Awesome job Chief! That could be good with some cream, sort of a cream of mushroom w sausage.

I agree Kevin, oxtail. I've been watching some shows where they prepare oxtail and it looks amazing.

If I am grilling or smoking chicken it gets brined nearly 100% of the time. Unless you pull back the skin and salt, v little salt makes it into the meat. Even then, salt penetrates extremely slow, even in a wet or dry brine for a couple hours. In my brines typically I will add brown sugar...

I finally had a Big Mac again after years of not eating any McD's daytime sandwiches. It's the special sauce, the onions and shred lettuce combo that I like the best. Burger patties are tiny so I don't feel so guilty and it's not enough to mess w my gut. I'll give that a try Chief. Now, if...

Everyone will eventually be exposed to this virus. The SIP wasn't enacted to make the virus go away, it's there to slow the spread. Some won't be affected at all, a very small percentage will die and that percentage number will go down. I now in the last couple days have realized I may...

I saw that there seemed to be a cold canning and true canning techniques. I did ask what your cinco de mayo plans are. Mexican food to me is simple. I worked with a great woman 30 years ago who would be over a 100 years old today. She ran a Mexican kitchen I worked in for a few years. Her...

Yeah, I watched a Ball Canning video and looked for other reputable sources, like BA.

Right?! Tacos should be free somewhere lol.

Any special plans? Thinking I'm gonna make some carne guisada w rice. A video on pickling eggs w Frank's Red Hot came up on my YouTube recommended yesterday. Not knowing much about the process and thinking about all the places through life I've seen pickled eggs for sale and thinking who the...

I watched a lot of her shows when I was a kid. It wasn't only her getting away with crazy stuff back then. Watch any of the old cooking shows. Sanitation wasn't the same thing.

I agree w GimmeAnother1, Sam the cooking guy is good. Food Wishes I watch also, thats good stuff. Billy flav is good. All things bbq imo use and promote their seasonings far too much. Rick Bayless puts out some good vids too. If you want to learn how to cook, watching people on you tube...

Good thread. I've been binge watching Hell's Kitchen lately. I can't believe the positions these contestants hold. I get it, it's a stressful situation. Kitchens are stressful though. I can count on one hand how many times I plated something that wasn't fully cooked and still have fingers...

Got some locally made brats to grill.

I'd be skeptical. Most likely, close to 100% it's okay, but I've had food poisoning a few times. I'd gladly pay $20.00 not to each time. That's what makes me throw stuff out many times. Is it worth the cost of the food to not be sick?

My Grandma first off and foremost. Born around 1900, married Grandpa of course who had a farm in Ohio. She had 18 kids, one passed at infancy. They slaughtered pigs and cattle for themselves as well as plenty of wild game. The only thing she wouldn't cook was raccoon, tried it once and said...

I live about twenty miles from uncle John's cider mill just north of Lansing and Quality Dairy stores bring in a lot of cider. I'll have to do a comparison this fall. My brother used to live in South Haven and in the fall we'd always make a stop to grab peaches. His brother in law does a lot w...

I enjoy the creativity of it. It comes easy to me. I can make meals that are better than most of the restaurants I go to. I don't go to expensive $$$$-$ places. Most of the time I eat out for convenience or I'm going to a place I can't or don't care to try and replicate their food. I'll...

I'm surprised you like to cook with alkaline water. It changes the flavor of things. I made ice cubes with alkaline water. Then I put them in my coke, blah. Anything acidic of food should stay that way. Orange juice will not turn your body acidic.

Anyone ever have cinnamon and sugar pie? Lol, Dad would make usual pies, Apple, peach, rhubarb. If he had left over dough he'd put it in the empty banquet pot pie tins. Throw in sugar and cinnamon and bake it off. It wasn't much of a pie but a childhood memory of something tasty. Wish I...

Dutch Apple w homemade vanilla ice cream.

The more it's processed the less flavor it has. Fresh caught for sale never frozen, head on shrimp the best. Fresh caught, for sale never frozen, heads cut off. head on, quick frozen. no head, quick frozen. No head, deveined, quick frozen. - this what I usually buy in the 20-25 count...

Ū Was watching Strictly Dumpling on you tube and as he starts his food tour of New Orleans, he explains that Cajun food doesn't use tomatoes and Creole food does. Never heard that before. Never been to New Orleans either.

Never heard of that. Id make a small batch first. Not sure how the flour is gonna taste.

I'm old school on that, carrots, onions, garlic cloves, maybe celery on the bottom of the pan, with some water to cover bottom of pan. Season. Couple long sliced carrots across the top, those are for serving. 350° covered till she's done. Maybe baste a couple times. Pull and strain juices. Pull...

This thread reminds me of my Grandpa. He was born in 1898. Was married by 20. Raised his family on the farm, 17 kids. Aa grandkids we always ate well when we visited Grandma and Grandpa. Around late 70's early 80's, I had to be around 10, we took Grandpa to Pizza Hut. Understand, Pizza...
