Re: Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)
Jetboils are fantastic, but you're right, they are primarily for liquids. The big cup thing you get with it is basically the only sort of container that will work with it. I almost bought one of those as I have used friends' JBs before, but the versatility of the traditional ultralight stove won over, as a variety of cookware can be used with them. If you would use it only for things like coffee, tea, soup, etc on jobsites or something, a JB would be great though.

Re: Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)
Well, the only real reason I had for buying one was 'cause I just like buying cool $hit. I already have a stove with plenty of gas canisters and you can use any pot with it so I don't need one but it was so cool, I WANTED to get one
Hey, look at it this way, I COULD have been a crack addict instead...
Re: Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)
on positive side this kind of addiction dont kill you as fast as crack.. and has less negative effects on the bank account too. (crak heads tend to spend everything and then sell everything they and others own for fraction of cost just to get a fix.)
..once again, everything can taste even better if its fried.. having fried macaroni-casserole right now. yummy. (it was done 2 days ago and now the rest i fried on fryingpan with little butter ofcourse)
bread and sandwich-wise i have been boring. althou today: i had thicker set of meats on my sandwich than the bread was. i woke up feeling like i needed salt etc so i got a reason to over stack my whole wheat toast breads (with butter).. so had them with rest of the slices of packets of turkey ham, meatwurst and cold smoked ham, 3 slices of toast and fillings in between.. and a whole tomato on the side. and 3 glasses of milk.

Ok, I finally have to ask. What exactly is "meatwurst"? Seems kinda ambiguous to me. Maybe that's the point, lol.

Re: Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)
Holy crap Nonsence, that's a lotta sammich!
I don't know about the fried casserole though. I'll have to be on the fence on that one till I get to taste it...no offense nonsence
(I kinda thought that last one was funny, but that's just me..)
Whaddup dude?
Gettin' ready to plant stuff and yes, I will take pics. Shared the seeds I got from Nogg with a buddy of mine and told him
that pics WERE required
Re: Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)
typo.. mettwurst i meant.
----
yeah this is very similar to what i had: http://www.scandinaviafood.com/finni...ole-recipe.php that is good as is.. then day later, you could heat it up in oven or microwave.. but this time i decided to fry it.
kinda got the idea to do it again as a friend of mine did some fried rice and offered it to me for a taste.. gonna do that myself one day too.. fried rice. they do it in tv shows but never had eaten one myself before.

Re: Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)
Anyone try hardtack? My daughter had to make some for her school and she was supposed to record our reactions as we were supposed to try it. I want to send her teacher my dental bill! Hardtack is otherwise known as "jaw breaker". When my daughter made it she made it a lot thinner than she was supposed to (3/16") and this made it edible. She brought home a piece that her friend had made that was about half an inch thick and about the only thing I could think to do with it was to use it as a skipping stone as it was absolutely unbreakable using my teeth.
Re: Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)
hah. never had one but i believe it is meant to be soaked with water or tee (anything liquid) till its edible mush.

That stuff was intended to be eaten by sailors because it would keep for years if properly stored. Soldiers on both sides of the US Civil War carried the stuff into battle. It's still sold as survival food in Alaska.
Meatwurst...still don't know what's in it, lol. I assume a pork or beef sausage of sorts? Is it eaten cold and sliced like salami or summersausage or warm like a brat?
Hardtack...sounds terrible.I'd rather go with the Native American style of survival food, pemmican. Bits of meat and lard and dried berries all packed together. Also kept well and sounds infinitely tastier. I should see if there's any recipes for that around and try to make some.

You shouldn't have told him that you were leaving all your possessions (including torches and dogs) to him in your will.There yall go again, disappearing...
Nonsence, what's the word on the shirts? Good or not?
A buddy of mine cooked a chicken for me and I think he tried to poison me. Damn thing was still raw
.
Re: Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)
shirts still in rotation and evaluation stage.. (i got so many shirts going round) friends seemed happy with theirs. i have too. but first impressions.. they need the tuggin and pullin.. if one dont do it, they shrunk in length..

cabbage stew yesterday.
and today been mostly eating fresh baguette with home smoked lax. (alder and little bit of apple tree) just salt and dash of sugar as flavor this time. sadly done in the electric smoker version this time.. the old smoker box finally gave in last year so we need to make a new one this summer. hmm.. gotta go see if the commercial ones have improved at all in decade .. as the electric box was suprisingly nice. been easy to do smoked fish all thru winter outside in patio no matter the temperature.
even thou smoke is smoke even if its done with electric heat rods but i gotta say something feels cooler, or something macic happens when you do it with real live "flame". it just seems to taste better. maybe it is just the idea of doing it the old way? haha.

Re: Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)
That's the thing. I'm not much for smoked or barbecue and around here, seems that's all they do
Yeah, I've always tugged on all my shirts, these and other brands. I do both length and width and do it twice.
Is the Hanes the same? I mean, does it shrink too?
Re: Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)
actually the hanes seemed to be of same size as before.. but it has only gone thru the cycle once i think but the 4 deltas i have used have been thru 2 or 3 times.
ooh.. i would really like the bbq and smoking cuisine. hah.
but over here we dont do the american bbq style of lathing the food with sauces while cooking it.. we just chuck meat or sausages in grill and be done with them. (i think it was the same in sweden too)
i would really like to learn to do the steaks ribs etc food the "slow way" with marinades and smoking and slow roast. i am just too impatient when im hungry and the grill is heated up. hahah.

Re: Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)
I've gotta tell you, around here, when they do baby back ribs and they do them right, they're incredible. The trick is they steam them or something first to make them really cooked and tender and then they put them on the grill to pretty much just get a little grilled surface so to speak. Great stuff!
I'm sure I can find you plenty of recipes but the problem is, without having tried them, which one is good but if you're interested, I can look around.
Re: Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)
Hey guys, for those of you who are local. Does anyone happen to have access to a UPS account with better prices?
I'll need to ship a few computers in the next weeks and I already paid $103 to ship one which has to be sent back and then
I have to send another one and back?
I would be more than happy to pay for the shipping up front of course.
Mind you, if it gets complicated in any way (like you have to ask someone else or whatever) then
it's not that important.
Damn, shipping is expensive these days
Anyway, I just had some pasta with some sauce with sausage. The dude the cooked
it said it had been cooking for two days...?
Seems to me that it's over complicating things a bit. It was good though
and I'm always grateful for free food
Re: Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)
pasta that cooks for 2 days? hahahahah. that must of been a glob! just kiddin.
yeah some pastasauces do get better in time.. slow cook it for hours and its good. and even better the day after. i personally wouldnt have the nerve to wait 2 days for food to be ready to eat. its hunger that drives me to cook in 1st place.

Re: Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)
This probably looks weird, but it's really good. Take a hamburger bun, split it, and put it on the plate. Scoop a bunch of chili on it. Then put a slice of American cheese on each side and nuke it till it's hot and melty. Eat it with a fork. Mmmmmm.

Re: Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)
Yeah, pretty much actually, haha. A more entertaining way to eat chili anyways.

Re: Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)
I've done something like that, except with white bread and without the cheese
Had tamales made by real Mexicans on Saturday, covered in fresh pico de gallo - tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cilantro, some avocado too, chopped up coarsely, maybe a bit of citrus juice and salt. It was so fresh and flavorful, I loved it.
Where you all at? March, nonsence, Noggin, guiri, DM, Kestrel, Acid, everyone disappeared off the Earth apparently.
