    It's a small world

    I haven't been around this forum much over the past year or more as my wife and I are out cruising on our boat. Currently we are in San Diego and leaving for Mexico Monday morning. A couple of days ago the cruisers in the Harbor Island West marina (where we are berthed) got together up in the...

    Breakfast, the BEST meal of the DAY!

    Okay, this is a very old recipe in my family. I have never heard of it / seen it anywhere else, but my family has been making this since I was a kid (just a couple of years ago). This will be my first try on the grill and I am thinking it is going to be awesome! We call it “Egg Bake” and it goes...

    Endgrain Hickory Cutting Board

    This is for Pappymn (and anyone else that is interested, but Pappymn asked for pics ). My cutting board project is done. It was actually a lot of fun!! It is solid hickory - 2 inches thick and 15" X 20". Hickory is really an ideal wood for a project like this - it is just about as dense and hard...

    Rib eye with fries, my oh my

    Bought a choice rib eye today at Cash and Carry (Smokinman88 – they are like $6.29/lb – it was about $100 for a full boneless rib eye – VERY fresh) and cut it into steaks (sorry, no butcher picks – too messy for one person to butcher and take pics). Anyway, kept out the ends for a little...

First, and most important, as many of you already know, I am the proud owner of a new meat grinder! For those of you who don’t own one – do yourself a favor – BUY ONE! It is really *that* good. I...

    Vacuum Sealer

    Okay, I know this was posted a little over a year ago, but things and people change. I am looking to update my old (very old) food saver. It seems I have 2 options - Cabelas CG15 or Vacmaster VP112. Does anyone have either/both of these units? And if so, would you buy the same thing again? Thank...

    I'm going to the big "D" and I don't mean Dallas..

    .. and I don't mean divorce either (thank God and the love of my life). It's that aweful, filthy, dirty, scary word... diet! Actually, it's not all that bad. Jan and I both decided that my middle age (really, just middle age) ponch is getting a bit out of control so it is time to pay a little...

    Grill Grates Sticking

    I am having trouble with my grill grates. When I cook burgers on them they always stick really bad. At first I wasn't getting them hot enough, but I think I have fixed that problem. They seem to sear just fine and cook at about the speed I expect. But burgers always stick. I have tried spraying...

I already have my next 2 cooks planned - ribs and then a turkey that I...

    First Burn Job on Memphis Pro - a Fattie

    Frogmats, what the heck?

    These things look great! And I can't wait to give mine a try. Buy holy moly, where in the world did that name come from? It surely doesn't *sound* like anything I want to cook my food on. Just curious..
