Tyrus

Mac, she stole all of your photos, I mean pretty far back in history. I did leave a message stating, "THESE ARE NOT YOUR PHOTOS"!!!!!!!!!!!! Is she the Wicked Witch of the West

Yeah! Thought that was pretty low

Hello Mac, thought I'd let you know that someone is uploading your photos on the Primo photo gallery site and signing the name Lynne to them. They have your Saturday bread, your bacon and duck egg and others. Just thought you'd like to know

No problem, been called worse. U should receive a message on the tab right next to notification. When u send a message and send it to tyrus it will be sent to the KK site confidentially on the message tab and my email

The Purple crack mix with the brown sugar base Fat Bastard rub was inconclusive. I used 5 peppercorns crushed finely and blended it into the rub and applied. I feel it does well in a sugar base, sweet heat. The next time I will add more to enhance the pepper flavor but, they do pair well together, it's a matter of proportion. On the left side the Purple crack blend was applied and to the right a killer hog rub was on. The ribs didn't pull back as much as I wished but, time wasn't on my side tonite. They were good, no complaints. So don't be dissuaded by the first impression, hey, sometime your best friends might have been ones that didn't meet expectations at first but, they're still around.

You do realize it's only Wednesday

If that ain't a French bread I don't know what is. A thing of beauty

2.2 lbs Bruce. One more friend is never enough. It is Christmas

That's exceptional as the eyes please. Dennis may not put anything in your stocking this year if u stray away. Be careful, coal is in ample supply. I'll have taste though

You know I have my own experiment going on now. I crushed {fine} 5 peppercorns and added it to a Pork Rub I have called Fat Bastard which is a brown sugar base. I'm thinking the peppercorns will add some sweet heat to the ribs. I have another rub on the opposite from Killer Hogs that's also sweet. I could have added to this mix, maybe next time. I'm glad the door is still open, best of luck And Bruce if you really want to try some send me your address via the communication venue here on KK and I will accommodate. No need to buy, just in case it's not for you

Thanks. I just pulled the trigger,.....WOW your absolutely right, it's gotta be tamed some how. Definitely a science project in the works, don't want to put that on my corn flakes. I think I bought the air dried because it came in a resalable plastic bag and had some trash in it or better put, { little stems and such }. It had too easy of a crunch between my teeth, it broke apart quite easily so placing them in a peppermill is suspect, {at least for me }. The purle look was there when I spit it out or was that my tongue, not sure. I do believe there are possibilities, I may have to reach a little further than I normally do with things but, it will work. Those presents for Xmas Mac are still going out, except they'll have a warning label attached. For you Aussie, well,if I were inclined to go into a bar with a small bag of these and place a few bets I may walk out with a few bucks in my pocket or a little less hair on my head. Only in Australia. Good luck Tekobo and thanks for the direction... Toney Santa could run his sleigh on a few of these

Lowes or Home Depot carry fire starters if that hill is close enough to them. If u really had too, wax and dry wood shavings are something you could make...cheap, but a little smoky.

I think there are a number of possibilities in combing spices to make this peppercorn a workable spice. Used lightly or in a blend as you did, make it practical or at least I hope so. Since I haven't tried to work with this yet, I'm not ready to toss in the towel or offer opinion. I hope this discussion as you requested of me earlier can grow beyond the first impression.

Don't stick your hand in that box your gonna get bit! ok, haven't tried it yet, maybe I'm leaning towards a blend, maybe not. Geez, I only took a whiff, that wasn't Pandora's box I opened, was it?

You know the box is still fresh and I haven't tried the bite, just yet. Know as I understand that your grain is a little course, try smoothing it out in a grinder, such as.. a coffee grinder to make a powder. I noticed Aussie using it on beef, that's more forgiving. Anyhow my experience hasn't yet begun, I do wish you the best and am sure you'll find an area to use it. Acquired taste, maybe. I've never been to AU so it's hard to say

Hmmmm, will see. Every spice has an application.

Hope the Fosters is a good thing because I've been partaking in the brew for eons, just to help the AU economy along of course. The bite as you say, well maybe that's a trap.....no problem, tomorrow friend.

Is that a pessimist speaking.

I've had the Irish Jacks on guard duty for what seems like 10 days, an eternity, they've been watching the mail box and it's cost me dearly, in reward cookies. The peppercorns have arrived, purple crack as I've been told, and in opening the package I was surprised by the sweet floral aroma of these corns. The package was 2.2 lbs, what seemed to be a massive amount for personal consumption as pepper goes but, I will separate them into smaller gifts and hope to spread alittle of the downunder... all over for a little Xmas cheer. Had to put the Fosters Lager { a favorite of mine } in to show the world isn't really all that big. Merry Xmas

Verrrry nice

As I undertsand it, "richer" is because the yolks are larger than the chicken eggs in comparison. If your baking the larger yolk is preferred.

If you use a benzomatic torch as I do your bound to experience a lot of spark but, an alternative might be to use fire starters { compressed fibers with additives to help it ignite } buried in the coals. Light and close the lid, open the vent and air and it will go on it's own without worry. The fire is self contained in your KK. Don't worry about the starters and food because by the time you begin to cook the coals have consumed all the pieces.

Love chicken thighs, looks interesting with that spice blend. Enjoy

Whats next....an ostrich egg?
