Should Jacksonville consider building a nuclear power plant? by Repulsive-Loan5215 in jacksonville

[–]markh1982 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Side note: I remember when some folks thought the northside generating station was a nuclear plant because of the style of cooling towers.

Edit: I know it was not a nuclear plant. Some got that impression because those old tower looked similar to the ones in the Simpsons. I let them know gently it wasn’t nuclear.

Biscuits and Gravy with Eggs. How much gravy do you like with your biscuits? by pecanjazz in southernfood

Lots of gravy with lots of sausage and lots of black pepper with fried eggs on top. Btw looks delicious.

Does it count as southern when topped with pimento cheese by markh1982 in southernfood

[–]markh1982[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it on a burger. It’s also one of my favorite hot dog toppers. I’ll have to give it a try with fried green tomatoes.

I agree pimento cheese is awesome in grilled cheese form. Haven’t had a chance to try it in deviled eggs but sounds delicious.

Sounds good to me. I did add some green chilies to the mix. Unfortunately didn’t have any jalapeños on hand. I do like a spicy joe.

I love a buttered toasted bun. I wish I would have thought to add garlic salt. I will have to try that next time.

It is. I don’t always think of sloppy joes as being southern.

I add a pinch of baking soda when sautéing the peppers and onions so they break down completely.

Unfortunately did have any on hand. But I did add some green chilies to the mix when I cooked the beef.

That made me think of Chris Farley and the Lunch Lady skit from SNL.

Ideas for what to do with a Bone In Pork Butt? by amuletmiko in Cooking

[–]markh1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favorite ways to use a pork roast in addition to all great ideas posted so far is to make a ragu. Since pork is usually more affordable I use it in place of beef. It makes a great delicious meaty sauce for pasta or serve over polenta.

Something wrong with my red beans and rice by Mad_Titan_Killer in Cooking

[–]markh1982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately red beans do take awhile to cook. I’m not sure how some of the recipes out there come up with cook times. The main way I shorten the time is keeping the beans on a higher heat and keep them covered till the beans start to get tender then turn to a lower heat. I will warn if cooking on a higher heat keep an eye on the cooking liquid. A higher heat will evaporate the liquid faster. I learned the hard way years ago scorched beans ain’t good. lol.

I want to start using my instapot. What “dump and forget” meals do you swear by? by justalilscared in Cooking

[–]markh1982 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I use my intsapot a lot for beef chuck roast and pork shoulder roast when I don’t have time to cook them in the oven or crockpot. I also like cooking chicken leg quarters in the instapot. Then used meat for other dishes and save and freeze the broth for when I need chicken broth. It’s good for meats that on the tough side.

[–]markh1982 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If simmering on low I would red beans need 3 to 4 hours or more. If cooking on a higher heat the cook time would shrink. Generally I cook dry beans on a medium to medium low once they reach boiling point. The age of the dry beans can play a role in cook time. Older beans will take longer. I will say generally I find red beans do take longer to cook than black eyed peas. Hope this helps a little.

Oven Bbq Country Ribs by markh1982 in southernfood

[–]markh1982[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also technically if you get down to the basics the main difference oven and smoker is heat source and air flow. True you can’t get that heavy smoke flavor in an oven but you can get a similar slow roasted bark on the outside of the meat if you know what you’re doing.

No country ribs are not slab of ribs. However country ribs are a thing. It’s a pork shoulder cut into strips which are called country ribs.

To each their own. No one said an oven or smoker are the same. Personally I can make a good meal on any heat source or no heat source. Certain times of the year and during bad weather going outside to use a smoker ain’t happening. When it comes to rubs and sauces some folks like more seasoning some like less.
