My shrimp and grits is based on Bobby Flay's recipe. I had eaten some at a local restaurant one day and then I'll be darned if that night on Throw Down with Bobby Flay that they didn't have a Shrimp and Grits throw down. <h1 ="recipe-title">Bar Americain's Gulf Shrimp and Grits</h1>...

This is the recipe shown in my pic. It was really good. It isn't the traditional deep fried Relleno's though. I actually liked these better. I do have a recipe around here somewhere for a traditional version from Rick Bayless. I'll see if I can find it...

Waldo, take this recipe I use for crabcakes and just substitute crawfish. It ought to be very good. <ul>1 pound lump crabmeat, all bits of shell and cartilage carefully removed1 tablespoon Creole mustard1 egg½ cup mayonnaise1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice½ small red onion, finely...

Think I have posted this before but here is Puerco Guisado with Mexican rice, Jicama Slaw, and Re-fried Beans. A house favorite here!

Crab Cake with Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce (this was a pre-made crab cake. I have since found a fantastic home made crabcake recipe but have no pics of the home made cakes yet)

A few of you know I really get into cooking so I thought I would post a few of the things I have cooked here. Some of these might be repeats as I know I have posted a few in the past but hey, it's yummy and I like to look at good food. Shrimp and Grits

Don't even ask. The wife finally got ahold of the AC guy yesterday. He promised to come finish his mess this next weekend. We'll see I guess. I have heard this twice before.

Oxy Clean shouldn't leave an after taste and really even need rinsed although I rinse after using. Those no rinse cleaners you see, Easy Clean and One Step are basically industrial strength Oxy Clean. If both tasted good before and two different wines now taste bitter I would lean toward my...

I sanitize clean beer bottles in the dishwasher all the time. If you have a rinse agent in the dispenser I wouldn't use it though. It will kill your head retention. The wife uses those Cascade block things that have a dose of rinse agent in it so if I run the dishwasher without those in it...

I guess I was right on the line. Baton Rouge got a little accumulation, I live about 15 miles southeast, got no accumulation. It did snow very hard for about an hour with some big ol flakes but the ground was too wet. We went to Thibodaux last night, about another 35 miles south. It felt 25...

They don't "require" pruning. No grape vine "requires" pruning. If you prune them though, they will produce more and better fruit. Gaudet is right on to. Ison's has a little book you can buy that is fabulous information about the muscadine. Just about everything you need to know to grow and care...

I use the stuff in cooking all the time as well as my coffee and tea. I have never used it in a wine or mead but have in beer before. It didn't add any special flavor though. I like it as it dissolves so well and doesn't just fall to the bottom of the kettle like honey will if you aren't...

I haven't played with those kits so I can't tell you what you will come up with by adding "x" amount of water. If this is wort you don't dilute and you add water you are basically going to have "x" light. Hops wise any "noble" hop will work fine. I suggest Kent's East Golding or Fuggles. If...

You are going to see all sort of formulas when you do a web search. This is the formula I used from John Palmer, my brewing guru from his book How To Brew. Due to his educational background besides brewing (Chemist/Metallurgist) I trust what he says. He researches everything he puts in print...

I would suggest that if you are going to order a sanitizer that you look at Star San. It is my go to sanitizer for everything now. Iodine is a good sanitizer but you have to mix it exactly as prescribed. Too little or too much will have undesirable effects. It will also stain anything plastic...

Dang, one more thing to add. About the lime juice. I think that is going to add an undesirable acidity to the beer. It will probably cloud the beer as well. Here's what you do to see if it will work. Draw a glass of it and add a bit of the lime juice. Keep track of how much you add. If it...

Oh, one other thing I thought of after I re-read and seen your kegging. How do you carbonate? Hook up the CO2 and set the proper PSI and let carbonate on its own or do you hit it with 30-40 psi, shake the hell out if it and drink? Too much CO2 for the style of beer will host a nice carbonic bite...

Hello and welcome. First thing we need to do is to study your brewing process. Most off flavors will come from this, not the actual product. Lets start with your sanitizer. What do you sanitize with? You really should use a no rinse sanitizer. If you rinse after you sanitize, you aren't truly...
