    Jacque Pepin's Maman's cheese souffle

    (putting this here as I usually make this as a main, but it can certainly be used as a side.) First of all, if you're afraid of the lore surrounding souffle, don't be. This is a very forgiving and easy recipe. I'm not going to reprint his (okay, her's really,) recipe, as it's easily...

    Seen early this AM

    That's some pretty impressive wildlife. Back home in MI where I grew up, we always liked to see small predators like foxes and the occasional coyotes, as they'd keep the small rodent population down (orchard damage.) There has been the occasional badger, though..... Slight side note, at least...

    Seen early this AM

    Predators only come around if there is a food supply. If that fox feeds itself, it'll hang around, and probably address the Alvin issue.

    That looks rather unpleasant. Did you try the ultrasonic cleaner?

    Old neighborhood "corned beef brisket" cooking?

    The owners of the local diner make the best corned beef I've every tasted, his sauce is phenomenal. They also cater a corned beef & cabbage lunch at the taproom's annual anniversary party (this year is this coming weekend,) and we will be there to get plates as soon as they're set up. I've...

    Doggone it.....Who put away their snowblower?????

    It's going to be quite nice for the next few days, but wet by the week, maybe a bit of sludge again.

    OK Ribs on Big Z and Single Malt

    Balvenie DoubleWood is a very good choice. :) We have an alcohol problem, but it's not a consumption problem, it's a purchasing problem.

    Corn on the cob

    I've taken to husking the cobs completely, along with the silk (a paper towel helps to grab onto the silk.) No soaking or seasoning before grilling. Grilled over medium to high direct charcoal, a minute to a minute & a half, on each quarter. I grill until I get some good caramelization on the...

    Spreadable butter with avocado oil.

    Same thing we do. Salted butter in a covered dish on the counter, we'll go through a stick in 3-5 days. Unsalted for cooking & baking in the fridge. I'll keep a stick of each in reserve in the fridge, longer term storage is in the freezer.

    Doggone it.....Who put away their snowblower?????

    Also known as driving by Braille. I've made trips across da YooPee in ugly weather where we were just about the only idiots on the road. Oops.... off the right side, slight correction, oops, off the left side, lather, rinse, repeat.

    Doggone it.....Who put away their snowblower?????

    The forecast last night showed that we were right in the sweet spot for snowfall in MN. Traffic around the Twin Cities Metro was a mess this morning, and due to how heavy the snow is, a lot of power outages as well. My UPS squawked just before midnight about a power flicker, but no other...

    Doggone it.....Who put away their snowblower?????

    27 degrees at 7:00 AM here, with 6" of what looks like pretty wet sludge down overnight, and supposed to continue until lunchtime. Very pretty, as long as I can stay indoors. This is not a snowfall I care to shovel.

    Getting a Baratza Virtuoso+

    I do recall some of your tales. Also helped some long time friends with some work at her mother's house, who was a chain smoker. Thick coat of nicotine on EVERYTHING in the house. IIRC, after she passed, nothing in the house was salvageable. Anything food related..... is an invitation for...

    Getting a Baratza Virtuoso+

    That is a bet that I would NOT take. I'd be far more likely to suspect that there's coffee grinders that would require a full HazMat suit with bottled air for disassembly.

    Buttermilk baking powder biscuits

    And the obligatory picture.... Blueberry lemon.

    Buttermilk baking powder biscuits

    For a savory version.... Cheddar Thyme biscuits Stir in 1/2 to 1 cup of grated cheddar (we like sharp or extra sharp) along with 1.5 teaspoons of dried thyme. Be careful with the thyme, it's quite easy to overdo it. Another good variation might be some chopped chives instead of thyme.
