I'm about 12-15 miles north-east of you. I knew that was Campbells Corners, but I thought it was also Addison Twp. How do you like the grocery store called 'S&M Market'? I still crack up when I see that sign.

Look at the sign on the front of the little grocery store on 32 and Rochester. It's called the 'S&M Market'. Or was the last time I looked at it. It's right on the front of the building

32 & Rochester - Isn't S&Ms on the Southwest corner, across the road from a bank? And there's a big gas station/convenience store on the Northeast corner, across 32 Mile from the bank? Right? It's been a while since I was out that way. But I do seem to remember going into the S&M Market for lottery tickets a few times.

Sorry for getting in the middle of the discussion! :-)

No problem. I needed the back up. You're correct on the stores. And there's a little snack bar/pizza place north of the BP station

Yeah! BP Station! I think I was one of their first customers when they got the place finished.

LOL - at the back up!

It was BP to begin with, and now it's a Valero, I think.

Back to pulled "pork", I would use turkey thighs before the breast meat. Not much flavor to begin with, I would think it would totally dry out.

Right now we're stuffed...made the Buckskin bread with 1 1/4 cup white flour and 3/4 cup whole wheat flour - turned out really well. We're happy :-) - could use a nap tho'!

I'm awake again. Erie/Jcole, you're both correct. S&M market, Oxford Bank, Isola's Pizzaria, and two Valero gas stations, owned by the same guy. That's my "Hood". And about 3000 deer.

Thank you for the Buckskin Bread recipe. Made stew tonight and tried the bread. It was great and it will be added to our recipe box. Very very good.

I'm glad you liked it. It is so easy to make, too!

If you feel decadent, you can adapt the recipe a little and make frybread. Here is a recipe with the same proportions of ingredients:

Frybread

2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup milk
Deep hot fat in frypan or fryer

Stir together dry ingredients. Lightly stir in milk. Add more flour as necessary to make a dough you can handle. Knead and work the dough on a floured board with floured hands until smooth. Pinch off fist-sized lumps and shape into a flat disk -- everyone has their own characteristic shapes.(Shape affects the taste, by the way because of how it fries). For Indian tacos, the disk must be rather flat, with a depression -- almost a hole -- in the center of both sides. Make it that way if the fry bread is going to have some sauce over it. Smaller, round ones are made to serve a bunch on a plate. Fry in fat (about 375°) until golden and done on both sides, about 5 minutes. Drain on absorbent paper.

This recipe was from Phyllis Jarvis, Paiute, but I have always made it this way. My recipe was not written down, it's word of mouth.

Damn, it sucks sometimes to cook for wages.

After a looooong day in the kitchen cooking to order and prepping, when I got home I only had the energy to throw a burger patty on the George Foreman and even too lazy to dice a Jalapeno to the mix.

Well, better than hot dogs, the other choice.

I want some of Eriedearie's pulled pork and coleslaw with Gazhekwe's Buckskin bread.

I'm making the pulled pork again sometime this week, it's just so damned delicious.

Gonna oven blast a lot of vegetables tomorrow, then I can eat them hot or cold (with vinegarette and feta and olives).

Jams - I hear Ya. But the fact that we are on this thread, proves we can cut the cheese.; )

I'd love to cook for a living.

Oh Jams, you're gonna hate hearing this - it turned out sooooo good. I slow roasted the pork till it was juicy and tender and pulled apart so easily. So darn yummy with the addition of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce.

ORF - I will from now on fix coleslaw your way. Gosh it was so good with that grated apple and apple cider vinegar/mayo dressing. Very different from regular everyday coleslaw.

I received two thumbs up from my son and grandson and the recipe has been passed on. I think the boy actually swooned when he tasted his sandwich! :-) It was a good hit!

Bag of shredded cabbage/carrot mix. Add a big grated apple. Mix mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar, (I use an old jelly jar and it depends on how much I'm making but about a 3-1 ratio of mayo and vinegar, keep testing till it seems right to you) salt pepper and hot pepper sauce. Let the flavors blend a bit then add to slaw mix.

Mmmm, I have a pork roast in the freezer somewhere. Must find it and make pulled pork. I will have to try the roast method since my crockpot has moved to my son's house. It sounds delicious. I will also try that slaw. I don't like slaw that is too sweet, so that sounds perfect, just the apple to sweeten it up a little. I might make frybread to go with it. I got hungry for carrot cake, and found a carrot pie recipe to try as well. Vegetables for dessert, the best way to eat them.

Jams, I will set a place for you...

I haven't tried this yet, but it sounds great.

Cousin Eunice's Grated Carrot Pie

Adapted from Sweetie Pies by Patty Pinner
-makes one 9-inch pie-
Ingredients

One 9-inch single Flaky Pie Crust, rolled out, fitted into a pie plate, and edge trimmed and crimped
1 1/4 cups peeled and grated carrots
3/4 cup sugar (I'll probably cut this to 1/2 cup)
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
3 large eggs, well beaten
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemon extract
Procedure

1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Prepare the pie crust and set aside.

2. In a large bowl, combine the carrots, sugar, and milk. Add the eggs, and mix thoroughly. Add the nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and lemon extract and blend well.

3. Pour the filling into the crust, place in the oven, and bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.

4. Let cool on a wire rack completely before serving.

Thank you, Gazhekwe, I treasure that honor.

Oldredfordette,
I love the idea of grated apple in the cole slaw, I'll give it a try this week. I'm betting our patrons will too.

In that case, I'll take a double.

Oven blasted Brussel Sprouts. I wish I had doubled the recipe, they were so good.
