Well yes Ross, but did you apologize to your next door neighbor for burning his roof shingles in your smoker?

nah, Mitchko has been my neighbor for forty years now and she expects things like that. I just bring her a loaf of bread and a jar of jelly now and then and we are cool.

Uwanna, My Dad was born in Brattleboro and would cheerfully eat pea soup for five nights running and then ask mother two days later if maybe we could have peasoup once in a while.

I definitely subscribe to the nose-to-tail philosophy here....I don't waste a thing!

Ever made baking powder with deer antler? It works!!!

You will need to explain that one.

Powdered with a rasp and used as a replacement for baking powder...actually it is the original baking powder, hartshorn.
