I was home on leave from the Army in the late 60s. I was the first of my circle of friends to enter the service, although, within the year all of us were in Uncle Sam's employ. But at that moment I was the "Stud Duck". I was so full of s**t, Mr macho man, trained killer, ad nauseum. At some...

It had been a month of Sundays with no time off. I had not gotten to get in the boonies for several months. The next week end I was to have off. I called my brother-in law, who was a workaholic like me, who also had not been out of the city limits for months, ane we decided to take a...

Bearridge, There wasn't a lot to look at in the panhandle was there. :lol: I don't blame you for taking a different route back, but the Texas panhandle isn't a whole lot more scenic, except for the canyon north of Amarillo. If there was any money in farming, I would still be doing it. I...

Burrum River. Absolutely awesome river, terrific vegetation, great photos, and good reportage! I am so jealous, that I am turning green! Thank you. Jim

I can take Spam or leave it. It CAN get old in a New York minute, though. I grew up eating nothing we didn't grow on the farm, and Spam was a real treat. (NOT "TREET", Spam's much inferior analog!) And to this day, I keep a case of Vienna sausage in the garage. It brings back good memories of...

I spent my teenage years in NW Oklahoma, on a dairy farm. We went through truck load after truck load of hay every year. One winter we were running short of hay, and my Dad bought an entire barn full of hay, about a half mile down the road. It was a pole barn, with no floor, and for those who...

Piper, There is great food all over the world. I love it all. (A little too much, I fear.) Cajun cuisine is one of the smallest, and for some reason, restricted. Oklahoma or Missouri has the best BBQ, San Antonio, the best Tex-mex. The crab cakes and the low land boil are on the East coast...

Jack, I have tried the upside-down ploy on a cherry pie with a wood fire. unfortunately, I didn't make provision for getting the pot off the lid, and ended up with a lot of ash and coals on top of the pie. And I couldn't get enough heat under the pie, so the bottom was raw. I was lucky that...

Dutch Oven Pizza Get the dutch oven hot and remove from the main fire. You just need a handful of coals beneath it. A little exrta virgin olive oil in the bottom, and smeared around. Put in a flour tortilla in the dutch oven, spread about a quarter cup of bottled pizza sauce on the tortilla...

jdupre', Jacobs doesn't distribute his andoulle in any other stores. The customer area of his store is about the size of an average bathroom. And it's always crowded. They do however have a website:http://www.cajunsausage.com/ By the way, turn off your cell phone before entering the store...

Fo' o' tree yankees might not unnerstand dis' T-Jay. Doze way up Nort, 'round Baton Rouge. I am not Cajun, worse- I married one. I'm Cherokee from east Oklahoma. After Becoming semi Cajun by osmosis, playing guitar in Louisiana,, and Missippissi for several years. then , after thirty years, I...

I am not sure of the time line, but either Zatarains, is an imitation of Tony's, or Tony Chachere improved the formula. Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning is the better of the two! Having said that, both are head and shoulders above all other salt type seasonings. A close third is Old Bay, I...

FYI, Raka doesn't discount for UJ customers, but their prices are among the lowest in the epoxy retailer industry I will order more stuff from Larry tomorrow, but it kind of peeved me not to get a discount, but, mind you, LARRY didn't tell there was a discount, I just read it over and over on...

Blackwater, The method really works well. I have chamfered hundreds of feet of spruce 2X4 for railing, and miles of pine barn batt. It works best on a factory edge. If you somehow screw up a cut, then that edge is forever useless, until the wood is run though a jointer or planer, which kind of...

You can rip 2Xs with a skilsaw. Mark the 2x accurately for about four inches. Carefully use the skilsaw to cut into the end of the 2x for those four inches and stop. Unplug the saw, and clamp a small pair of visegrips on the front of the foot of the saw, hard against the 2X. Plug the saw back...
