DC , smelled like Smoke ?

12 years ago

Went to the PO today and picked up 2 Packages.

The PO woman asked if I was burning Leaves, said I smelled like Smoke.

One larger package was the Food Processor ,I ondered from Amazon.

*********************

Dcarch:

Sent the other smaller Package. It smelled like Garlic.

The PO Clerk verified, that is what she smelled.

Had to open it there.

This is what I found !!!

DC:

I generally rather give gifts, than recieve them.

Have to make an exception in this case.

The smell is making me Hungry !!!

Thanks for a great Gift.

Nice gift! Haven't seen anyone report back on what they're doing with the black garlic and if they like it. Hello out there?!?

Today I'm doing a trial run of the filet mignon I plan on serving for Christmas dinner. I'm going to incorporate black garlic into the duxelles which will be served on the beef. Not the linked recipe, but very similar in concept.

Here is a link that might be useful: black garlic filet mignon

White smoke, oil smells like gasoline

"The only problem I see is you need to mow more frequently" Yep, I agree. I had let the grass grow for over three weeks until I had the chance to address the mower issue. A section in the backyard had grown to about 10 inches high. I probably missed mowing this the last time out. "How is the Oil consumption ? Any noticeable exhaust smoke during your cutting especially when you encountered the taller sections of grass ?" First restart after adding new oil the exhaust blew white smoke for about 2 minutes. I cut grass for over an hour and did not notice anymore smoke even after a few more restarts. After coool down I checked oil level and it was down from "full" to "add oil". I added a few more ounces to bring level to full. I am curious to see if this will happen again next week. As far as testing compression, I will try again next week. Is it absolutely necessary to test compression when engine is at normal operating temperature? The last test I did I cranked the engine for about 5 seconds, the guage read 60 psi. I left the guage on for 5 minutes to see if the psi would drop, but it held consistant. I was thinking that if I did not have the tool connected securely, that the psi would have dropped over the 5 minute span. Thanks for the help!!!

Did you get a hint of skunk later on? My dog was sprayed by a skunk so close that you could see the stuff on her fur. It smelled like burning hair. But, later, you could definitely smell skunk! My neighbor's dog had the same thing happen. They have a doggy door and were awakened during the night by the odor. The husband even went up into the attic trying to find what was burning. They thought it might have been an electrical fire.

Spent the week-end camping with 29 Brownies and four teenagers (plus four of us leaders). Everything I own smells like campfire LOL! Even though I showered and wore fresh clothes, somebody at work said I still smell like campfire. It's my SHOES! And my bra, but we won't tell them that ROFL! Dances.

Smell of Smoke in the House

Is your water heater a gas unit? Your furnace? If it is, I might have a solution since my first house had this similar problem. I am also an electrician and I believe your problem is not electrically related. On windy days, I would encounter a downdraft through my chimney and through the hood of my gas water heater. Two problems here - occasional burning smell AND carbon monoxide. Make sure there is a functioning carbon monoxide detector in the areas of the house where you spend most of your time. If you call the fire department and/or the local gas utilities, they can check for elevated CO2 levels. These burning odors I encountered in my first house were in the colder months when I operated my upstairs fireplace and the damper remained open. Please let us know what you find!

Yikes, FOAS! That's the same site & recipe I've got copied for us to try. I can't get DH enthused about it. He thinks it's more complicated than he's willing to tackle. I'm working on him though...

Anxious to hear about your trial run. Also saw a Chopped show last night using black garlic combined with raspberries for a sauce. I thought that looked interesting. We've got lots of freeze-dried raspberries so that might be a possibility.

Saw the Chopped show last night, too, and it was the first time I'd ever heard of black garlic. Guess I've been living in the dark. Also guess I need to get some and try out it out in an appropriate recipe. I've got raspberries in the freezer.

Aren't you special!

I'm glad I finally opened this thread--I thought it was going in a totally different direction!

Lou,

I hope you will enjoy them. Black garlic is delicious, as well as great for health.

Use them regularly, you will be eating very well and very healthy.

You may not need those red pills, purple pills, blue pills ---- :-)

Wow, that's a great gift. I too, would like to hear what people are using this black garlic for. What is the process for making it? Dcarch do you know?

Tricia - Turned out great although I'd say I used to much garlic in the duxelles (roughly six to a half pound of mushrooms) so I'm glad I did the trial run and know to cut back. Again, I didn't follow that recipe but it was quite similar.
