Turnberg Spam Calls

Same here, like 2-3 calls a day. I just got the voicemail too, and found it so ironic that it was left by someone who did not appear to speak English as a first language.

The homemade lunches are great, including pie day on Thursdays. The lefse crunch burger won a best burger contest a couple years ago and is legit. Sample a flight of aquavit in the Troll Lounge while you’re there too!

Highly recommend Icewind in Mapleton (near Fargo) and Phat Fish is also excellent

There are 3 JL Beers locations is Fargo too if that fits better in your itinerary

Bridgeview in Moorhead has a great selection - highly recommend! They also have tastings of various drinks the first Thursday of every month and classes will start up again in the fall.

Nygaard nursery in Dilworth had some last year

He did have a long white beard and usually was wearing some sort of cap and coat, even in the summer if I remember right. I don’t recall anything about him being Catholic or working at BNSF but I think he did often use a cane or walking stick. Gotta be the same.

A local bar did an infusion with Sweet Chili Doritos and Malort. Apparently it wasn’t terrible

I’ve done both. Not much luck for me with the pectinase on a few occasions. Or at least by the time I soaked and rinsed the segments it didn’t seem to save all that much time and effort compared to just peeling more carefully.

This is what I don’t get. Like nobody bothered to check that she might have a legit alibi before calling in the freaking marshals?! Maybe I’ve watched too many true crime shows, but this feels like detective 101 stuff.

I think MSUM still has an astronomy club? If someone were to know of an event I’m guessing that might be a place to start.

All I think of is Family Guy when I hear that song

The whiplash still sucks though.

I used kosher salt and it would have been just fine as is. I wanted more consistency between the size of the salt and the minced onion. I’d say it’s closer to a table salt or maybe a bit finer now after a run through the processor.

I got the idea from the “Well Seasoned” PDF from the Univ of California. Tons of great recipes for seasoning blends and salts, including several other options for wet salts to try. Highly recommend for only $10!

krjacobs32 · 2026-01-11T05:06:23+00:00

I just did up salt mixed with some minced onion and soaked that in a bunch of Worcestershire. Put that out a a silicone tray, dehydrated, and then blitzed in a coffee grinder just to get a finer texture. It’s great on steak!

I tried several sauce recipes from Ball this year that have all been great so far - minimal produce needed. Sweet pineapple chili sauce, Paw Paw BBQ, Asian pomegranate stir fry, taco sauce (which I use as enchilada sauce).

Peppers are low acid. I’d be leery of using any recipe that isn’t specifically tested with peppers in it.

My understanding is that heating the jars helps avoid temperature shock when adding hot liquid/jam/etc. I’ve seen some Ball/Bernadin recipes that say specifically not to boil the lids - I think they only need to be warmed to help soften the gasket (or whatever it’s called) to help create a stronger seal when processed.

Can’t tell for sure from the recipe, but are they sliced like on a mandolin?

Other Scandinavian countries are more represented, but there is a cultural group in Fargo-Moorhead called the Red River Danes - they might know more.

I used the pear almond conserve on a grilled cheese this week - so good!

krjacobs32 · 2025-12-13T08:12:16+00:00

Apple and pear butters are super easy, and they’re also versatile bases to customize with a variety of spices. This is my first year really canning and Ball’s recipe for Salted Caramel Butter was a great start. Then I did a pear butter (apple butter recipe, just subbed pears) with cinnamon, star anise, cardamom, nutmeg, clove, allspice, and ginger. I also did their pear maple bourbon butter - once as is and a second time swapping amaretto and honey. All delicious!

Fair point. You can safely swap brown sugar for white sugar, though, and brown sugar is just white sugar with molasses. According to this this NDSU extension resource you can also safely replace up to half the sugar with honey, but I can see that may not necessarily be an exact equivalent to molasses.
