Re: Potato Soup
Here is a fantastic potato soup from the listed source. It is very easy and quick to make. The cream of chicken soup is very important for the exceptional taste. Healthy Valley is the best followed by Pacific Foods. Campbell's works, but is last choice. I use an immersion blender at the end to make the soup very smooth. ************************************************************************* Outback Steakhouse Potato Soup * Ingredients: 1 (30-ounce) package frozen, shredded hash browns {i used ore ida} potato 3 (14-ounce) cans chicken broth 1 can of cream of chicken soup 1/2 cup onion, chopped 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper 1 pkg cream cheese Directions: In a crockpot, combine everything EXCEPT for the cream cheese. Cook for 6-8 hours on low heat. About 1 hour before serving, add cream cheese and keep heated until thoroughly melted. Serve with cheese, sour cream, bacon bits, green onions, or whatever else you think would be good!! Source: pearls-handcuffs-happyhour.blogspot.com Seriously y’all. DANG good. I didn’t have time to make this on the crockpot, so I cooked everything stovetop style. Probably took about an hour total after everything was said and done. The hardest part of preparing this meal was ripping open the bag & cans to pour them into the pot. Yes, friends…it was THAT easy!!! Mr. Spouse was lovin’ him some potato soup courtesy of wifey and requested that this be added to our dinner "rotation" {which currently consists of taco salad, pasta, and take out}. Yes please!!! Promise you’ll love it!!! By far, one of my faves!!!!1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Easy Peasy Dutch Oven Jambalaya
What a waste of perfectly good shrimp. All shrimp needs is to be saluted in a little olive oil and a little butter, and sided with some steamed vegetables – and maybe a little white wine. If you like all that alien stuff, just save the expense and leave out the shrimp because you’ll never taste them in this disaster. If you insist in making this stuff, you don’t need a Dutch oven and all that mess, just some heat Good Luck! Wil466Views0likes0CommentsRe: Pimento Cheese Spread, recipe please
My first Mother-in-law taught me to make real southern pimento cheese and brunswick stew in 1950. If you ever try the real thing you won't ever touch the store bought stuff again. Pimento Cheese 16 ounces of sharp cheddar cheese (Kraft Extra Sharp Cracker Barrel) 14 oz. chopped pimento peppers. (2 7 oz. jars) Dash of hot sauce to taste. 1/2 cup (more or less) mayo - just enough to make the mixture spread easily. grate the cheese and mix all well. Good Luck!

To make it even better, after transferring the dough to the pan and deflating it, cover it with a paper towel and let it rest in the frig overnight up to 24 hours. Then remove it from the fridge, deflate it again and let it rise till it just rises above the pan rim. Since the dough is cold, it may take a little over two hours. That slow rise adds a lot to the bread. After the second rise, bake as described above. I use the 100 degree slow cook setting in the Sharp for all dough rising functions. Good Baking!

Well, if you really want good white bread, the following recipe produces the best I have ever had. Not that I include the tools I use, but if you use different tools you can adjust. Good Baking! Wil Captnwil's Cuban Pan Bread WCA Cookbook Bread & flour This is a variation on the King Arthur Flour Cuban Sandwich recipe and only makes the bread, not the complete sandwich. This recipe makes a normal loaf in a loaf pan for easy slicing the bread for toast or sandwiches. You may use any tools and ingredients you desire, but this recipe was derived using: Bosch Compact Mixer Chicago Metallic 10 x 5 x 3 bread pan Sharp Micro Convection Oven. Using these tools and directions allow for making bread with no dishwashing necessary. The dough is either in the mixer bowl or the bread pan. No hand kneading on any surface is required. You may need to lightly clean the dough hook. The bread is much better with lard than butter. 17 ounces King Arthur Bread Flour 4 teaspoons sugar 2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons SAF Red Instant yeast 3 tablespoons lard or 4 tablespoons butter 1-1/4 cup lukewarm water This recipe uses only two containers -- the Bosch Compact Mixer bowl and the Chicago Metallic bread pan. Mix, then knead together all of the dough ingredients, in the Bosch Compact Mixer set on a speed of 2 to make smooth, supple dough – 6 to 10 minutes. As the dough gets ready the sides of the bowl will become clean and when finished the dough will climb and be contained on the dough hook. Remove the dough hook and allow the dough to rise in the mixer bowl until its puffy, though not necessarily doubled in bulk — about 1 hour, depending on the warmth of your kitchen. The Sharp microwave/convection oven has a "Slow Cook" function, and the temperature can be adjusted. set the "Slow Cook" function to 100 degrees for perfect rising of the dough. The "slow Cook" Let the loaf rise until its top is above the top of the pan – 30 minutes to an hour. When fully risen, set the oven to “Low Bake.” No preheating need. Bake bread for about 20 minutes or until internal temp is 200F -- not over! and the top is golden brown. If using a conventional oven, preheat to 375F and bake for about 30 minutes. Remove loaf from the oven, and cool on a rack.834Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sweltering

In most cases running an exhaust fan while using air conditioning will just increase the air conditioning load. Fans don't make air, they circulate it. The exact quantity of outside air will enter the coach as you expel with an exhaust fan. The entering air generated by this exercise will have far more heat content in it than the indoor air exhausted. That will increase the air conditioning load and make the coach hotter. Keeping hot-humid outside air from entering the coach is at least as important as keeping the sun out. From an old Air Conditioning Engineer! Good Luck! Wil502Views0likes0Comments
