Artichokes appeared in my local market - first time in three years. Though they were jumbos, they were also $10 each!

I bought one.....

Wonderful visit to an English butcher

I just returned from a holiday in the UK where I was able to visit with a local butcher and champion sausage maker. What fun! I told him I was an amateur sausage maker looking for some tips and he spoke freely of processing tips, winning recipes, things to avoid, and was happy to show me every step ...

I have always wondered how anyone discovered that an artichoke could be eaten. My best guess has been survivors of a fire and searching for anything eatable. I guess a fire roasted artichoke could be peeled open and eaten. Early artichokes were also nothing like we have today. They were much, much ...

Though I live in Asia and spend about 25% of my time in China, you do have to be very aware of the quality of equipment you purchase from China. It's a huge country with every level of manufacturing quality imaginable. I'm leaving tomorrow for a month in China and will be visiting several meat proce...

Thanks Ross.

It's always interesting to see things like this. I wonder what the guy who made the first Model #10 manual grinder without a clamp, and called it a Model #12, would have to say about all this stuff today :)

The #10 comes with a screw clamp to hold it on the table and the #12 come with 4 feet that are to be bolted down. I read that on one site but it was a little unckear.

Not overly original. First initial of my first name and my last name.

A very early system manager in my career (early 1980s) thought The Witt was a very clever username and though I've never thought myself particularly witty, the handle did stick.
