    Does anyone remember "Red's Tamales?"

    Really...!!! Heh heh I'm spoiled in that I'm a native and consider Reno, NV to be "back east"...And it was a coplete shock for me to discover that other parts of the country don't have the foods I was raised on here... Mexican, Italian, Crab, and Tri-Tip are king out here... But there's...

    My PSA of the day

    That said...How to I organise my data...??? On my computers (I have 5 in active service) I separate the data files from the program files...and I create sub directories (folders) specifically for certain type of data, such as photo's, music, video, data files, email, letters and documents...

    My PSA of the day

    I use several LOCAL methods for a 3 level backup...... I will *never* trust MY stuff to a remote "cloud" where my data could be stolen or otherwise compromised...if my data is NOT in my hands it's NOT in my control... A few years ago I had the boot drive on my primary computer do a fatal...

    What's in the Garden?

    Fresno Chili's... I never heard of them until one day, several decades ago, I was picking blackberries next to the upper Napa River, and I noticed the peppers the Campesino's grew were Fresno's... So I order some every year from a garden supplier... It's still to early to put them out in...

    Chili Challenge

    Fiona - If it was me I'd start with bbq Tri-tip...chill after cooking and then cut it into cubes 1/2" or smaller.. I use NO tomato or beans...a variation of Tex-Mex chili...the rest is secret beyond the usual spices and a pinch of cornstarch to thicken...

    Elusive Cut finally Captured in S. Florida!

    [/INDENT] Your "dry rub" has some rather wet ingredients... :ermm: $6.99 a pound is a typical price, but when Safeway has it on sale for $3.99 you KNOW I'll go there and buy as many as I have storage space for... The great thing about a Tri-Tip is that you really don't NEED to marinate...
