An amusing story for those of you who haven't seen it. Claire used to be a member on DC. This story was made up in response to her experience cooking a wild turkey for the first time. It's all about those exercised muscles. Two wild turkeys struttin' there stuff: " Hey, Girly-boy turkey. let...

I hope and pray that everyone got to safe places to get through the storm. I see that Ian has reduced strength to a level 3. That's much better than the level 5 that was expected. I couldn't live in hurricane prone areas. Again, I hope everyone is all right. Seeeeya; Chief Longwind of the North

I purchased dried wild blueberries for a recipe of stuffed pork chops. I tasted a couple of the unsweetened berries. They were really good. The flavor wasn't diluted like the often over watered blueberries from the grocers. It was more concentrated. Today, I added a couple tbs. of dried...

I took the time, and energy to make a beautiful lemon curd, using fresh lemons, lemon zest, good butter, and a pinch of salt. After combining the ingredients with a whisk, until silky smooth, in a thick glass bowl, I placed the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. As glass is an...

Char Siue Pork: the recipe calls for Boston Butt, 2 to 3 lb. The store was out. So, I purchased a fresh shoulder picknick (uncured, not smoked), same size, but bone in. I scored the ham all the way around to let the char sieu marinade soak in. It's marinating nos, and will be for the next 4...

I like to add dark red kidney beans to sloppy joes, salads, certain soups, 5-bean salad, and even mash them into refried beans. They can be good in American goulash, and simply combined with seasoned ground beef. Where do you use kidney beans besides in chili? Seeeeya; Chief Longwind of the North

I've had Hormel canned tamales. They fill the belly, and don't degust me. I grew up on Derby brand jarred tamales. It's what my Dad always bought. Again, they fill the belly. Some store brand frozen tamales, in corn husks are sometimes pretty good. A canned tamale I'd never had was Nally's...

Especially for Ginny, when you feel well enough to tackle homemade chicken soup. Intense Chicken Vegetable Soup This recipe comes from a good friend, and was modified by me to make it even richer in texture, and flavor.. I told him about this cookbook and he excitedly asked if I would include...

I took what I know about meat, and how it reacts to heat, to try a new to me approach at pan frying boneless chicken breast. Most everything I see says to pound the flesh to an even thickness, season, and pan fry over medium-high heat for about 7 minutes per side. Check temp. with instant read...

I've had corn dogs from the grocers and have not been impressed with them. The corn batter is usually ok. The hot dog inside though, is always of the lowest quality. Well, today, I tried something similar, but different - Jimmy Dean Brand Pancakes And Sausage. This looked like a corn dog...

So you have an incredible hot curry, or spicy Mexican dinner you've got planned. You know that the food is delicious, but might be a tad hot for some of your family. Common wisdom calls for milk to mitigate the burn. Cold milk, shakes, malts, ice cream, they all work. I've found that...

We all love our breakfast options, from a half grapefruit, to cold, leftover pizza, to the many different types of cooked eggs, pancakes, waffles, sausage, bacon, biscuits with sausage gravy... But sometimes, just sometimes, you just don't want hot Red River, or to have to prepare anything...

I have read many different ways to make supposedly perfect poachedeggs, from simply dropping raw eggs directly into boiling water, adding vinegar to the water, making a whirlpool in the boiling water, and dropping the eggs into the whirlpool, etc. My way is easy, and just makes sense. I spray...

When I lived in San Diego, my wife and I took a trip to 29 Palms, and sampled/purchased date varietals. I grocery stores, the only available dates were Medjool, and Deglat Noir. At 29 Palms, I fell in love with Barhi Dates. They are unique in that both the unripened, and ripened dates are...

I received my container of Marion Kay Chicken Seasoning in the mail today. It's supposed to be the Colonel's original seasoning that he gave to the company after KFC changed the recipe for his original fried chicken. I purchased a whole chicken, and cut it up into breasts, thighs, drumsticks...

This recipe gives you full potato flavor, plus potato skins for filling to make twice baked potatoes, or crispy fried potato skins. I could eat this before kidney issues. Now I have to soak, and twice boil potatoes to remove potassium from them. However, these are great mashed potatoes that...

I had some Penne regatta pasta, and a bit of pork belly available. I wanted pasta, with no nightshades, i.e. tomato, peppers. So here's what I made. It came out very tasty. I'm not sure what to call it, except maybe - Chief's Penne Regatta wit Pork Belly. Anyways, it came out very good...

I used to love VanCamp's pork and beans. With that little piece of pork in the can. They quit putting it in much to my dismay. Now, I'm fond of Bush's Original recipe, and bonus, it has a little pice of pork in it. Even so, I enjoy a little molasses added, about a tbs. prr 16 oz. can of...
