Thanks for that Shelby! I have passed it on.

Thanks for the idea. I will pass it on. Shelby, she doesn’t know. She put them in a salt brine with splash of pale cider vinegar and she said that help. I linked your blogg to her so she will have some ideas as well as the above. Thanks

Hi Shelby, I have a friend who was gifted some ducks from this morning’s hunt. She wants to know how to get rid of any game taste there might be. Do you have any suggestions. Thanks.

We have an invitation to friends who are good cooks. The turkey is apparently being brined, then rubbed with seasoning, then wrapped bacon, then smoked and something about the bacon coming off so the skin can crisper. All I have to do is make a green salad and select some wine to take. Can’t wait.

Found the recipe here: https://www.delawareonline.com/story/life/food/2014/09/04/dinner-fancy-french-crab-cakes/15088255/ looks delicious Edited just now...sorry folks just saw the post above with the recipe used.

Ok, how the heck do you eat those little guys?

New episodes available now. Love the pizza episode.

I dehydrate onions to make onion powder for rubs and marinades. An onion powder that actually smells and tastes like onion. The commercial stuff went in the bin.

Very occasionally our Superstore has fresh green peppercorns. That's crazy because Penticton is only 30,000 people and quite WASP'y. The are fresh when green. If dark green/brown they are not fresh. They offer a unique taste as do many Thai herbs...Thai Basil/lime leaves come to mind.

One must select the correct type of wrap. Had one this am with tea from loose tea, not bags. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-mcgill-study-finds-some-premium-tea-bags-leach-billions-of-2/

Easy clean up too, I might add.

Oh yes, works a treat but don't forget to oil the plastic. I just made a bunch of regular poached eggs for company last weekend and I thought there was a lot of waste of the white which detached from the main egg. Shoulda used this method.

I was reminded the other day of the egg-in-plastic-wrap-poach method.

@JoNorvelleWalker. A great big thank you, How on earth did you find that link! You saved me burning my finger testing to see if the middle element was dead or not.😯

I think my oven is not functioning at full capacity. The middle top element doesn’t turn on anymore not matter what the setting 😩 It still cooks ok...I have no idea how long it’s been like that. Anyone else have this problem?
