    What's Cooking?

    I have re-read this thread as well as several other food threads. I see that no one posts about spaghetti. Does everyone use jar or an sauces? Does everyone think a good red or meat sauce is too humble? I would like to see or find out what all of you do.
  2. Read this old thread and try it out. Travel .4 mph on long flats and gravel inside bends. Start at 9' deep and work your way out to 20' then back in then back out.

    You say the nicest things.
  4. I have the boat at the Holiday Island marina on a lift. I am a very happy camper.

    My evening is humble. Leftover tabouli with chilled shrimp.

    I had some excellent teachers, but the head of the staff was a incredible showy baker. She was so good that when the Queen of England's mother had her 100th birthday, Julie was chosen to bake the birthday cake. Unfortunately, my skills were in taste and not show. I learned but I was not the star pupil. Nancy self taught and has the "feel" you talk about. Every time I show her a trick I learned, she incorporates it and makes it her own and better. Since she enjoys baking, I leave that as her turf - except I serve as her porter. You see the results in those rolls. Awesome.

    Thank you sir. King Arthur has a killer ciabatta roll recipe which is what Nancy used for the buns/rolls. She starts with a biga and machine kneads the bread. I can bake, but she is an artist.
  8. Before I moved to Eureka Springs, Tenkiller was my favorite lake. I would visit TR once every year or two, but I was on Tenkiller 10 to 12 times a year from 1972 to 1999. I am glad you enjoyed the trip and found the fish.
  9. I see an old friend in those pictures. Looks like it fits right in.

    I made the sauce using soy sauce, fish sauce, low sodium chicken stock, rice vinegar, mirin, garlic, ginger, corn starch, and water. Sometimes I add oyster sauce. Other times I add a little sesame oil. Every once in a while I add sherry.

    Thank you Joe. I appreciate it when someone takes the time to express sincere thoughts and feelings. I especially enjoy when those expressions evidence kindness. It must be a special life you live. I hope you enjoy tomorrow.

    Change of pace time! Sesame noodles with a beef broccoli and weird Asian mushroom side.

    After six to 8 hours, all the smoke factor is finished. From then on concentrate on reaching target temp and staying moist. And slaw on the sandwich is not an option, it is mandatory!

    OK. I know it seems like a barbeque competition, but it is not. All of us are doing different batches for different reasons. So in the all inclusive vein, look at these: First shoulder, pulled - Second shoulder before pulling: Bun with pork, sauce, and cole slaw:

    I put two picnic cut pork shoulders in the Weber bullet at 8 this morning. 200 to 250 straight through to 4 this afternoon. They were 180 when they came out so I covered them in foil and put them in a 350 oven until they reach 190. I brined them oven night in salt water laced with real maple syrup. I rubbed them with a good rub I made. I used hickory rather than fruit wood. This afternoon I made a barbeque sauce and also a batch of horseradish cole slaw. Life is good.
  16. Water temp dropped all the way to Holiday Island and the water coming back up means trash in the water.
  17. I fished 4 hours from 9 to 1 today. I targeted walleye and found four. However, all were under size. I had one good bite that loaded the rod really well, then it just disappeared. The bites came in 14 to 17 feet of water.
  18. I went out of Holiday Island this morning and immediately headed up river. However, before I reached the first bend the water temp dropped to 65. Evidently the water coming out of Beaver has enough volume to chill the river very nearly to Holiday Island. Down river from Holiday Island water temp was 68 to 70 and a bit more murky than two days ago. There was also an increase in floating timber and trash.

  20. Almost every flat has depressions, ridges, ditches and other contour changes. Some are very subtle and really don't show on side scan, much less down scan. Others are visible. I find that most of the fish I catch off the flat will be at or near these "changes." When I find brush, timber, or other junk on the change, that just makes it better.
  21. Terry is always right. An alternative would be a Lindy rig. Main line through a weight to a swivel, then a leader to a hook with a float just before the hook. The hook is baited with a night crawler.
  22. Wow! What an excellent surprise! What is your favorite small mouth river? Let's go fish Ned's and buzz baits. I have a Native Ultimate that does not get out nearly often enough.
  23. I am very glad to hear that. Beaver has a much longer stretch of flowing water than Table Rock or Bull Shoals. I would suppose Norfolk benefits from the same factors. I wrote what I did as information I received from AGFC. I may rethink my keep/release policy.

    This is the flank steak hanging out in olive oil, paste garlic, rosemary, pepper, and Cavenders Greek Seasoning.
