Outdoor Gas Grills and Reviews

I’ve been home canning for several years, and I am still always on the lookout for tools and techniques to make my canning season easier and less tedious.

Chief Crazy Captain Christo appeared after The Ra vens had left town, and cornered Vikings Coach Brad Childress. With a wild eyed southern drawl, C.C.C.Christo spoke his peace and these were the exact words spoken

C.C.C.Christo-” Coach B. Child- Bring Me The Mullet!”

C.B.Child replied, ” After the games, you have to have a press pass to talk to our players. So if you’ll excuse me, I have to go address the press.”

With a loud roar as if you were on Safari in Omaha Nebraska, Chief Crazy Captain Christo snorted,

” Nonsense! You bring The Mullet to me! Tell him Munko Christo is waiting no more. He must hear the STORY!”

Coach Brad Childress stormed off into the locker room and within sixty nine seconds, The Mullet appreared. He stood before Chief Crazy Captain Christo ( Author’s note: although he is Chief Crazy Captain Christo, he is disguised as Munko Christo!) Jared Allen looked pissed. He stared and glared at Munko Christo until Munko Christo raised a Raven’s Claw.

J.All- ” Yeah, who the hell are you and what do you want?”

Mu. Ch-” I am Munko Christo and I would like to share an orange with you. Please watch carefully.

Hold out your hand Jared.”

Before Jared could blink an eye, the orange was sliced into four perfect quarters, with each quarter resembling the shape of a football. Just then, the Vikings three quarterbacks showed up as if by a simple twist of fate. Number 2, Number 4 and Number 7. They all faced Munko Christo and asked Jared if he needed any help.

J.All- ” Nope, this guy is just sharing an Orange with me”

Number 4 spoke up- ” Hey Jared, get this guy outta here, I’d like to have a word with you about today’s game.”

Mu.Ch.-” The Mullet and I would like to ask you ,Number 4, to play along here. Ok as you can see there are four perfect slices of orange here. Each one of you guys take a slice and put it in your mouth like a mouth guard.”

Each of the players did so, except when Number 4 reached for his slice, Munko Christo swiftly reached out and duct taped Number 4′s mouth with silver tape. The tape had a slit in it for the orange slice to fit. The picture was perfect. All four players had a perfect quarter slice of orange in their mouth, and they all agreed that it tasted great! It was only after Munko Christo had left the scene, did the players notice that Number Four had silver around his mouth piece. They all shared a good laugh and agreed that Munko Christo must be on to something big. But what was he trying to teach the players with just an orange.

Out of the blue, the four players who had just been visited by Munko Christo shouted in unison,

” Hey Munko Christo, what were you trying to teach us with the Orange?”

Floating on the wind came back the reply,

” The Orange grows twenty four seven. Until you each tasted a perfect quarter from one orange you didn’t believe the taste of victory could be so sweet. Now you know. And hey Jared Allen! Take the tape off the Silver Fox and what do you get? I’ll give you a hint. I changed the words from a song called Silvio by a Minnesotan. It goes like this: …..” Silvio, Purple and Gold won’t buy back the beat of a heart grown cold. Super Bowl I gotta go Down to Miami where The Mullet grows ( Legendary!)

All of a sudden a note appeared in Jared Allen’s hand. It read,” I found the perfect place for you and your teammates if you wish to help out. The Great Pumpkin is branching out to help Childhood diabetes with Horse rides for children of all ages . Please contact the author of this installment of The Great Pumpkin Letter. Way to go Jared! Together we can make a difference!.

Jared knew it was from Munko Christo and agreed that as crazy as he may be, his heart is in the right place. Help on The Way! What say you Jared?

Besides being stain-resistant and water-resistant, kitchen tiles are indeed a visual treat what with their alluring mix of colours and patterns and of course shine. So much so, that some women who work their end up doing a quick make-up by looking at their reflections! What is more, they are available in small sizes, enabling you to create those seemingly mesmerising patterns. Choosing the right tiles for your kitchen is undoubtedly a critical decision. Here are some insights for you -

1. Kitchen is one area that endures all spills, stains, knocking of pots and pans, etc. and hence needs to have strong and tough surroundings. This means that glass tiles are not the right choice, except may be as accents. This factor needs to be kept in mind while making the decision.
2. Again, go in for those tiles that are easy to clean as well as maintain for the backsplash area for the kitchen. As this is where the maximum damage is done. Further, the tiles need to inject a sense of character to the kitchen as well.
3. Kitchen tiles catch the eye of the most novices of persons. It is thus imperative to lend it a very attractive and feel good look aE” the visual impact should be such that both the cooks as well as the other family members who are going to enjoy the dishes made their feel comfortable using it. Feature tiles, borders and pattern designs to lend individuality are ideal choices here.
4. Backsplash is the area that catches most of the spills of day-to-day cooking, so make sure that the tiles you use for the same are easy to clean as well as maintain. At the same time, they should impart a bit of characters to the kitchen.
5. For countertops, again, the requirement is that the tiles be heat-resistant, non-porous and durable and easy to clean as well. This being the area where you will be working the most, it is important that you like it adequately.

Discussion: I believe the local gas pressure is 4 psi., but I’m not sure. Maybe it’s .4 psi. Anybody out there who knows what is typical? At any rate, I remember (from the last time I did this, boo-koo years ago) that the the new orifice was somewhat larger than the original, but that’s where the old grey matter just quit on me. Any comments? Suggestions? Anything?

Discussion: It’s just a regular run of the mill BBQ sauce but now it’s fantastic after cooking the pork.
I was thinking of adding a can of black-eyed peas, raw white rice and some precooked wild rice to the pot full of sauce with maybe some fried onions.
Will THAT work? What spices should I add? Maybe try going towards a chili tasking kind of concoction?

The menu at Dahlia Lounge in Downtown Seattle is as creative and free wheeling as the Chef/Owner Tom Douglas. In his first grill out dish he uses charcoal and will employ direct heat. Its salmon wi…

Discussion: BBQ sauce is my favorite condiment, & they have tomatoes in it. Would it harm me? I hope not. What about tomato paste for spaghetti & meatballs?
