    Nice! We didn't do a lot, mostly just sat around the kitchen table
    talking and watching Michael have fun with some of the stuff we
    brought. Mark brought some leeks which we used in a couple of ways.
    I've since bought some, made potato/leek soup a time or two.

    Title: Slow Roasting Rump Roasts or Brisket Till Tender
    Categories: Beef, Information
    Yield: 1 Servings

    1 ea Rump roast

    I once worked for a catering company that did a number of rump roasts
    for large (but budget-minded) parties. We did primal cut rumps
    (trimmed) by cooking them in a low-temperature roasting box for 24
    hours or more. The result was a tender, medium-rare piece of beef. We
    achieved it by keeping the roasting temperature in the box at 200
    degrees or less. I've successfully done rump roasts in a home
    barbecue and in the oven by keeping the heat VERY, VERY low (again,
    200-225 until it reached the desired internal temperature).

    Around here, one of the roasts of choice is brisket (about as tough
    and unpromising as a cut of meat can get.)

    I do ours by marinating it in liquid smoke/worcestershire, cutting
    slits in it to flavor the inside with slivers of garlic or onion and
    serrano chiles, and rubbing the outside with a dry rub. I then wrap
    it in foil, and cook it at 225 for about 16 hours. The meat isn't
    medium rare (medium rare brisket would NOT be a good thing), but it
    is tender enough to cut with a fork.

    Thar was kind of my question, as well.

    I rarely have a pepsi product for the same reason. Became a Coke fan
    in college, then my mom inherited some Coke stock so she started
    stocking the fridge with it. I switched to the diet Coke in the early
    90s so I could cut my sugar intake a bit--at the time I was drinking 2 cans of Coke a day.

    I have never cared for Pepsi. I like Coke better, perhaps for its
    sharper flavor. OTOH, Coke must have a high acidic content. We had a number of Coke cans that have developed pin hole leaks and dumped their contents onto the shelf. We now store any Coke only sitting on a half sheet.

    I've never seen/heard of that happening - until this post. Certainly it
    never happened to me - possibly because Central States Bottling uses a
    better grade of can ... or a coated/lined can. Phosphoric acid (the "bite"
    in Coke) is not especially corrosive to aluminum. Or possibly I never
    had a leaker because the cans didn't stay on my shelf very long. Bv)=

    Pepsi is just waaaaaaaaay too sweet. Back around the turn of the century
    I was working a part-time gig in a gas/convenience place. Pepsi introduced Pepsi One - a "new" diet drink. It tasted very much like original Coke and
    was very popular with my customers, to the point it was hard to keep in
    stock. And I could not (nor my manager) seem to get the Pepsi route sales driver to leave a bigger stock. Then Pepsi started promoting it. At the
    same time they re-formulated it to gag-a-maggot sweet - so sales fell
    into the second sub-basement.

    I used to keep the KFP or Mexican Coke on hand to use if I was getting
    a low blood sugar episode. Now that I am "well regulated" (according to
    my croaker) I don't have that around any longer.

    I'm sorry I missed that picnic. But, then, I've never been to an Echo
    picnic where I had a bad time.

    This is the marinade for the venison sauerbraten I served at the picnic
    Georgia and I hosted ... lo, those many years ago.

    Title: Dirty Dave's Sauerbraten Marinade
    Categories: Marinades, Rubs, Herbs
    Yield: 1 Recipe

    MMMMM----------------------------RUB---------------------------------
    2 ts Salt
    1 ts Ground ginger

    MMMMM--------------------------MARINADE-------------------------------
    2 1/2 c Water
    2 c Cider or red wine vinegar
    1/3 c Sugar
    2 md Onions; peeled, sliced,
    - divided
    2 tb Mixed pickling spice;
    - divided
    1 ts Whole peppercorns; divided
    8 Whole cloves; divided
    2 Turkish bay leaves; divided
    2 tb Oil

    In a small bowl, combine salt and ginger; rub over meat.

    Place in a deep glass bowl. In a large bowl, combine the
    water, vinegar and sugar. Pour half of marinade into a
    large saucepan; add half of the onions, pickling spices,
    peppercorns, cloves and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Pour
    over roast; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 - 4
    days, turning twice a day.

    To the remaining marinade, add the remaining onions,
    pickling spices, peppercorns, cloves and bay leaves. Cover
    and refrigerate.

    TO COOK: Drain and discard marinade from meat; pat dry.
    Brown roast in oil on all sides. Place in a Dutch oven or
    crock-pot. Put one cup of reserved marinade with all of
    the onions and seasonings into a small sauce pan and bring
    to a boil. Pour over meat (cover and refrigerate balance
    of marinade). If using the Dutch oven cook at a simmer for
    3 hours or until the meat is tender. If using a crock-pot
    put the meat into the crock-pot and set to low, cook until
    meat is tender.

    TO MAKE GRAVY: Strain cooking juices, discarding onions
    and seasonings. Add enough reserved marinade to the
    cooking juices to measure 3 cups. Pour into a large
    saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until
    gravy is thickened. Slice roast and serve with gravy.

    Hi Dale,

    the still water. Today, with lunch, I had a peach one--left over from
    last summer, discovered when cleaning out the R-Pod before we traded
    it.

    Are you getting a newer, bigger one? Will they give you any credit
    for all of the improvements Steve has made?

    We traded it in on a Grey Wolf, dual axle, about 27' long, wider than
    the R-Pod. They gave us a pretty good deal on the trade; we did take out
    some of the improvements but also left a good number in. Whoever buys
    this will get a lot more than the standard R-Pod. Right now our camper
    is back at the dealership; some problems that should have been caught
    even before leaving the factory are being fixed. The new camper has a
    bigger fridge, a 3 burner stove, an actual oven and a microwave. It also
    has, outside, a small fridge, ice maker and grill if we want to do a
    quick meal without going inside. That area, however, will probably be
    modified.

    I rarely have a pepsi product for the same reason. Became a Coke fan
    in college, then my mom inherited some Coke stock so she started
    stocking the fridge with it. I switched to the diet Coke in the early
    90s so I could cut my sugar intake a bit--at the time I was drinking 2 cans of Coke a day.

    I have never cared for Pepsi. I like Coke better, perhaps for its
    sharper flavor. OTOH, Coke must have a high acidic content. We had a number of Coke cans that have developed pin hole leaks and dumped
    their contents onto the shelf. We now store any Coke only sitting on
    a half sheet.

    I've been buying it by the single serve bottles, take one to church when
    we have a meal with our small group. If I have access to a fountain
    machine that has the ability to do various flavors, I'll get a raspberry
    diet Coke.

    I got that once when we were in Savannah, much (!) better than the
    regular Coke but since I usually get the diet, a moot point.

    That was September, 2019.

    Nice! We didn't do a lot, mostly just sat around the kitchen table

    came back next day with a pot of beans.

    That was fun, little did we realise that it would be the last one for
    Nancy and Michael. Maybe we can think about having another one at some
    time?
