    Strong coffee

    I hit 60 earlier this year and also remember the "Ethyl" label on gas pumps. Also, a pump jockey filled your tank for you and checked the oil, etc, and washed your windshield while it was filling.

    Hopefully there was a bread truck nearby

    Bet a roach coach could have made killing selling hotdogs to everyone stuck in traffic.

    Wasn't as much about octane as it was about cushioning the valve seats to protect them from damage. That was the main reason for the lead in gasoline back in the day. It was also an anti-knock agent, as you said, though.

    Redneck Fajita Salad!

    Definitely salad, definitely a redneck way to go about it, and definitely delicious, I bet!

    Strong coffee

    On a side note, I use an Ozark Trail 20oz. stainless tumbler like this one for my coffee. I only wash it 3 or maybe 4 times a year. The wife thinks it's gross, but I think the buildup of coffee oils on the interior add to the overall flavor of the coffee. I rinse off the lid and sealing...

    To me, dark roasts are fuller bodied. Light and medium roasts taste watered down by comparison.

    For Keurig users, this is the best one I found for using your own ground coffee. It does require paper filters made for it, but they are pretty cheap. Best pod for using your own coffee I ever found when we were using a Keurig.

    Strong coffee

    I usually go with a heaping tablespoon per cup, which mostly fills the basket in our drip coffee maker for 8 cups. You can't stand a spoon up in a cup but it's strong enough for our liking when using a dark roast.

    Anything labelled as "French Roast", Dark Roast", or "Espresso Blend" does it for me and the wife. As I understand it, the dark roasts actually have less caffeine than the light roasts. We still prefer the bold flavor of the dark roasts over the, maybe more caffeine, with the light "Breakfast"...

    Amount Of Sodium In Cured Meat

    I'm not much of a salter unless it's on fresh tomatoes or potatoes in any form. Those have to have salt. Other than that, I don't salt anything on my plate. I find 1.75% (0.25% cure#1 + 1.5% non-iodized salt) total salt in cured meat to be about perfect for my taste. YMMV though

    Amount Of Sodium In Cured Meat

    What I end up with is 1.75% total salt in my cured bacon. 0.25% cure #1 1.5% salt 0.75% sugar John @Fueling Around goes way lower on the total salt in his cures and seems to be successful, but I don't feel comfortable in going much lower than I posted above. Salt is the driver that causes...

    It tried to defeat me

    Yeah, same here. You learn to be a mechanic, welder, and a whole lot more as a farmer.

    No, but breaking stuff gives you a good excuse for having a few extra beers while fixing it.

    Great that you got it going again, Adam! May break again but you have time to get the right pin in the mean time.

    What Is Sous Vide? Chefs Explain, and Reveal Whether It’s a Worthy Investment

    Don't Know where to start. I've been using Sous Vide for a few years now, and haven't found any negatives yet. I originally got the SV cooker for poaching smoked sausages but found it to be useful for steaks and pork chops. Yes, you have to do a sear on both after they are done in SV, but they...

    Higher cook grate in old CampChef 24?

    Maybe buy the rails and grates from a newer model and install them.

    My SG24 WIFI has upper and lower grates.

    Naked chicken ?

    On brining poultry, yeah it makes it come out more moist, but it also changes the texture of the meat in a way I don't care for.
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
