Grill Innovations contacted me asking if I’d try out their Grill Plate. It amounts to a heavy piece of aluminum used as a deflector plate on a gas grill. Their Web site says to not to use on a charcoal grill, but I can’t see why not.
The bottom of the plate has a second piece […]

 
For Father’s Day weekend, we took a short, very short, camping trip.  We are fortunate enough to have two beautiful lakes within a couple miles of our house: Blue Springs Lake and Lake Jacomo.  Both have campgrounds.  This weekend, we secured a spot less than 50 feet from the playground at Blue Springs Lake.  Mom […]

Its been 15 months since I bought this old cabinet for $4 on an auction. Its been a year since I bought the maple lumber to build the top. My table saw needed repairs for the better part of the year, but mostly, I don’t get much time in my wood shop and the winter […]

The Egg was on the job this weekend. Made a Hot Jack Cornbread with cheese! I learned that if you mix your chopped jalapeños into the egg, Jack Daniels, and milk prior to adding the dry cornbread mix, you get a pretty good dose of heat throughout the cornbread.
