    Oxygen Absorber Question

    I found this info. They apparently make several different 504 adsorbers but you should be able to identify it by the sachet size. If in doubt then assume it to be the lesser adsorbing capacity just to be safe.

    It sounds Offal-ly good to me!

    My favorite is chicken gizzards marinated in Cornell chicken marinate and grilled until the edges are crispy and bubbling. Give me a plate of gizzards, some potato salad and a beer. I'll be very happy. Beef and deer heart are real good. Don't like liver or livermush.

    The Civil War Began...

    It is my opinion that the American Civil War was perpetrated for economic reasons. The North was "mined out" in regard to easily acquired resources. They were used up in expanding industry. The South was ripe for the picking, being rather sparsely populated and resource rich. Using the issue...

    Disposable VS Non-disposable RAZORS

    I have both a Safety Razor and a Mach 3 with the disposable heads. I picked up the Safety Razor at the flea market 20 years ago for about $5. I use both. A Mach 3 head will last me about 2 months if I shave every day. The trick is to rinse it well and thoroughly dry the cartridge on a towel...

    Stuff you had no clue was edible...

    Blackberry, strawberry and rose leaf tea are not too bad. Weak flavor but nice and no caffeine. Those darned wild onions that grow in my yard - been told they are good in small quantities. supposed to have a pretty strong flavor. Lilac flowers. Just read they are edible. Hope they taste as...

    pressure cooker/canner question

    Oh no, not smooshie. I find it easier to can meat than to can veggies or pickles. You don't have to sterilize the jars before hand. I usually raw pack the meat after cutting it into bite sized cubes, top it off with a little water (or broth), add warmed lids + rings and can it for the...

    pressure cooker/canner question

    It isn't recommended that you can anything in a pressure cooker. Pressure cookers do not have the water capacity for running at pressure more than 20 to 40 minutes before they will run dry. They are only good for pressure cooking roasts and such. A pressure canner is a totally different than...

    Am I weird?

    I love the smell of a line dried towel in the morning... It smells like Victory! :old You know your addicted when you have more than one clothesline. I have a pulley line off the back porch and a 25 foot long 5 line T-pole system in the back yard that dates back to the 40"s.

    Grain free cats, equals shed free!

    If I start eating Taste of the Wild then my hair will stop falling out? Wonder if it will grow some back too. Seriously, carnivores should not eat grains. It's really bad for their entire body.

    Food Grade Buckets.

    I use buckets purchased in the paint section at Walmart. I share the opinion that as long as Mylar is used as a liner then the bucket does not need to be USDA food safe. Since sealed Mylar bags do not allow the passage of oxygen then all of the larger plasticizer molecules should also be...

    "My Wife is an Animal Lover"

    I guess I'm old school. Pets sleep in the den or at the foot of the bed. Everything outside is cook pot eligible.

    Kid food

    I would start by making the food you give to them look like what they were getting before. Wholesome soup to replace the Ramen & Mrs. Grass. Homemade spaghetti, goulash or ravioli to replace the Spaghettios. Baked chicken cut into "fingers" with honey mustard or tomato dipping sauce to...

    Cosmetic Enhancement

    I hate it when I see some lady's tattooed eyeliner pulled half way up her forehead. Having to put Vaseline on your corneas every night because your eyes won't shut anymore. Eyebrows are meant to be above your eyes not up by your hairline. Ever see that movie Brazil?

    I need an education on grinding meat

    Partially frozen meat is the best to grind. If your meat has lots of natural juices then some will be released when you grind it. I put my assembled grinder in the freezer for about a half hour so that it stays very cold during the grinding process. This helps keep more moisture in the meat...

    Trying new foods.....maybe.

    I like Andrew Zimmerman. Sometimes he does eat things that would make me vomit, like durian fruit. I particularly wouldn't eat black pudding / blood sausage. Casu marzu (maggot cheese) is definitely out. Haggis isn't bad if you like oatmeal. Rattle snake is down right tasty. Worms taste a...

    Pork fat rules! Freemotion drools! More ideas, please...

    Any food tastes better fried in lard. Okra, squash and onion rings are favorites around here. You also can fry fish then chips in lard and the flavors don't transfer.
