I actually had dinner there on New Year's Eve. It wasn't terribly crowded but the services was just OK. The food was good and I've had it a number of times as take-out and have always been pleased.

COSTCO doesn't open early enough. I like the 7AM Saturday option at Sam's.

I've had the same problem and just had to replace the entire thing. It doesn't look like they were made for the motors to be changed (unless you are good at sewing).

The old Greyhound bus station in Crowley used to serve the best biscuits. Below is the recipe:

2 cups Flour
1 Tbsp. Salt
4 Tbsp. Sugar
1 Heaping Tbsp. Baking Powder
Pinch Baking soda
1 cup Buttermilk
¾ cup Melted CRISCO**

Mix dry ingredients in bowl. Add milk and melted CRISCO all at once. Spray pan with PAM. Make into balls and roll in flour. Put in pan close together and bake at 350 degrees until brown (about 35 minutes). Melt one stick of butter and brush over biscuits after they are browned.

**Many people substitute butter for CRISCO

I made a couple of those last year and they were great.

This year I plan to make them in straight lines. I would suspect they will taste just as good and will take up less room on the baking sheet.

My wife bought me the Char-Broil with the Smart Chef feature. This feature is good in theory but balky in action.

I used it once to smoke ribs and it worked well.

I plugged it in today and it wouldn't connect to my Wi-Fi. After an hour on the phone with tech support, it suddenly started to work. Not sure what was or wasn't working but I sure hope it's not an hour-long call every time I want to use it.

It's running the pre-heat now with Apple wood and a little hickory.

I'll let you know how it turns out.

Thanks for all of the responses.

I use this one with VERY GOOD results...


CORNBREAD DRESSING


2 lb. Ground beef
1 lb. Owens Hot Sausage
2 Onions (chopped)
1 Small Bell Pepper (chopped)
3 Boiled Eggs (chopped fine)
2 boxes Jiffy Cornbread Mix
Green Onion Tops

Brown meat, onions and bell pepper and drain off excess grease. Add 1 0r 2 cans for Cream of Mushroom Soup and water until mixture is moist. Prepare cornbread (2) as directed on box. Mix crumbled cornbread into the meat/onion/bellpepper/soup mixture. Add boiled eggs and green onion tops. Bake in 9” X 13” glass (Pyrex) dish for 35 to 40 minutes at 350 degrees.

For gravy, combine some of cornbread mix from above and milk in sauce pan. Cook over low heat (stirring often) until creamy.

It's really good. Been around for a long time. Nothing better than Louisiana rice.

Years ago, Supreme sold rice to Kellogg's and Budweiser (and they still might).

I took advantage of the "no sales tax" weekend at Stine's and ordered the Genesis EP-330 today. They only had the stainless in the store and I wanted to "Smoke" color.

Got it for $749 (regular price) but with 10.5% sales tax in my town, saved nearly $80. It'll be in on Thursday and I can't wait to try it out.

I've decided to get rid of my CharBroil TRU Infrared and have decided on the Weber Genesis.

The Genesis 310-EP has the stainless steel grates while the 310-E has the cast iron grates.

Which are better?

Also, is the Sear Burner on the 330 worth the extra money (I realize you also get the auxiliary burner for the 330 price)? How often do you use that?

Thanks in advance.
