Had a lot of fun last year at our party and are planning basically the same menu. The only thing I am doing different is I bought the brisket about 2 weeks ago and froze it. It is really hard to get fresh brisket around here near St. Patty's day because they are all making it into corned beef...

Hey all! A new BBQ restaurant came into town a few months ago. It is kind of a big thing since nobody really cooks any decent BBQ here at all. Usually if I want it, I have to cook it myself. These people do a pretty good job and are passionate, but their food is lacking. I want to give them...

I have a small site about my home town that has a forum for locals and I thought a good idea to promote it would be to enter the local chili cookoff and that way people would hear "Boonville Forum dot com" over and over.. LOL, little did I think think I would actually WIN the contest heh...

Hey everyone, it has been a while since I have been around so I thought I would make a thread here so nobody elses thread gets hijacked. :) I have been real busy this year and since summer is rather short here, I have spent as little time online as a programmer can. We have done a massive...

We are beginning to plan our annual (9th) St. Patty's day party. So far we have invited about 50 people. The menu is very early, but the usuals will be there: Home made corned beef (we corn it ourselves), slow cooked in whiskey and beer (corning recipe) (corned beef recipe) Soda Bread Dill...

A little piece of Cathy in my home town:

Wifes idea, not mine. It is almost like he knew that was going to be seen by thousands online seconds after it was shot.

We made up a card for you all here. :) Here are my two boys delivering it. Merry Christmas everyone!

Sheesh, bout time. :) Anyway, I hope you use the Akismet feature as it really beats back the spammers. :) Oh, and we now have TAGS! Yay. :)

This is the one we picked out: Kenmore Elite 30 in. Electric Double Oven Freestanding Range - Model 9800 at Sears.com A couple of the reviews are not great, but the one looks like it was just wired in wrong, and the second is simply not the case in my opinion. We went to the store and...

So after quite a few adventures, we have gotten the down stairs presentable. I just wish my camera would do it justice. I am afraid it didn't fare well with the move. Anyway, here we go.

It has been a trial up here getting a sourdough starter err..... started.. With so many projects, I have let this one fall off. I threw out my old starter when we moved. I wanted to get yeasts from my new area and start from scratch. So I set up the water and flour method and left out the...

So we are throwing a dinner with some family this Sunday. I was relaxing on the couch getting annoyed at the Yankee game and decided to start thinking about h'orderves that I might whip up. Since the wife was working a night shift at the hospital, I was flying solo. So I popped open the...

Well, it looks as if the house is practically a done deal. We hope to close at the end of the month. Still keeping our fingers crossed, but at this point, everything is in place except a couple I's being dotted.. Here are some pics: This is the front of the house showing the front deck...

I have not posted a recipe in a while, sorry. I have been pretty swamped lately. Due to that fact, we have been eating a lot of steak of one kind or another here recently. It is just quick to cook on the grill and easy to prepare. It seems at least once or twice a week I try to create some...

Or tomorrow if you are celebrating St. Pattys day on Monday, where most of us who are having a party, are doing it on the 16th (Sunday). The recipe I use takes 8 days so it has to be in by tomorrow. I bought 21 lbs. of brisket today at a pretty decent price ($2.49 lb.) and just finished...

Or is it just Boning? I dunno, for some reason a title labeled "Boning Chicken" just seemed wrong. :rolleyes: Anyway, I learned a long time ago the basics of carving up a whole chicken but I never use it all that much mostly because I generally do not mix breast meat with leg meat in my dishes...

Kind of a funny story, but not if you lived it. :) While preparing to get married about two years ago, my wife (who was my girlfriend for almost 7 years) and I renovated an apartment in our apartment building to live in. It was right across the hall from the apartment I lived in as a bachelor...

If you watched the news the last couple of weeks, you probably have seen a bunch of stories on how food prices are going to start seriously going up. Much of this has to do with corn and other commodities going into ethanol but there are other reasons as well. It is about this time of year I...

Ok, so I was watching Lidia the other day make her own pasta and run it through a meat grinder (no blade) to make spaghetti. So I gave it a shot. It came out ok, but a bit "fuzzy", not sleek like I am used to having it. I kinda think I put too many eggs in the dough or something. Searching...
