By Dr. Ken Neill, III The Eastern Shore drum bite has really taken off. Big red drum and medium black drum are being caught along the seaside surf. Flounder fishing has also picked up on the shore with limits of flatfish being caught. Some flounder are being caught on the western side of the bay, up in the rivers and on the flats, but the best early bite has been out of places like … [Read more...]
Frittering The Squash Away
Squash! What a versatile vegetable! I really enjoy squash no matter how it’s cooked, but a favorite way when I have a little preparation time is Squash Fritters. I had never eaten squash fritters until about 20 years ago when we went out to eat at a little seafood restaurant called The Sandpiper near Gwynn’s Island. I had Fried Grouper that night and one of the sides on the menu was Squash … [Read more...]
Cooking Under Pressure
There once was a pot called a pressure cooker, which had a propensity of putting food on the ceiling rather than in plates. In our family, when Mom got out her infamous pressure cooker, all the kids headed for their bedrooms. Better to study American History than to pick shrapnel and lima bean bullets from various parts of your body - in case “she blew.” But pressure cookers are no longer the … [Read more...]
Pasta Salad
I recall one year our church signed up to take a meal to the Salvation Army once a month. We rotated groups for what I considered to be a privilege. When it was our Sunday School class’s turn, we decided on a big ham, green beans flavored with fat back, mac and cheese, rolls and homemade chocolate chip cookies. The ham and beans were both delicious, but when folks came back for seconds, it was the … [Read more...]
Country Style Barbeque
I rarely take a list to the grocery store – unless my wife Nancy wants me to pick up Australian pine nuts seasoned with papaya extract, or some other such strange request. I’m pretty much an eggs, flour, meat and potatoes shopper – nothing fancy. But I enjoy seeing what’s available and getting inspiration from what looks good. I was in Sam’s Club last week, poking around the meat section and … [Read more...]
LED Tape Lighting
By Nancy Brewer Believe it or not, there are many uses for this particular crazy looking form of light. It is the thinnest, brightest and most durable electroluminescent light in the world. Which means it is groundbreaking technology. This form of lighting is most often used in ceiling coves, under cabinets, toe kick space (where the floor meets the bottom of the cabinets), and inside … [Read more...]
King Arthur Flour: The Best
Not all flour is created equal. I discovered this by accident on a recent shopping trip. I have been doing a lot of baking since I bought my Oster Bread Machine last fall. I have been buying my bread flour, which is necessary in most bread machine recipes, at Sam’s Club for about $7 for a 20-pound bag. A 5-pound bag in most grocery stores as around $2.99, so I try to buy bread flour at Sam’s’ … [Read more...]
Making Great Bar-B-Que
Some of the best food on this planet is the simplest. Slow cooked pork, for example. Get a Boston Butt (pork shoulder), smother it in coarse pepper and Kosher salt, put some aluminum foil on top and cook it in a 285 oven until it falls apart – 8 hours or more. The longer you cook it, the better it gets. Pull the pork off in manageable portions and enjoy – it is plain and simply … [Read more...]
A New Golf Book
Dear Friends, Many of you may not realize it, but I've been very busy over the last few years planning my retirement, and putting my thoughts and ideas together into a book which I hope will carry me through it. I believe my new book on golf gives the reader valuable playing tips and insider information I've gained through my years of lessons, struggle, and experiment. I am very proud of … [Read more...]
Homemade Hot Dog Chili
My name is Jim Brewer. I am a Hot Dog-aholic. I am a “Frank-enstein”. I love wieners. Some of my favorite places to eat out include hot dog joints. Jack ‘N Jil in Charlottesville and Jim’s Drive-In in Lewisburg, WV come to mind. And I love to put a few franks on the grill from time to time. I always make extra and eat them heated up for lunches throughout the week. I enjoy hot dogs because … [Read more...]
