Made those pork chops last night and they were great. Thanks. Who needs a cookbook when you have the PGCA forum.

Eric, have you been to Marty's in Danville?

And we had maple glazed salmon last night.

Was it cedar planked and maple glazed?

Yes I have been to Marty's .great meat counter. It is out of the way for me though. I have a great source locally for free range sides of highlander beef, chickens, ducks and Cornish hens, and eggs so I get spoiled that way.

That cedar planking is a gimmick and one of the places I had it used roofing shingles. I swear I tasted the fire retardant/preservative they're dipped in. I only do salmon on the grill.

we do this maple salmon often

but only when I don't do the whiskey salmon -(only with a Speyside single malt - none of that blended stuff) :whistle:

I sent my distant cousin, John Frierson, a quart of my maple syrup, and he kindly sent me back a quart of his strawberry moonshine. DAMN!!!! It's good.
Note the shiner sitting watch over his still with a Parker across his lap.
I'm just now calculating how much syrup I can get in a footlocker.

Edgar, you can get a lot more in the locker if you don't take the time to put it in the jugs.:biglaugh:

I want the return shine to be delivered in a '35 Ford Coupe.

With the jars of shine packed carefully in rags into several wooden Peter's ammo boxes...

Like the one I just loaded in the car to go to Baltimore.

Edgar, Are you bringing any of that famous Maple Syrup to Baltimore?

I would hate to pay the deposit on that delivery vehichle.
Edgar, how much do you want for that Peters shell crate? I've been looking for one of those.:corn:

$1,000,000.00

Yes, just pints.

:crying::crying::crying::cuss:

Paul, I may have one for you. I'll have to dig into some stuff first. pm me with your email address so I can send you a pic.

Edgar, Looking forward to visiting booth M-27 Saturday afternoon to meet you and procure a pint of your finest.:)

I am interested in the old leather washer handled knife at the top of the box. Is it for sale? What manufacturer is it?

Dennis

Dennis, that looks like an older Case XX circa 1960's knife to me. You can find a number of these on Ebay. Just search on 'Case Hunting Knives' and you'll find them. The sell on Ebay for $35+ depending on condition. You can also find many of them at local gun and knife shows. They were the classic American hunting knife through the 1960's.

I've got one that is a K Bar. Was my father inlaw's. Not quite as good shape as Edgar's. That's one hell of a knife.

I have 2 Case XX knives, one was my Dad's (I inherited it properly, oh yeah..) the other was my brothers that I appropriated (yes!). They're classic American hunting knives but and this is a big but, I have always felt that the steel they used in their blades for these knives was a bit too soft and they just don't hold an edge sharp very long. The K Bar knife is another knife altogether. Buck blades on their early american made knives will hold an edge well. There are other good classic American knives out there as well. Edgar probably uses that one to hack at his maple trees !

After all the stories I've heard about Eggar, I don't think I want to know what he does with it.:duck::rotf:

I was thinking possibly a Kabar as my mom worked there in Olean, NY in the 40's. I just saw it on the top of the box and it looked lonely. Possibly the owner would want to simply give it to me. If he would only want to give it to a family member I am available for adoption as I am an orphan.

There's a reason the Marines used the K-Bar in the Pacific during WWII.

And Viet Nam also.

Alright Edgar, sense I am the person that hijacked this thread,I thought it my job to put it back on track. I came home from work tonight and the house was full of wonderful smells, bacon frying and home made waffels. My wife bought a new waffle iron to make me dinner. Your syrup was on her mind with the purchase. Fresh waffles and bacon and your syrup, WOW. I don't know which is better, the syrup or the waffles. You make some great syrup. Thanks so much my friend. YumYum.:bowdown::bigbye::bowdown:
