    An old family meal of ours, strudel

    grills Traegers-Pellet grill/smokers?

    hybrid Moving with pepper plants cross country?

    Might be moving to the upper midwest later this summer. Have a core group of twenty different peppers in 5 gallon containers that I intend on taking with me if I do go. Figuring I'd just throw them in the back of the U-haul and jet. I'm sure this is probably not cool w/ some branch or...

    condiment I hate sweet BBQ sauces

    Without getting into what BBQ is if possible, (different meanings by region) I'm talking about the condiment. Barbecue sauce. Was in the grocery store tonight and realized I hate every BBQ sauce there. It is all KC style. (really, high fructose corn syrup and sugar back to back?) Or a...

    Eight Ball Zucchini

    Got these seeds on an impulse while walking by an Ace Hardware. Unfortunately, I think it's a hybrid, so no seed saving potential. But they taste great, grow fast, and you can do a lot with them. I guess they're best picked at billard ball size, but some got away from me so I started stuffing...

    Bud Light?

    Sorry guys. I've had my fair share. But gimme a break- if you're headin' out on a fishing trip, and you show up with extra smoked nutty hefe-hoppy-stout in a bottle, you're gettin' left at the dock. Sometimes you need a crappy I'm drinkin' twenty or so beer too. BTW- Any beers you like...
