    Pot Roast to die for

    You have an important point, but it's a whole thread of it's own. I'd love to talk about poverty, it's effect on people and the range of poverty here and over there. You jump from injecting a little humour to whining and bitching with a couple of people that for the most part no one is terribly...

    Pot Roast to die for

    I used to be a big fan of porterhouse, then the fillet Mignon but I have to say that the rib eye steak is a fine cut and has the nicest flavour broiled during the winter months.

    Pot Roast to die for

    Beans and eggs also rock. But probably you can get a better value for your money. Buying a package of dried beans and rice and a few spices would cost you about the same as a pack of wieners but you could get many more healthy and fulfilling meals out of it. In season vegetables also make for...

    Ever been on a Catamaran

    I've been reading up on these new Catamarans coming out of Florida and I was wondering if anyone has ever been on one? I wouldn't mind chartering one in the Bahamas for a week but it's pretty expensive. So I sure would like to hear about it first. They look pretty awesome.

    Our cooling world

    I found this place mentioned in the paper, and it looks interesting on first browse. I haven't really looked deeply into it yet, not really know the affiliations it has that speaks to it's credibility. But I must say that the concept I find intriguing. http://carma.org/?hpid=topnews

    Origins of the Hamburger

    Ain't that just the way of it? :) Flour on Buns happens but I find it very unappealing. Some you can brush off with a stiff brush but there is something to picking each bun out individualy to get the best of the best. I saw a High Roast Chicken today, done on a broiler at 500 degrees F. A few...

    Origins of the Hamburger

    My eyes bugged out when I saw free shipping. Sadly they don't ship to Canada. :-( Though I suppose picking up the trailer model would be doable. heh heh

    Origins of the Hamburger

    Because you burn wood in it, there is without a doubt that some small amount would make it into the cooking of the meat. I saw a brisket cooked on one of these as well as some ribs. One guy was talking about feeding in different types of wood to start and finish with. Even soaking some of the...

    The next step is a smoker BBQ. I saw this type and I'm smitten! The fire is set in the small side on the left. So there is no flame under the meat which means no flare ups. Just the heat and smoke from the wood fills the chamber and exits via the stack on the right. Slow cooking steps...

    Origins of the Hamburger

    Fast food is terrible! I will pit my burger against any fast food burger, my fires against any fast food fries bar none. Take time to savor food and enjoy the company you eat with. The work will always be there waiting for you when you return.

    What's Cookin' Good Lookin'?

    Oh man you have to try this butternut squash sauce. With the Rigatoni it was very nice and a very interesting change to a tomato or Alfredo type sauce. The Rigatoni is big enough that the sauce gets inside and so you get this burst of peppery Butternut flavour. Al dente is the way to cook the...

    What's Cookin' Good Lookin'?

    A new one I'm trying tonight: Rigatoni with a butternut squash sauce, with basil garlic shrimp and parmesan cheese. It seems like something just right for a cold blustery day. I found the recipe for it on the Food Network website.
