Thread: Sausage and Smoke Cooking

Some ends and pieces left from some belly I turned into bacon..Tastes as good as the big pieces although a few might have to be used in some beans.

I loosely based it on the recipe you gave Roy but the brown sugar added a lot!

Did you substitute the Brown Sugar for the White Sugar gram for gram?

Thank you but please don't 'Sir' me------------I was an enlisted man in the service------------I worked for a living

My dad was stationed on the USS Valley Forge 45 and he used to say that you could put every Admiral in the Navy on a Battleship and they couldn't take it out of port.

BUT! If you filled it full of Chief Petty Officers----they could sail her around the world. Damn I miss that cantankerous old fart.

None Taken! It's my everyday come back when people call me 'Sir'. It's like my second Store Manager when someone would call him 'Mister Anderson' he'd say--

"Mister Anderson lives in Lewiston ID, my name's Bret".

To me being called Sir is a sign of age.

The older I get the more it seems to happen!

Unless you happen to be in an establishment with armed forces personnel in uniform. They are unfailingly polite and respectful. I enjoy that even though I hate being called sir and my wife detests being called ma’am. Makes us feel old.

I haven't served in the armed forces so I have no experience there.

But in my everyday conversations with someone older than I am how am I suppose to act?

Many times I see someone is "lost" and 70 or 80 in our building and I ask "Can I help you Sir or Mam".

Many times I leave out the Sir or Mam and maybe that is the way to go?

We got told that if some one asks us for help or thanks us we should not say "No problem" because that insults some people.
