They also gave us the head. Didn't ask for it and I'm not sure if I'll actually use it, but Serious Eats has a recipe for it.
So I have a trip planned to Big Bend/Terlingua/Marfa for the first week of November with my brother and parents. Coincidentally the Terlingua chili cook-off is taking place that week. Pretty lucky accident. Taques
a.tramp you should sign up to judge. https://www.casichili.net/2021-judges-needed.html I’m tempted to sign up.
I am only going to be there for the last 2 days of the event and a couple days following. Already have some hiking stuff planned. Who knows though. It might make me catch Terlingua fever and lead to doing that in the future.
Yea I was going to, but the place I bought that grill didn't have any in stock and I went online to order them. I wasn't waiting for them to come in before using it, so I just have never cleaned the bucket out more than dumping it, so I never put one in
I know it’s sacrilege to tinker with billdozer sauce but I have been. I’ve take a shine to some slight additions to it. add juice from a quarter of a small to medium size orange add a half table spoon of honey use dark brown sugar vs white sugar zest a quarter of an orange red pepper flake until there’s a touch of heat
I bought a spatchcocked chicken at Trader Joe’s planning to cook it in the oven one night this week and just never got to it. So, I’m cooking it and another on the smoker this afternoon. I just opened the bag, and this thing is the most comically small chicken I’ve ever seen.
I guess it could happen that fast, but I've got about 20 gallons sitting in buckets and another 25 gallons or so sitting on hives.
I was joking about “milking” individual bees but now I’m curious is there an actual term for collecting the honey?
Extracting. The frames are capped with wax. You skim those off and put the frames in a centrifuge that slings the honey out to collect in the bottom where you can drain it out.
I do. Since I started keeping bees we've sold 120 gallons worth. We use a lot ourselves too. When you have so much, we can be pretty liberal in using it in place of sugar.
Call it wildflower, mostly a mix of blackberry and tulip poplar. Some sourwood mixed in. I usually take hives up to the mountains to get pure sourwood, but didn't get to it this year.
Cool. I want to have a hive but my wife has blocked me every time I’ve tried to do it. I try to buy different types of honey when I can, tupelo and orange blossom are always in my pantry. I have a gigantic tulip poplar tree in my back yard.
We live on 17 acres. Just on my land I have 100 yds of blackberries, about 50 tulip poplars, and 5-6 sourwoods. Surrounded by similar, plus miles of dutch clover.
I can do that. A few guys from here have gotten some. The most economical is getting 3 pints since they can fit in a regional rate box. Pints would be $10 each and shipping ends up being ~$9.
People keep bees in NY or they had bees that burned on top of Notre Dame. The bees will fly over 3 miles away to find forage.
Yeah, I’ve done a bunch of research on residential beekeeping (our lot is .4 acre). I’ve always been intrigued since visiting farms my family worked at that had hives growing up.
Went to Costco this morning for the essentials. That and a dozen Roses is literally all i got Cooked a steak and made a whiskey drink
