I need everyone in the Littlestown area to keep their eyes open for
my bird! I live on South Columbus Ave, near South Queen Street. He is
a cockatiel, gray with orange circles on his cheeks and a yellow
mohawk. His name is Tweet. If you happen to hear a bird whistling the "Andy
Griffin" tune, that is him!!! he has only been gone for a couple
hours,so hopefully he hasn't had time to hook up with the bad birds!
He is my baby!!! He follows me through the house all the time!!! Please help!!!! If you see or hear him, please call me, I don't
carewhat time of night it is!!!!

Strawberry Salad:

2 bags of spinach lettuce
1/4 c. cut green scallions
container of crumbled blue cheese
1 package- strawberries, sliced
raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing
1 1/2c. Walnuts
1/4 c. brown sugar
3 tbs. butter


In a pan, bring to boil brown sugar and butter
On a cookie sheet with foil, pour mixture over walnuts
sit until cool and glazed

mix everything together, and enjoy!

Soda Cake:

1 box any flavor cake mix
1 can/bottle any flavor soda

Mix together and bake as directed on package.

There are endless possibilities here but my favorite is white cake with orange soda. I then top it with cool whip

I'm told chocolate cake and cola is good too.

Very easy and comes out very moist. I would usually be okay with a can of soda but I've found out over the years that different cake mixes are different. I sometimes have to add more. Add enough to make a typical consistency of cake batter.

Enjoy.

The great leap backwards has occurred. It always happens that when there's a product that you're perfectly happy with, someone is going to improve it and screw it all up. This has definitely happened with the gas grill. 10 years ago I went to the store and bought a gas grill for a little over a hundred dollars. I cooked on it often, and it was great. After 10 years of cooking and sitting out in my yard, the burner and grill bottom disintegrated. But I was pleased because I had gotten enough use out of it. It was time to buy another. I went shopping. The first thing that surprised me was that so few gas grills are available now for under $200. Most are very expensive. I don't want to pay $400 or more for something that I'm going leave out in my yard. I didn't really see any improvements that justified the price increase, but that's today's market. I found one, a Thermos, for about $160. When I got it home and assembled, I discovered that it didn't come with a tank. My old one had a tank included, but now you have to pay an extra $30 to get one. Well ok, that's what it cost to grill with gas in 2003. At least now I was ready to cook. I was bothered by the price thing and the tank thing, but it's how this new grill cooks that is most upsetting. It seems that over the last couple of years there’s been a technological break through in gas grill design that has made the ceramic briquette a thing of the past. The briquettes have been replaced by a flame tent heat distribution system. The tent is a piece of sheet metal maybe 4 inches wide that goes over the gas flames across the width of the grill. It has an angle bent in it down the middle length wise, so it forms a tent over the flame. There is one of these tents over each row of flames. When grease drips on the hot tent, it flames up and makes nice smoke, just like a grill should, so you’d think that this would be an okay thing. But there’s a problem. The tent just works too well at distributing the heat. Instead of cooking like a charcoal grill, the tent system cooks like an electric oven. The meat is surrounded by nice even temperature hot air that cooks it very uniformly. Grease dripping on the tent does make flames and smoke to give the meat some grilled flavor, but you just don’t have the ability to put the heat to the meat like you could with briquette based gas grills. I cooked some sausages with the gas going full bore. They cooked through nice and evenly, but they were still white on the outside when they were done. There wasn’t anything I could do to make them brown using this grill. With my old briquette grill, there were occasional grease fires that made things too hot, but I never had a problem creating enough heat to sear or brown whatever I was cooking. I knew that I would never use this new grill, because I could get the same results cooking inside using my electric oven, so I took it apart and returned it. As far as I’m concerned, it’s defective. Target very graciously accepted the return. I thought that perhaps the problem was that I’m just too cheap. Maybe if I had spent more, I would have been happy with my grills performance. But, I’ve since been to a cookout at my friends’ house. They had a new and more expensive Weber grill. It too had tents instead of briquettes, and it too cooked uniformly but left the surface of a fine steak white. It isn’t one manufacturer or model. They’ve all copied the first one to screw it up, and now they’re all screwed up. Well, I’ve had it, and I’m not going to take it. People knew how to make a good gas grill twenty years ago, and if they’re not going to make a good one now, I’m cooking on charcoal until they rediscover their roots. I want my ceramic briquettes.

not really a recipe but more technique.

Slow cooking or off heat cooking.

Use your favorite grill (gas or charcoal)
get a sirloin tip,pork shoulder/ham, whole chicken (fryers work best)

use Montreal seasoning to cover the meat. Slather it on good and heavy.

if you use a charcola grill fill 1/2 of it with charcoal and get it lit and burning. Gas grill turn on one side of the grill.

place meat on the oposite side than the heat. Place a drip pan underneath where the meat will be to catch the drippings and to avoid a messy clean-up later.

close the lid and cook for hours. Use thermometer to get your desired temp foe your meat. This is the best way to cook meat regardless of the cut you use.

hope this help it more a style than a recipe

Just a great way to make BBQ ribs!
Put ribs(bone or boneless) in a baking pan
Preheat oven to 350
Pour orange soda over the ribs, use enough to totally cover the ribs
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 2 hours
Then put cooked ribs on the grill and baste with BBQ sauce
Just cook long enough for flavor
These ribs are awesome!!

   Great dip for veggies....kids like it with pretzels.

                 One pound of soften cream cheese
                 Catalina dressing about 1/2 bottle

Mix cream cheese until smooth either by hand of mixer. When smooth, add 1/2 bottle of catalina dressing. Some like a little more. After its mixed, whip on high get very light and creamy. Its great, quick and easy, especially if someone shows up last minute at the house and you want to but out some munchies.
