The Tip is 'Keep eyes open' After reading an article about items made in America I thought about how many times I make purchases without thinking. I'm usually focused on budget and needs. Prior to reading this article on made in the USA products, I rarely thought about the importance of buying made in USA products. This helps create jobs in our country. Now I keep my eyes open and I am surprised how easy it is to find American products. It only takes a few seconds to look. Now I make a point when I am shopping to search for made in America brands. By doing so, I'm able to identify more and more what products are made in America. Even with my eyes open to made in USA I can get discouraged. Sometimes store clerks don't know the country of origin which can be frustrating. If this happens use your eyes to find the origin information yourself. Look at the labels and when you find a Made in USA product tell the clerk so the next time they are asked they will know. Also, when the label is not easily seen I use the other made in America buying tips to help me find made in USA. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. When enough people are asking for made in the USA products, more stores will begin to carry products that are made here. This technique does work. I also pick and choose the stores I visit. I do this because I have found that some stores are made in America friendly while others are not. Keep your eyes open for the made in USA label and pretty soon you will be able to identify which products are made in the USA. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Kentuckys Smokin Grill A Backyard BBQ Tradition Kentucky's Smokin' Grill started in 1973 as a family picnic and barbecue for a 4th of July celebration. Over a period of about 10 years, our cookouts went from family picnic events to a growing hobby that blossomed into a part-time business. Kentucky BBQ in the Good Ol' Days Dave perfecting some barbecue pork During the early years, we tried various available BBQ sauces. Some of them were acceptable as is, some needed a little attention, and some were beyond help. We wanted to find the perfect BBQ sauce. We didn't want one with an overbearing vinegar twang and we didn't want one with a thin consistency (that stuff just slides off into the bottom of the grill when you add a little heat). We DID want a tasty sauce, smooth and pleasant so an individual wouldn't tire of it. Addictive is a good thing in barbecue sauce. Trust us on that! If You Want Something Done Right? Try as we might to find that perfect sauce prepackaged in a jar or bottle, we were unsuccessful. On a brighter note, the search (and a little desperation) finally lead us to our own refrigerator, and our spice cabinet, and on to our stove top. The original recipe, mixed and served on a ?Derby Day' many years ago, is the same recipe that you will find in every jar of our Original Kentucky's Smokin' Grill Concentrate sauce today! The Hard Part: Pinning Down the Magic The toughest job during the final stages of developing the perfect BBQ sauce was to come up with a standard formula for production. ?A touch of this' and ?a bit of that' doesn't translate well into a refined recipe. Until then, we thought eye of newt was only in witches' brew! (Just a little recipe humor for you). No Compromises! Once we perfected our recipe, we didn't want to make changes that would lower the quality of our creation in any way. We made the hard decision that if our production recipe required the addition of vinegar or preservatives to achieve an acceptable shelf life, we would not market our sauce! When had the sauce tested for production, It qualified for extended shelf life right off the top of the stove. Much to our surprise, the sauce needed no modification! So, you see, it was meant to be ? and the Kentucky's Smokin' Grill legend was born and packaged up to share with the world. Now, Go Get Your Own! Today, you can have your very own jar (or case ? or many cases!) of our Kentucky's Smokin' Grill Concentrate barbecue sauce. We offer the Original Kentucky's Smokin' Grill Concentrate, A Spicy version for those who want a little more heat, and our Too Hot For You variety for those whose palate prefers a little pain. You can order online now, or pick up a few jars at a retailer near you. We also offer our Grand Reserve Spiced Honey Mustard for mustard connoisseurs and those who prefer a different type of spicy in their cookery. - See more at: http://www.kentuckysmokingrill.com/history/#sthash.ZAeBbf79.dpuf |
