Last weekend on Saturday morning, the wife and I hit another local green market, located in Ft. Pierce. It’s broken into two sections, crafts and edibles. We blazed through the crafts, but took our time in the edibles section. The selection of both was fantastic, but the food section was what we were there to […]

Drying Fish – Kingfish
I was given a fresh-caught a couple days ago, and promptly sliced up some steaks and fried it. Lovely! Kingfish is a mackerel, one of the larger ones. The offer a nice fight, and if properly handled and prepared, a tasty meal.

Guest Post: BlueTang makes Jagerwurst, Keilbasa and Buckboard Bacon
Today is Election day 2012. What better subject to write about than “pork”? BlueTang made some tasty meat products last weekend. He sent me some pics…and being a man of few words, he “allowed” me to
