I just lost my Mom 2 months ago....this has been a very hard time of year for me. Thank you for posting that.

That is the way I used to get too, sugarbrown. The problem back then was my daughters love the stuff as much as DH and I; so it never lasted long.

IC, I think you should be a guest judge on the show!! Really......I agree with all you said above and was thinking along the same lines (albeit in much simpler terms as I know I am not a chef-just a darn good cook). I was thinking it would be Howie or Joey last night before Sandee; but do agree...

Buck and mudbug, both of you have me a-laughing!!! Buck, My great-Grandfather is the human on the left with the reins. the other human is a family friend that may be a distant relative; I got to dig a bit farther in the family archives. Although from the little bit in the photo, I do like the...

Thought I would add this photo of my great-Grandfather (on the left) and a family friend. This was taken in 1909 in an Oklahoma oil field.

Brilliant!!!! I would not have thought of doing it this way. Thanks for the great idea YT!!!

I also heard it that way too; most times it was just "Hold her, Newt!" My Grandmother was always calling us kids "Frick and Frat" usually when she suspected we were up to mischief.

I was told that "Hold her Newt, don't let her rare" referred to the person holding the reins in a buckboard/buggy/wagon. You definitely did not want to have one of the horses rare when they were hooked up!

I heard all of these growing up. Brings back such good memories!

:rofl: Been there on both sides!!!! :rolleyes:

It should read "cool" not "cook." Looks like a typo in the manual; I have the same pressure cooker. You have been doing it the right way!!

My Grandmother would make a zucchini pickled relish that she made the same way she would sweet relish. It was sooooo good!! She also made them the way Katie's brother does.

I saw that with Tre and Hung; about being able to see someone with true cooking talent too. I have to say that it did impress me somewhat (may have been a tactic, too) with Hung having Tre taste what he was making. So far, Hung has not proved to be the "annoying, arrogant, egotisical sob" that I...

I bet you do have 2 butts in that package!! I buy them here like that. You could wrap and freeze one of them without smoking it; unless you want to do that. $1.40 a lb. is a very good price!

I would do as the others have said and cut it into half, at least. I do that when I am making tamales and end up with one the size you have.

Yes, the visual is very important; not sure how many people here have tried blind taste testing. Not as easy as some people can make it look at all.

This leads to a 3 part video of a taste test between Hung and Clay. The Battle is On: Hung vs. Clay, pt.1 - Videos - Bravo TV

Oh Yeah!!m I know what you mean about making a meal with just the puddins!!!! :wink: I have had my failures too and most times it is because I didn't follow through with what you advised. That is why I knew you were right. :ermm: Oh well... that is what makes life interesting!!

Very good advice from jpmcgrew!!!!!!

Clay definitely was the right one to go. I also agreed with Hung and Tre being the top two. IC, you are very right in saying that about the 2 earlier seasons failing on one account or another if they had either or both challenges to face. I think this season may be a lot better contest. LOL! I...

My Mom loved watching him when she was a kid!!! They did some sort of a revival of his show (I may be remembering wrong here) in the very early 80's. Both of my daughters loved him then as did I. When I saw the news of his passing; I did bow my head in his honor!!

Like jpmcgrew, I always fry up store bought corn tortillas for tostados; most times I will fry and shape them for tacos too. But I do have to agree on the Old El Paso made ones being easy when I don't feel like frying up my own.

Thank you so much Lucia-mia!!! Your recipe looks very similar to what I remember and I will try to get all the ingredients together soon!

Please post one of your recipes! I have been trying to find one that my Grandmother used to make over 20 years ago; she has passed away and did not give the recipe to us.

One thing to do is to cook in cast iron as much as you can, if possible. Some people say to never cook tomato based stuff in CI but they are wrong as it will help release more iron into whatever you are cooking. I guess I was a weird one as I was always anemic until I was pregnant with my first...
