Hi From Electra, I've received several tips and some local
news from our subscribers and contributors this week and
will include them though this weeks publication. Hope you
can use the information to support the good folks around
the world and locally (in North Texas).
I've been trying out the little studio we've put together at
one of our players house here in Electra and had a 5 piece
Gospel group in last week to make a CD. Of course we're
not Nashville or LA quality, but the sound is pretty good and
we get a lot of work done in a day. I'll try to post a couple
in the next few weeks if I salvage any good enough.

A Charcoal tip from Beckie:
Hey, Ed, I was just going thru old issues of the e-zine and I
happened upon the topic of chimney charcoal starters.
First of all, we LOVE ours. We first got the idea from my
daughter's Girl Scout troop. As for starting the charcoals,
here is another idea, especially for recyclers.
Take the cardboard-type egg cartons (non-styrofoam) and
stuff full of saved dryer lint. Melt parafin wax and pour into
egg cartons on top of lint. Let cool, break apart, and there
you have fire starters made from recycled products. Just
place one in the bottom of your chimney, light, and add
charcoal as previously noted.

Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their
beauty - they merely move it from their faces into their hearts.

One evening, a wife drew her husband's attention to the couple
next door and said, "Do you see that couple? How devoted
they are? He kisses her every time they meet. Why don't you
do that?"
"I would love to," replied the husband,
"but I don't know her that well."

Guest Submission
Coca-Cola Chipotle Country Ham
Submitted by Johnny
Serves 10-12
1-11 to 14 # whole country ham
1-10 oz bottle Coca-Cola
1/4 cup chipotle sauce
2-20 oz cans sliced pineapple in its own juice, drained
Under running water, scrub any mold off of ham. Place ham in a large
cooler, and fill with cold water to cover. Let soak for 24 hours,
changing water after 12 hours.
Remove ham from cooler, discarding water.
Place ham in a large stockpot (a turkey fryer works well).
Remove skin from ham, leaving fat intact. Score fat in a diamond
pattern. Place ham on a rack in a roasting pan.
In a medium bowl--combine Coca-Cola and chipotle sauce, stirring
well. Brush on ham. Place pineapple slices on ham, securing with
toothpicks.
Bake for 1 hour or until a thermometer inserted in ham registers
140º. Remove from roasting pan and let rest for 15 minutes before
carving.
Note from Ed:
No mention about oven temp, but I'm think about 325-350F to reach
140F in hour internally.

Eddie's Ramblin's
I get email regularly asking about "Texas BBQ". Well there's
North/South Carolina BBQ, Memphis style, Kansas bbq and
so many others and all are a little different. Let me take this
moment to say and perhaps to brag a little.
If you had one word to describe Texas it might just be barbecue
or BBQ. And Texans would probably agree that Texas BBQ is a big,
juicy brisket cooked sloooowly in a smoker over wood coals. Just
add some beef back ribs, sausage, beans and potato salad and
you?ve got real Texas BBQ.
However, although most Texans can agree on what Texas BBQ
is, we don't necessarily agree on how to prepare it, much less
spell it. From dry rubs to wet mops, from woods to sauces, many
Texans have their own secret recipes that make their BBQ the best.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. (for the most part)

From Member "Bill"
Cast Iron Cleaning Tip
I know all of the readers use at least some cast iron cookware
and certainly every one of you has had to deal with a skillet,
cornbread skillet, or dutch oven that has been well "over-cooked"
and is truly grungy and difficult to deal with.......and, for "difficult"
I mean that cleaning it without ruining your current valuable and
closely guarded "seasoning."
Try this 6-point procedure: 1) Remove most of the baked-on grunge
with a large spoon or spatula. 2) start an overnight soak by filling the
pot with cold water. 3) Next morning, pour the water out and spray
liberally with "Pam" or any oil spray you have on hand. 4) Soak for a
few minutes. 5) Then, attack aggressively with a stiff brush or better
yet, a "wok brush," essentially using the oil spray as your cleaner.
It works great for me! When all the bits are loosened, rinse with
cold water, wipe with a paper towel to ensure it is clean, spray
another shot of your oil, wipe gently again and store. It will be
shinning and at-the-ready for your next use.....and your "seasoning"
will not be affected.

Joke of the Week:
A student became lost during a solo cross-country flight.
While attempting to locate the aircraft on radar, ATC asked,
"What was your last known position?"
Student: "When I was number one for takeoff."

Thanks for Listenin'.............Til next time remember:
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
