The recipe for chili varies widely over the U.S. Chili in San Antonio is significantly different from chili in Cincinnati. I think the problem only comes when we apply a label to the dish. If we just call each of these varying dishes "grub" and ask if they taste good we would probably find...

Thanks. I kind of thought it was something like that. I was not sure since I had read that they usually carried anywhere from 10 to 14 apostles. The number 12 was not consistent but I guess it was common enough to give rise to the name "Apostles".

Does anyone know why the powder containers that were carried on a bandolier were called "Apostles"?

Yep, it's like the man who kissed a pig and liked it said "To each his own." :haha:

The thickness of a patch is the most important consideration. As long as it is just a little bit larger than what you have been using, it will make no difference. As for lube, there are so many different lube recipes that you can use about any natural animal or vegetable oil or grease. Some...

It is called "chicken fried" simply because it is fried in the same manner as fried chicken. But, you are free to call it whatever you wish. As Shakespeare said "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"

I have cooked venison this way many times. It is about my favorite way of fixing venison steaks. I mix flour, salt and pepper and put it in one pan. Then I mix eggs with water in a ratio of 1 tablespoon of water to each egg and put that in another pan. In a third pan, I put Panko crumbs. If...

The location of the touch hole could possibly be a problem. The touch hole should be in what is called the "sunset" position. That is, centered front to rear on the pan and centered with a line drawn across the top of the pan. The size of the hole could also be a problem. The touch hole...

We have a wild grape here in Texas that is called a Muscadine grape. They are quite tasty but the skin has something in it that makes it rather tart and can, if you eat enough, irritate your lips. But, they are very tasty. My grandmother used to make a pie with them but she harvested them...

After having read all of the recipes and comments on beans, I just had to have some for my supper. It was almost noon and too late to soak the beans and cook them in the usual manner for supper that night. So, I did something that I have never done....I cooked them in a pressure cooker and...

For many years I have used a straight line capper that I bought at the Ted Cash booth on one of my many trips to Friendship. I use it when I shoot from a bench or when I am hunting or shooting a woods walk and loading from a bag. At such times as I am loading from my bag, I wear the capper...

To find out if it is you or the gun, have an experienced flintlock shooter shoot your gun from a solid bench rest. If he is getting a good group, the problem is you. :shocked2: If he is getting a poor group from the bench rest, then it is time to work on a load that your gun likes...

Removing a lock is not at all difficult. Nothing is going to jump out at you. You will have to remove the barrel so that the lock will be free from the side of the barrel. To remove the barrel, first remove the ram rod. Next tap out the wedge key. Now your barrel should be free to be lifted...

All of the waxes mentioned by other posters are all good waxes and will protect your gun. However, I believe the absolute best wax is Renaissance wax. Here is a video that is about Renaissance wax use on guns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OZagOg2Bek

[/url] Mmmmmm.....Yum-O! I love beans and I live alone and don't have to worry about any social problems with eating beans. I'm 76 years old and soon to turn 77....so many delicious recipes and so little time.

Sure sounds good but I would have to figure out how to make it in batches that are appropriate for home use rather than these huge batches intended for feeding a gaggle of school kids.

You can prime with whatever you are using to load your gun, you don't need 4f for your pan. it's good if you have it but if you don't, just use whatever you have in your horn. The difference in ignition time is infinitesimal. As for your friend's technique for grinding 3f or 2f into a fine...

The patch serves three basic functions. First, it provides a seal around the ball to prevent the hot gasses from escaping around the ball. Secondly, it keeps the ball from touching the inside of the bore and leaving lead deposits along with the fouling. And thirdly, it provides a means of...

The story of you riding the oxen back to the house and feeling like you were in charge of them getting back sort of reminds me of a description I once heard describing our elected officials in Washington. He said it was like watching a bunch of ants on a log being swept along in the current of...

I wash my fabric and then rip it into strips that I then cut into patches or sometimes cut at the muzzle. Before washing your fabric, use a sewing machine to sew around the cut edges to prevent raveling. If you don't do this, the fabric will ravel in the washing machine and get all tangled up...
