Originally posted Jun 29, 2011 on old blog Machaca in old Mexico was used by “cowboys” down there in similar fashion to jerked beef up North. The major difference being the beef was first cooked, shredded, cooked some more – then dried. It could be snacked on in the saddle “as is” or later re-hydrated with boiling water to make […]
Originally posted Mar 23, 2011 on old blog One of the web sites I really enjoy nosing around at quiet moments is “Texas Cooking On-line“. In particular, I get a kick out of just about everything John Raven has contributed there. Late last night, after finally turning off the World News, I needed a good dose of John Raven to […]
Originally posted Dec. 31, 2010 on old blog Credit for the technique/recipe goes to www.bbqpitboys.com – recommend nosing around their web site if you haven’t already done so. They have a “fun” approach to outdoor grilling, using a traditional Weber kettle style grill and charcoal. Once again, this dish calls for “Indirect Grilling” – This method positions the fire to one side or both […]
Originally posted Nov 2, 2010 on old blog This is a super easy dish inspired by a very similar one that can be ordered for home-delivery from Pizza Hut. Of course I like to think mine is better. 8) Ingredients: 1/2 tsp. Salt 1 tbsp. chili powder 1 tbsp. fresh ground pepper 1 tsp. cumin 1 tbsp. garlic powder 2 […]
Originally posted Aug 25, 2010 on old blog When I was a young lad, being raised by my grandparents, we would occasionally go over to my Uncle Pete’s house for the evening and occasionally have a big supper over there. They had a large family, at the time about 4 boys and 2 girls, so having company over and feeding […]
Originally published Jun 29, 2010 on old blog My old Buddy, (Clif), passed on one of his earlier cornbread recipes – first shared with Heidi and I about 4 or 5 years ago – after hearing how much she loves having cornbread for dessert with butter and jelly or honey spread on it. This is exactly as it was passed, […]

Originally posted Jun 28, 2010 on old blog Yesterday I posted a copy of my Buddy’s recipe on the blog and have found my mouth watering for some good cornbread ever since! Naturally, I’ll be doing it out-of-doors on the Propane grill, using my square Lodge Logic skillet. I’ll also be “tweaking” his recipe just a bit. 😎 Jalapeno & […]
Originally posted Jun 27, 2010 on old blog My Buddy found a great recipe for Jalapeno-Cheese Cornbread and shared it with us a few years back. The proportions described in the recipe are perfection in my opinion… Chili with cornbread, Navy beans with onion and cornbread, Hoppin John with cornbread – you name it and cornbread is the perfect match!

Originally posted Jun 27, 2010 on old blog I am still looking at further ways to exploit that Lodge “Combo Cooker” on our propane grill. I like to buy “ready made” pre-cooked Tamales, made with Masa flour, wrapped in corn husks – then just steam and eat them with a good sauce but there is something about the name “Tamale […]
