MGO NIPPLE WEATHER GUARDS:

*** Do not confuse them with "cap keepers"! ***
An air tight, weather tight cover that slips over an empty, uncapped #11 nipple, to seal it while traveling to/from your hunting area.
Made of flexible plastic.
Powder weakening moisture is barred by the tight fit of the Weather Guard. Your rifle will be ready to shoot in the morning. Just remove the Guard, cap and you are ready to fire. No silly need to unload every night!

This lube is made with actual bear oil! No gimmicks! Anyone else that sells a bear lube, normally fills the can with either paraffin or beeswax and adds a tiny bit of bear oil. We do not use any waxes, but a blend of our best selling anti rust ingredients and bear oil. This is a great COLD weather lube as well!

Recipe by: Veronica Weinkauf ~ South Bend, Indiana
-
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- Dash pepper
- 1 carton (15 to 16 ounces) soft farmer cheese or whole-milk ricotta cheese
- 1 to 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- Optional: sour cream and minced chives
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs, water and salt until blended; gradually stir in flour. Transfer to a lightly floured surface; knead 10-12 times, forming a firm dough. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
- For filling, in a small bowl, whisk egg, salt, sugar and pepper. Stir in cheese.
- Divide dough into 4 portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion to 1/8-in. thickness; cut with a floured 4-in. round cookie cutter. Place 1 tablespoon filling in center of each circle. Moisten edges with water; fold in half and press edges to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
- In a 6-qt. stockpot, bring water to a boil. Add pierogi in batches; reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until pierogi float to the top and are tender, 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Add pierogi in batches; cook until golden brown, 1-3 minutes on each side, adding additional butter as necessary. If desired, serve with sour cream and chives.

Dessert Recipe: Snickerdoodle Cheesecake
Servings: 16
Taste of Home ~ Step by Step Detailed Instructions
My maternal grandmother preferred sewing and quilting to cooking and baking, but there were some things that she cooked and baked really well. She was the only person I knew who made snickerdoodles, simple but yummy cookies that I've always enjoyed. Since cheesecake is my very favorite dessert, I couldn't resist coming up with one that re-creates those flavors. I think of my grandmother each time I make it! Sometimes I'll drizzle the slices with maple syrup.
