    Local speech that drives you crazy

    Re: I live in Appalachia so I hear things that stop me in my tracks until I realize what it is that has been said. I was once riding on my motorcycle and stopped to ask for some directions. The farmers daughter was another part of the reason. Lovely girl. But after I asked how far it...

    Name brand versus off brand

    Re: I grew up around women who had studied "Home Economics" (anyone remember that) I was also taught much of what I know by them. I first became an efficient cook and learned to do so much with so little I thought I could do anything with practically nothing at all. LOL Then later I was...

    Coffee ... How Do You Drink It?

    Re: It's probably germane to my geographic area. As I learned the word in this use, "to cup" it means to develop a manner of roasting and brewing a consistent flavor of coffee. Much like creating a recipe that will proof the same for everyone when they try it the first time. In my years...

    What are your best tips for cooking at the campsite?

    What are your best tips for cooking at the campsite?

    Re: I have to agree with the OP, prefab much of what you take with you. Depending on the kind of camping you'll be doing. If you set up camp in a camp ground with a view and there is a lake for fishing & boating with trails for hiking and bicycling, then you may not want to spend all your...

    What would you make for breakfast if time wasn't an issue?

    Re: I have something I make called a Breakfast Casserole that is a hit with everyone who tries it. My surplus time isn't always predictable so I can make this ahead for a Sunday Breakfast or cut it up and put it in plastic zip locks for later use. Here is a basic recipe I started with. You...

    Coffee with friends

    Re: Not long ago our local Public Library held a "Tea". It was the first I had ever attended. I had noticed these little places called "Tea Rooms" over the years but never saw much traffic around them. The women who put it on were instructors at a local community college and knew the lore...

    Rusted Lodge Hibachi

    Re I have loads of Cast Iron including Griswold, Wagner, and Lodge. I've picked it up at various yard sales & flea markets. If it's anything larger, you can line a box with a lawn and leaf bag to make like a bath tub. Then put one piece of your iron in and use regular cola soda to pour...

    Canned Sausage???

    My Grand Folks talked about doing this when they had their Farm. But.......I think why people regard this as having been so good was more because of the farm raised pork that they had to work with. There is a big difference in farm raised and the feed lot meat products you get in the grocery...
