anyone have thoughts about heritage turkey breeds?

going to my mums in DFW, was thinking about trying to track down a farm that had a decent bird - but I realized I really don't know much about flavor/breeds etc - and I don't wanna pay a lot of money for something that's gonna taste like leather. :/

They all taste much better than the butterball of supermarket fame, but they are universally not as juicy or as tender. Think of them more like you would wild hunted game, but without the game taste.

I raise a few of them because I like them so much. To me the only problem is that they create inordinate amounts of poo.

Plus, anyone with three taste buds can tell you how vastly superior a heritage turkey tastes when compared to the average grocery store bird. Heritage turkeys are juicier and more flavorful, thanks to their protein-rich diets and healthier environments with more open space.

If we're gonna do that we need to start taking adresses soon. I don't have any time to mastermind it, unfortunately, but I'd surely be in the pool.

Sun-warmed Senga Sengana-variety strawberries, eaten right off the plant while picking strawberries with your whole family for canning later that evening, after eating the finest berries with cream and sugar :d

Nobody grows Senga Sengana anymore, they're too tender but hot drat do they pack flavour. Instead it's all firm, easily-transportble Corona berries, and it's impossible to go pick your own anymore, it's all done by immigrant season workers now :(

(I mean, I do afford them the job and wages, as long as they're not exploited which sometimes seems to be the case, but I sort of miss that experience.)

Okay, it looks like there's sufficient interest for GWSSS again this year. I'll start a thread/taking addresses tonight assuming everyone's fine with the threat of banning hovering over deadbeats.

In other news, I am perhaps the last person on the internet to discover a neat set of videos. Here is the first:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIVIegSt81k

Part 2 is really loving interesting if you're at all fascinated by mathematics, physics, etc. and includes liberal mention of Richard Feynman (always a good thing), but isn't really germane to the reason I'm posting about this here. The third video, on the other hand, is.

Depends on the water. Water with lots of biological crap in it---like municipal water supplies taken from surface sources (like rivers) tend to be rated as having better taste than water containing salts (like most aquifer waters) or purified waters.

Got a odd question I am hoping some of you kitchen wizards might be able to help me out with. My gas stove will ignite randomly when I try to turn it on, sometimes it ignites 5 times in a row and other times I can go a hour turning it on and off trying to get it to catch. I can smell the gas coming out just fine and hear the ignitor clicking but the stove will not catch. I was thinking it might be a faulty ignitor/sparker but before I start taking apart my stove and replacing parts I figure I would ask you guys since most of you spend a ton of time in the kitchen.

Faulty igniter. You could also just have grease buildup on it. Good thing they're cheap to replace.

e: Now using Cashel Blue Cheese in our cheese amenity. It is by far my favorite blue cheese now.

But isn't the clicking he hears the spark from the igniter?

I know on mine, sometimes it takes several clicks. Gas is harder to light than you think; the mixture of gas and oxygen has to be within a somewhat narrow range. On mine, if the burner cap is a little off kilter, it won't ignite. I suppose it could also be impacted by any drafts nearby. Make sure the openings on the burner aren't clogged too.

I think the clicking noise is the thing trying to make a spark happen. Whether it is making sparks or not is another matter.

Yeah it's this. My last (old as poo poo) gas stove had this problem, especially in humid weather. Best way is to use a match basically.

Mmm. I love that stuff (and so does babby). I love the blue flavour but that it isn't too strong, and is combined with that lovely creaminess. There's also a lovely Yorkshire blue in the same vein (:rimshot:) called Shepherd's Purse. Really delicious, lovely full flavour plus smooth creaminess.
