awsome stuffff guys.!!!!!

Ya me too General.  It is a love hate thing looking at all of this great food.  I have never had smelt and have always been curious to try it since I love seafood.  I suppose buy it at the grocery store???   Those scallops look great too.  I bet you get good ones out there.  We did some chick thighs and they were pretty good.  Not picture perfect though.  Not up to you guys caliber but tasted good.

Careful with the "always tender" injected pork.  It can get pretty salty if you don't watch your seasoning.

I quite buying Hormel just for that reason!! No Matter what rub they always had that hammy cured flavor.Teals an Cashwise have different brand fresh ribs.Their sales always beat Cub by far.When the rib sale comes I buy for the year. Prairie Fresh brand whole slabs.

Thanks for the tip .  Maybe I'll forget about the seasoning and just add some of RH's BBQ sauce.  Wow Del I better give you an applaud  to even things out a bit

When I have to go to restaurant depot to get supplies for the shop I always get my seafood there, fresh from the strip district.  I also picked up a bag of mussels to make with linguine and a pound of shrimp that were so big I only got 10 for the pound. Everything is packed in ice for the ride home

buying seafood is the first sign of a bad fisherman!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"enhanced" meats have been around for years.  I use them all the time.  Yes they have a salt solution in them and are found in a lot of products.  There are some boneless chicken breasts that are enhanced as well or you could say "injected".  Just rinse the ribs off with cold water.  Lot of the solution is sucked out when they package it.  You will see the liquid when you open the cryo packs they come in.  I do like the non enhanced but when ribs are on sale it's game on, enhanced or not.  Most of my pork butts are Hormell and I make sausage from them.  I have used non-enhanced also when I can get a deal by the case and have not noticed any difference.  I haven't changed any of my rubs weather using enhanced or non-enhanced.  Just rinse the ribs off and your good to go in my opinion.  good luck.

You can put on a rub, just don't put any salt in it.   Some of the commercial stuff has a bunch of salt as well.

we had the RH Korean short ribs last night.  My son told me they were his new favorite.  I can't have that so I'm making walleye tonight and fried potatoes to get him off of RH's side of the ledger!!!

[Reinhard]

Way to spoil your kids Kris!!  Cubs has thin cut short ribs for 5.99 lb. this week    I don't think that they have ever had them on sale.  Word must be getting around.  How come you can't have any?  But fresh walleye is awesome as well.  good luck.

[leechlake]

I mis typed.  I meant I can't have him preferring an RH delicacy over my walleye.

I ate a bunch of them and did pick them up at Cub.  They are so good.  I have lost about 12-15 pounds but short ribs will never be skipped in a diet.

[Reinhard]

Ya, I'm bringing some up already marinaded and frozen ready for the grill for our vacation up on the Ash River Trail.  That , pulled pork and walleye will be our main meals.  Lot's of fried potatoes also with those eye's.  good luck.

[Reinhard]

Today a simple Asian veggie deal with fresh cucumber kimchi.  good luck.

I might not be so good with chop sticks rh, but I would hit that head on!!! Tasty

[Reinhard]

Probably should of had some great gilled/smoked items on here but since I took my wife and our Lucy [chocolat lab] fishing time is short.  So I made a pasta sauce yesterday enough to last two days.  My homemade sausage, basil, tomato sauce, riccota cheese, cottage cheese and other stuff thrown in there.  We caught plenty of pike and some small crappies but we are happy for the day together.  So many folks running around in Jet ski's and other stuff it made fishing on this smaller lake not what it should have been.  That's ok though.  Folks have to enjoy themselves and this is a holiday so you would expect that.    Hope everyone had a great day.  good luck.

Pecan Pie



[attachment deleted by admin]

[LPS]

Good job Del.  I like pecan pie but have never made one.  I just learned the method to make cheesecake in a pie tin a couple of years ago.  May have to expand my horizons.

[delcecchi]

Actually, if you buy the crust it is really easy.  Even making a crust isn't that hard.  Just takes a little experience.   

The filling is
3 eggs, mixed. 
1 cup sugar
1 cup karo syrup, light or dark.  I use half of each or sometimes throw in a quarter cup or so of maple syrup instead of some of the karo. 
2Tbsp Butter, melted. 
1 T vanilla
Pinch salt.
1 1/2 to 2 cups of pecans.   

Mix it all together, Put in pie shell and bake at 350 for 50+ minutes, maybe as much as 60.  Top will sort of puff a little, or you can stick a instant read thermometer in and look for like 180 in the middle. 

[delcecchi]

Just double checked.  Recipe says 200 degrees in middle to be done.   

And the Pillsbury crusts aren't bad.     

[delcecchi]

Done.

Nice job Del!!!  Love a piece of that with some coffee.  Thanks for the recipe also.  good luck.

[delcecchi]

Stole the recipe of the back of the Karo Syrup bottle.   Buy the crusts and you could have one in the oven in 10 minutes.... 

Almost as easy as a key lime pie...

[HD]

That there, is prolly the only kind a pie I really like! 
Nice Job!

[Bobberineyes]

Looks great del, I'll applaud that. 

[delcecchi]

Thanks.  That will help make up for whoever (reb cough) is smiting me all the time...

del ya got a ways to go yet to catch me!!!

[dew2]

Done.

Same recipe we use,The ole girl makes a killer pie crust so I refuse to buy any.Well unless she says buzz off. We got used to adding crushed pecans to the batter just cause we both prefer pecans over most nuts.And I have a source for pecans in Texas where they rake em in a pile like we do leaves and burn them!!!

[LPS]

Thanks.  That will help make up for whoever (reb cough) is smiting me all the time...
 

I too applaud you sir. I didn't realize you had so many smites.....  lol  That at least means someone is thinking of you....   I may make a pie this weekend.  AND I like the pecan idea too.  May incorporate that too Dew.  Did you know that pecans are sort of in the poison ivy family.  I guess that is why you never see them in the shell.  Ever eat a whole bunch of them and then in a day or two you get a itchy _ss?  Think about it the next time you have pecans......      I am going to research it now too.
