Most of us here who are talking about rice are people who can eat it. But what if you have a diabetic who will be eating with you ? Rice and orange juice are two of the first things they take them off when they are discovered to be diabetic. Recently I was watching AgDay (the national farm...

We've had a nice long Indian Summer up until now. It's been cold, overcast and rainy the past couple of days as our first real fall weather. Leaves are just now really beginning to drop. Supposed to be like this all week here where Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia all come together. I've...

I grew up on the boarder of Ohio and West Virginia. Beer in West Virginia was 3.2 % alcohol by weight. In Ohio it was 6 % by volume of alcohol. Two different measures but in truth they are quite close. Ohio advertised "High Powered Beer" and people in West Virginia would drive some distance...

Chief, at my Kroger store they cut up the Lebanon Bologna and put it out in one pound bags pre sliced. It is partly a convenience for the customers who may buy it on an impulse faster and then it's marked down 1/2 price fairly quickly after that. It keeps the stock rotating quickly and people...

CJ, I think you will like the first. His mantra seems to be, "protect your liver & feed your gut". But he opens a whole different way of viewing nutrition as prevention to achieve good health and avoid diseases. As a Doctor he points out how important it is to avoid diseases with good...

I'm reading "Metabolical, the lure and lies of processed food, nutrition, and Modern Medicine" by Robert H. Lustig (this author is very well qualified) https://www.amazon.com/Metabolical-Processed-Nutrition-Modern-Medicine/dp/0063027712 Some time back I read a book titled, "The Chemical...

In my region of the USA Bologna is common and used in many ways. As a sandwich it may be on toasted bread dressed with a bit of mayo mixed with yellow mustard and accompanied by a slice of yellow cheese. If the bologna is thick sliced it may have a cut on four sides so it will lay flat in the...

Will fried Bologna become the "new Bacon" ? Anyone else seeing news reports regarding future rising in prices of Bacon ? Anyone here like fried bologna as breakfast meat or on sandwiches ? Here in Appalachia a lot of restaurants serve it on the buffet along with Bacon & Sausage (patties...

Mentioned to me to add this. If you use the Vanilla bean to flavor the Junket mixture, pour it thru a strainer before adding the flavored Junket mixture to the egg, sugar, half & half, milk, mixture. OK. But good quality real Vanilla extract will make a fine ice cream.

I'll throw in this old vintage Vanilla Ice Cream Mix recipe that dates back to the later 1800's. It is quite good and I make it from time to time at cook outs. You will need a pack of Junket Tablets...

Well, there will be a whole year to post favorite Juneteenth recipes now in order to prepare for the next one. It was only announced as a Federal holiday a few days prior to the event and I would imagine those cooking for it were either gathering supplies or processing the early stages of...

Anyone here have any Juneteenth recipes to offer ? What would be on your table Saturday ?

I'd offer this from one of my many other culinary websites:

The aircraft on the tombstone is a B 24, 4 engine heavy bomber. The WASP pilots delivered up to 80% of light single engine and numerous medium twin engine aircraft as I've read. It freed a lot of men in that duty to go fight in the war. I've even heard of them training to fly B 17's. The 4...

Do you have a recipe you would share from the "great beyond" ? Well, this lady had her Fudge recipe engraved on her tombstone. Perhaps every Chef/Cook should leave a recipe behind for posterity. Notice the Army Air Corp B-24 Bomber ? She was probably a "Rosie the Riveter" during her young...
