Good evening Tim. I think i will grab the scotch, then hibernate also. See you in March.

 

Check your electrical connector - it could have rust or corrosion tracking inside it

It could also be that the feds have used it to install a tracking device, but I doubt it.


WOOLA curls up next to me at night, so heat is a non-issue.
We stay warm together, my pretty puppy and me


A man and a good dog is an unbeatable combination
(assuming you got a gun that don't jam and a good knife)

 

Good morning Y'all.

Hey Wolfe, How is the little V8 Ranger doing. I just started mine, maybe it will be making smoke in a month or so. I have my fingers crossed.

 

Greetings Friends!

I got an oil change with ALL the filters today. I was watching the mechanic and I was surprised at how many filters there are on the engine. I guess I can't complain about the price with that much work.

I have to tell you there is nothing sweeter than the sound of a diesel engine coming to life on a cold morning.

 

Afternoon everyone....

 

Good Evening!

 

More like freezing night, this is ridiculous for this time of year. Still not as bad as the last eight years two hours north of Seattle... gag.

 

Good Morning All!

Happy Friday to all! Friday is like a once a week holiday.

Cheers!

 

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Here's something I mentioned a while back - a fresh batch of "Texas Muffins" made with french bread dough in a double pan arrangement like I was saying...



What I love to do with these is fillet them into three parts by going around them with a long knife until I have them cut to the center, and then I make PIZZA's! Each one makes three dinner plate sized pizzas that just can't be beat - just spread some diced tomato and green chilis on them, and load them up with cheese and other goodies.

Ten minutes from fridge to table...

I wasn't kidding at all when I said they were like a Texas sized English muffin either - take a look at the texture inside:


These things toasted in the oven are ideal for holding butter, or sausage & gravy now...

STAGE 2 ~

We take a ten inch skillet, make some bacon and cook a perfect round scramble, and THEN:





Breakfast PIZZA, anyone?

 

That looks good!!

 

Man - I tell ya what...

I make those things and stack them up in the fridge because they are REAL bread now, made with a french bread recipe, and you can make any kind of pizza you want in no time!

For a big ol' sandwich you can also load up one side of a slice, and then fold it over in half. It looks like a fat tortilla or taco when you do that.

See now, this is the kind of thing you never stop thinking of things you can do with it.

JALAPENOS and CREAM CHEESE... Oooooh.....


(Done it, damned near died from pure enjoyment when I ate that)

French bread dough is:
1 part water
3 parts flour
Yeast
Sugar (to help the yeast rise)


~Any gabacho can make it with a little practice...

*The extra pan on top to cover it while baking traps the moisture inside - it also keeps the dough from drying out while it rises. I came up with this way of doing them so that I would have the freshest and moistest (if that's a real word) pizza crusts around, before baking a pizza with them later. They brown when you toast them - they're plain white when you store them.

** If you want a GODZILLA deep dish pizza - pick out the centers with a fork or something to hollow them out, and then stack up everything you can think of on them. Do it right, and you turn a half of one of them into a big bowl or dish that all of the cheese and stuff stays inside...

Ya know how most pizzas have a big thick rind that nobody eats? Do this, and what you have is a thin rim all around the outside filled to the brim!

Another way is to toast half of one on a crisper, and then put it back in a cake pan and positively BURY it in cheese and goodies all the way out to the edge


When I was young, I realized two things. If I wanted a hotrod - I better learn how to build my own. The other thing was that if I wanted to eat the things I liked - I had dang sure best learn how to make them too -

Because canned food and mcDonalds had limitations I didn't wanna be stuck with
~I guarantee ya...

 

OK Guys and Gals.

I was selected Chapter Leader and NO ONE posts anything for more than a week in the Texas Chapter.

I did not think you all could celebrate this long.
