during cooking but wasn't set. Fat was added displacing the water in the cereal causing it to run out. Try this one out. Works every time for me. The baking soda causes the grits to rise a bit and...
