Best Butterball Turkey and Gravy Ever by myra byankaA friend has an oven too small to cook a large turkey, so she gave me her 22 lb. Premium Butterball to cook. Since Butterballs come pre-basted with a saltwater solution, there's no need to brine or salt it. I decided to cook it on a low heat and it turned out fabulous. |

Pear & Fig Chutney by Amos MillerI still had a few pears from the orchard and the figs are almost finished. Why not a Pear & Fig chutney? Easily done! This is everything a chutney should be. The flavors of the pears, combined with the figs' texture and sweetness, the plump raisins and blend of vinegars easily marry to the aromatic spices. And a quality cracked… |

Crisco's Pie Crust by myra byankaReally good, flaky pie crust using shortening. Make this when you want a pie crust that has no sugar - desserts, quiches, pot pies, etc. I'm no pastry chef, and this recipe worked just great for me. The trick is to follow the directions. Keep ingredients cold (I freeze Crisco). Only work the dough enough to get it to hang… |

Tacos de Suadero (Brisket Tacos) by myra byankaA brisket flat or hanger steak ($$) may be used as the basis for these tacos. If you want to present them Puro D.F. (authentic Mexico City style), mince and grill an onion, then combine it with chopped cilantro to top the meat, which is served in small double corn tortillas. See pic. And don't forget the salsa. |

Salsa de Chile Pequin by Kathleen is Cooking in MexicoThis is an authentic Mexican salsa, all the more interesting because of its chunky style. Piquin chiles are very small, but very hot, with a smoky, citrusy flavor. If you can't find piquines, substitute any fresh, hot chile. This is an easy salsa to make with few ingredients. The techniques of toasting the tomato and chiles and… |

Sourdough Bread (San Francisco Style - No Yeast Added) by myra byankaIf you're not a sourdough baker, what follows may be tedious. I know the yeasts my starter ("Wild Thing") caught in Texas are not the ones native to the Bay Area, but this bread tastes just as good. I employed the dough hooks on my recently purchased garage sale old Sunbeam Mixmaster, as the knead time is 10 minutes. This… |

Cajun Crowder Beans by Amos MillerAlso known as Crowder peas, these delicious little fellas can often be found in frozen form at the store. These are fresh picked right here in Michigan and, like fava beans and so many other seasonal treats, we rush them to the table. Crowders are really a 'Southern' treat and I first enjoyed them when visiting relatives in West… |

Homemade Kitchen Sink Drain Cleaner by myra byankaBasic recipe for unclogging your sink without using expensive commercial drain cleaners. It's not for really serious problems requiring professional help, but it does work very well. Update: to this recipe I added 1/4 cup liquid laundry detergent and cleaned the carpets for 75% less than using carpet shampoo, and it worked great. |

Dry Rub Hot Wings by Malcom ReedThis is my favorite hot wing recipes. You can use either fresh or frozen wing sections or whole wings. If the wings are frozen, thaw the wings overnight in the fridge. A good tip here is to leave the wings in their original bag but place them in a large bowl because they will leak. |

Texas Chuck Wagon Chili (with Venison or Beef) by Amos MillerI originally made this with chuck roasts that I would trim out and dice into 1/4 inch cubes. Yes, you will form a blister or two - but it is well worth it. In 1987, this chili, I'm pleased to say, was judged best by members of the Chicago Fire Department in a Chicago Chili Cookoff. This is truly a Texas Chuck Wagon Chili: no… |
