    The last 2022 Costco run

    for empty nesters, shopping at Costco is essentially "How much room do we have in the freezer?" even our local Giant specializes in giant size packages/quantities . . . . we did pick up some Prime ribeye - 1 lb each - so one steak does for two but my fav is the pork chops - loin&rib - i.e. bits...

    Experience/comments on home ground, ground beef

    (long story omitted....) found meself needing ground beef with nothing but a steak on hand. broke out Granny's hand cranked (meat) grinder, did the deed. DW was ecstatic - best ground beef -ever- repeated that a couple days back - used a thawed ribeye steak - likely USDA Choice . . . gift...

    Mystery recipe

    we've been going through the "boxes of family index card recipes." here's a interesting looking one - but it has no "name" or what it's supposed to be! timing would be from the early 1900's - DW's grandmother - area would have been the central part of South Carolina anyone familiar with...

    Ancient mid-Atlanic tuna salad

    this is primarily for us old geezers - if you remember eating tuna salad in the '50's-60's altho, if you're just 12 years old and have completed a study on the topic, chime in. today's tuna salad just does not taste the same. why that & how do I make the old stuff? tuna fish salad has...

    ISO good-quality national brand cheese

    our local Giant is in the throes of business suicide - so many things have changed, items dropped, super-cheep/low quality 'store brands' - and now it comes to this..... been using Giant brand Colby cheese for mac&cheese, souffle, etc. frequently mixed with other types for interest/flavor...

    EZ-Pass (believeable) Scam

    scam&spam email aims to "trick" you into opening, clicking, etc. this one almost got me - if you have EZ-Pass, it could work because.... by coincidence, I had just used the EZ-Pass a few days prior. so I get an email implying I had an EZ-Pass Invoice Due for failure to pay a toll. knee jerk...

    An Ode to Barkeepers Friend

    Actung! Achtung! Clean up on Burner Three! okay, so right up front lets get this out of the way: I'm not a pristine clean freak. sometimes I just let it slide a bit. here's what happens after deep snows bury the charcoal grill and the desperate cook sears stuff and does an oven finish...

    Pizza sauce from fresh ingredients

    this is my usual method for freezing home-made tomato sauce for pizzas and whatever else comes to menu. it's just quartered tomatoes - with skin on - two large onions in half-slices, salt and pepper. I have been known to slice in an excess sweet/bell pepper - but they are not really producing...

    Pseudo-spammers

    has anyone thought about prohibiting self-promotional links of any kind or sort until the "new" member has like 100 posts? it's quite one thing for a new member to turn up useful information - and a lot of that is best conveyed by posting a link vs. idiots like katie (another place) who thinks...

    ekactiurF

    ekactiurF yeah, it has to be 'hidden' - people have feelings about this stuff. perhaps Admin will open up a private by invitation only section for ekactiurF type discussions . . . someplace where "can we talk?" without being thrown off the Net. anyway, Christmas is coming - so it's time to...

    Salmon with peppers

    bumbled across some fresh sockeye in the market and it lept into my basket.... had half a green and half a red pepper looking for a home, along with a lonely leek. sliced&diced, salt pepper, touch of sesame oil, sauted until soft. I suspect scallion/green onions would work as well - something...
