Y'all know how it goes. You start searching the 'Net for one thing, next thing you know you are finding all manner of interesting stuff. Submitted for your consideration: Never Thaw Frozen Steaks Not sure I agree completely with this, but I did find it interesting. What do y'all think?

Recently, Mrs Hoot and I acquired a box of misc. utensils at a yard sale. Included were these items. Whatndaworld are they? They look like some kind of melon baller but they don't really produce nice round balls of melon....it's more like some kind of scoop. Any help would be appreciated. TIA!

A week or so ago, Mrs Hoot said she was in the mood for Mexican food. So, I went to town to our one and only Mexican restaurant to fetch some goodies home. While I was waiting for my order, I asked the wife of the owner if they ever served menudo. She looked at me kinda sideways, smiled, and...

My youngest son and his wife have presented Family Hoot with a new addition. My third grandson was born today at 4:00 PM. He weighed in at 7 lbs, 4 oz. He is just shy of 21 inches long. All finger and toes accounted for. Mother and Father are doing good (unless my son busts open from being so...

To my mind this study is a no-brainer.... How You Pour Wine Can Affect How Much You Drink I would hope there are better things to spend research money on, but then what do I know?

Saturday, Mrs Hoot ventured down the local CHKD thrift store. She returned with three cookbooks she found that she thought I might like and may have some interesting recipes. One of the books its titled "Favorite Recipes of America: Casseroles". After looking through it, she settled on a recipe...

No, I am not talking about the loss at Fed-Ex Field. I am referring to my idea of making Klingon Skull Stew with Tripe from page 232 of the Star Trek cook book. I would post a link to the recipe but I can't find one. Mrs Hoot's answer was an unequivocal "NO!"

I got to thinkin' (I know this is generally a dangerous thing) that it might be interesting to see what the good folks here at D.C. consider to be their most favorite and easiest comfort foods. Here at Casa de Hoot, one of our most favorite things is mayonnaise biscuits. Now, afore y'all turn...

This is just a test for my own curiosity. I have not experienced the tag error.

Has anyone ever heard of or tried this? It's a German recipe but it sounds like a meat version of the apple jacks and sweet potato jacks that I am very fond of. Fleischkuekle From North Dakota State University Extension Service. Dough ingredients 1 egg 1 tsp. sugar 1 tsp. sour cream 1...

I reckon I will have to change my profile photo. Went in this evening and trimmed off my beard. Gotta clean up for a job interview on Wed. morn. I reckon it's short enough. I think I scared the lady when I walked in her office and handed her my resume and application. I hope it pans out.

Astounding Discovery....For those times when you just can't get home for supper. Well this is what happens sometimes when I can't sleep, like last night. Just havin' fun with Photoshop. :lol:

Test Tube Meat Here is a link to a story about a taste test done in London using hamburger meat grown in a test tube. I ain't too squeamish about the stuff I eat but this kinda put me off. Somehow, I am reminded of Soylent Green. Test Tube Burger Eaten in London Your thoughts? Lately I can't...

Let me start by saying that we live in an old farmhouse. Matter of fact, I was raised in this house. It's a bit drafty and there are many avenues for critters to find their way in, despite my best efforts. My daughter moved out yesterday to move into a new place with her fiance. Whilst cleaning...

George Jones has passed away at 81. RIP

I just read this article. Sometimes it's better to stick your fingers in your drink! :lol: Expensive champagne

I ran across this in the grocery styore the other day. Hadn't had any in many a year. Threw a slice in a hot skillet til it started to brown, then added a couple of eggs. Scrambled everything together till the eggs were just cooked through. Mighty good with coffee and a couple slices of...

I ran across the following article. I sure would like to have a taste of this cheese! 40 Year Old Cheese

Mrs Hoot, being a frugal woman, is always clipping coupons and such. She just brought in a coupon to me for something called a FlameDisk, made by Bic. This coupon is for a free FlameDisk. A brief look at Google informs me that this device uses ethanol for fuel, is self contained (no ashes or...

I reckon this is as good a place for this topic as any. When you go camping, how do you make coffee? Generally, when I go campin' there ain't no electricity. I have been making coffee for nigh on to thirty years using the following method. I reckon some folks will not care for it, but when in a...

35 years since Elvis ate his last peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwich. I suddenly feel very old.

The Labor Day thread got me to thinkin'..... Y'all may have heard about the Mayan calendar and the gloom and doom associated with the date. We are planning a two day get together. The first day we will be living it up in case it does come to pass....The next day we will be living it up because...

From time to time the pages are slow to load. I am running Do Not Track Plus as well as Ad Blocker. When I click on a topic, I see at the bottom of the screen "Waiting for www35.glam.com" It's not a long wait, just enough to make me notice. I see in the Do Not Track Plus results that Glam...
