Title: My Basic Pickling Spice
Categories: Herbs, Preserving
Yield: 2 1/2 cups

1/2 c Mustard seed
1/4 c Coriander seed
1/4 c Fennel seed
1/4 c Whole allspice berries
1/4 c Whole cloves
1/4 c Dill seed
1/4 c Celery seeds
1/4 c Cinnamon sticks; crushed
1/4 c Black peppercorns; cracked
2 tb Dried ginger; coarse chopped
3 Dried red chilies; crushed
6 Dry California bay leaves;
- crushed

Blend all the ingredients together by placing them in
a jar, adding a lid and shaking them well.

NOTE: I usually whizz the bay leaf, ginger, cinnamon
and the chilies in the R2-D2 spice/coffee grinder.

Add a label with the date and list the ingredients.

Store the spice in a cool dark place for up to 12 months.
Or refrigerate. For really long-term storage use the
freezer compartment of your ice box.

Hi Dave,

Title: My Basic Pickling Spice
Categories: Herbs, Preserving
Yield: 2 1/2 cups

Looks good, a lot of spices but not that much work.

We're still on the road, left Houghton (where my class
reunion/graduation week end was) yesterday after a great time of
catching up with classmates, meeting spouses, worship and informal time. Saturday night banquet was steak (sort of, but not quite filet minion,
very tender) with mashed potatoes, green beans and cheesecake. Pre
entree salad had baby greens, very thin (smaller even than pencil thin) asparagus, feta rounds, tomato slice and a balsamic drizzle. Before the
week end at Houghton, we'd spent several days visiting Steve's mom and
siblings in the Rochester area, camping at a former country club and
golf course. This week will be taken up with ham radio events, then on
to see our daughters and grand kids. I'll update all from time to time.

If I want a tender, flavourful, *inexpensive* steak I try to find a nice chuck-eye. Most service meat counters sell them for le$$ than round steak.
And they're so much better, waaaaaay more tender, etc.

I've an invitation to the 65th of my class from Shattuck/St.Mary's in Faribault, MN. Parsed the list of class members and was both saddened
that there are only five of us above ground. And gladdened that I am one
of those five.

Title: No-Nonsense Chuck Eye Steak
Categories: Five, Beef
Yield: 1 Serving (or 2)

16 oz Chuck eye steak
1/2 ts Kosher salt
1/2 ts Black pepper
1 tb Olive oil

Cover both sides of the steak, first with the salt,
followed by the pepper, and finally the olive oil.

Cook on an outdoor grill, or a hot cast iron pan, for
5 minutes per side.

Allow to rest for an additional 3 minutes on the plate.

Enjoy.

Asking for a Chuck Eye Steak is like acknowledging
membership in a secret society. You are greeted with a
knowing smile, a nod of the head, and then just maybe
two will emerge from some quiet corner. There are only
a couple in each animal, and although they have a taste
and tenderness of the more popular rib eye, the cost is
considerably less.

Recipe by Bill Hilbrich

UDD Note: I typically will use lemon-pepper mix instead
of the salt & pepper listed in the ingredients. Works
for me.

Hi Dave,

time. Saturday night banquet was steak (sort of, but not quite filet minion, very tender) with mashed potatoes, green beans and cheesecake.

If I want a tender, flavourful, *inexpensive* steak I try to find a
nice chuck-eye. Most service meat counters sell them for le$$ than
round steak. And they're so much better, waaaaaay more tender, etc.

That's probably what it was; they had to feed 100+/- people. The new
(since 2021, but I'd never met) president spoke and I got to meet him afterwards. Turned out, he'd gone to NC State so he knew Wake Forest. I
invited him to visit any time he came to the Raleigh area.

Before the week end at Houghton, we'd spent several days visiting
Steve's mom and siblings in the Rochester area, camping at a former country club and golf course. This week will be taken up with ham radio events, then on to see our daughters and grand kids. I'll update all
from time to time.

I've an invitation to the 65th of my class from Shattuck/St.Mary's in Faribault, MN. Parsed the list of class members and was both saddened
that there are only five of us above ground. And gladdened that I am
one of those five.

I never got word of a high school 50th reunion but it was in the worst
of covid so probably never happened. Either that or info was sent to my
old home address and my brother didn't send it on to me. Don't know how
many of a class of 63 have passed away, know that several have.

Last night's meal was a catered one--buffet of roast beef, chicken,
broccoli, baby carrots, tossed salad, rolls, assorted fruit (almost golf
ball size grapes) and peach or pecan pie. I think they're planning left
overs for tonight; we were all well fed but there was a lot of food for
about 45 people. On to Hamvention tomorrow with another banquet on
Saturday when this group will be officially named "Club of the Year".

You probably did public high school. I got bundled off to a church-run "academy" on advice of my public-school principal, Seems I was bored out
of my gourd with the curriculum in my 8th grade classes and was just
"phoning it it".

Talk about an eye-opener. They certainly did challenge me.

My problem with buffet banquets is remembering to bring my own spices
as the food is prepped "lowest common denominator". Salt, pepper and
Mrs. Dash do come in handy.
