    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Do you think they build the wind turbines and then bring on the wind? Any desication would be caused by the wind whether the turbines were there or not. The vibration or noise can likely be reduced. As Tonington said, "There is no such thing as a totally benign generation system." If the...

    Sugar free/Low Carb

    No that is not a problem. The ribs and a lot of other meats tend to give up a fair amount of water while cooking. When I do a lot of ribs I use our big canning kettle. I stand 5 or 6 racks of ribs on the metal widget that you stand the jars in. I use only a cup or two of liquid to steam the...

    Sugar free/Low Carb

    Diet Baby Back Ribs. 1) Sprinkle the ribs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder. Or, if you have a special rub you like that doesn't have sugar, by all means use that. I've used cajun and Old Bay and they are also good. Pat the spices in, and put ribs in the refrigerator for at...

    Sugar free/Low Carb

    Are you controlling your diabetes with insulin or just diet? What sorts of food do you like. There are a whole lot of different meats that can be cooked in a slow cooker or croc pot. I would guess that you try to limit starchy foods and fatty foods that eventually end up as sugar. Lean...

    Karrie Are you talking about a pork loin roast or a pork tenderloin? They are subtly different. Cook's Thesaurus: Pork Loin Cuts

    Blender Drinks

    You don't actually put lime juice in the drink. It is enough if you simply say "lime juice" in the same room. Keep the Tequila in the freezer and you can do away with the ice..........;-)

    Pork tenderloin... and no meat thermometer

    Zan I tried your original 550 degree recipe last night and it worked fine. I thought my stove might retain the heat a bit longer than most so I peeked and made a little cut at forty minutes and it was still a tiny bit too pink....I gave it another 15 minutes or the rest of the time on the...

    Blender Drinks

    Hey Karrie, finish the recipe. Is that a bottle of Tequila and a bottle of lime juice? Oops....You dip the glass in the lime juice, then in the salt, and top off the glass with iced Tequila......That sounds a lot like a Margarita...;-):lol:

    Has something happened that I missed?

    I have been complaining of late that my computer was slowing down. It was getting to the point where just getting on to the internet would take 3 or 4 minutes. I'm running a 2.6 gigahertz AMD dual core processor that I've had for about a year. It is certainly not the fastest machine but it...

    Have you used induction cooker?

    I haven't tried them but I've seen a few advertising blurbs. A few months back we just bought about $6000.00 worth of new appliances but they are all conventional, tried and true.......meaning it's too late now...;-):smile: I doubt we'll be changing anytime soon.

    Pork tenderloin... and no meat thermometer

    Exactly right Andem. An eyeball check is best. If the meat is almost white with just a trace of pink, it is just about perfect.

    Pork tenderloin... and no meat thermometer

    Zan the only way I know to completely eliminate the pink without drying the tenderloin out is to braise it. We just bought a new stove(six months ago)and everything including the oven and the elements stay hot for an awfully long time after you turn them off. Cooking an uncovered tenderloin...

    Pork tenderloin... and no meat thermometer

    Zan I cook pork tenderloin at least half a dozen times a year. My favorite recipe calls for a one pound tenderloin to be cooked 35 minutes at 375 degrees F, and a two pound tenderloin 55 minutes at 375 degrees. This generally gets them just a bit pink in the middle but not raw. Good...
