    Lite enabling alert. I picked up one of these on an impulse. I like hard boiled eggs, but do care making them. this thing is great and cheap! Took a few tries to get the process right for my altitude, but its dialed in now. If you get on the step where you poke a hole...make the hole very...

    Prosper Meats is Permanently Closed

    I went to look around and they are permanently closed. Found a post from the former GM and he says the owners wanted out of the cattle industry and it had nothing to with the business failing or anything nefarious. Bit of a bummer, for an online meat supplier I was pretty happy with the beef...

    Function Lab Testing

    With all the health stuff going on, my son inlaw (the intelligent one not the "other one") recommended I try Function lab testing. Its a little spendy, but ins wouldnt pay for all the test they offer as a package anyway. I have enough health crap that I figured it couldnt hurt to see if...

    Beef ribs, what were they?

    I should have taken a pic. Sorry. I was cruising through Costco and saw "Beef Ribs" not dinos, these were thin and way less expensive. Like around $25 a rack of maybe 8 (again should have looked longer). Are these beef spare ribs? If so, do these cook out to tender? They seemed a little...

    Quick question about SD time in refer in banneton

    I put a boule in the banneton this morning around 8-9, then made happy hour plans and wont be home till 7ish. I did a little ChatGPT search on how long I can leave it in the refer and it said 24+ hours could risk over proofing. I could cook it when I get home, but predicting low motivation...

    Is it safe...I messed up

    It my turn for the "is this safe to eat" question... When I moved all the food from the old refer, to second refer, back to new refer. I left one bag of red and one bag of green chili out for probably 24 hours. It was frozen to start and left in a room that is probably 50-55 degrees. I found...

    New Refer and Range tomorrow

    I think I mentioned a while back our oven died right after thanksgiving. The old refer is a GE, its the last of the GE appliances that came in the house...the rest have died. The old refer is loud AF. When we remodeled our old house we put in a Wolf and Subzero. They were hard to leave...

    Internet Providers

    We live in the mtns. Lucky our area has Comcast. Not all areas up here do. As some of you know we have frequent power outages and that is getting worse due to Xcel's PSPS (planned safety power shutoff) that they implement to reduce fire risk. We have a back up generator so we have power...

    Home Help. Is this weight bearing?

    At the bottom of our staircase was an old door jamb. We want it gone and wall flat. I pulled the door frame off and there are 2X4's surrounding the door where the jamb was. I feel like these were put there to fill the space so that the pre-hung door would drop in. Here are some pics. Anyone...

    Selling a pistol, not so easy...Thoughts

    I have a semi auto pistol I am trying to sell. I put it on Gun Broker thinking that would be easy. Well its not easy to get paid. As a nonbusiness without an FFL payment seems nearly impossible. I have a buyer, but no means to get paid. I feel stuck. Am I? If this deal dies, I guess I...

    Rye Starter?

    If I make a rye starter with some of my current starter and use it with while flour to make a boule...Will it have rye flavor? Ive tried a couple rye boule's with mixed success. I suspect the lower gluten was the issue. Or that in combo with my elevation (8200ft)? I read that rye starters...
