Chris, you're NOT busting "huevos."

Let's get down to business!

"Like in Maintenance, lets start a Thread here about recipes, kitchen techniques are parents/mothers taught us, recipes, gardening.
Many guys here I am sure cook a bit and BBG, and the females here and the wifes of the old cogers here have a lot to contribute.
So to you JPG you have a input to the Adim, set it up like in Maintenance, I dont have the knowledge/computer skills to do it.
Also, we have some youngsters here, and they will learn and contribute too. " From ER Lover."

Lover, cooking? Really? Didn't know!

OK, the "grill."

Get a 55 gallon drum.

Turn it into a 55 gallon smoker.

Look up an UDS smoker, for instructions.

I'll post instructions, later.

The way I was raised was the men were in the fields all day and the women did the house work and cooked. I am 66 yr old and I never learned how to cook, and I do not do any house work. I married a good woman that is OK with that, and she was not raised on a farm like me. I tend to the outside and she takes care of the inside.

Since discovering 3M carpet tape at Walmart, I haven't been using a glue gun. But then, I don't turn, either.

My wife Phyllis, makes the best lemon pie from scratch. She's making one for my birthday on 4/3. She asked me what I wanted and I asked for grilled cheese burgers, her fabulous potato salad and that Lemon pie. She also makes a killer chocolate pie. She uses Ghirradelli's (sp?) baking chocolate. But, the lemon is my favorite. Having a small slice of each on one plate is pure heaven, though.

Speaking of lemons, I found out that lemon juice will remove blood stains from white oak. I also found out that the edges of planed and jointed white oak are SHARP.
And, Rubbing alcohol will take off pencil marks where my erasers won't.

Usually, you'll find that lost or misplaced item in the last place you look. :D But if that fails, go buy another one and the lost one magically appears. :confused:

Browsing in non-woodworking stores is often fruitful. I mentioned above the carpet tape in Walmart. It's holding power is actually pretty phenomenal. Walmart's plastic cutting boards are also quite useful in the shop. They can be sawn and planed easily and are good for jig surfaces and ZCIs as well as many other uses around the shop.
Yesterday, while browsing in a mom and pop art supply store, I found a 12" centering ruler for $3.50. Not bad, huh? (will replace one that I lost. Now, surely I'll find the other one real soon) They sell print making blocks and inks and, a screw press for making impressions with larger blocks. That press would be great as a small (16X16) veneer press. It was around $80 IIRC.

I believe if you research it you will find out the "woodworking worm hole" will spit out any item that falls in and then you replace it. The worm hole will usually take any dropped items to another guys shop where that guy will find it and scratch his head and say where did that come from. However if the person that lost the item goes out and buys another, the worm hole spits out the original. And the guy the found the thing on his floor will scratch his head and say where that thing go that I just found. It is all the worm holes fault! :D

Now that we have stone crushing out of our system, I think ER's idea is a good one. I don't think we need a special section, just a post in community, possibly made into a sticky. I for one love to experiment in the kitchen. Tonight's special- meatloaf, and it will be da*m good!

Well, the 10ER apparently made one great ice cream churn since they advertised it as such. :) I made a Ricotta, Amerato, Orange pound cake today. The home made vanilla ice cream is churning as I type this. It is made with real whipping cream, two eggs and three yokes and a real vanilla bean. I have been making this ice cream for a long time. I can't remember the last time store bought ice cream was in this house.

We got an ice cream maker this August for our anniversary. Still in the box. :mad: Have to work on that!

There comes a day when one of you will have to learn the other. Might be wise to learn before you need to... ;) Just sayin
