    deer neck

    I have never had great succes with neck meat and think its tough. It cans well but juice gets thick like it does in span from tendons melting. Probably best and most tender. I have marinated in ACV to tenderize a day and into a tied roast and good the first day and tough the second. Just made...

    Planning ahead - Upgrade to Sausage Making Equipment

    I went with LEM as the #12 and 25# mixer. Grinder acts as a motor too. The #12, IMO, is more than most home use people need. I have ground 1/2 a pig and multiple deer with mine. I can cut the neck into 1" square strips 12" to 15" long and just drop them in the throat and off it goes. #22 would...

    Crackers

    How are you baking the same bread dough as crackers? Aren't they going to be more like Pita bread from rising?

    Crackers

    Anyone making crackers? I harvested 50# of rye seed. Research i read how it is needing mixed with wheat to not be so dense for bread. Maybe I'll like that?? I was thinking if it makes dense bread. Maybe i should make crackers for eating Braunschweiger on?

    Milk cow - holstein ground beef

    My daughters BF is friends with some milk farmers. They had a cow "go down" probably bad hip and they were just going to shoot it and push into the compost pile. He lifted it onto his trailer and took it to the butcher. They processed it and I got to say if some of the best ground meat I have...

    Storing Cabbage experiment

    Well, should be a no oxygen environment. Would anyone blink if I stored them whole in a root cellar? Its a test, as I said, worst case I added to the compost pile. Best case I learn something new. Or to not do that again. :emoji_wink:

    Storing Cabbage experiment

Romaine is all trying to seed up now so will go to compost if not saved, Might try some too. Its going to waste and might as well try it. Fermentation occurs by using up...

    Storing Cabbage experiment

    I chopped two heads of cabbage from the garden and put in an 11" vacuum bag and dropped a O2 absorber on top and sealed them. Sitting them on a shelf and I am figuring the lack of oxygen will prevent it going bad. I don't have a root cellar and stored in the utility room in the basement in the...
