Grilling tip

As every Southerner knows, come spring it will be time to get ready for that all-important cooking technique of the south --- outdoor grilling! I have just found out there are many stores (not just in the South) where you can get a FREE Bar-B-Q grill! In these tough times free useful items are very welcome. You can get a free BBQ grill from any of the following stores:

A&P

Albertsons

Costco

Dan's

Food Lion

Fry's

HEB

Home Depot

Big Lots

Brookshire's

Lowes

Publix

Safeway

Sam's Club

Tesco

Target

United Supermarket

Vons

Trader Joe's

Wal-Mart

Winn-Dixie

I especially like the higher rack -- which can be used for keeping things warm! Just make sure to get a metal one... the plastic ones don't do so well.

Ya'll enjoy now!

*Grins* and Teasingly pokes Animal! I love my Trident...Now Ill have to have one made...

Happy Natal Day! Hope it's wonderful!

Hey and welcome to the Pub! Glad to see you have made it to us and glad we are to have you..*Grins* This thread is to introduce yourself. However feel more than free to post your website with all your goodies in the Thieves Market.

Again Welcome to the Pub!

Generously found and brought to our attention By Lady B and pulled from the Tavern...

Another recipe from "Tidings of the 18th Century" by Beth Gilgun.

Ship's Bread. I have yet to try this along with a lot of other recipes at events. But figured some of ye out there may fancy this particular recipe.

" Mix together 2 cups of flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Work in 1 teaspoon shortening and then add about 1/2 cup water. Beat the dough with a mallet until is about 1/2 inch thick. Fold the dough over itself into 6 layers. Beat it thin again and refold and beat it about 5 ot 6 times more. Before cutting into pieces, beat the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into squares about 2 inches across and bake for 30 minutes at about 325 degrees. Store tightly covered, but it may be taken on scouts in a fabric bag. "

I wish anyone luck with this recipe. :)
