I tried to make lentils today. I shoulda looked at Favre's recipe first. My lentils turned out *okay*, but not good enough to serve to others. :embarrassed: Too bland. :ohwell: Try this! http://www.food.com/recipe/lebanese-lentils-mujadara-233251?layout=desktop Mujadara is easy to make, and quite t...

Pork roast with cranberry This is one of our favorites. You can skip all the ingredients except the pork, cranberry sauce, salt and pepper. Use the one pot to make rice. Serve pork on rice. You want fast? Put rice to cook. Put chicken quarters in a glass baking dish. Bathe liberally in Louisiana Br...

I start drinking egg nog at thanksgiving and keep it going until 2 January

Me too. But this is my second year without eggnog. I have been trying to lose weight, with little success.

We are big bbq enthusiasts and own a regular coal-fired Brinkmann. I was wondering if an electric would be easier to control. I have the same thing. When I don't want to babysit it, I use this: Electric smoker mod It works pretty well. I only tinker with mine about every four hours. With the Maveri...

I use a Brinkmann electric smoker and it works great. http://www.brinkmann.net/products/outdoor_cooking/electric_smokers_and_grills/details.aspx?item=810-5304-E It turns out a better product than the $$$$$$ smokers my friends have. I control the temperature by how many bath towels I drape over it. ...

http://www.masterbuilt.com/index.php/30-electric-smokehouse.html/ Looks alright, and isn't wildly expensive. I can't see any reason why it'd be much better than any other electric smoker, though. That is a very reasonable price! It looks like all a person would need, provided you get both the therm...

What is the sense in using unsalted butter in a recipe and then adding salt? :headscratch: Why not just use salted butter? :dunno: A lot of times dessert recipes do not call for salt, and there shouldn't be any salt in the butter either, for those particlar recipes. And some people do not add salt ...

Landlover makes it for Corona.

Fat = juicy.

I was reading up on hamburger making and learned that 20% fat ground chuck makes the best burger meat.

My tests confirm that the 20% fat meat does make a juicier burger.

Jack Miler's it is! http://www.jackmillers.com/product%20images/JackMillers_BBQ_16_1.png I had noticed that every time I saw a Black family buying ribs, they also bought a bottle of Jack Miller's sauce. So I asked one of my Black co-workers about it. He was very approving. The Black checkout clerk m...

I just nabbed some baby back pork ribs off the sale rack!!!!

What is your favorite way to grill these. Over charcoal. of course?

Anyone ever try "Jack Miller's"?

My bible study (16 people) went through ten pounds of this last night, despite having other main courses. I guess they liked it, as no pets were visible.

Edited above concerning the advantages of using lemongrass and the size of the strips.

Would silver swan soy sauce fit the bill? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Silver-Swan-Soy-Sauce-Cooking-Sauce-5-fl-oz/10534278 My daughter in law was a missionary kid in the Phillippines, and made chicken adobo with this sauce, definitely different than Kikkoman...good stuff. I will probably do this reci...

It is called "satay", AKA the ultimate street food from Asia. I just ran a test batch of the following recipes and they turned out very well! Not authentic, but with more flavor and flavors than the "real street version". Grilled Chicken: http://thaifood.about.com/od/thairecipes/r/thaichickensate.ht...

I have decided to present my Bible study with Pulled Pork tacos! Would one of you have a tested Pico de Gallo recipe you would care to share? Never made it! How about your household staff? No, Merle's never made it either. :lol: Thanks for the advice! That lying little dustmop!!!!!!!

This is a traditional style sauce unlike most others you have had. Being from Virginia, it is apple, not tomato based. It is very different from the bottled stuff! It is vinegary and not "hot". Note: This is not for basting. Apply to the meat on the plate or on the sandwich! It is not as fruity as ...

Get two.

I also use it in the home kitchen. One probe tells you what your oven is REALLY set at (mine was 35 degrees off) and the other probe can go in the roast/chicken/lasagna/cake to tell you when it is done without opening the oven door.

Thank you, that is timely...I just ruined another pocket dial thermometer..I have been meaning to looking into one of these, but have never taken the time to do any research. The downside of owning one of these is that you can no longer justify in your own mind checking it out when it really doesn'...

Hey Trailboss! Since you do slow cooking too, I have to share this. I got one of these for Christmas, and it has made a huge difference in the quality of my pork. Now I only disturb the smoker at four hour intervals, to check the water. http://www.maverickhousewares.com/et73.htm http://www.maverickh...

That is similar to my dry rub. I don't use the mustard nor the sugar, but add garlic, ginger and cloves (the last two in very small amounts). My last shoulder got very favorable comments when I added a hint of marjoram and sage.

Except for spatulas, wooden utensils are easy on the pans. They also do not make that annoying scraping sound when you do a lot of stirring. After a few years they crack, but you just discard them and get some new.
