Thanks for all of the great ideas and recipes. It seems like they can be used in lots of things as long as they're not cooked for a long time. I definitely prefer Texas browns from the gulf, but these are what she brought home, lol. I gotta give her credit for trying!

Hello all, Recently my GF came home with a bag of frozen pre cooked, cleaned shrimp. I thawed some to serve with cocktail sauce, but they were pretty bland, even with the sauce. Any ideas what I could do with the remainders? As they're pre cooked, I would imagine that any farther cooking would...

We' having leftover lasagna. Great for a Monday dinner after trying to get back into the new week.

I try to keep my WSM at 250, but have a hard time getting it to run below that. I pretty much use the same wood that you mentioned, but I'm cutting down a peach tree in my back yard in a few weeks. I've never tried peach before, but there's always a first!

Wow Paymaster, That's some serious looking que ya got there! Lots of tasty Mr. Brown to be had. Would you mind sharing your cooking temps and choice of smoking wood?

I'm cooking breaded pork chops with kale and leftover tater salad.

We're getting together with my GF's family this afternoon. I smoked a turkey breast this morning and have a green chili hominy casserole ready to go in the oven soon. I believe her cousin is bringing a ham, not sure about the rest though. It will be nice to see everyone again as we only seem to...

It's been raining here all day, but I wanted ribs. I cooked them in the oven and they were edible but definitely not as good as in the smoker.

We had sausage links, eggs over easy, home fries and coffee.

I had 2 slices of bacon, 3 slices of scrapple and 2 scrambles eggs, washed down with 2 cups of maple bacon coffee. I love Sundays as they seem to be the only day that I have time to cook a hot breakfast.

My son harvested his first buck during early muzzle loader season Saturday. He brought it to my house and I taught him how to break it down. So I'm having venison chili and biscuits with an ice cold beer for dinner this evening!:yum:

I'm grilling a pork tenderloin this evening that I rubbed down with granulated garlic and onion, smoked paprika, ancho chile powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt and brown sugar. We'll just have simple corn and tomato salad for a side. Too darn hot for anything else, in the 90's here!

Yeah Andy, The incredible shrinking tuna can is a prime example, although I think the Kirkland brand tuna at Costco may still be 7oz. How about packaged sliced bacon? Use to be 16oz, now some brands have it in 12oz packs. And remember the half gallon container of ice cream? Now it's about...

Seafood of some sort. I have gulf shrimp, mahi-mahi, scallops and a few whiting fillets in the freezer. I may even have some crab meat left.

I think you're right Addie, It probably makes more sense for you to make a full pot for use during the day. For me it is just a convenience. I only use it in the morning before leaving the house for work. Of course I stop at the convenience store for another cup before I get to work!:smile: I...
