Playing around with a different pizza dough recipe so far I like the results. I will see how it tastes when I make pizza tomorrow. looking for a little more body and elasticity than before
the pizza crust experiment was a success. I was finally able to get bread flour. It's much more elastic than all purpose flour. used a little more fast acting yeast. Played around a bit with the spice bomb. Crust came out with a better consistency, no thin spots. It also cooked faster by about 3 minutes at 500 on the stone
Grilled some corn and some Hatch chiles for calabacitas last evening to go with our strip steaks.

@eric strt6 good looking pies. if you ever wanna do a thinner crust i have a good recipe, but you have to proof it for 24 hours.
Tried these out on the grill ... good call Jon!
Made a bunch of poblanos and one red sweet pepper because I had one.
Beef, black beans, rice, seasoning, cheese. Forgot to add the corn I had. Delicious. Next time I'd dice a jalapeno mixed it into the beef, plus the corn. Short of that I'll be smothering my lunch leftovers in 505 green chile.
Nice. The last time I did them I diced a jalapeno and mixed it in some refried beans and cheese. Also very good, but I was maybe a little too generous with the refried beans.
I don't know what magic they got going with Elk from North East Pennsylvania. Crazy good. Not keen on the idea of a canned hunt. But the meat harvested sure is tasty.
they are SUPER hard to get a permit to hunt.
actually, just out of curiosity i googled it. since the game commision started allowing elk hunting in 2001, only about 1300 elk licenses have been issued. it wasn't until 2014 that the # of licenses issued in a year was over 100 (in 2019 about 140 licenses were issued). all elk licenses are distributed through a lottery process.
What I want to know is how do the Outfitters like North Country Adventures and Adam Hill circumvent the permit process and hunt Elk, Bear, and Boar out of season? So you and I can't hunt them without a permit but some jackass can pay $1000 show up, Hunt using ATV's and fences? All on National Forest lands. By the way the Elk herds are huge. Drive down 219 towards Pittsburgh sometimes. All the campgrounds are closed due to Bear and Boar overpopulation. Northeast PA is a lawless area for the most part. The abandoned housing is the most shocking thing. All the Fracking facilities are all closed and abandoned. Everything looks like McKeesport in the 80's.
People need to start eating more cinghiale. Mmmm... tasty boar.
boar hunting isn't regulated by the game commission in PA, but the department of agriculture, so no licensing is required and there is no season.
elk guiding is permitted but i can't find any regulations.
national forest land is open for hunting, my dad used to hunt near Tionesta and Marionville. ATV's are allowed in some places in the nat'l forests, which are frequently adjacent to state game lands (and aren't always marked).
hunting out of season and driving is technically illegal, but the enforcement is the problem. like you said, huge tracts of land with low population and less game commission presence. 20 counties in PA with populations of under 50k people, including 3 with populations of under 10k.
i went to McKeesport high school. it wasn't much better in the 90's.
out of curiosity, i pulled up the website for North Country Adventures, he is based in PA but doesn't offer any hunting services in PA, at least that he advertises.
We used his services last fall. I can assure you he does. He has a fortified Militia camp in St Marys. All my Brothers Bug Out friends use his services.
Oh I don't doubt it. Hence I clarified that he didn't advertise said services.
And yea, those regions are definitely prime territory for your bug out, sovereign citizen, tin foil types.
Made this last evening. Very tasty, and an excellent way to use up the avalanche of cherry/yellow pear tomatoes coming in right now. My fresh mozzarella I made yesterday turned out more like ricotta in its consistency for some reason, so I used that in place of the ricotta in the recipe...
trade you an icy cold beer for a bag of those
If I can get you tomatoes, I'm going to insist that you take zukes and crookneck squash as well.trade you an icy cold beer for a bag of those
And all will be enjoyed !If I can get you tomatoes, I'm going to insist that you take zukes and crookneck squash as well.
How did they get a rooster to lay eggs?
Our Tomatoes are off the hook. We planted Grapes. However we got Plums. Delicious and Red. Very few get home. I carry a salt shaker in my Camelback.
Trade ya!
Those stuffed peppers were great. But definitely needed some chorizo or something added in there for more of a flavour kick.
@jonKranked @Nick how'd you stop the filling from expanding out the top?

don't overstuff them?
I roasted my peppers first, the stuffed them and finished them wrapped in foil.
I roasted mine first as well. Then I kinda set them up on the side edge of a grill basket.
