    Vodka (and other liquor) Question

    This is not knowledge in as much as instinct, when you move to Kentucky you are required to trade in your front teeth for mason jars.

    Iv'e got boneless chuck & DH doesn't like it~ now what?

    Neither of which are healthy for man nor beast, except sea monkeys and brine shrimp. Each species has it own natural feeding schedule, a humming bird eats more often then a snake and both would perish if deviated from. Humans because of their so called intellect cause more harm then good to...

    XPC's Birthday.

    No way - it looks like the lady who made it glued her armpit shavings to a female doll as a mustache. I just cut my beard off and could make a thousand of those $70 Chucky's.

    Uses for salt

    I only read the first page and not the other 14,000 uses. Some I knew others were new, a few were just plain wrong like mixing a paste to patch holes in the wall - that may work for a week or so until you move out of the apartment and get your security deposit back but cake frosting works good...

    Iv'e got boneless chuck & DH doesn't like it~ now what?

    Most days I pick enough food out of my teeth to feed all of Ethiopia but give it to my dogs instead as they at least try to fertilize the yard and grow things rather then waiting for rice to drop from the sky. Ever since BBH turned me on to the pokey pot of pulled pork every time I smile it...

    Vodka (and other liquor) Question

    Potatoes were used out of abundance and not for want as it was very time consuming and needed 100 pounds to make a gallon, way too much work. Grain vodka is the standard fair as it is cheap and easy, sugar head is even easier and the cheapest. A moonshiner often calls this white dog. Unlike...

    Quick Q about baking soda

    Baking soda as mentioned before can last several +years, if you can keep a box that long. I put mine in zip lock bags to keep the humidity out. When I buy baking powder, cornstarch, and the such I transfer them immediately to a sealed glass container. If you don't use the soda that often do the...

    What do you do to cut costs, when you have done all you can?

    Remember this was in 1993 and also had a special full time bean counter just for that purpose. The company was paid $750 and I only got $100 of it. I don't know if it was a company rule or IRS but certain expenses under say $30 did not need a receipt but since I had a fancy electronic receipt...

    What do you do to cut costs, when you have done all you can?

    I also traveled extensively for 5 years, only home 2 weekends a month if lucky. Flying weekly to exotic farming communities all over our land as I repaired and installed automated dairy and cheese making equipment. The pace is quite tiresome and before quitting implemented a few money saving...

    Iv'e got boneless chuck & DH doesn't like it~ now what?

    I did exactly that, made a 3lb last week and a 2lb one the other day and am still eating on it. After 8 hours it is easy to pull apart and goes nicely in a taco shell with the rest of the fixings. I used 8oz of medium salsa that has a kick to it and came out perfect. I read about it somewhere...

    This is what I have BEEN saying!!!!!

    If I had the means to get a polar bear rug or mount I would have one here tomorrow. The chicken little alarmists tend to overreact, the earth is very dynamic and has been ever changing for billions of years - either humans will adapt and overcome or simply become extinct and make room for...

    They were all funny except for the six racist ones which I did not appreciate.

    What are you DEHYDRATING today?

    Remember you have to get to 160F quickly (inside temp) so as not to spawn more bugs for when the food does wake up it starts from where it left off. We used double plate heat exchangers with counter-flow, in the dairy business "LAW" lockouts and seals had to monitor milk runs at 161F for 16...

    Coolest idea for favorite cookbooks!

    I have a spiral binding machine but never thought about doing what you did, the last electrical code book cost me an extra $80 to do just that. It was put in a nice 3 ring binder though

    How to start a sour dough starter

    I looked it up and sour dough with 4 ingredients is too much work, I would prefer to get my California marijuana card and just deal with hemp like most of the people on this forum.
