Taiga Woodcraft - A Special Purchase

We made a special purchase from Taiga Woodcraft. I don't want to ruin the video so you have to watch it to see it! Larry and Sandy are friends we met while working on the Africa Mercy in West Africa 2017-2019. Not only was this a way to support friends who have businesses BUT it's also a personal connection with shared memories to a one-of-a-kind handcrafted piece made specifically for us! Check out Taiga Woodcraft on all the Social Media channels! Look at the pictures and just imagine what "one-of-a-kind" handcrafted piece he can make for you or a special gift to that friend that has "everything".

Making Vanilla Extract

Tytus and I start making vanilla extract. Ezra makes a cameo appearance. We show you a very easy process. The hardest part about making vanilla extract is waiting AND finding great products. Years ago while traveling to visit family I toured a distillery called Siesta Key Rum. This company has won many awards and their product is Top Knotch, On Point, or whatever the new phrase is for excellence. https://www.siestakeyrum.com/ (and NO, I am not getting paid to say it) In the United States, in order for a vanilla extract to be called pure, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires that the solution contain a minimum of 35% alcohol and 100g of vanilla beans per liter (13.35 ounces per gallon).

Pulled Pork - Convection Oven

I am trying out a few introductory videos from the work kitchen and maybe even my home kitchen. They will be short and to the point. If you would like more details of the video in each post, please be sure to comment! We do a pulled pork sandwich about once a month with coleslaw (mayonnaise based) and potato wedges, sometimes substituted with Tator Tots. This uses up the leftover potatoes from Loaded Baked Potato day(earlier in the month). In the video we are using a standard Boston Butt...

Teres Major Steak

I remember back in the day (2006-2007) catering in East Texas finding out about this muscle in the cow between the shoulders or shoulder blades called terse major. It is a seldom used muscle second only to the tenderloin filet in tenderness. It is also referred to as a shoulder tender. If sliced into medallions, they are appropriately named petite tender medallions. Also known as (AKA) petite beef tender, beef filet, chuck tender steak...the list goes on. But with great beef flavor, a good chew/bite that's tender, and a fraction of the cost of tenderloin you can't lose on price and flavor! Back then we bought it for $2.80 a pound. And it was a hit! It's said you can cook it all kinds of ways but the most successful way we found to do it was to rub it down (whatever rub mix or seasoning you want to use) and sear it on the grill or in a pan, finishing it in the oven to a medium rare. At that time a major meat company (and family) that we knew told us the price was about to

Dishwasher Use

Our dishwasher was never made for real heavy-duty dish washing. Mildly soiled dishes at best. It uses both detergent and sanitizer BUT because it doesn't have its own internal water heater it makes it harder to wash the dishes completely clean and/or remove a greasy film WITHOUT doing some pre-preemptive cleaning to the dishes before going in the dishwasher. The hot water we use comes from a water heater and its output usually tops out at just above 120 degrees F. AND this just happens to be the temperature the Health Department looks for the on the gauge on the dishwasher when its running a cleaning cycle. High-temp machines require an additional booster water heater to provide sanitizing hot water above 180° F ( 82.2° C) during the rinse cycle BUT this also cleans the dishes better during a regular wash cycle. We use a detergent and a sanitizing solution. If you click on the picture of the two buckets I think it will enlarge enough for you to see the writing on them. Both of
