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.

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.

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

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.

Well, I see the kid jumped into water over his head.  Whistling [:-^]

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. Whistling [:-^]  Beef is steak, roast, burgers, cubed steak [country style steak] and beef tips. Dinner [dinner]

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

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.

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!

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...

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

Jim,
It's not intended to be a spicy hot sauce, but it ages very well! Wink [;)]  You could add some red pepper for a bit of a touch, but seeing it is a family recipe I tend not to mess with it.

Now red sauce... look out... Or chilli... Dinner [dinner]

Rich, No offence intended, but I have quite a few friends that have either lived there or still do and all they do is moan about the taxes.  Several have moved to DE in retirement.

These ole eyes are getting tired, trains are asleep wife is asleep, don't know how many cable channels there are but nothing on there worthwhile. So nobody take my almost ripe tomato while I am sleeping.

The BBQ sauce that I can't find and don't know how to make looks pinkish in color when mixed with shreded pork.The vinegar one does not sound like that would be it. I wish I could find  what it is.
