    How to Fillet a Common Carp - video

    Since I LOVE making DIY videos, I thought I'd do one on filleting and scoring a common carp. Carp is delicious when cleaned correctly. The scoring process allows the bones to be 'cooked out'. Here's the vid for those who are interested. BTW.... I recommend doing the smaller ones for the...

    What's everyone's favorite thing to cook in an Air Fryer?

    We love our new Air Fryer. Wings come out perfect! We even put frozen wings in without thawing, and I couldn't believe how perfect they turned out. I though this was going to be a gimmick , but I do believe air fryers are here to stay. My mother-in-law even has one built-in to her stove.

    Homemade Venison Knockwurst

    This is my 'go-to' venison breakfast from now on. Sure.... you can eat it for lunch/dinner.....but I like to spear a chopstick in a link at work in the morning, and dip in mustard and eat it like a corndog.

    I thought this would be a good one to share since some of us rural folks have long lanes. I rarely ever hear anyone drive up, and don't know that someone is here until I hear the doorbell go off! Here's my DIY video on how to install the Mighty Mule Driveway Alarm. I love this thing, and wish...

    Refinishing an Old Hammer - Stacked Leather Handle

    My friend found his grandfather's old hammer. It was pretty rusty and the grip was rotted off. We refinished it so he could give it to his dad for Father's Day. We made a stacked leather grip for it. It turned out really nice!

    Canning Pickled Peppers

    I'm real excited about sharing this one. This turned out so good, that I'm planning my pepper plot around this recipe. Jimmy John's hot peppers are my inspiration for canning these. One thing that is nice about this recipe, is the fact that you can use ANY pepper. I like to take my peppers to...

    Plumbing Drain Pipes - DIY Video

    Saw the plumbing post, and I thought I share my plumbing video if anyone needed some guidance. I'm finishing my basement over the next couple of years, and have recently finished the bathroom. Enjoyed every minute of it. There's something satisfying about do it things yourself instead of...

    Canned Hot Peppers - pick'em RED!

    This year I waited until the majority of my peppers were red before I canned them. They definitely have a sweeter and richer flavor when done this way. The seranos were the best! first time I ever let them go red. I also dehydrated a bunch and sent them through the coffee grinder for some...

    Homemade Tangle-Free Trotline Organizer

    I've been on the river a lot over the summer, and threw a few tantrums over tangled trotlines. I think I've come up with a genius idea (if I say so myself)..... Been using this for the last half of the summer without any issues / tangles. Maybe this will help someone else......
