a bbq joint somewhere in the carrolinas. we were lost and just found it out in country. it was called the smokhouse it was great.

love wasabi peas! love fresh wasabi & pickled ginger on shrimp. found wasabi cashews @ dollar tree last year they were imported from Vietnam. sent them to my niece in Mo. now she's hooked. they're great.

About 10 years ago I was going to a potluck picknick, and was seriously broke. I had a pork roast in the freezer, but no bbq sauce. I used homemade frozen applesauce,Heinz Ketchup, garlic,onion,a little redpepper ,& Lea 'n' Prines. I cooked the roast slow overnite in my little Smoky Joe's charcoal grill, then pulled & chopped it ,put my already cooked sauce on it ,then put it in the oven for about 30 min. @ 325. It tasted good to me, but when one of my older sisters asked what brand bbq sauce it was, so she could get some, I told her I made it. At first she seemed skeptical , then wanted the recipie. I told her I didn't have one, but told her what I put in it. Then she asked how much each & I said I don't know till it tasted good.Then she said, "You are just like Mom!" That made me feel pretty good 'cause Mom's a great cook & I must admit I felt a little smug about it too. Over the years since I've had some cullinary adventures, some good, some bad, but I'm still diggin' it.

years ago,{ about 28 yrs} Oster had a version of this. both my older sister & i had one. it was a great space saver & worked pretty well, the major problem was with the motor doing triple duty it began to get slow &bog down after it got some age on it,but i used it a good 10 yrs; maybe a little longer.

I also would love a conversion to volume on this recipe, I'm just lazy I guess. But it sounds way yum! I used to have a Scotch shortbread recipe that only had 3 ingredients,flour,sugar, & butter. I think it was in a cookbook I lost due to a flooded kitchen . We had gone to my hubbies parents for Christmas and it got very cold ,below zero for several days, came home to about 3 inches of water in kitchen.I kept cookbooks on the bottom shelf of a built in dish cabinet that lived right next to the hot water heater, the pipe leading into it was the one that busted. {of course} I didn't lose them all , but I did lose several old ones. It seemed like the paper just turned to mush .

MY MOMS HOMEMADE TOMATOES,PEPPERS,ONIONS,GARLIC,GROUND BEEF SLOW SIMMERED. ALSO JUST REAL BUTTER &AND GARLIC.

I love limes, orange slices, and maraschino cherries.

My first love was German chocolate cake. I love a good brownie. Homemade pie. Blackwalnut icecream with Famous Amos Macaroon Sandwich Cookies crumbled up in it is a recent fav.My Sisters Pumpkin Roll on Thanksgiving. But all-time fav might be Flan.

current faves are flourless chocolate cake & chocolate ginger cookies, both made by my daughter! but really there are so many things chocolate that I adore i don't have time to list them.

ribeye medium rare ,preferably grilled over charcoal .

Sounds great! A little like a creamcheese pumpkin pie my sister used to make. Umm!

My standby is the vegetable lo mein on the buffet at my local Chinese restaurant with the sauce from General Tso's Chicken & maybe a few pieces of the chicken,& some of the sauteed greenbeans with garlic & what they call Chinese Pickle. Now I think I have to go get some, right now! Bye.

Good recipes, good ingredients, decent cookware.
