    I know this is a meat oriented site BUT now I'm paranoid about left over rice!

    Like many here, I didn't used to pay much attention to how long my cooked rice sat out, or how long it was refrigerated. Never knew it could be a problem. And like many here, I never got sick. But there are a lot of things, and a lot of bad food safety practices, that COULD give you food...

    After bark, peach paper or tinfoil (pork shoulder)

    I use peach paper, it seems to be more popular, and I recall seeing a video or two comparing paper and foil side by side and favoring paper. BUT there is no consensus; plenty of people favor foil and get good results.

    Inexpensive sealer advice please

    We bought the Nesco, partly because we're impressed by how thoroughly ATK does their testing, but also because on the other sites reviewing vacuum sealers it tends to always be in the top 3. We've only had it six months, but so far we're very happy with it. I've not yet had to clean the drip...

    Need to replace my hot gloves

    Those look exactly like a pair I have, and I'm very happy with them. Quite robust and heat-resistant, and they grip food well. Mine were a gift, so I don't know exactly the source, though I suspect they were ordered from Amazon.

    Leg of Lamb, smoked for Easter

    We love smoked leg of lamb, so Easter provided our latest excuse to prepare one. I started with a 5 lb boneless leg of lamb from Costco, trimmed and dry-brined with 2.5 tsp Kosher salt for an hour. That was followed by slathering all surfaces, inside and out, with a paste made of olive oil...

    Down for the count-at least two months.

    I recently rode the chair lift with a lifeling skier, probably over 70. He said he was happy to be back out on the slopes; he had been sidelined for awhile getting both knees and one hip replaced. He said things were so much better now that his parts were “unbreakable”. I admired his spirit...

    March Madness Throwdown 2025

    I knew Colossal Biosciences was working to clone the mammoth and bring it back from extinction, but I thought it was still a few years away. Guess not.

    Jersey and bowl chopper

    An upscale version of the old Slap Chop/Ronco Chop-0-Matic! A couple of years ago, the son of some friends was marrying a woman who was a graduate of the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu school in Paris. I suggested to my wife that we give them a Slap Chop, as she was sure not to already have one...

    How Do You Afford This Addiction?

    Yeah, that one is legendary in the industry. A NJ fireworks company (not the one I shot for) had that contract. Computer-fired shows are composed on a PC, the 'notes' of each shell firing are matched up the the notes of the musical score that accompanies, with the software making the allowance...

    How Do You Afford This Addiction?

    I'm a retired research chemist (if you say my screen name fast, it makes sense), started in Ag Chem right out of grad school, got a bunch of patents for products that never quite made it to market, then I switched to Pharma for most of my career. I was in NJ or just across the NY line the whole...

    Medical Alert Systems ??

    It's been 10 years now, but I had a BIG problem with Medical Alert and their corporate parent, Connect America. My parents had had a Medical Alert system for several years, though they never had a reason to use it. Eventually they decided to move into an assisted living facility. I was...

    Things to buy at Asian Store?

    You’ll find better and much less expensive sesame oil. Lots of other good suggestions already in the thread I miss the Asian markets we used to have near us before we moved. I liked wandering the aisles just to find things I just had to try, sometimes without any real idea of what it was or...

    Exploring Low Carb, Healthy Fat, Moderate Protein Diet - Not Keto Quite Yet

    Yes, I'd noted above that there were some interesting results for schizophrenia treatment, but the links above do stress it's very preliminary. Just rodent studies and a couple of tests in 5-10 humans, but without control groups, blinding, statistical analysis, or randomization, and the...

    Exploring Low Carb, Healthy Fat, Moderate Protein Diet - Not Keto Quite Yet

    That would be great, as I'm not following the literature as closely since I retired. I'm not questioning some of the benefits of the diet, including delaying or stopping the onset of diabetes, and some link to improved outcomes in treatment of epilepsy and schizophrenia, but I mostly object...

    "Texas Style Boneless" Beef Ribs

    I'd read they are commonly cut from chuck, but I don't actually know in this case...there was no guidance on the package. They were definitely a tougher cut, not marbled, I don't think they were a good candidate for grilling.

    "Texas Style Boneless" Beef Ribs

    I stumbled across a pack of 'Texas Style Boneless Beef Ribs' at the local supermarket. It looked like some decent beef, so despite knowing it was neither 'Texas style', nor 'ribs', I took a chance and brought it home. Searching online, I learned these are generally cut from chuck, and they...
