My name is Randy and I live Pensacola Florida. I live in a food rich area with alot of great chefs and cooking styles around me. I am too old to become a chef or even to try to begin a careerer in the food industry. I am in the process of writting a cookbook. I am a biker and I always get elected into cooking for a crowd. I found this forum and feel definitly privlidged to be here among true professionals.

I bought one of these just for making osso buco. I found myself using it for a lot more than just that. I make tomato sauce in it, chili, any excuse I have to bust it out, I do. I absolutely...

One of my first internet knives. Great blade. I mean *great* but the handle was a bit weird. Right now it just sits at the bottom of my knife kit.

I've owned one of these for over 3 years now, using it daily. I've never had to sharpen (grind) it, just an occasional run along a fine steel, and it's held a wonderful edge for everyday prep....

Nice to meet you, Randy! Since you're a biker you'll enjoy reading Ara's posts in the Late Night Cafe forum. He's a chef on a quest across the country with his faithful dog, Spirit. What's your ride? I'm from Harley country myself but don't own one.
What do you enjoy cooking? Any dishes you're famous for? Tell us a bit about those ingredients you enjoy using.
We'll look forward to seeing you here often. Welcome!

I have 2 harleys. One is an 82 shovelhead with high ape hangers and the other is an 85 police special. I am famous around here for my chicken. Its BBQed and no one can figure out how I get it so moist and or the unique taste of it. I pre boil it in pure beer til its just about done and then I ad cajun seasoning, not the hot stuff with a light sprinkle of cinamon on it. Gives it a sweet spicy taste with the hops of beer..... I have had to make it a day ahead because people show up early just to see how I make it.....LOL My Mom taught me how to cook growing up and She passed away last year. I wish I had her write down her recipes for me, but I didnt think about it. So now I am on a quest to recreate some of her dishes. Its hard to do, cause she never really followed a recipe. She came from the days when you made due with what you had and somehow she ALWAYS made it great. Her saying was " Love is a free ingredient, you can never add too much". Thank you for the welcome and I look forward to learning alot from you all.

That's the secret ingredient in most foods, ya know? We always talk about the "hands of the cook"..you can get the same recipe but it always turns out different..
I think cooking not only has to do with the chemistry of the ingredients but also...in every dish, you tend to leave a little of your yourself behind!
