Had you been in Portage Bay I’d say that you caught my pole. Good luck finding the owner.

Soak in Frank’s then roll or shake up chunks in A gluten free mix. My brother needs gluten free and dairy free. His homemade mix is rice flour, baking soda, S&P, egg whites, and gluten free beer.

Fun to sit in my office and play something really stupid at the same time a couple days in a row. Gets the barkeep fired up when I complain about that same song.

Nothing’s better than grilling pizza

Forgot where I read about the US airlines mask requirements. Because of heavy lobbying, airlines are excluded and are not required to trace passengers positive test results. We really know nothing about the transfer of the virus to other masked passengers. The article went on to describe how Canada does require tracking of positive passengers. It’s like 33% of the flight’s come in from the US. Out of those flights, it was pretty astonishing the amount of at least one passenger testing positive from another passenger. I’ll try to find a link to that article, wondering if anyone else read it.

I make up taco seasoning in big batches. I go into the Hispanic food section and get a couple different ground chilies and get my cumin seeds there and grind that up. Way different chili profile, not hot at all. I also add white pepper. I also use it for chili.

That’s great!

Big funnel, cone shaped oil filter from Menards. It will take some patience at the end so grab a beer. You been frying up some fish Mike?

Best ribs I’ve made so far. Rub in Holy Gospel, saran wrapped overnight. Pellet smoker on high smoke for 3 hours and vacuum bag them up individually. Sous vide for 24 hours. At that point you can keep in the fridge for a few days or freeze for next time, but before serving get the coals going and slather on some of your favorite sauce and carmelize for a couple minutes on both sides. I’m a fan of St. Louis cut. Did 12 racks for the daughter Grooms dinner last fall, couldn’t believe the results.

“Any Tommy Bolin fans? The James Gang, Deep Purple & an impressive solo career”

Tommy Bolin grew up a few blocks from where I currently live here in Sioux City IA. He was definitely ahead of his time. Not my favorite, but a top 10 in my book.

Most stores will sell the cheaper yellow king crab, pay a few bucks more for the red. Sam’s Club is yellow king crab, but the shell is pre-sliced make extraction easy. We are going to do a huge shrimp/crab bake with a couple friends, maybe $200 worth of Argentine jumbo red shrimp and crab (3 varieties). Going to be epic. We did one in Florida a couple months back, pictured is on of the two pans.

I’ve done grilled wings and glazed them with sriracha, honey, lime and fresh ground pepper.

Not really special, but I have decided that my new favorite summer drink will be Captain and Ginger Sprite with a squeeze of lime

Missing the old days too. Got to know a few, still following a few on FB and sharing some text messages. Funny how some of us from the old days have tightened up our lips, but if anyone were to ask for help it’s given. Put quite a few onto some fish.

Sous vide is Not even close to a boiling point, best way to get a perfect steak or even a whole prime rib or better yet, a whole NY strip. Results are perfect and does take any brain cells at all.

Slider, I noticed that also (more of a gelatin consistency) I also save shrimp shells and make a seafood stock for jambalaya. It’s always best to go big, so I went with the 8qt instapot. Sharon, next thing that you need to try is sous vide. Game changer!

No and Sharon for President

I just put in another order for Meat Church seasonings. Been using Holy Cow and The Gospel, nothing but super impressed so I’m going out a couple others. I order the bags of seasonings more economical.

Been really happy with my Pit Boss. Made up 7 racks of ribs and 2 1/2 pans of cowboy beans. Towards the end I added a pan of strawberry rhubarb crisp. What a feast.

He could sure tell a story through his photos, sure miss that now.

Forgot about my delicious St. Patty’s meal. Don’t care much for boiled tators or cabbage, so I did something different. Oven roasted carrots, baby potatoes, and brussel sprouts. Fried cabbage in bacon drippings. Insta pot the corned beef for 70 minutes. Even the wife ate her fill, which she never did before. Made up an extra corned beef for Reuben sammies. Yummy

Sous vide thick NY Strip, garlic and parmesan jumbo red shrimp and stir fried green beans with garlic. I had done a whole NY prime strip sous vide for 8 1/2 hours, came out better than most prime ribs that I’ve had.

Easy getting around with trucks, like was said, don’t stop on an old fish house drift or road. Good thing we didn’t end up going south from Fishers, could have been bad. Besides a couple toulipee fishing sucked.

Thanks for that link, guess April is the best month for most species of salt water fish. I’ll continue to look. It’s surprising how varied the pricing is.

Got in on a buy 1 get 1 avocado oil in the 1/2 gallon. Don’t recall the price, a small amount goes a long way when pan frying. I’ve been going the air fryer way the past couple years, not much oil frying for me.

I must say that I’ve never personally met you or Billy, but through your posts I think that I know you as friends. I saying a prayer out loud, and sending the warmth of the Lord’s hand be upon you and the entire family.

Will be making it up Friday and Saturday. Trying for perch first in Portage Bay, then try some crappie action SE corner if we strike out on perch. Best of luck

Why doesn’t Iowa have a professional football team? If they did Minnesota would want one too!

Been going to Lake Oahe 7 years straight. 2nd weekend in January up by Mobridge. These next two years will be epic as there’s a lot of tankers moving through the system. Couple trips to NE SD, Spirit Lake Iowa should have some respectable perch now and Okoboji always can be fun for gills.
