It was commented by Seriouswriter (a contributor here), sometime ago, that I should try coating a ham with a 50/50 mixture of brown sugar and mustard. Being distracted by all life has had to offer, it has taken all this time to give it try.
Last night we had some family over for dinner and I [...]

I’ve gone on and on about the different ways to smoke meat. Finally, I am going to have to pick one and write about it.
So here we go.
First of all, I am most familiar with using a brine to cure and flavor the meat. In a bit of research about what is out there [...]

Maybe you are expecting me to be writing a complaint or rant or something with the “wacky” title. Nope, it’s a recipe. No really!
Neck roast.
This recipe applies for any of the odd (cheaper or tougher) cuts from the Chuck (that is the front quarter on Beef or Venison). For my [...]

I love shortbread. People have mixed feelings about it — some think it’s dry, or just not what they think a cookie ought to be. Well, I’m not one of them, and I have some recipes to back that opinion up. Besides, it’s easy to make, and quick — serious benefits in my opinion.

The midwest ice storms make me want to curl up on the couch with a good book, wrapped in a blanket in front of a fire — and I live in Florida and am currently wearing shorts. I can only imagine the extent to which the rest of the country is experiencing similar couch-envy. It’s [...]

Hi, everyone. I’m new here, but I promise not to poison you. I love to cook (or so my 800 cookbooks tell me — at least, they did before I sold about 200 of them off. 800 is ridiculous. 600, somehow, is sane. Never mind.) but I don’t always have the sort of time required [...]
