Members MarlinDave Posted June 3, 2022 Members Report Posted June 3, 2022 When the lockdowns started I bought enough plain rice and enough dried beans to fill a 5 gallon bucket each. Used up most of the beans, that rice won’t get soft if you boil it all day. Quote

Members billybopp Posted June 5, 2022 Members Report Posted June 5, 2022 I love brats! Here's another way I like 'em: Rinse a jar/bag of sauerkraut Put half of the kraut in the bottom of a baking dish Layer brats on top Pour over a can of baked beans Put the remainder of the kraut on top Put in the oven at 325ish until the kraut on top starts to brown and brats are cooked The kraut on bottom just about turns to candy, and kraut on top is browned and crundhy. Delicious!! - Bill Quote

I start with a basic roux then milk, cheddar cheese, this time i used sweet Italian sausage, a taste of garlic, large size macaroni's, Topped with panko bread and parmesan cheese and baked golden brown. I even liked it. Once long long long ago i had this job that only paid monthly, well one time after getting my check i went to partying some at the local pub. Next day i only had enough for rent lol. Ate very cheap boxed mac and cheese and fried egg sandwichs for a month straight. I still like a good fried egg sandwich but boxed mac n cheese just doesn't sound good anymore lol.

Like I put a lil' tiny bit of ground cloves ( or all spice) in apple sauce when I do a pork roast . Cloves are quite pungent. A similar roux is used for chocolate eclairs, something I have yet to master. My absolute fave sweet pastry/ guilty pleasure . Has been since I was a wee lad Funny how some things remain . On rare occasions, they might have tractor parades at a few shows. But I think this damn covid has put a dampener on a lot of events here. We're only just starting to get back to "normal" here in West Oz . I'm booked in for a few regional shows later this year, can't wait actually.

Speaking of sweets yesterday my wife picked our rhubarb and made an awesome sauce to go over ice cream, it is definitely spring here now. My little town is on Interstate 80 which is one of the main roads across our nation. So we get many different car clubs ,cross country races, and the liek coming thru, i have seen everything from Miss budweiser racing boat to a reenactment of the first motorized military trip across the nation in vehicles. Also many private planes stop here for fuel on thier way to air shows, all the bikers going to sturgis etc. We have an annual tractor get together just south of here, they go over the continental divide through the mountains check out this link my family settled in this area of the world. https://www.facebook.com/Littlesnakerivermuseum/posts/3272071576351243 Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on.

Members Handstitched Posted June 27, 2022 Members Report Posted June 27, 2022 @chuck123wapati I was offered an old 'Fordson' Major P6 ' yesterday for just a few hundred bucks . The P6's are the 6 cyl. version of mine with a Perkins diesel engine. As tempting as it was, I don't know too much about old diesels, plus its hard to find time to play with the ones I already have . Perhaps if it was a 4cyl. I would have taken it, parts are always handy to have.I also have 3 old 1960's LWB Landrovers I'd love to play with. I need a full week ..or more, away from the workshop and markets to do all the things I wanna do and to play with. But when orders keep coming in, its difficult. No rest for the wicked eh? I can make everything else, except time. Its curry night tonight Might try a nice slow cooked curry, a beef rendang in a week or so using brisket. Rendang is a Malay curry, I think.
