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!

Dinner Recipe: Pork Chop Piccata with Spaghetti
Servings: 4
Food Network ~ Step by Step
Use pork chops to prepare this updated take on your favorite chicken dish. To cut down on time, toss broccoli florets into boiling water for the last few minutes of the spaghetti cooking.
Recipe by: Food Network magazine
-
Ingredients:
- Kosher salt
- 8 ounces spaghetti
- 4 cups broccoli florets, halved or quartered if large (8 ounces)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- Freshly ground pepper
- 4 bone-in pork chops (1/2 inch thick; about 6 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons drained jarred capers
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs for al dente, adding the broccoli in the last 2 minutes of cooking. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and broccoli and return to the pot. Add 1 tablespoon butter, 2 tablespoons parsley, the lemon zest and a big pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir well, adding the reserved cooking water as needed to loosen.
- Meanwhile, season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Dust with the flour, shaking off any excess. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until well browned and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Carefully add the wine to the skillet, scraping up the browned bits from the pan. Cook until reduced by about half, then stir in the lemon juice and capers; return to a simmer. Remove from the heat and swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons each butter and parsley until the butter is melted. Pour in any accumulated juices from the plate of pork. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
- Divide the spaghetti and broccoli among plates and top each serving with a pork chop. Spoon the sauce on top.

Dessert Recipe: Mini Strawberry Rhubarb Pavlovas
Servings: 4
Food Network Magazine ~ Step by Step
If you're looking for a simple-yet-impressive dessert for spring entertaining, this is it. Each individual element is a breeze to make and both the meringue shells and fruit topping can be made in advance, leaving you with little to do when your guests arrive.
Recipe by: Food Network Magazine
-
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup sugar (100 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch (1.25 grams)
- 2 egg whites (70 grams)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (1 gram)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (2.5 milliliters)
- 1 cup quartered strawberries
- 1 cup chopped rhubarb
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine or water (30 milliliters)
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, divided (50 grams plus 12.5 grams)
- 1 up 35% ream (250 milliliters)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 milliliters)
- 2 tablespoons toasted slivered almonds
- Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch and set aside.
- Wipe a metal, glass or ceramic bowl out with paper towel and add in the egg whites and salt. Using a hand mixer, whip the egg whites on high until soft, foamy peaks form. With the mixer running, slowly sprinkle in the sugar mixture and continue to whip until the meringue is glossy and stiff peaks hold when the beaters are lifted out of the mixture.
- Whip in the vanilla. Using a large spoon, drop four large dollops of the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, creating an indentation in the middle of each.
- Bake for 1 hour. Turn the oven off and allow the meringues to sit in the oven until cooled completely, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the strawberries and rhubarb in a small saucepan with the wine or water and 1/4 cup sugar. Place over medium-low heat and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fruit starts to break down and becomes jammy. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature. Cover and store in the fridge until ready to assemble.
- Just before serving, whip the cream with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and the vanilla. To serve, dollop whipped cream in the center of each pavlova and top with the fruit and a scattering of toasted almonds.
