Jump on in, Robert! Game's wide open. There's lot of local Cajun/Creole stuff down your way that I'm 100% sure others would love to try.

Like we tell all newcomers, your best resource is to talk to the Owner - Dennis Linkletter. He's a straight shooter and will not pressure you into buying anything. But, he will give you straightforward answers to any/all questions that you might have and will guide you along through the whole buying and delivery process. He's the gold standard for customer service!!!

While in the middle of typing the above post, the mail delivery person rang my doorbell and handed me this!! Almost tore up the box digging into it! Good thing Aussie packed it so well! And Dah-ham - that does look like a big bag of weed!! All the unpacked goodies!! Good thing this stuff has a long shelf life, as this looks to be a life-time supply!! Will set about shortly to break this down into nickel and dime bags for storage/distribution - LOL! A BIG THANK YOU TO AUSSIE FOR THIS REALLY NICE GIFT - THANKS, MATE!!!

Iowa finally stuck its toes in the water this past year, creating a legal grower/distributor program. Our first legal grower got their license last week (only 2 are allowed.) We are allowed up to 5 distribution stores in the entire state. Several are in the licensing process, but none are open. The grower won't have a crop until late Summer at the earliest anyway. It's all medical at this point, the list of medical conditions that qualify is only like 5 illnesses, only CDB oil can be sold and the limit on THC concentration is only 3%, which limits the usefulness in many cases, but it's a start.

Serious looking roast, even as leftovers!

As I understand it, Australia is trying to become the premier medical marijuana grower in the world! http://money.cnn.com/2018/01/04/news/economy/australia-legal-cannabis-exports/index.html

Yuk, Yuk! I was referring to primary distribution areas. Example, I can't find any Brooklyn Brewery beers around here, except in Chicago (Binny's Beverage Depot). Bells might be found at selected spots back East, but not out West. Vice Versa for Moose Drool.

It catching on over here, too. Some OK mass-produced stuff (Angry Orchard), but Cidre (made by the Stella Artois folks) is decent. A bit tougher on finding craft stuff, as it tends to stay very local. We have a local cidery here (Wilson's Orchard) that does some very nice heritage apple ciders. I've made a few that came out OK. Have a buddy who's very good at it (makes outstanding meads, too!), grows his own apple varieties for it (cider making apples are generally not very good for eating - raw or cooked!) Of the imports that I've had, I find the British style to be very dry (use a lot of crabapples), while the French versions tend to be softer. However, most beer/wine stores don't stock many, if any, imported ciders (outside of Cidre).

Sounds like Buck Roger's in the 21st Century! Oh sh!t, we ARE in the 21st century!!!

If you're looking for a nice domestic simple brown ale, here a few suggestions: East Coast: Brooklyn Brown Ale Midwest: Bells Brown Ale West Coast: Big Sky Moose Drool (Yes, that's really it's name!)

Looks like you're off to a great 1st start! Pics of the end of the cook would be appreciated!

Hey, we have good beers over here, too! It ain't all Bud, Miller and Coors. Just sayin'

Your item arrived at our USPS facility in CHICAGO IL INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION CENTER on January 11, 2018 at 10:53 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination. Any luck it will be delivered on Saturday!! After 2 weeks, I finally got a notice that the last thing for yours and Charles' packages has finally shipped! No tracking number, so not sure when it'll actually get here. Fingers crossed, I'll get your stuff in the mail next week sometime!

Hey Susan! Glad to hear from you, as it's been a while! A grand matriarchal conspiracy - Mom's doing whatever it takes to get us to eat our veggies!! btw - had a salad with "the dressing" tonight. It's gotten better since I made it!!

I think you should take over a separate container, empty out the good stuff into it and put the cod liver oil in the original bottle. Jokes on him if he tries to poach any of it!!

To my knowledge in 6 years of being on this Forum, I don't remember a SINGLE person regretting their buying a KK. Now, to be honest, a couple of folks ended up selling theirs afterwards, but not because of dissatisfaction, but just life challenges got in the way and they needed to move on. As they say, "Come on in, the water's great!"

MacKenzie's post reminded me, I put some purple crack in the salad dressing instead of regular pepper - just because I could!

Stay safe, Aussie!

It's still in the Bermuda Triangle - lol!

My Good Seasons arrived yesterday via Amazon (how cool is Sunday delivery?). So, I had to make a batch of peach dressing. Went 1/2 package, as instructed, but used some decent EVOO. Very nice. Gonna have fun with this!

Shrimps on the barbee next with the Bayou-ish and you'll have the trifecta down perfect!
