Is there a way to translate them to English at geocaching.com?

there is a bar on the top that says This page is in Spanish would you like to translate it? Click Translate :)

Last night we had rainbow trout crusted with honey Dijon walnut stuff (it started out as http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Baked-D...on/Detail.aspx with trout instead of salmon, but then I realized I had almost none of the ingredients on hand so I just started throwing random stuff on it), mashed potatoes and green beans.

Tonight... spicy chicken and green beans stir fry with brown rice.

lump charcoal?

I'm glad you mentioned "lump charcoal", though. Too many people use charcoal briquettes, which are 90% coal. Real wood charcoal is the only way to go. I've often wished there was an easy way to make your own charcoal. As matter of fact, here's a site that offers real wood, chips and pellets for REAL smoky flavor. I bought a "sampler" from them a few years ago that included a pound of pellets from each of 5 different woods. They work great in a smoker box on the gas grill, as well as the charcoal grill. :D:D

I get mine at the local Home Depot. They carry it year round at most stores.

One of these days I've got to try cooking something in my woodstove . . . the woodstove forum that I belong to has pics of folks that have cooked up pizza, casseroles, meat pies and a whole bunch of other food that looks very tasty . . .

Between a Rock and a Hard Place...

RULost2? and I always decide the evening prior what the menu will be for supper the next day. Last night we decided on Charbonades de Boef a la Flamand. (Sheesh! I lived in Belgium for 7 years - the cuisine rubbed off on me...).

Problem is, the recipe requires "1 12-oz bottle dark beer". I just drank a Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial Pale Ale, and realized that it would be just perfect for the dish. This is such a great ale, and costs nearly $3 a bottle, I'm torn between my love of good food and my love of good beer. What a conundrum (no Hiram - that's not what you've got in that foil package in your wallet...)!

Well. I think I'll go for it, and report back tomorrow as to whether or not it was worth it... :D:D

Sheesh! No! A conundrum in this case is deciding whether to use this GREAT beer in a supper recipe, or to drink it. If you don't know the difference between a condom and a condominium, you need to talk to Hiram! LOL!

Sounds terrifically delish, Dan, but I'm confused about the "flower." Would that be daisies? petunias? :)

Thank you, msteelee, for taking up the "pick on Dan" banner. I've near bouts typed my fingers to the bone trying to keep him sufficiently picked on! :D

Basmati rice? :D:D I was always a fan of "Uncle Ben" until someone suggested Basmati rice to me. Now we have it regularly - Jasmine rice, too.

Matter of fact, it's pork stir-fry on Basmati rice for us tonight. :D:D

The only rice allowed in the house here seems to be Basmati. It's all Pam cooks with.

Try Jasmine rice sometime. It's very flavorful, like Basmati, but different. A nice change. :D:D

Is there anyone out there who is interested in Turkish food? RULost2? and I lived in Turkey for 3 1/2 years and loved the food. We recently went on a trip to Connecticut and found this FANTASTIC* Turkish restaurant in Waterbury. We liked it so much we went back to Connecticut this week. LOL. If you happen to be in central Connecticut in the future, try "Sultan's Turkish Restaurant". It's as good an experience as you'll find in any restaurant in Turkey. We had a good conversation with the waiter(owner?), who came from Adana (eastern) Turkey. (Sudonim may have been to Adana since there's an American airbase there). They have an open kitchen, and you can listen to the staff chattering back and forth in Turkish They even have a big-screen TV tuned to a Turkish station. Try anything on the menu - there's nothing "strange" about Turkish food.

(Oh - and for tonight - RULost2? and I are trying out our new gas grill with nice sirloin steaks! LOL!)

RULost2? had "Iskender kebab", which is doner kebab (in Greece they call it gyro) meat on lightly grilled pita bread, with a tomato sauce on top. This was one of our favorites in Turkey. We both had this on our last visit, and it was a little lacking... The meat was overdone (doner kebab is on a vertical spit - cooking and turning constantly. It's up to the cook to adjust the spit to keep it from overcooking), and the grilled pita bread was a little overdone. This time it was excellent - the meat cooked perfectly and the pita grilled but soft.

I had the Adana kebab, which is a spicy ground lamb. cooked on a skewer, and served with rice pilav.

Both dished were excellent!

We also had a "Choban" salad, which is a chopped tomato, cucumber, parsley and red onion salad, dressed with olive oil and lemon juice - typical of Turkish salads.
