Re: [CnD] introducing myself

[Steve Stewart via Cookinginthedark]

any kind of recipes, and you can ask any questions that have to do with 
cooking. if you have something that does not have any thing to do with 
cooking, then you need to put the letter o t for off topic. before you do 
that, you need to ask me the moderator.

Re: [CnD] Smokers

[Carlos Taylor via Cookinginthedark]

I have a MasterBuilt electric smoker.  It has a digital control panel, but it 
only has 5 buttons.  I have the same smoker Dale Campbell has.  Check out 
episode 238 of Cooking In The Dark.  He does a very good job of explaining how 
it works.

 That's nice.  I don't have room for a lot of stuff in my kitchen.
 But that's OK.
 I am glad that you like your smoker.

 I love my smoker. It is a Masterbuilt and I got it off of Amazon.
 Dale recommends it and has many recipes using it on Cooking in the
 Dark. You do not have to open the door to put chips in.

[juliette via Cookinginthedark]

Using a Braillabel sheet cut to exact size, then with a friend's help, lining 
the numbers on the Braillabel sheet with a pencil then brailling over the 
numbers, we were able to get the sheet over the numbers and some other 
abbreviations-the microwave, brand new Sharp (no speech) looks like it was 
professionally done. Cleans up very easily without worries about Dymo coming 
off. I have to say, it took over an hour to complete this project.
