Hi Dave,
DD> I've an oven thermometer (dial) that also works in the freezer - in
RH> I've got a separate one in the freezer, have had problems with the
RH> milirary housing issued ones over the years also. Some were replaced
RH> with brand new, others just swapped out with one from a empty housing
RH> unit.
DD> I do have a pair of "stick" thermometers, one in the upright freezer
DD> and the other in the freezer compartment of the ice box. But the dial
DD> is much easier to read in a glance. Bv)=
Ours are dial also, as yousay, easy to read.
DD> settings on whichever oven I am using. My current smooth top has
DD> digital settings for the oven which are amazingly accurate. If
DD> it's a
RH> That's what mine has also.
DD> It's a nice addition and a recognition that the editors know that
DD> others than their "own" will be reading and (hopefully) making the
DD> recipes.
RH> Except for those that are literalists. (G)
DD> Or not used to the terms. When I'm inputting recipes I *always* change
DD> "cub ed" to "diced" if referring to vegetable prep. Cubed, to me is an
DD> operation to tenderise a tough piece of meat.
But it's also a legitimate term for larger than diced pieces.
DD> I also swap "chilli spice mix" for "chili powder" where it's obvious
DD> that they're not talking about powdered chilies. And I disambiguate
DD> that from "chili powder" to ground chile (chilies).
DD> I said "prefer" not reject the other. Bv)= When I do the red gravy
DD> moussaka I keep thinking "Who put potatoes in the lasagna?" Also, the
DD> first experience I had with moussaka was the white version. As the
DD> twig is bent ....
RH> Yes, same as my favorite bbq is eastern NC pork. (G)
DD> I don't know if I've posted my version of N.C. sauce - which I make
DD> following an article in Chile Pepper Magazine. (see below)
RH> That's more of a Lexington or western NC BBQ sauce. Lexington style is
RH> a hybrid of eastern which is basically vinegar and spices, western
RH> which is a tomato sauce based with spices. Lexington is thinner than
RH> western NC, somewhat thicker than eastern. My favorite is eastern NC
RH> but Lexington is pretty good as a 2nd choice.
DD> Here's one I have yet to try .....
DD> Title: Big Bob Gibson's Alabama White BBQ Sauce
DD> Categories: Sauces, Chilies, Citrus, Bbq
DD> Yield: 2 quarts
I think I'll take a pass on this one for pork.
