Yeah, the anticipation of good food about to be served can sometimes have an affect on picture taking. :D

Your welcome, and thank you, Mike,

Went through so many of those cookies the past few days that I have to go out to the store and get more milk this morning.

Now I know why Granma's recipe calls for using "shortening". Those cookies are shortening how long they and the milk last. :D

Now, if I could just bake an apple pie as good looking as yours over in the recipe section...... ;)

Canning season again- first picture. And it kinda shows the mica windows I put in the secondary damper holes in the broiler door. Nice to be able to just look in and see if more coal is needed when there's large, heavy pots of boiling water over the firebox.

And it's nice to have a large cook top when there's large pots needing to be cooking at the same time.

Last three pix are of a Hubbard squash that Melissa made squash soup for the community lunch at the senior citizen's center here in town. The pic shows the smaller half of the Hubbard squash. Put the pot of soup on the simmer plate and left it to slow cook all day on the back of the stove, until the scoops of squash, carrots, and onions all fell apart and blended together. Would have used a small fortune in pro-pain just to make that pot of soup on the gas stove. Instead it just used the heat for heating to house, too. ;)

The Hubbard squash husk was too tough to cut it with a kitchen knife,.... and for some reason Melissa wouldn't let me use my Milwaukie Sawzall on it. :D We broke it open by dropping it on stone steps then scooped out the meat with a large spoon.

Before we opened it up it looked like a giant, mutant brain. Had me wondering if it came out of a vegetable garden in a Steven King book. :shock:

That is why they call them the farmers pinata. Wrap one in a plastic bag (or two) and drop it onto concrete. Stick with me as I am a mine of useless information. They were terrible last year but this year they are great.

I can finally start contributing to the cooking w coal thread. It's been a long time in coming. I fired it up on wood now... Then will top it off w coal when it's ready. Everything seems to be firing well ...

I filled it up on nut size and its throwing out some serious heat. I'd say it's comparable to the number 6. There's just so much radiant surface. It's really like a big ole base heater. I'm impressed w it's heat output.
