  1. We bought a new Weber "Q"300 gas grill this year. So far it's been the best grill I've used. We only have done several meals, because our weather hasn't quite changed over to "decking" yet.

    When we had a hot spell in March, TheBrit tried his famous beer-can chicken. Mmmmm, it was the best ever, and took half the time!

  2. FLASH!!!! MUST READ....LOL

    bearskin is unhappy with win 7. I have downgraded to win xp pro. good for 2 more years.

    I like both. I was dragged, kicking and screaming into 7, but it ain't bad. So I have XP at the shop, and Win7 at home.

  3. Hi bozodog

    I'm very curious of this 28 day aged, prime porterhouse.

    21 years discovered the Food Saver vacuum pack machine at a trade show, only have aged a steak maybe a week in the refrigerator.

    So tender I'll have to try again, thanks for the memories.

    Ouch we had 18" snow here for leap year 29 Feb so here's what I saw, thankfully I had the truck ready to go, car safe in the garage.

    Porch charcoaler had to wait its turn.

    Take care and please let me know.

    Marsh, we buy our beef from a local butcher, that buys all his meat from the Amish. Been doing business with him for many years. When we are ready to order a quarter, we ask him to pick us a nice USDA Prime, and hang it, this is called Dry Aged. This last hind cost us under $3.00 a hanging pound, we only lost about 20 pounds to the aging and processing. You can't beat the tenderness and flavor. Even the hamburger tastes aged.

    From what I understand, wet aging can go longer than a week. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beef_aging

  4. Whoot! We just bought a new Weber Q300 gas grill, and it's a beauty! It arrived Wed, so we assembled it and gave it the recommended 1 hour burn.

    Thursday we grilled a 28 day aged, prime porterhouse, seasoned zucchini, and asparagus. Deeeee-lish!

    Sadly, since then we got 8" of snow.... :(

  5. Dang! Won't see that game. We're spending the long weekend on Lake Michigan, in a beautiful house on the dunes. No TV, no phone, no internet. Traditional turkey dinner, with all the fixins.

    Pee Ess.... Tony Stewart won the NASCAR 2011 championship.

  6. Thanks shanenin. We were finding folks around here didn't get BritFix, until they spoke to hubby. :)

    I missed the due date for the Yellow Pages last year, so started working on a new name.(kinda good, we ran into $10K worth of new septic system and well this spring) We'll make it this year, and are looking forward to the increased business.

    Waiting on signs. Another good thing, the one out front is showing it's age. We had magnetic fridge calendars made up, and are sticking them to cars all over the city.

  8. The answer is so easy, don't do drugs if you want/need help .Don't do drugs if you want a good job.(that includes government workers) Cops and firemen are already tested. Would YOU like a doper cop protecting you and your family?

    What does the unemployable that are mentally ill have to do with testing welfare takers? Here in the US, under sixty percent pay the income tax that funds handouts to the rest. How is it fair that the citizens "least able to defend themselves" has become nearly 50% of the nation? Some out there just don't deserve it, and are scamming the system.

  9. Where is it a violation of civil rights? If you don't want to take a drug test, don't apply for a handout. That's easy, and no violation.

    If you don't want to take a drug test, don't apply for a job with quality company, and keep mowing lawns.

    If you don't want tests, don't be a pro athlete.

    I know we will agree to disagree, but it's the working taxpayers, "too much cash".

  10. I am just making a point, which you agree with, that drug testing everyone is ridiculous

    Nooo, I'm not agreeing with that. I think drug testing every/anyone is a legitimate requirement for employment OR receiving welfare. Everyone that works at the companies above had to test before going to work, and face random and post accident testing everyday. Why shouldn't folks that DON'T work for their money?

    Here in Michigan we finally made a law restricting welfare to 48 months. Four years!!! Social programs are supposed to be a hand up, not a career.

  11. Oh, you sound so very liberal, hitest...Wide spread!?!!! No offense, but most quality employers have drug testing mandates. Before employment, on the job accident, and random.(even MacD's and Home Depot) My neighbor's company hits hard the day after the superbowl, with a round of random tests. Even temp agencies test...

    I'd suspect drug use by anyone that is wanting a ride on the taxpayers dime, and yeah Terrorist, that means politicians too. Am I to assume hitest isn't subjected to testing?

  12. Had some salmon salad for lunch today, it was decent.

    Grilled Italian Red Roasters for TheBrit last night, stuffed with cream cheese and garlic. The night before, we had pan fried bluegill filets, with a big green salad.

    Discovered a great way to freeze our catch. We vacuum pack, so I tried adding spices to the fish before freezing. WOW! Made a perfect infusion of flavor! Added Mrs, Dash's garlic and herb to this one.

    Too bad it was a late discovery, we have about 40 pounds put up from the summer...
