I have a dandy recipe for spicy cornbread muffins I can share.  I make it about once every 6 months for church fellowship meal, enough time for folks to forget about it.  Every time I do, I get compliments that is the best cornbread folks have ever had!

~Kees~


I use jalapenos, sharp cheddar cheese and bacon grease.  Would like to try your recipe if you'd be willing to share it!
Lord, make my words as sweet as honey for tomorrow I may have to eat them.  Amen

I sent it to you in an email.  Anyone else want the recipe?

Thank You!  Looking forward to trying it!  However! Unless someone has planted pine in their yard, we don't have pine here in south central Kentucky. I will try it without and with substitutions. My cornbread pan hasn't been heated this week and I swear I could hear it weeping from neglect!
Something for you to try as an addition, about a cup of shredded sharp Cheddar cheese.

I get the pine nuts at Walmart in the baking section, where they also have the chopped nuts, chocolate chips etc.

I had actually been thinking of trying to add cheese one of these times.  Thank you for the inspiration!  :bl th up

Drove SWMBO around hells half acre today running errands as she likes to call it, got back mid afternoon with enough time to get the first coat of old school Johnsons paste wax on that CVA Mtn Rifle stock I've been working on, another coat of wax and then I'll throw it together and mark it for sale! :yessir:

I just had to share this.  At our October Jump School I was able to honor my grandfather Capt. William E. Gray USMC.  He, of course, fought in the PTO during the war.  With me are two teammates, and good friends who are Marines who were on my stick to help me honor him.

I'm thinking my next day off--Tuesday--I may make a road trip to The Big City to visit a gunstore and maybe do some trading.  I've not shot my trapdoor for a year, or my spare 1860 ever.  I've been spending much of my spare time shooting flinters or my carry gun, or teaching intro to flintlock classes.  Maybe I can find some new toy to hold my interest for a bit. 

Or maybe I'm just bored, and a bit bummed at missing the gunshows this fall.  Net effect is the same, eh?

Just got back from a quick little vacation.
We left the middle of September and spent two weeks in the Sierras, then we went to Salt Lake City for a few days, then spent the rest of our time hanging out at Utah's national parks, Capital Reef, Arches, Canyonlands, Bryce Canyon and Zion.
Now to clean up everything and get ready for our next outing.
The next thing on my plate is to move my shop out of the garage and into a freestanding shed.  I think it will be better out there.

Hmmmm....Still very quiet around here.  I'm around but not much else.
Young guys should hang out with old guys; old guys know stuff.

Thought you retired 3 times? :lol sign

Working on the outside round to it's before the weather turns to total crap, then I can get to the inside stuff, mostly restock or bags , horns and such for next years show and rondy season which have become fewer over the years, I did get a second coat of wax on the Mtn Rifle stock today, will buff it off and hopefully assemble tomorrow, pics to come!

Beav- Yeah, I guess I have retired 3 times or so.  Is it only 3 times?  Maybe so.
But this darn horn dust is terribly addictive, doncha know?  And once you get it in your lungs, it's kinda hard to live without it.
We'll see how this time goes.  And if nobody buys them, I guess I will really quit making them, cause I already have about 50 horns in my collection and don't really need any more.  Any more would just be bragging.

Only 50?!!! my problem with horns is every time I make one for myself it's like making a new bag for me, I make them,  wear them to a shoot or rondy and somebody winds up buying the damn thing off my back, you know you have more Beavs bags than I do, I guess it's  only fair considering I'm still shooting out of an OC bag I bought 30 years or so back!

The Boss Lady's tuit list is finally whittled down so it's time to get back at it, have a dozen frizzen stalls cut out and ready to stitch, will start that tonight while watching the tube, headed out to the shop when I log off I've sold more of the turned measures and need to restock various grains so I'll be making shavings and sawdust today, what's everybody else doing?
