    Random Photo Thread III

    Since the old one has been lost in the mists of the past, I thought maybe a new photo thread was in order. If the Admins don't want it here, I don't mind if it goes away. I took this photo 3 weeks ago, after our last snowstorm. This house finch was sitting in the tree outside our bedroom...

    My first try at a no-knead dutch oven bread.

    Been intending to do this for some time, but I have trouble planning far enough ahead for it. We don't have bread very often, so when I plan a meal that does call for it, I'm usually planning on the day I'm going to need it. That is too late for this bread, since it takes a couple of days to...

    Issue posting links to a photo from another site

    It started about 2 months ago. When I click on the photo icon to post a link to an image, nothing happens, and I can no longer type anything more in the post that I was making. I've found that I work around it just by using code, and still gets it done, but clicking on the button doesn't...

    Sights on the way to the grocery store:

    Anyone else have some interesting things that they see on the way to buy groceries? We commonly see pronghorn antelope grazing in the pastures along with cattle.

    Recipe Rating

    I was looking up some recipes on the All Recipes website and ran across a pet peeve that has bugged me several times. Looking at the user ratings and reviews for a certain dish, and most of the comments were greatly positive, 4 and 5 stars, then I come to the one with a 2 star rating. The...

    Just Food for Thought

    You know that we live in a topsy-turvy world when lemonade is made with artificial flavors, while furniture polish is made with real lemons. :shock:

    This is for all persons who have served, are serving, or will one day serve in the defense of this country and our way of life. From one vet to another, thank you for your service. I proudly fly this flag and will never dishonor it by any voluntary act.

    Another Cast Iron Thread

    Anyone ever looked at this brand? https://shop.tastemade.com/products/smithey-cast-iron-skillets?utm_source=fb&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=smitheyvideoadtotmstore I think the price is more than outrageous... it's utterly ridiculous when you can buy a pre-seasoned Lodge for $15! :ohmy:

    Prairie Grass Fire in NE Colorado

    Yesterday we were under an evacuation warning for a 35,000 wildfire that ultimately passed about 6 miles north of town. Several farms were burned, and one rancher lost 200 head of cattle. Here are a couple of photos I took today of the aftermath. The fire took the grass and left the sand and...

    Final Sermon for Father Mulcahy

    William Christopher passed away yesterday at age 84. A lot of really talented people made their final bows last year. :unhappy:

    Let the Holiday Begin!

    I have officially begun the Christmas Holiday dinner. I salted the two prime ribs (one for those who like some pink, and one for those who don't). Next I went to the store and bought some oxtail for the au jus (stupidly expensive for what it is - thanks to Food Network for jacking the prices...

    Clean a Scorched Pan

    Don't know how old this is, but I just saw it on Facebook and thought I'd share it here. I've not tried it myself, so I can't verify it's true effectiveness. How to clean a burned on mess from a stainless pan without scrubbing:

    Ketchup Hate?

    Just curious about the comments I see occasionally about from folks who find ketchup to be somehow related to Satanic worship. I certainly don't put it on everything like my father did (never did understand why everything he ate had to taste like ketchup), but I do find it quite useful for...

    Flanken Ribs

    When we were in Safeway last week, I was thinking about buying some beef short ribs to braise. However, the prices on them have gotten completely out of control - I can't see paying steak prices for a lot of bone and fat. Ridiculous. :wacko: In the next compartment were something I've never...

    Pan Fried Steak

    I pan fried a 1½" ribeye last night for dinner - stainless tri ply pan, medium high heat on the largest burner on my gas range. Took it to 120° on my Thermapen, then let it rest to 130°. Perfect medium rare. I salted the meat with Kosher salt for an hour and a half at room temp before I...

    Le Creuset - Really?

    I have to ask - to those of you who tout the wonders of Le Creuset cookware - How do you justify the expense? I got an email this morning from Amazon for several Le Creuset pots "on sale" for around $300. I don't mean to insult anyone, but that is just nuts for a cooking pot. I can get this...

    Cheeseburger Salad

    Okay, don't turn your noses up yet. I'm trying to cut way back or eliminate carbs, especially refined carbs per my doctor's instructions, but one of my favorite foods is a hamburger. After an earlier discussion which involved a lettuce wrapped burger, which was acknowledged as being pretty...

    Flavored Salts

    I posted this in another thread, but it was headed a bit off topic, so I thought I'd start a new thread in the right forum and see where it takes us. I love using various seasoning salts when cooking, as well as putting some of them on the table when serving so guests can season to their own...

    Refrigerator Hate

    Yes, that's right. The fridge quit fridging Thursday as far as I can guess, and I discovered it Friday evening when I started to fix dinner and the frozen french fries weren't. Frozen that is. I checked the icemaker and it was half full of liquid ice.... also known as water. Some of the...

    Hurricane Joaquin

    Many of you know that I lived in the Bahamas for a bit over 2 years. We lived on Long Island, and that is one of the islands which has been devastated by Hurricane Joaquin. I am asking my friends here to mention in their prayers the poor folks down there who have lost everything to this...

    Wild Mushroom Stuffing (TnT)

    With at least one discussion already begun about Thanksgiving, I thought I'd post this now. This one is TnT and it's been a hit every time I've served it. This is the only stuffing recipe I've ever tried that is truly delicious made outside of the bird. It's rated as moderately difficult, but...
