    I don't est much steak these days. Rather hav a good pork chop for the most part. If I am doing steak I can eat anything from medium down to almost mooing. As long as it's not tough/chewy and has lots of
    flavour.

    We eat both, probably not as many pork chops as steak tho. During hot weather, both will be grilled but will pull out the Foreman for doing chops in the winter.

    Spring and fall I might grill outside. The George gets year-around
    use. Especially in the summer when I let'd my grill without leaving
    the air conditioned kitche. Bv)=

    Our grills are just outside the kitchen door. We'd rather heat up the already hot outside than heat the kitchen. I'll usually do sides that
    can be done wither without cooking or cooked in the microwave.
    Sometimes we'll wrap potatoes in foil and put them on the grill also;
    they take a bit more time but go well with a steak.

    The George doesn't heat the kitchen much. And I've got an indoor 'lectric
    grill that gets dragged out once in a while.

    I want to try this at least once before my number is called.

    One of the German men in our church in Berlin (we had a very

    small gatherings that we attended. Steve will comment on how good it
    was, from time to time; it made that much of an impression on him.

    meat. ---

    Steve probably was like you until he tried the actuality. I learned to "try it5 before your ditch it" when I was turning six and had a Yuck!

    We were both brought up on steaks cooked to shoe leather so going to medium was a major step for us. A combination of the steak tartare and then reading about Michael eating it raw induced Steve to try it rare.
    I'd still rather have it somewhat more done.

    And "back in the day" beef tended to be leaner and thus chewier than is

    I will now eat turnips willingly, lima beans in something like
    Brunswick stew but still decline sweet potatoes, peanut butter, pumpkin pie, cocoanut--all things I was forced to eat (not try, it was "you

    I'll do turnips raw. Pelled, sliced, with a little salt. I can choke down cooked turnips if having to be polite. Otherwise I leave them in the dish.
    Lima beans/butter beans/etc. I like. My only food no-no is bologna.

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Garlic Butter Wagyu Beef
    Categories: Five, Beef, Herbs, Vegetables
    Yield: 1 steak

    1/2 lb American Wagyu Chuck Eye
    - Roll Steak; 1" thick
    Salt & ground black pepper
    1 tb Oil

    MMMMM----------------------GARLIC BUTTER-----------------------------
    1/2 tb Salted butter
    1 cl Garlic; minced
    1 tb Chopped parsley

    Pat the steak dry with paper towels, then season both
    sides with salt and ground black pepper. Set aside.

    Prepare the garlic butter by combining salted butter,
    minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a bowl. Mix well
    and refrigerate before using.

    Heat a cast-iron skillet on high heat until smoking hot,
    then add oil. Transfer the seasoned steak to the skillet
    and pan-sear one side (do not turn) for 2 minutes.
    Before flipping to the other side, sear the fatty edge
    of the steak until it is browned and aromatic.

    Then, turn the steak over and pan-sear the other side
    for 2 minutes. (Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes on
    each side, depending on the thickness of the steak.)
    Transfer the steak to a serving plate.

    Add a dollop of garlic butter on top of the steak and
    spread it out. Serve immediately.

    NOTES: Heat a cast-iron skillet until smoking before
    pan-searing to create the perfect color and seal all the
    flavors in the steak.

    Timing is everything. Cooking Wagyu usually takes less
    time compared to other kinds of steaks. Depending on the
    thickness of the steak, you will need to cook for 2 to 3
    minutes or less on each for medium-rare to have a rich
    and juicy steak.

    We grill year round. (G)

    Since I cook for just me most of the time firing up and outside grill
    - even a gas grill - is more work than I want. The George and/or the

    We're not due to go into the 90s until next Thursday, then it's supposed
    to be 90 that day, then back into the 80s. Don't think it even got out
    of the 60s the last couple of days but today (now) it's 71. We've had
    almost 3" of rain since Tuesday.

    Our state fair is in October so we'll probably be hearing soon what the
    new food items will be. They usually feature some kind of fried
    whatever; some might be worth trying but most aren't worth spending our

    Categories: Pork, Breads, Snacks
    Yield: 16 Servings

    1 lb Ham fat; with skin, in 16
    - squares
    1 qt Oil, tallow or lard

    MMMMM---------------------------BATTER--------------------------------
    2 1/2 c Sifted flour
    2 c Cold water
    +=OR=+
    2 c Club soda
    Egg yolks
    pn Salt

    Cut the ham fat into 16 equal, squarish pieces. Set
    aside.

    Put oil/tallow/lard into a deep fryer or a fondue pot
    to heat. While the cooking oil is heating to 360ºF/180ºC
    ......

    Make the batter. I prefer to use club soda as it gives a
    lighter (and I think) crispier batter. You may use plain
    old cold water if you wish. A couple (or three) egg
    yolks help hold things together and blend in.

    When the oil is hot, dip the chunks of fat into the
    batter and fry in the hot oil until golden brown.

    Serve hot.

    If you have batter left over you may want to fry up some
    batter-dipped crudities (cauliflower or broccoli florets,
    onion rings, or bell pepper strips/rings) as an
    accompaniment.

    Serve with your favourite hot-pepper sauce on the side.

    last year Steve worked the RARS (Raleigh Amateur Radio Society) booth a couple of days but didn't buy any food, deep fried or otherwise.

    The last time I actually attended a fair was in the 90s when out local
    county fair (which offers free grandstand shows in the evening) had Three
    Dog Night on the bill. It was worth the hassle and I enjoyed myself very
    much. Unlike my boss who attended with me and kept complaining that the
    live performance sounded different from the records they had made.

    The fairground is used for many other things beyond the annual
    wretched mess. The Illinois Department of Agriculture is headquartered there. As is the State Police radio lab and some Dept. of Conservation functions. And the buildings/exhibit halls areused forswap meets,
    etc. Not to
    mention the mile dirt track - said to be the best in America which is
    used for horse, motorcycle, and car racing.

    We've gone for RV shows, Raleigh Hamvention (Steve, not me) and a home improvement show but not the fair. A couple of years ago they flooded
    the nearby football stadium and had a hockey game on the ice but we
    didn't go to that.

    A lot of the county fairs around here use chilli cookoffs and demolition derbies as their extra-curricular activities.

    At the camp, it was always the U in the circle. This was decades ago so

    up with the designation/description.

    Title: Yaaaaahhhh Hooooooo Aaaaahhhh Hot Sauce
    Categories: Five, Sauces, Chilies, Garlic
    Yield: 1 Quart

    1 qt Mason jar
    1 tb Salt; plain, non-iodized
    1 pt Chilies; dried Serrano,
    - Cayenne, Tabasco, etc.
    1 pt Garlic cloves; peeled
    Distilled white vinegar

    Fill the Mason jar with the dried chilies and peeled
    garlic. Dissolve the tablespoon of salt in a cup of
    white vinegar and pour over the chilies and garlic.
    Top up the jar with more vinegar and put the jar in
    a low traffic area to let the chilies rehydrate for
    a day or a few weeks. Add vinegar as needed to keep
    the jar full.

    When the chilies are rehydrated empty the contents of
    the jar into a blender or food processor and puree.
    Add vinegar (or water) to get to your desired
    thickness. I like mine to be fairly thick (like catsup
    with an attitude) instead of runny like Tabasco. As
    there is plenty of vegetable pulp in this mix, thick
    is easy.

    You can decant into smaller bottles or keep in the
    quart jug.

    I have kept some in the ice box for as long as five
    weeks with no ill effects. I can't seem to get it to
    last any longer than that. Apparently the longer it
    sits in the ice box the more of it disappears.

    This is a moderately successful attempt to make my own
    "Huy Fong Sriracha Sauce". It's more garlicky than Huy
    Fong and moderately spicy and goes well on almost
    anything. Which, I suspect is why I have never had a
    batch last more than five weeks.

    That was quite the set up! Our black and white set had belonged to my grandparents. When my grandmother (g'father had passed away) got a color
    set, the b&w set came home with us. It wasn't as an involved set up as
    you had.

    I do remember, on school breaks, watching "The Galloping Gourmet" on the
    b&w set. Us kids always got a giggle out of his starting most recipies
    with "first you take a short slurp". He brought down the house and a
    quick cut to a commercial by starting one recipe with "first you take a leek.............".

    channels - DD> one from an Illinois pioneering Station and three
    from St. Louis. The DD> networks were CBS (St. Louis & Champaign), NBC
    (St. Louis), and Dumont DD> (St. Louis). All VHF band. UHF stations
    didn't begin to appear until DD> '52.

    Our first station was out of Albany, 2nd out of Binghamton. NBC and CBS
    so we could first watch "The Addams Family", then turn over to "The Munsters"Thrusday nights before bedtime.

    All B&W - no colour untilthe late 1950s.

    That's basically how I do it, unless I know it's one I can do changes
    on. Of course one automatic change is whole wheat flour (either
    "regular" or pastry) for the white flour.

    I just remember the Mickey Mouse Club from when I was just a school
    boy and was ga-ga over Doreen rather than Annette. Bv)=

    I saw it in mid 60s reruns, didn't get our first tv until fall of '62
    and only one channel. Some years later, my dad tweaked the line in and
    we got two channels. Went to college and came home on Easter break freshman year to find my folks had tied into the cable that brought a
    lot of stations from NYC, and one local. Plus, they upgraded to a color
    tv set.

    Changes to television viewing came thick and fast in the 50s. My friend
    John's house got a first version colour TV that used a "whirling disk"
    for the colour.

    It was, to me, pretty "monkey motion". By that time (1956) we had moved to
    the state capitol and had a 21" B&W TV. Cable was not yet a thing so we
    also had a 50' tower with a huge antenna and rotator. It pulled in stuff
    from 90 - 100 miles away.

    Our 1st boob tube had a 4" picture tube that projected onto a mirror
    which reflected the programming onto the viewing screen. And the room
    had to be darkened to see the programs. That was in 1950. We got four

    That was quite the set up! Our black and white set had belonged to my grandparents. When my grandmother (g'father had passed away) got a
    color set, the b&w set came home with us. It wasn't as an involved set
    up as you had.

    My dad got rid of the "projector" set in '54 when we moved to Springfield.
    It's tuner covered buth VHF and UHF bands so we didn't have to mess with
    a converter box. After I joined the Navy in '59 a "Community Antenna"
    became available - a forerunner of cable TV. We could get all of the St.
    Louis channels and some of the Chicago stations with a strong signal.

    I do remember, on school breaks, watching "The Galloping Gourmet" on
    the b&w set. Us kids always got a giggle out of his starting most
    recipies with "first you take a short slurp". He brought down the house and a quick cut to a commercial by starting one recipe with "first you take a leek.............".

    Chirrun nearly always see the risque

    channels - one from an Illinois pioneering Station and three
    from St. Louis. The DD> networks were CBS (St. Louis & Champaign), NBC (St. Louis), and Dumont DD> (St. Louis). All VHF band. UHF stations
    didn't begin to appear until DD> '52.

    Our first station was out of Albany, 2nd out of Binghamton. NBC and CBS
    so we could first watch "The Addams Family", then turn over to "The Munsters"Thrusday nights before bedtime.

    I preferred "Car 54" from that time period.

    All B&W - no colour untilthe late 1950s.

    Just as a note - you can use regular table salt when making this.But
    the iodine will give the garlic a bluish/purplish tine. Won't affect
    the flavour ...but it can make things look weird before it'sall
    blended together. I've begun using Kosher salt (with the thumbprint)
    to avoid the bruised appearance of the garlic. Remember to adjust
    the quantity betwwen table and Kosher salts.

    I don't use iodised salt; generally sea salt is on the pantry shelf.

    I'm cheap (frugal) and buy whatever is the least expensive down the market.
    Sea salt, pink salt, etc are all premium priced around here.

    Hi Dave,

    and only one channel. Some years later, my dad tweaked the line in and
    we got two channels. Went to college and came home on Easter break freshman year to find my folks had tied into the cable that brought a
    lot of stations from NYC, and one local. Plus, they upgraded to a color
    tv set.

    Changes to television viewing came thick and fast in the 50s. My
    friend John's house got a first version colour TV that used a
    "whirling disk" for the colour.

    That must have made for some interesting looking people landscapes, etc.
    (G)

    It was, to me, pretty "monkey motion". By that time (1956) we had
    moved to the state capitol and had a 21" B&W TV. Cable was not yet a
    thing so we also had a 50' tower with a huge antenna and rotator. It pulled in stuff from 90 - 100 miles away.

    Dad ran a wire, with their OK, from I guess, an antenna wire, that
    neighbors had run to get tv. We lived (barely) within village limits but outside of town, proper (population of only about 800) and about 75
    miles from Albany, same (as the crow flies, more to actually drive) from Binghamton. Had the tv in time to see some of the Mercury space program
    and the JFK assasination & week end coverage. We'd just gotten home from
    church and Dad put the tv on again in time to see Jack Ruby shoot
    Oswald.

    Our 1st boob tube had a 4" picture tube that projected onto a
    mirror DD> which reflected the programming onto the viewing screen. And
    the room DD> had to be darkened to see the programs. That was in 1950.

    That was quite the set up! Our black and white set had belonged to my grandparents. When my grandmother (g'father had passed away) got a
    color set, the b&w set came home with us. It wasn't as an involved set

    became available - a forerunner of cable TV. We could get all of the
    St. Louis channels and some of the Chicago stations with a strong
    signal.

    I've no idea what sort of set up my grandparents had but they got a lot
    more channels than we did. They lived in a NJ suburb of NYC so were able
    to get tv much easier than our rural area.

    I do remember, on school breaks, watching "The Galloping Gourmet"
    on RH> the b&w set. Us kids always got a giggle out of his starting
    most RH> recipies with "first you take a short slurp". He brought down

    with "first you RH> take a leek.............".

    This was a case of the camera crew and the whole studio audience
    cracking up, and him too, as he realised what he'd said.

    IIRC, that came on later, after we were in bed.

    I looked into my cabinet, the sea salt we have is iodised. Salt we grind ourselves isn't. TBH, I don't compare prices; I just get what I know we
    prefer.

    Sounds like the steaks my parents liked.
