    Sourdough Starter Discard Cinnamon Rolls

    I made some last Sunday from a different recipe. Didn't turn out as good as I had hoped. Might try this one next.

    If it wasn't for Bad Luck

    :emoji_grimacing: Un-effing-believable.

    Cutworms killing my pepper seedlings, 50 plants killed so far, HELP!

    In my area, the problem critters are slugs and snails. They'll take out a tomato patch in nothing flat. Probably too hot down there for those?

    First Hot Smoked Bacon

    Are there any Costcos near you? They routinely carry skin-off pork bellies.

    New Weber purchases plan backfiring

    That's how I got my first Weber kettle. Guy was deploying, and had to sell. I really sympathized with him, but I got a lot of use out of it. When I got my Weber Performer, I sold it to another enthusiast who said he collected them, and had over 30 of them ranging back to the originals. Pretty...

    What are you watching ?

    I ended up doing the same. Commercials were driving me crazy after a while.

    RIP Val Kilmer

    Saddened to hear the news. Who'll be our huckleberry, now? I highly recommend his auto-documentary "Val". It's narrated mostly by his son, as Val could barely speak at that point.

    Freezer space

    That's what sucks living in an apartment right now. I can't take advantage of a good meat sale, because I have maybe 1-1/2 cubic feet of freezer space. I miss my old stand up freezer.

    Favorite widely available bourbon or whiskey

    I just picked up some Green River Barrel Strength bourbon and Wheated bourbon. That's something that I hadn't seen in this area before. I've heard they're good; decent price points, too.

    What are you watching ?

    Mine is him sitting on his couch with a beer in his hand, and saying, "Right now, if a clown invited me into the woods, I'd just go."

    Liquid smoke or no liquid smoke?

    I seem to recall that there was an episode of Good Eats with Alton Brown, where he showed how to make your own liquid smoke. I don't have access to a smoker right now, so I will use it in a pinch. It's definitely not the same, but better than nothing. It sure does smell up my kitchen, though.

    NY strips can't do, is it just me?

    I'm temporarily in an apartment, until something better opens up in my price range. No deck or patio here.

    NY strips can't do, is it just me?

    Get a strip loin when they have them on sale in December, and throw it into an Umai bag for 30 days. After that, trim and cut it up into steaks. They will seem firm, but when cooked, they're tender as all get out. Here are a couple I pan seared this week. (Still don't have access to a grill yet...

    What are you watching ?

    I'm really getting into Dark Winds right now. It's about a tribal police officer investigating some supernatural murders and an armored car heist on the Navajo reservation in 1971. I have a good friend who is Navajo (Diné), and she says the Native American actors are butchering the Diné language.
