re: Legit backbone stew recipe?
Posted by Tiger4Life on 3/10/25 at 7:44 pm
I wanted to try the Cajun Power pork and beef stew mix so I made a big pot recently. In a big black pot, brown very well 2 packs of pork backbone and a small Boston Butt cut up into chunks seasoned with Cajun seasoning. Set aside and cook down the trinity, scraping the bottom of the pot to get the gradoux into your gravy. Add the large jar of Cajun Power and enough water to nearly cover. Add a good amount of roux to thicken and bring to a boil. Simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours and serve over rice. It came out very good and you could cut the pork with a plastic fork it was so tender.

Where do you live? You can buy them fresh off the boats docked in Delcambre during shrimp season.

On one of the fastballs that whizzed over a batter’s head he said, “That’ll put a crease in your Stetson.” :lol:

Lyn is also in the camp of those that pronounce Alex Box as it’s spelled instead of Alec Box. Story goes that Alex’s relatives called him Alec or Elec most of the time. This is ironic since Lyn is from CenLa where people call Alexandria “Elec”.

Burn seasoned wood and oxygen is your friend to get a clean fire. Don’t choke your fire where you have a thick white smoke. It could make the meat taste bitter if cooked with too much thick smoke. Experiment with dampers on the firebox and chimney exhaust to get a clean burn with thin blue smoke out the chimney. Enjoy the process and don’t get frustrated if your first few cooks aren’t perfect. Have fun!

The Orcas wearing the flat billed salmon hats are the worst.

Use a Rubbermaid Brilliance food storage container with 69% Boveda humidity control packs. Inexpensive humidor that works great. Boveda makes a cedar holder for the Boveda packs which just gives the box a little cedar scent when you open the lid.

Not an ingredient in the gumbo, but I always have to have homemade file’ powder over the rice before the gumbo is poured. We have access to a sassafras tree and we make a big batch of file’ from the leaves every couple of years.
re: Hogan irons
Posted by Tiger4Life on 10/4/24 at 5:27 pm
I also played Hogan Apex irons years ago and decided to get a full set of 4-PW PTX Pro irons in black finish right before they went out of business a couple years ago. The online custom fitting process was easy and fit my needs at the time. The clubs are solid and built with more standard lofts that I was used to. I also got a 3 hybrid which I like. It was good to see them back in business.

re: Starlink for typical household service. Anybody use it?
Posted by Tiger4Life on 9/21/24 at 2:30 pm
It depends where her RV is parked. Starlink does need a view of the northern sky and obstructions like trees, buildings etc will affect performance. You can use the Starlink app to move the antenna to a spot with the least amount of obstructions.

LSU AgCenter Fact Sheet - Spaghetti Worms
The spaghetti worms we see in these fish are really parasitic tapeworms of sharks, who are just using the trout or drum as an intermediate host. The cycle begins with eggs produced by an eight-inch long adult worm which lives in a shark's intestine. After being passed into seawater, the egg hatches into a tiny swimming larva called a coracidium. If this larva is eaten within two days by a small marine crustacean like a copepod, it develops into another stage called a procercoid.
At this stage some uncertainty exists as to what happens. The copepod may be eaten by a trout, passing the larval worm on the trout. However, since small animals like copepods are seldom eaten by larger trout and since very few trout under ten inches long have spaghetti worms, another host is suspected. More than likely, a small bait fish like an anchovy eats the copepod and it in turn is eaten by the larger trout. In any case, once the larval worm is in the trout's digestive tract, it tunnels its way into the trout's flesh where it may live for several years. The life cycle is completed when a shark eats the trout and serves as host for the adult worm.
