My experience tells me cantaloupes tend to be much sweeter more consistently. I recently had a seedless melon that had the flavor of some of those rice cakes that resemble Styrofoam packing material in shipped goods. It was cold and that is about the best I can say about it. ...

[quote]You don’t have to be a good swimmer.[/quote] You know that, and I know that, but there are far more people who will panic in that situation and drown simply due to ignorance about how to deal with rip tides....
While "Saving Private Ryan" definitely had some of the most realistic portrayal of what it had to be like to make a beach landing ever filmed for a movie, my thoughts went out to the guys who did it for real. Not just at Normandy but every amphibious landing in the entire war theater during ...

I've known 3 people to drown due to rip tides, 2 in Florida and one in Grand Isle. Former co-worker of mine, mid 50's, drowned in Grand Isle while surf fishing. He wasn't a great swimmer and was kind of a small guy who they think got caught up in a rip tide while surf fishing. Last anyo...
[quote]Thanks, I will definitely give this a try.[/quote] Maybe try a 5 lb. batch the first time to see how it comes out to fit your tastes. Just cut the seasonings in half to do that. Then, if you don't care for the end result you can adjust the seasonings by adding something you'd think wo...

When I was in my 50's a younger, 35 yr. old guy, was telling me how great it was to have his two young daughters and how they looked at him and his wife like they were idolized. I told him to enjoy it now because there will come a time when he and his wife will be demonized by these very same gi...

Did they go back with Joval steel pipe for the runs or did they use that accordion like flex duct? Air flows much better through smooth steel round pipe than that wavy flex duct. Steel round pipe can be hung in nice straight runs from the supply plenum to the grill box. Flex duct tends to be ...

Not smoking today, but am grilling some pork tenderloin kebabs. I cut up the tenderloin and marinated it overnight and just got done putting the good on the skewers to go on the grill around 5:30 today. Pork, yellow and zucchini squash, onions, red/yellow/orange/green bell peppers and mushroom...
