I do have a pair of "stick" thermometers, one in the upright freezer
and the other in the freezer compartment of the ice box. But the dial
is much easier to read in a glance.  Bv)=

Or not used to the terms. When I'm inputting recipes I *always* change
"cub ed" to "diced" if referring to vegetable prep. Cubed, to me is an
operation to tenderise a tough piece of meat.

I also swap "chilli spice mix" for "chili powder" where it's obvious
that they're not talking about powdered chilies. And I disambiguate that
from "chili powder" to ground chile (chilies).

Here's one I have yet to try .....

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: Big Bob Gibson's Alabama White BBQ Sauce
Categories: Sauces, Chilies, Citrus, Bbq
     Yield: 2 quarts

    1 qt Mayonnaise
1 1/2 pt Apple cider vinegar
  1/2 c  Corn syrup
    1 ts Cayenne pepper; more to taste
         Prepared horseradish
         Lemon juice
         Salt & fresh ground pepper

 Recipe courtesy of Don McLemore

 Place all ingredients in a very large blender or food
 processor. (It may be necessary to do this in 2 batches;
 just add 1/2 of each ingredient and then repeat.) Blend
 for 1 minute, or until thoroughly combined and mixture
 is smooth. Pour sauce into a large bowl.

 Use when grilling chicken; brush lightly over the
 chicken during the last few minutes of grilling. This
 sauce is also great for dipping; set some sauce aside
 for passing at the table.
