Nice and thanks for the great idea for queso frite!

" Sorry, but I now tend to use recipes for ideas, not instructions. That was my first bbq Cookbook, and both the info and lots of recipes were attractive. As for The Everything Tex-Mex Cookbook by Linda Larson, I'm now guessing my post about it may have been in Recipes.

I forgot the pic. But this only shows clearly about a quarter of the dog-ears. Maybe limits the usefulness? But I just found so much of interest.

Very good, I agree. But the single most dog-eared book in my collection is his BBQ USA. Followed by The Tex-Mex Cookbook that I described earlier here. The latter is my most used and a key reference. Still available on Amazon.

Possibly, Joan. But think of all the joyful anticipation you have...

Hm-m. It sounds like ymay be a candidate for a Kindle device. :)) I also have the app on my laptop, but seldom use it. The Kindle Team ability to keep multiple devices in sync in the right book and page is excellent -- at one point I had four devicerukept in sync: an early Kindle, my...

As for new books, I'm off-and-on reading a wonderful book that a friend recently gave me -- The Tar Heels by Ron Smith. It obviously will have limited audience, but for Carolina and ardent basketball fans, this is a wonderful read! Though I have only started, the writing, the basketball...

IMO, the Kindle app for any phone is better than the Kindle device. My wife has the Paperwhite (her second Kindle) and, after trying it myself, will not put up with the limitations I encountered. My wife says the phone screen is not large enough which I consider bogus. The ease of use on...

One of the best books to search through.

Great luck! One of the best.

My wife has a Kindle Whitepage (whatever) and I have always used the Kindle app -- previously on a tablet, and now my phone (3 different less expensive ones). No question about my preference for a phone with the Kindle app. Kindle's white screen is still glaring (to me) -- especially in a dark...

Yeah, looking forward to those "longer, warmer" days in Jan/Feb. -- sign me Summer Guy.

So I finished The Oregon Trail last night. Reminder: It's about a 2011 wagon/mule trip across the old Oregon Trail. Excellent read -- especially if you have the sense of adventure to think you might want to do that yourself. This may disabuse you! Now I'm moving on to Mark Twain' s Roughing...

Very nice, Chris -- thank you! Also loved thr review of the burnt ends. I've seen them at Costco but, despite their generally having quality products, hesitated to try. (See my comment below.) Now I will despite the relatively minor reservation. Costco has two similarly packaged pulled-...

Looks good -- and pretty perfect. What did you find wrong?

It's really amazing how transmission and antenna tech has changed. It was only 10-15 years ago that indoor antennas could only reach about 10 miles -- at least that time is in my memory.

Yeah, Apex is easy. The antenna farm is about 5+ miles away. I'd be interested to know is he gets the 4 Chapel Hill based NC PBS stations that are a few miles west of me (maybe 20+ miles from him). I know he gets NC PBS as they are re-transmitted from about 12 towers around the state -- I get...

No question that most indoor antennas are for "local" channels. 100 miles is a stretch for any antenna. With my 8-bay antenna properly coupled with a large, older "winged" (my term) 100-mile antenna plus amplifier AND a rotor, I could pull in stations from Charlotte 100-125 miles away to the...

Despite all the bad-mouthing here and the low reviews at Amazon, I have this one currently sitting almost invisibly on my window sill 4 feet off the ground and I get every station within 50 miles including those with the better 4K transmission provided over the air...

You or Al Capone Larry? The quote and your comments suggest it's Capone. Do a simple Google on "Al Capone History" and basically all you get is the negative and the movie/tv presentations along with a lot of commentary about how most of the "story" was made up for "excitement". Oops: The...
