• Bologna and Eggs

    Subj: de-icing

    we got a good sized "ding" in the windshield

    If there is a chip - repair those so that they do not cause a
    crack-line to radiate out from the chip site. It's not expensive.

    Chip sealing is really effective and especially vital here as there
    are a lot of gravel roads and windshields crack really easily at
    temps below -30.

    they whacked me U$35. Which is cheaper than a new windscreen.

    It was just $25 when they first introduced it here but now that its
    popular and people see the value they charge $60.

    Subj: Bologna

    Title: Homemade Bologna

    That sounds way under seasoned.

    Not my recipe. And not one I would make.

    Then why post it if it's no good? I curate all my posted recipes
    carefully, check the ingredients, the amounts, the directions, even
    the spelling, make corrections, and if I haven't actually made it
    myself I stick to trusted sources.

    Bologna triggers my gag reflex.

    How come? The ingredients and process are almost identical to
    wieners. And the better ones are nicely smoked and spiced.

    Subj: Coney's was:borders

    the franchisee didn't do his homework properly and located in
    the corner of a strip mall at the intersection of two
    high-traffic streets.

    That's odd. With most companies the franchisor has to approve the
    site and has assembled a team of experts to assist the franchisee;
    after all they want him 9her) to succeed.

    And the site sounds perfect (assuming good traffic flow and easy
    assess in and out of that mall.)

    Subj: boiled eggs

    In USA there is a 3-digit "date" on the short side of the carton.

    I just checked and it seems ours do have sale by dates. I just
    hadn't noticed then before. My "oldest" eggs say use by Nov 18 and
    the unopened new from the store carton says use by Nov 8!

    I have eaten eggs that have been in the ice box for 6 or more
    months with no ill effects.

    In Europe unwashed eggs are kept at room temperature for weeks on
    end. The laying process coats a chicken's eggs with something called
    the bloom; it's an invisible layer that seals the shell. Washing it
    off makes the egg shell porous so bacteria can now get into the egg.
    That's why our eggs here must be refrigerated.

    I do, however, make a practice of cracking each egg into a
    separate cup .... just in case. Bv)=

    I never bother any more; I have not had a bad egg for several
    decades.

    Title: Bologna
    Categories: Sausage, Italian, Pork, Smoked, Beef
    Yield: 5 pounds

    3 lb Beef Chuck
    2 lb Pork Butt
    2 tb Salt
    4 cl Garlic, pressed
    1/2 ts Ginger, ground
    1/2 ts Nutmeg, ground
    1 tb White Pepper
    1/2 ts Coriander, ground
    1/2 ts Mustard, ground
    2 c Water

    Grind beef with half of the salt in coarse grinding plate and allow
    to cure in refrigerator for 48 hours. Use the other half of
    the salt when putting pork through coarse grinding plate and cure
    this overnight. Regrind cured beef using fine plate, then add pork
    and grind mixture again. Add spices and water and stir heartily
    until the whole mixture has become sticky. It may take up to 30-40
    minutes to reach this consistency. Stuff the sausage into beef casing
    or muslin bags and hang in a cool place overnight. Smoke at about
    115 degrees F for about 2 hours or until a rich mahogany brown. Put
    the hot, freshly smoked sausage immediately into water heated to
    about 170F, and cook it until it squeaks when the pressure of the
    thumb and finger on the casing is suddenly released. The usual
    cooking time for sausage stuffed in beef intestine is 15-30 minutes
    and for a larger casing, 60-90 minutes. Plunge the cooked sausage
    into cold water and chill it. Hang in a cool place.

    I buy only all-beef Nathan's or Hebrew National hot dogs. No cheap sh...

    I lived for a whole summer with bologna for nearly every meal. Baked,
    boiled, broiled, fried, gound up for "ham salad", cold sliced, stewed,
    etc. Never again.

    By all the numbers the location should have succeeded. Easy access,
    plenty of parking, etc. And for some businesses in that strip it has
    been a goldmine. But the corner seems to be "jinxed".

    The current effort is named "Biscuits + Brunch". My friend, Les, and I
    went there for lunch one day. The staff was rude, the prices were much
    higher than the product deserved ... we won't be back. You can check out

    I haven't had a bad egg for a loooooong time. But the last experience
    was memorable enough for me to adopt and continue the cracking the eggs
    into a cup or small bowl.

    Friends of mine used to keep chickens and they would give us some eggs
    and they didn't have to be refrigerated either. Sometimes they were
    still warm when we got them. LOL One of their birds used to lay her
    egg in a different place all the time so they had to hunt for them.

    They were the best eggs I've ever had. The chickens did not recieve any
    food from them, they had a natural diet of whatever was on the farm.

    I lived for a whole summer with bologna for nearly every meal.

    That would do it all right. To me it's just another cold cut, a
    rather bland one, eaten somewhat infrequently. But it's been a while
    and this conversation has given me a craving so its on the grocery
    list. Now I just have to decide if I want the presliced cheap stuff kids
    like, the Kosher style garlicky all beef style, a smoked ring,
    expensive Mortadella or a super cheap chub I can roast whole with
    pineapple juice, cloves and mustard like a poor man's ham.

    Friends of mine used to keep chickens / One of their birds used
    to lay her egg in a different place all the time so they had to
    hunt for them.

    Yeah, I did that as a kid.

    They were the best eggs I've ever had. The chickens did not recieve
    any food from them, they had a natural diet of whatever was on the
    farm.

    Yep. They love bugs and weed seeds.

    I recall one year when northern Alberta had a bad drought and the
    grasshoppers swarmed and became locusts. When they hit my BIl's ranch
    they wiped out several wheat fields and my SIl's garden. She
    released all her chickens and turkeys into the wheat field nearest
    the house and let them have at it. For several days running those
    birds were so stuffed they couldn't fly; they could barely walk.
    That fall they had the fattest, tastiest birds ever. The chickens
    were all over 9 pounds and so fat. The turkeys were all 24-29
    pounds. our relatives made their living from beef (and rodeo stock)
    and only raised enough poultry for themselves, family and friends.
    (We used to buy two of each each year.)

    I just finished formatting a bunch of brand new recipes from a
    number of sources. Here's the first one ...

    MMMMM-----Meal-Master - formatted by MMCONV 2.10

    Title: Copycat Big Mary Chicken Sandwich With Taters
    Categories: copycat, chicken, Canadian
    Servings: 8

    4 lg boneless skinless chicken
    breasts
    canola oil for frying
    2 eggs
    4 TB water
    3 lb potatoes washed and cut into
    thick wedges
    1/4 c milk
    FOR THE CHICKEN DREDGE:
    1 1/2 c flour
    2 ts fine sea salt
    2 ts black pepper
    2 ts dry mustard powder
    2 ts ground ginger
    1 ts ground thyme
    1 ts dried oregano
    1/2 ts ground sage
    1/2 ts cayenne pepper
    1/2 ts garlic powder
    1 1/2 ts onion powder
    1/4 ts ground cumin
    MIX TOGETHER:
    1/2 c plain mayo
    2 ts sriracha sauce or another
    favourite hot sauce
    1 ts chipotle powder or chili
    powder

    Pound the chicken breasts out to an even thickness; about a half
    inch. Lightly season them with salt. Mix all of the ingredients in
    the flour dredge together well. I like to use a whisk in a round
    bottom bowl to make sure everything is evenly mixed. A food
    processor also will mix them up well. Make an egg wash by whisking
    together the eggs and water. One at a time dip the breast pieces in
    the flour and spice mixture, then dip quickly into the eggwash and
    then a final time into the flour and spice mix, pressing the mix
    firmly into the meat to get good contact.

    Heat a skillet on the stove with about a half inch of canola oil
    covering the bottom. You will want to carefully regulate the
    temperature here so that the chicken does not brown too quickly. The
    thinness of the breast meat practically guarantees that it will be
    fully cooked by the time the outside is browned. I find just below
    medium heat works well. I use a burner setting of about 4 1/2 out of 10
    on the dial and fry them gently for about 4 or 5 minutes per side
    until golden brown and crispy. (You can, of course, use a deep fryer
    for the chicken if you prefer. Keep the heat at 350 degrees until
    they are golden brown. About 8 -10 minutes)

    Drain on a wire rack for a couple of minutes before making the
    sandwiches. Use plain mayo or the spicy mayo on both the un-toasted
    top and bottom buns, adding just fresh lettuce to the sandwich and a
    pickle slice on top. A club sandwich version adding bacon and tomato
    is also excellent!

    To make the taters: Toss the potato wedges in the 1/4 cup milk and
    drain the milk off. Toss the wedges in the remaining flour and spice
    mix and deep fry for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and
    fully cooked. Alternatively, you can lightly oil a cookie sheet and
    place the taters on it, drizzling a little extra oil over the top.
    Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for about a half hour. Turn them
    half way through the cooking time.

    Title: Easy Homemade Pastrami
    Categories: Beef, Herbs, Rubs, Chilies
    Yield: 4 Pounds

    2 cl Garlic; crushed
    1/2 c Oil
    1/4 c Coarse ground fresh pepper
    2 tb Smoked paprika
    2 ts Ground coriander
    1 ts Dry mustard
    1/2 ts Ground white pepper
    1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
    4 lb Corned beef brisket

    Mix garlic and oil in a small bowl.

    Set aside for 1 hour.

    Set oven @ 225+|F/110+|C.

    Combine black pepper, paprika, coriander, dry mustard,
    white pepper, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Set
    aside.

    Cover a baking sheet with a large sheet of heavy-duty
    aluminum foil. Coat aluminum foil with prepared garlic
    oil. Lay corned beef brisket on foil and brush with
    remaining garlic oil.

    Cover all sides of corned beef brisket completely with
    pepper mixture, reserving 1 to 2 tablespoons.

    With fat side of corned beef brisket up, wrap in the
    sheet of aluminum foil. Place wrapped corned beef on
    another sheet of aluminum foil with the seam and fat
    side down. Place double-wrapped corned beef on a third
    sheet of aluminum foil (seam down), and wrap again.

    Bake for 6 hours.

    Remove pastrami from the oven and let cool to room
    temperature, about 3 hours.

    With pastrami still wrapped in aluminum foil, place in
    a freezer bag or other plastic bag and refrigerate for
    8 to 10 hours.

    Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about
    6" from the heat source.

    Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

    Remove pastrami from refrigerator, unwrap, and place
    on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle top with 1 to 2
    tb of remaining pepper mixture.

    Place pastrami in the oven, 6" to 8" below broiler heat.
    Broil briefly to brown surface, about 3 to 4 minutes.
    Remove pastrami from the oven and slice thinly, about
    1/8" slices.

    Heat a large skillet over low heat.

    Heat pastrami slices in the skillet with a few drops
    of water until fat begins to turn from white to
    translucent, about 5 minutes.

    We had a grocery store deli here (40 years ago in the dim past) who I hoist on the City Government's petard for selling a preparation very similar to that as "ham salad". Between the city inspectors and the news reports they soon folded their tent. Currently Humphrey's (one of my favourite stores) has "Humphrey's Own Bologna Salad" on special @ U$3.99 per pound in their current ad.

    "Spread" it on the bread, right?

    Actually, pile it on quite liberally.

    We had a grocery store deli here (40 years ago in the dim
    past) who I hoist on the City Government's petard for
    selling a preparation very similar to that as "ham salad".

    Gail told me that our bologna salad/spread is actually derived from a
    similar concoction that her mother made out of leftover ham. Around our
    house leftover ham does not exist.

    Between the city inspectors and the news reports they soon
    folded their tent. Currently Humphrey's (one of my

    As they should. Such mis-labeling should be punished, same with some of
    the mis-labeling of fish that you have mentioned here before.

    favourite stores) has "Humphrey's Own Bologna Salad" on
    special @ U$3.99 per pound in their current ad.

    That may or may not be a decent deal. If you are willing to accept
    bologna made with chicken, etc., then you could make it yourself for
    less than $2.50 / pound. OTOH, the ads I see now form Oscar Mayer all
    beef bologna are about $5.00 / pound.

    In the recipe below, I have no idea what is meant by beef chuck "stead".
    I would just ignore that word.

    Title: No-Nonsense Chuck Eye Steak
    Categories: Five, Beef
    Yield: 1 Serving

    16 oz Chuck eye steak
    1/2 ts Kosher salt
    1/2 ts Black pepper
    1 tb Olive oil

    Cover both sides of the steak, first with the salt,
    followed by the pepper, and finally the olive oil.

    Cook on an outdoor grill, or a hot cast iron pan, for
    5 minutes per side.

    Allow to rest for an additional 3 minutes on the plate.

    Enjoy.

    Asking for a Chuck Eye Steak is like acknowledging
    membership in a secret society. You are greeted with a
    knowing smile, a nod of the head, and then just maybe
    two will emerge from some quiet corner. There are only
    a couple in each animal, and although they have a taste
    and tenderness of the more popular rib eye, the cost is
    considerably less.

    UDD Note: I typically will use lemon-pepper mix instead
    of the salt & pepper listed in the ingredients. Works

    Don't have any brandy. Had some long ago...put some "Dried Plums", aka prunes, that's what they were sold as, into a jar and poured it over. Gave the jar and a wooden dipper to our lawyer for Christmas one year so we re-gifted it. It was a gag gift, she'd given us the dipper the year before, near as we could figure it was made for dipping olives out of the crock they were stored in. Had a handle about a foot long, actually a well made item.

    It had been almost decades ago when we last saw India relish in the
    grocery stores. But recently, did find it and bought a jar. I find it
    with a better flavor profile -- not as sweet as sweet relish and not as
    sour as dill relish.

    Title: Piccalilli similar to India Relish

    I've seen recipes for this before. But where are the pickles? In any
    case, I cannot see us ever going through four quarts of relish in this lifetime, however long that might be.

    This looks interesting to me. It seems to have been written by someone
    with English as a second language. I decided not to "correct" the
    spellings to conform with American English. Leaving it as it is seems
    to add a little bit of authenticity.

    1 lb Butter
    2 c Sugar
    1 c Chocolate chips melted a bit
    -or-
    1 c Basic chocolate sauce
    1/2 c Peanuts; chopped coarsely

    : Melt your chocolate chips over very low heat or in a double
    boiler, and chop your peanuts up rather fine before you begin the
    recipe. Then you can assemble this layered toffee all at once.

    Cut butter into small pieces and place in a heavy skillet with the
    sugar. Cook slowly over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until
    the butter melts and is completely blended into the sugar.

    Insert a candy thermometer into the mixture, reduce heat and cook for
    30 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture is a deep amber
    color and the thermometer registers 285 degrees.

    Pour mixture into an ungreased cookie sheet and allow to cool
    completely. Spread melted chocolate chips over the toffee and press
    the chopped peanuts on top. When the chocolate has hardened, break
    the toffee into small pieces and store them in a tightly covered

    That fall they had the fattest, tastiest birds ever. The chickens
    were all over 9 pounds and so fat. The turkeys were all 24-29
    pounds.

    Wow. Those are some monster birds!

    She is raising them for taste, not profit. So they don't get
    slaughtered at 9 weeks to maximize the ratio of meat to feed; they
    get to live from spring to a few days before Thanksgiving. And they
    are free range; they get to eat bugs and weeds.

    I saved that one!

    I haven't tried it yet; I sure hope it's close to the real thing.

    You're going to have to go north of Highway 7 for this next treat.
    It sounds gross but it's just sausage.

    Very nice. Living where I do no chance of anything like that unless we can find a new friend on a farm. :) The last couple we knew their home burned down and they didn't have insurance so they are in an apartment now.

    I haven't tried it yet; I sure hope it's close to the real thing.

    It sounds pretty close.

    Title: Stuffed Moose Colon

    Haven't had moose in years. My Daughter's grandfather from my ex's second husband (what a mouthful) used to moose hunt and would always bring me some ground meat if he got one.

    They were the best eggs I've ever had. The chickens did not recieve
    any food from them, they had a natural diet of whatever was on the
    farm.

    My parents are given fresh "free-range" eggs by a family from their church. Once I get a vehicle, I'll be driving out to that family's farm once a week
    to get a couple dozen fresh eggs. I agree that fresh from the farm always taste best. To me, the fresh eggs I've tried have a bit of a savory flavor
    for some reason.

    That fall they had the fattest, tastiest birds ever.

    My parents' friends with the farm (I mentioned them in my message to Shawn
    in this packet) always have plump, happy chickens from all the bugs they
    eat. I'm sure there's some very nice chicken dinners to be had at their
    place occasionally.
