88 - do you have to add red pepper or something for heat or is the black pepper enough?

Vinegar Based Bar-B-Q sauce?

1 egg beaten (I use a wisk)
1 cup Vegetable Oil (wisk with egg till well blended)
2 cups Red Cider Vinegar (wisk with egg and oil till well blended)
2 Tblspn Poultry Seasoning
1 Tblspn Black Pepper
1 tspn Salt

This is great on Chicken, Turkey, Ham, and Pork Chops...

It is a combination of the PSU and Cornell University Bar-B-Q sauces.  My Great Uncle used to be a chicken farmer and he used to travel the Eastern US doing Bar-B-Qs for large groups.  I like to marinate the chicken over night in the fridge, then baste it after each turn.  Careful though because you will get flare-ups...

I grew up eating fried mush for breakfast.  This is basically grits boiled up into a thick porridge (sp?) then set up in bread pan in the fridge.  My Nana used to slice it and fry it up.  Great with some butter and Maple Syrup!

Hope Doug Murphy has good news for us soon!

[Sturgeon-Phish]

Maybe due to being raised by my Grandma, who was from around Vanceburg Ky, and growing up eating more cornbread than white bread, I like grits, as porriage, or fried as patties, or as strechers for the beans and potatoes.  Lots of suppers was grits fried in bacon grease with beans.

Lisa-Glad hubby doing better

Doug-Take it easy with the eyes.

Thanks Chief!  I have a rub for the brisket.  All other beef gets cut-up after the animal walks over the coals.

Besides road patch "GRITS" did make that fish look a lot bigger. So they are good for something.

Well, I see the kid jumped into water over his head. 

Vinegar based bar-be-que sause.  They only one there is.  All others are not bar-be-que.  Vinegar, crushed red pepper, butter, catsup, black pepper [the amount used will determine the heat more so than red pepper, black pepper sticks to the meat], maple syrup or molasses, garlic salt and salt.  Now my vinegar has had tobascco peppers soaking for some time.  Bring to boil.  Can be thinned with water.  Want it brown, add some Kraft or other per done sause.  Slop it on.  Chickens, salt the skin side and cook meat side down.  Salt will crisp the skin.  Mop when turned.  If I'm doing lots of chickens, then I fix a big pot of this sause and put chickens in with lid on [sause hot but burner off].  Steams it into the meat.  Pork, I just soak the meat after chopping.  Beef, I throw away.   Beef is steak, roast, burgers, cubed steak [country style steak] and beef tips.

Well, I have to admit, Chief, that sounds good. Gosh, that was hard to admit.

I knew it......Yes, Chief got to the CTT Staff and has got them hooked on Grits. What is this Yankee world coming to  ???

Buckeye.....We need to call an emergency meeting of the OTTS Security Counsel. It's a good thing Grits are banned in the Beautiful State of Ohio.

[magicman710]

  Grayson, you want to dicuss something else, go for it.  We'll try to jump in.  The Grits, Sweet Ice Tea and South/Yankee thing is a joke that has been going back and forth since before you could type.  Word of advice from an old guy.  Learn to swim before you jump in over your head.  Learn to walk before you try to run.

Chief, its a joke? Well, I do love grits and sweet tea (not sweet ice tea guess its a NORTH Carolina thing )  Well, if yall see the thread Grayson's Caboose, be sure to drop in.

 

Thanks,

Grayson

I just go back from shopping wit the chitlins...Bought 'The Golden Age of Steam'  by Railway Productions; anyone heard of it???  It must be pretty good...I had to shell out $15+ for 4-DVD's.  It has Steam in each of the 4-seasons.

Sorry I didn't read earlier Laz...That would have been one worth trying to explain.  Keep me posted if you see a UP set deal.

Not to get off the subject of Grits; I'm sure it'll return, but can anyone recommend a vinegar based BBQ sauce?  Thought I'd ask with all those in the Carolinas.  I had some really good sauce at Dreamland BBQ in Alabama, but the jar sauce isn't the same as at the restaurant.  It's haurd to get good BBQ upin da nawth.

Thanks,

Kurt

Hello All!    Fife- You certainly are a Daredevil for eating G-R-I-T-S ! I also think that the Chief has been a bad influence on Bob K at CTT Now Bob is addicted to them & will not go to any restaurants that do not serve Grits! Don B- I always wondered how your Track stayed so clean. Be careful with the Grits though. If they clean track that well, then imagine what they must do to one's Stomach! Take Care all.

What do you mean it's a joke???????????? 

[Sturgeon-Phish]

Just went to the link Laz posted for the Polar Express and they were sold out!  Thanks again Laz

[ChiefEagles]

Well, I stopped eating meals at the York Holidome when they dropped Grits from the menu ...

See what wonderful staff CTT has and the Editor for Trains is originally from NC.  Kalmbach, the great company.

[anjdevil2]

No Bob, say it ain't so!!!  Not you too!!???  What is this world coming to??

Every receipe I've seen for Grits involves water and a trowl.......makes you wonder......

ps - yes Chief, I'm just learning to walk......

[ChiefEagles]

Afternoon.  Working at the pond.  Look like I feel in.  Now to do some rolling of paint on the soundboard.  Got to get ready to ride to Raleigh to attend Mended Hearts.  Usually leave here at around 6PM.  Need to go as I go by the Dunkin Donuts and I get bags of their coffee [unground].  I'm about out.  Grayson, you want to dicuss something else, go for it.  We'll try to jump in.  The Grits, Sweet Ice Tea and South/Yankee thing is a joke that has been going back and forth since before you could type.  Word of advice from an old guy.  Learn to swim before you jump in over your head.  Learn to walk before you try to run.

fifedog, when you are out at the West End, head to Paw Paw Tunnel.  It is dark and cool inside.

Lisa, we have a problem in electing the Chief to be mayor of Roseyville.  It didn't even make the list of 100 best places to live.  Click here to see the list.  We now have our work cut out for us. 

Needless to say, my beloved Roger's Corners, Ohio, made the list.  The guys and gals who have been here will understand.

[dbaker48]

<>OK, OK, I'll confess.  I posted pictures of the N&W J Series on SPF.  Couple of people asked how do you get it to smoke so much?                    So Heres the answer......  GRITS !!!          Just put some uncooked grits down the ole chimney/smokestack   then saturate with smoke fluid.    Works everytime.  I also use them for cleaning the track......  Take a old sock fill it with  GRITS, Then just move about the track.  You can drag it behind the train if you want.  That really works well with engines that have pilot trucks on them.     I'm currently working on a GRIT mountain paste alternative too.<>
 

[fifedog]

1688torpedo - I held it to the equivalent of eating the worm at the bottom of the tequila bottle.  Had to show my loved ones how daring I was.

Y'all be good now.  Headin' out to the West End (Cumberland-Keyser-Altamont-TerraAlta).  Back on Thursday!

[magicman710]

Couldent we talk about something more than grits? Thats all I ever hear when I come on here. I think I might create my own version of the "Coffee Pot" on this forum. Probably will get a couple of views and replies and go dead.

Well its worth a try! I think I will call it....  Grayson's Caboose

Hello All!    Oh No!   Fife had some Grits. He went over to the Dark side. Time for Dr.Phil to intervene Chief- If Grits can be used to refine Gasoline & to drop prices & our dependence on foreign sources, Then maybe you would make an excellent president. Probably better than a certain female who is now campaining! Take care all.

[ChiefEagles]

Talked to Doug M.  Bored and waiting for 11AM tomorrow DR's apt.  Hope we will see him posting tomorrow PM.  Doing great.

Then talked to the NEw England Mouth [Apitz].  Been train shopping around the area.  Sunny and enjoying the vacation.  Bet he hits the libarary this PM as told him folks here were probably tlking about him.  That he can not stand.   I know how to pull his chain.

Later.
