Hey Ross, I just pulled up Restaurant Depots flyer for Capitol Heights Md and they have FRIENDSHIP Farmers cheese, $8.59 for a 3 lb. brick. Same one we buy in Buffalo that we use and also at RD in Tampa. It is the "dry" farmers cheese I call it dry cottage cheese. It is a 2 week sale best price I ha...

I do have a couple of questions - 1.) it appears that you have some type of log that you are drilling the chips from - is that correct? 2.) are you using what appears to be a pallet as some type of jig to hold the log and if yes would like some more details of the set up? 1. Yes jbk101, that is an ...

Thank You so much Chuckwagon. Looks like I'm on my way to starting a new phase in sausage making. Your explanation of the cultures vs the old way was very informative. Ordered Marianski's book "The Art Of Making Fermented Sausage" a few days ago and am looking forward to progressing forward in the f...

Rytek Sausage Sticks (Slim Jims)

Need some guidance of Ryteks recipe. "Meat is placed in smokehouse at 98-110 degrees F with cold smoke for 8 hours. If You want more tang hold this temp for 12 more hours." OK so we are talking about a constant smoke for all these hours? With my little electric Brinkman I probably will use a 5 gallo...

Anybody get advertising from "Local" advertisers? I get "Bathroom shower doors in Sarasota" majority of the time. This counts toward our click count? :cool:

Rick, cottage cheese does not exist here. I'm sure if I tried describing it to a local they'd give me a super dumbfounded look... I might have to investigate what it takes to make homemade cottage cheese. It probably has some kind of bacteria starter that is equally as hard to find. *sigh* ... Than...

I remember helping my mother making them. We would never, ever, have homemade chicken soup without home made noodles. It all starts with the dough. She mixed by hand, we use a food processor. I see no difference between ravioli and pierogis. Size, ingredients, and shape as you stated Ross. There are...

Yes Ray, We "simmer" the pierogi after my wife stuffs and crimps them. A "boil" will blow them up double in size as it is a noodle dough. We do a 20 minute very light simmer due to the high gluten flour we found needs more time to soften up. I spoon them out and run cold water over them and cool the...

We do ours the "old fashion" way. We have made thousands and thousands of these. Sold them at work and a friend of ours had pierogi on the menu in his restaurant. Even sold them "over the counter" at his place. For home use the FASTEST way to mix dough is in a food processor. 15 seconds and we had e...

Fascinating Chuckwagon. Really looking forward to slowly get into this. Humidity down here is normally in the 60s (today 49% 55 degrees) Going to order the book mentioned and my son will be coming down from Buffalo in 3 weeks. He can buy the needed chemicals from the Sausage Maker when I read the bo...

Been making homemade pizza for a number of years now and been doing various versions of sauces, toppings but most of all the dough recipe. Here is one in which the WD site had a huge influence, which has to date, the best pizza we ever made. A shout out to My "Partners" here at WD: Pizza has the "Ro...
