    The KitchenAid curse

    After I burned out my second KA I got one of these. It easily handles a kilo of whole wheat dough. I've still got a KA that I use for stuff like pancakes or whipping cream. https://www.breadmachinedigest.com/reviews/stand-mixer-reviews/electrolux-magic-mill-dlx-mixer.php

    Pasta Extruder Enablement Thread

    I've been making our pasta with this for awhile now, and we really love it. It performs soooo much better than the Kitchen-Aid attachment. I've added a couple dozen brass dies from Pastidea.com in various shapes. These were macaroni for dinner last night. Anyway, you should buy one next time...

    Breakfast Tacos

    We do breakfast tacos 3-4 times/month for dinner. They are fantastic when you decide you aren't in the mood to seriously cook. Those look great, cilantro notwithstanding...

    CUSHION(?) HAM

    I use pork cushion in sausages a lot, it's a great cut. I need to try a ham. Why is injection superior to immersion for brine?

    Looks great. It reminds me I'm out and need to make more.

    At what point is it too old?

    That's what I was hoping. Thanks. As far as texture and flavor, there has been no degradation of either. None of them have spent more than 15 minutes outside of a vacuum at any point in the last two years. I will proactively start making more boards though :)

    At what point is it too old?

    I realized have have some bresaola, lomo and a couple of other 2+ year old charc in the back of the fridge. It's been vac packed at fridge temps that entire time, occasionally opened to serve and then resealed. How long do you consider it viable?

    Homeowners insurance and a roof ?

    Allstate promptly paid the $30k it took to completely replace the hail-damaged roof on my house. Then they denied the claim for my black neighbor across the street. It took a letter from a lawyer to suddenly get his claim paid. This is apparently not unusual behavior on their part.

    6 months since I fed my bread starter

    Yeah, I regularly go a few weeks, then just grab a tablespoon full and rebuild over a few days.

    Whats on the menu for the super bowl?

    Hold off on the halo... I may or may not also eat some baby back ribs with my Jello.

    Whats on the menu for the super bowl?

    My wife will be on a liquid diet all day tomorrow for a procedure Monday. In solidarity, I'll be having Jello.

    28lbs of goodness AKA Bacon

    Looks great! I've had people want to buy charcuterie, cheese, bread and roasted coffee from me. I just give it away though.

    50/50 whole grain rye sourdough

    Thanks! If I'm making a rye specifically to use with pastrami, I'll toast and grind up some caraway seeds and mix in the powder for it, but neither of us like whole caraway seeds, it needs to be a hint of flavor in the backgroun. Thank you! Was it 100% spelt? How was the gluten? Thanks...

    50/50 whole grain rye sourdough

    I turned part of my WW starter into a pure rye starter, and made this sandwich loaf from Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Breads. I milled Butler's Gold wheat berries and Rhyman Rye berries from Barton Springs Mill. As an aside, the flavor and aroma of Barton's grains are amazing.
