1 cup water:1 cup sugar How many grams of sugar in one ounce of the simple syrup?

Which contains the most alcohol,... 1) A 16oz pint of 7%abv ale, or... 2) A 2oz shot of 40% gin How much difference is there? Thanks. I like 'em both!

A mish mash of recent cooks.       With Alabama White Sauce.  Yeah, it works.  These ribs were dry, i.e., no sauce.     Pork loin stuffed with bacon, mushrooms, and parsley.         Poblanos and Anaheims filled with pork, potato, and salsa roja.        Tacos.  Pork, potatoes, salsa...

Is there such a thing? Standard recipes.

The bird was first marinated for 2 hours.     On to the fire!   Temp 550F.   Hmm...   Some chicken was removed from the skewers and chopped.  With a rice pilaf.   Yeah, it was great, with a home made tzatziki sauce.  EAT THIS!  

My 16-year old grand daughter got her first job with Subway. Here's the problem...   The manager has the kids arrive 15 minutes early before clocking in.  That is not the big problem.  Today, my grand daughter secretly texted her grand mother notifying her that the kids were told not to clock in...

Picked some NuMex peppers, and others, to go with the brisket, onion, cheese, and salsa roja for this scramble.         Fire in the Del Rogue drum!   Stirring in egg.   Queso.   Con salsa roja y English muffin.     Eat this.    

I broke out the Del Rogue 007 Stick Burner UDS for this one, again. Oak was the wood of choice. Can't get kiawe here... No matter. I used the Huli Huli rub and sauce from Steve Raichlen's Ribs book. It was the first time I used a rub with NO paprika.   Rubbed and ready.   The sauce has a deep...

Still playing with this wood burner UDS, and swivel grate.  I thought I would do wings and see how the skin would turn out over the oak fire.  A simple, thin mayo slather, salt, coarse black pepper for seasoning.  No sauces.   Using a new toy.  A scary tool, I must say.   It is ON.   Temp...

I broke out the 007 stick burner for this cook.  Oak was the wood of choice.   Lamb shanks were marinated in olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt/pepper.     About 1 hour in.     Braising in Guinness, bell pepper, garlic, and onion.     Spares done.              

This is my Big Poppa UDS modded to use charcoal, or straight wood splits.    Under the dome is a grill that swivels 360 degrees, although, this would never be necessary.   Grill exposed.  Wood is loaded through the top.  I thought of adding a door to the barrel side, but see now, that would be...

Wrapping up the Memorial Day weekend with a BANG, if I do say so myself.  A very non-traditional smoked beef tongue, cooked over charcoal/hickory on the Big Poppa Del Rogue.   Got a caption?  It's about a 9-incher...Keep it tasteful, boys...   Skinned and gnarly.   Made a quick rub of kosher...

Upper 80's today.  Did a quick cook on the Big Poppa Del Rogue UDS.  Some of the "same old".   Clear day.   Small 4-lb pork shoulder roast, and Farmer John Hot Sausage w/coarse ground black pepper.   When the roast was done and rested, I didn't feel like pulling, so I just broke off a couple...

After spending 6 weeks recovering from a broken arm (humerus), I finally got this thing done.     Burning it out. Ground down to steel. Build complete. Hanging meat mod. Smoking. Fatty. Butt. Eat this.  

1) Wire brush the paint off a steel drum because I think I want to build a drum smoker. 2) Catch my schmekel in my zipper. 3) Go to an REO Speedwagon concert.

Maybe they're all the same, but I'm looking for recommendations for a quality stainless steel cocktail shaker.  No less than 16-oz.  Not a lot of $$, either.   I'm seeing a wide range of prices, new, and even used.  What is the importance of "18/8" stainless steel, that I see advertised?   Is...

This is just an update on these plants which aren't getting any better.  Is this a possible calcium related problem?  They aren't dry for lack of water.  Growing in Happy Frog potting soil under a 400-watt HPS light.  No fert.           

Plants are in Happy Frog potting soil.  No fert.  Not dehydrated.  400-watt HPS lighting...15/9.  Any guesses?       With flash ON.

No chlorine in water.  I'm assuming it's calcium buildup.  Chemical to remove this?  

I've never gotten one to germinate.  Tips?  I use the typical covered mini-greenhouse on a heating mat.
