    Keurig Coffee Maker

    I forgot about this thread. But as a follow up, I bought the Keurig for my son. He brought it over one evening, and I bought one for him too. My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed the Keurig. My son and I have bought different varieties, and I love trying new blends, rather than sticking to...

    Help me decide

    My Performer Story: I've been wanting a Performer for quite some time. I have the basic model with that pain-in-the *** ash catcher that is sometimes hard to dump and install. So I've been going to Ace Hardware since Christmas looking at the Performer, touching it, pretending it's mine...

    Keurig Coffee Maker

    It's been a while since there was a discussion here about this appliance. Bed Bath and Beyond has the B60 model on sale, my son wants one. Would be nice with the 20% off coupon. Would anyone recommend or not recommend it? Thanks!

    Oven-finished pork butt + foil drippings = unbelievable! Better than slow-smoked!

    When you bring the pork into the oven, does it give your kitchen/house a smokey smell (aroma)?? My wife doesn't care for the smoke aroma.

    Need recipe/ideas for 'portable' breakfast

    The B&B I used to work at had women owners, and they along with some of their friends were novice fly-fisherwomen. They asked me to pack them a breakfast they could pick up on their way out of town for one of their excursions. Seeing as how they expected something a little-out-of-the...

    Pannini Press

    My wife thinks I need a pannini press to make sandwiches. I think it would be a "storage nightmare" to have another seldom used appliance. So, I'm thinking one of these things will show up for Father's Day, she's been keeping the Williams-Sonoma catalog close to her chair. My question: Do...

    Steel Cut Oats

    I buy my steel cut oats at Whole Foods, formerly a Wild Oats. When it was Wild Oats, they were $1.19/lb. I paid $1.99 lb on Sunday. It's still cheaper than McCanns. They must be getting very popular, they run out of them sometimes. We do the overnight soak also. If you start the...

    Feeding the homeless *****

    Here's a couple of sites that have large quantity cooking: http://www.50plusfriends.com/COOKBOOK/cookcrowd/index-5a.html http://www.angelfire.com/bc/incredible/indexhundred.html When I worked at the B&B, I did a lot of breakfast stuff, and really liked things I could prep the day or 2 before...

    Favorite sides to go with brisket

    Rita, I used to work in a B&B and did weekend events, and we did a lot of scalloped and gratin potatoes in round shafer liners. I had help in the kitchen, everyone peeled, they sliced and I layered. The mandolin blade scared the crap out of me and we didn't have the slicing blades for the...

    Favorite sides to go with brisket

    I know it's too late, and I may raise some eyebrows, but.... I like scalloped or au gratin potatoes, but it takes a lot of time to shop, peel, slice, layer, sauce, bake, etc etc. My family loves (almost nearly as much) the boxed scallopped potatoes where you add milk and butter and let them...

    Sourdough Questions (Any enthusiasts out there?)

    I've never made it, but remember the time when Nancy Silverton was on Julia's show and made a sd starter with grapes. Here's a link: http://www.pbs.org/juliachild/meet/silverton.html#

    Pigs in a Blanket

    I used to make the velveeta grilled cheese for my kids when they were small, and cut them into "fingers" with the pizza wheel. Speaking of "classic" apps, my sister brought Sausage balls (made with Bisquick and sausage) to Thanksgiving. I hadn't had that since the 60's. And now I'm thinking...

    High Temp Brisket

    The high heat method works great (thanks KK). A week before Thanksgiving I did two packers. I don't monitor temps at all, foil after two hours, then check with a fork after two or so more hours. You'll know when it's done. The fork slips in easily. Trying to save all the juice, I...

    Wasabi powder?

    I never used it in a rub, but I do mix it with mayo and/or mustard and serve it on angel biscuits with pork tenderloin slices for party food. I like the wasabi peas too. Opens up the sinuses! I've crushed those and roll a cheeseball in them.

    Looks like I may be going into the Q business

    When I was a cook at a Bed & Breakfast, I had good luck with scrambled eggs holding on a buffet line by whipping in some sour cream and/or adding some heavy cream at the very end of the scramble. They would hold very nicely in a chafer pan over heat. I rarely let them sit for 45 minutes or...
