We've pretty much been living out of the pantry and the near freezing garage for drinks so we can keep all the stuff cold in the fridge by not opening if for fear of lost power for unknown periods of time for more than a week now. Our power has been off and on so many times I could retire again if someone would pay me a $10 / time per week. I make a mean Ritz cracker with crunchy peanut butter for sure. Did score some wildflower honey to mix with the peanut butter yesterday too.🤗😋

Only one more hour below freezing with only one more brief touch of it @ 32F overnight Sun. From then on for at least two weeks no more freezing weather. Now the state is trying to recover potable drinking water as they fix all broken mains and individual breaks in homes. Our 2 kids both live within 5 min. but their side of the main street is on boil while we are not. They bring their families here for showers and fill containers from our "good" water. My daughter gets a refill of their propane today they think. They were down to less that 10% which they use for keeping the house above 50F inside. Worst we got was 58F during one of the rolling blackouts when it was 5F outside.

Oh yes we have a winner !   I love ❤️ hot dog shops with very reasonable prices......they should try and franchise into the Cleveland BROWNS area !

[mjp28]

I see a gold mine of opportunity for someone with a little ambition to franchise this..... but do check out the existing names and competition first -but- hot dogs sell.....and good profit margins !

This is DEFINITELY GAMEDAY food !

CLASSIC CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE, mmmmm, this is what we are having this Wednesday March 17, 2021 St Patrick's Day !  https://www.mrfood.com/Beef/Classic-Corned-Beef-and-Cabbage/apv/1

 And see the link at the bottom for the fastest Corn Beef and Cabbage.

SERVES  6. COOK TIME. 3 HOURS 10 MINUTES

Nothing says St. Patrick's Day like this Classic Corned Beef and Cabbage recipe. You don't have to be Irish to enjoy a taste of fork-tender corned beef with a hearty helping of potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. Now that's what we call dinnertime goodness!

What You'll Need

• 1 (3- to 3-1/2-pound) corned beef brisket with pickling spices
• 8 cups water
• 4 potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
• 4 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
• 1 green cabbage, cut into 2-inch wedges

What to Do

1. In a large Dutch oven over high heat, bring corned beef with pickling spices and water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 2-1/2 hours, or until almost fork-tender.
2. Add potatoes, carrots, and cabbage to corned beef and continue cooking, covered, 25 to 30 minutes, or until vegetables and corned beef are fork-tender.
3. Place corned beef on a cutting board and slice across the grain. Serve with vegetables.

Common Questions About Corned Beef

So your corned beef is in the pot, you've checked it with a fork, but you're scratching your head wondering if it's "fork tender" and asking yourself "How do you know when corned beef is done cooking?" Well, the answer is simple! If you have a meat thermometer handy, insert it into the meat (being sure not to touch the sides or bottom of your cooking pot!), and check the internal temperature. Corned beef should be cooked to a minimum of 145 degrees Farenheit for the ideal tender, juicy result. 

Another very common question is "Do you rinse corned beef before cooking?" And the answer is yes, absolutely (unless you want a very salty result). Don't worry that this will rinse away all the flavor, though! All you're doing is removing the excess salt which has been infusing the meat with loads of flavor, up until cooking time--it's supposed to be removed before going on the heat! That little seasoning packet will continue adding plenty of delicious flavors to your recipe as it cooks, and you won't miss that excess salt. 

• BONUS! In keeping with our St. Patrick's Day theme, how about putting out a plate of Irish Soda Bread with your corned beef?!
   
• BONUS! Looking for a couple of other ways to make corned beef and cabbage? Make it in your pressure cooker with our recipe for Fastest Corned Beef & Cabbage, or in your slow cooker with our recipe for Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage.

I always like themed tailgates.  As we get in to the season, I may add some tailgate options that highlight our opponents city.

[calfoxwc]

in my search for the perfect biscuits, I'm finally happy that I have the biscuits.

But I have the same search going for the perfect cornbread, and they either have no taste

or too crumbly. not good.

Biscuits :

2 cups soft white flour

1 tbsp baking powder (the good stuff)

1 tsp salt (might cut back on the salt a bit since I melt good salted butter on them after baking)

1/4 cup crisco butter flavored shortening (prefer all vegetable)

3/4 cup buttermilk or 2/3 cup milk. (I had to use the 2/3 cup with a half tsp apple cider vinegar - worked terrific).

next time I"ll try buttermilk.

*************************************************

    cornbread. I used to make Hawaiian cornbread, but it was more like a sweet cake. Not what I want with bbq ribs or a plate

of ham and beans. Just can't get it right. Too much or all corn meal - way too crumbly. no sugar/too much flour... - loses taste.

work in progress.

[TexasAg1969]

I tried out my oven fried Yucca root and learned a lesson. Flip them over halfway through or the bottom tends to overcook a bit more than the top. Still they were very good with the hard bottoms. My brother comes to town tomorrow and I will be cooking them again since he also grew to like them when we lived in Venezuela. He'll be pleased with experiment #2.😋

1 lb roll of Bob Evans sausage (original in the white pack)...browned & crumbled

Combine all & microwave & stir at 2 minute intervals.

I serve with Shearers yellow tortilla rounds, but Scoops, etc work fine too.

Time to take a CITY HOT DOG GUIDE to hit some of the more popular ones around the USA.   And of course what ever your favorite dog is ! 

What's your favorite hot dog topper? Our hot dog guide features regional hot dog toppings from across the country. No matter which is your favorite top dog, we have tasty suggestions for a hot dog buffet bar that's perfect for entertaining.  And always great for GAMEDAY or anyday.

What to Do

For your next party, place any or all the toppings listed for each city’s specialty hot dog in individual serving dishes along with a decorative card listing instructions on how to “Build Your City Dog” for each city. Everyone will “go to town”!

CHICAGO DOGS
Arrange your hot dog exactly like they do in the Windy City. Place a steamed or grilled hot dog in a bun. Add:

• Yellow Mustard: Squirt mustard directly on hot dog from one end to the other.
• Relish: Add a generous amount of sweet relish.
• Chopped Onions: Place onions on top of the hot dog.
• Two Tomato Wedges: Place tomatoes along the crevice between the top of the bun and the hot dog.
• Pickle Spear or Slice: Place pickle in the crevice between bottom of bun and the hot dog.
• Two Sport (pickled) Peppers: Place two sport (pickled) peppers on top of the hot dog.
• Celery Salt: Sprinkle a dash of celery salt over the hot dog.

NEW YORK HOT DOGS
A “Big Apple” favorite, hot dogs topped with Pushcart Onion Sauce are sold by vendors on the sidewalks of New York City:

• Place a steamed or grilled hot dog in a bun.
• Top with spicy brown mustard and Pushcart Onion Sauce made from onions stewed in tomato paste or sauce.

KANSAS CITY HOT DOGS
This hot dog celebrates the Reuben Sandwich and is a staple at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City:

• Place a steamed or grilled hot dog in a sesame seed bun.
• Top with shredded Swiss Cheese (the heat of the hot dog melts it to perfection) and sauerkraut.

ATLANTA HOT DOGS
Drag your hot dog “through the garden” just like they do in Atlanta:

• Place a steamed or grilled hot dog onto a top sliced bun.
• Top it with fresh homemade coleslaw or store-bought.

DETROIT HOT DOGS
Detroit “Coney Island Hot Dogs” are named in honor of the Coney Island section of Brooklyn, New York, where hot dogs were originally popularized. These have a Michigan spin to them:

• Place a steamed or grilled hot dog in a bun.
• Smother with all-beef chili, chopped raw white onion, yellow mustard and shredded Cheddar cheese.
