I ordered and received one last week. Might try an use it out at the lake in the next week or so. Been moving into new house this week and it would hurt to much to try and cook at the moment. Lifting a beer is about all I can muster tonight.
Mark Flowers explains how to make your own disco (for cooking, not dancing)
1. Get the materials: One disc harrow blade (go to www.tractorsupply.com and search for "Grizzly Stallion Blade Plain 20 in.”; one 1.25"x 1.25" seven ga piece of steel; and two 3/8" diameter x 4” wide square "U" bolts.
2. Cut the small piece of steel to fit the square hole in the disc. Weld that piece into the hole.
3. Weld the “U” bolts on opposite sides of the underside (the convex side) the disc to serve as handles.
4. Grind away the rough edges of the welds so that the interior of the disc and the underside of the disk are smooth.
5. Sandblast the disc to remove the remant black paint. (I don't have a sandblaster, so I took my disc to “Nipco” a machine shop here in Odessa. They didn’t charge me. When I offered to pay, they said, “Hell, that didn't take but a minute, besides, I wouldn't feel right charging you to strip your disc.” Mighty neighborly, I thought.
7. Season it like I’m sure your grandmother did her cast-iron skillet. Cook with it over a gas flame.
I love Carne Adovado. It's not something we ever see here in Northern California, but, of course, I've lived in and visited New Mexico and find it there. Tell me Don, what you have in your parts uses New Mexico Reds instead of Anchos?
I have a recipe I've cooked that came from an old Frugal Gourmet cookbook. It gets the job done, but it doesn't have cilantro in it and I like the sound of that. I just happen to have 2 lbs of boneless country ribs in the fridge right now and it can be made into adovado very easily.... Hmmm.....
Which recipe from which cookbook? I think we have all of them, the dirty b-tard.
My Cousin really guards his recipe, but I did get that out of him (Red) ... we have it every year for breakfast (more like brunch)at the family reunion.
