Specially with the whiskey added in there.........(where's the lil eyebrow movin up n down emoticon when I need it?)
ty for the complement. I do like to cook, but one can always learn and sometimes the dogs are well fed when it don't work out .... lol.
I used Captain Morgan spiced rum as I didn't have whiskey on hand. But everbody really liked the sauce. It thickens as it simmers and I'll definitely make it again.

I do a similar BBQ sauce but with catsup (so it has some sugar):
1 cup catsup
1 - 2 T soy sauce
1 T honey
juice of 1/2 - 1 lime
1/8 - 1/2 t powdered red pepper
1 - 2 t oregano
salt
freshly ground pepper
My kids are mad for this. A bit spicy, a bit sour, a bit sweet and with a taste of "Eyetalian".
I wonder if I can try it with Jack Daniels and no lime juice?

Take a skillet full of cubed beef or deer meat and brown it real good on high heat. then add two cans of Rotel tomatoes and chilis, and one can of water. simmer covered on low heat for 45 minutes, take lid off and sprinkle in a little flour to thicken serve on hot flour tortillias with cold beer. This is a great camp recipe too as it is good for dinner or breakfast. Oh yeah salt to taste yummmm!!

1 8 oz. carton Strawberry Cool Whip
1 small package Cheesecake Instant Pudding, or Vanilla
1 small can mandarin oranges, drained
2 c. minature marshmallows
2 c. halved or quartered strawberries
Make the instant pudding according to the package directions.
Let it set up a bit, then add the Cool Whip.
Fold the mandarin oranges into the Cool Whip mixture, along with
the strawberries and marshmallows. Let set up a bit. Enjoy!
Really good!!!

Yea, I miss 'em too. I was time out from all the bickering that goes on.
Here is another recipe that I tasted at a graduation party.
Easy, and you can't believe how good it is.
Fry some sauasge, preferably Italian
1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1 can Rotella tomatoes with chilies
Melt together over low heat.
Add sausage.
MMMMMMMMMM
Get the little taco or scooper chips to dip.
This is rather soupy, so you do need some kind of chips
that will hold it.

Since it's rhubarb season, I thought I'd post a few of our favorites...They're easy and pretty tasty too...
Strawberry-Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake
1/4 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
2 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
1 package white or yellow cake mix
1 1/4 cups water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees (325 degrees for dark or non-stick pans.) Melt butter in 13x9x2 inch pan, in the oven. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter. Arrange strawberries evenly on brown sugar; sprinkle evenly with rhubarb. Press strawberries and rhubarb gently into brown sugar.
2. Beat cake mix, water, oil, and eggs in large bowl with electic mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter over strawberries and rhubarb.
3. Bake 45-55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately run knife around side of pan to loosen cake, and turn pan upside down onto heatproof serving plate; leave pan over cake 1 minute so brown sugar topping can drizzle over cake. Cool 30 minutes. Serve warn or cool.
High altitude: Heat over to 375 degrees. Stir 1 tablespoon flour into dry cake mix. Use 2 tablespoons oil.
We think this is great with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!
Rhubarb Pie
1 recipe Pastry for Single Crust Pie (I'm sure you have your favorite!)
1 recipe Crumb Topping
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 cups fresh or frozen rhubarb, sliced, unsweetened
1. Prepare and roll out pastry for crust. Line 9 inch pie plate with the pastry. Prepare Crumb Topping (recipe follows,) set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees (thanks HY!!!)
2. In a large bowl stir together sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add rhubarb. Gently toss until coated. (If using frozen fruit, let mixture stand for 45 minutes or until fruit is partially thawed but still icy.)
3. Transfer rhubarb mixture to pastry-lined pie plate. Sprinkle Crumb Topping over filling.
4. Bake for 45 minutes or until topping is golden and filling in center is bubbly. Cool on wire rack.
Crumb Topping: Cream together 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 3 tablespoons butter. Stir in 1/2 cup flour, until mixture resembles coarse crumbles.
Variation:
Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie
Substitute 3 cups rhubarb with 3 cups strawberries.
This is awesome warm with Vanilla Ice Cream...
I hope you enjoy these as much as Mr. TTB...

Orange-Glazed Flank Steaks
Marinade:
2/3 C dry red wine
1/2 C fresh orange juice (we use frozen)
1/3 C fresh lime juice (we use bottled)
1/2 C honey
1/4 C cider vinegar
1/4 C soy sauce
2 T mild olive oil
1 1/2 t minced garlic
1 t finely grated orange zest
1 t Tabasco sauce
1/2 t ground cumin
1/2 t dried thyme, crumbled
1/4 t freshly ground black pepper
2 beef fland steaks (2 lbs each), marinated in marinade overnight
To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a shallow 14-inch glass baking dish and stir until the honey is dissolved. Add the flank steaks and turn to coat with the marinade. Cover and refridgerate overnight.
Bring the steaks to room temperature. Prepare coals for grilling or preheat the broiler. Drain the steaks, reserving the marinade. Place the marinade in a large skillet and bring to boil over high heat. Continue boiling until the liquid is syrupy and mahogany-colored, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. (There should be 1 C of glaze)
Brush the glaze on both sides of the steaks. Grill or broil the steaks 4 inches from the heat until nicely glazed, about 5 min. Turn and grill or broil 5 minutes longer for medium-rare steaks. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before carving.
Transfer the steaks to a cutting board. If you broiled the steaks, reserve any pan drippings. Holding a sharp knife at a 45 degree angle, cut the steaks across the grain into thin slices. Transfer the meat to a warmed platter, top with the pan drippings, and serve immediately.
You can use round steak, too - those of you who buy your meat it's alot cheaper

Watermelon Salsa
1/4 C fresh lime juice
2 T (packed) golden brown sugar
3 C chopped seeded watermelon
1 C chopped seeded honeydew melon or cantaloupe
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, chopped
1/2 C chopped red onion
1/4 C chopped fresh mint

2 T minced seeded jalapeno chilies
Whisk lime juice and sugar in large bowl until sugar dissolves. Add watermelon and all remaining ingredients; toss gently. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Cover and chill). Makes about 4 C.
