Spring is a wild time up here. The deer and elk are birthing and the bears are waking up. This is a frame of a video that I cant figure out how to post. He was on the run tho.

So I have had ongoing Gi issues and finally went to a GI doc. PCP's didnt seem to care much which is a whole other rant. GI guy ran a battery of testing, all negative/clear/good. Step two: cut out all dairy for two weeks. I was highly skeptical and didnt think it would do anything. It seems...

We had some home renovations scheduled for months...so we kept the schedule. One was removing a half wall and replacing with banister/handrail to open it up... Found electrical in there...Seems like an electrician could move these fairly easily right? Getting a sanity check before my...

I was at Costco restocking after a long spell of not cooking much and figured I peek at the briskets (granted these are prime but still). This is getting out of control. Feels like beef has doubled in the last 5 years. I spot checked a few other actual package stickers on other beef...

No pics, sorry. But here are some flavored bread pan loaves I made that turned out good. Everything bagel. Added 20g EB and reduced salt to 8g. Black pepper and rosemary (both dried). 1 TBSP of each. Both were quite good and baked up with a nice rise. Not sure if its something else, but...

Trying to get back to some kind of normalcy...and back to you guys who were a huge help in pulling us through, and continue to do that. With all the wind storms and fires many new norms up here. First PSPS (public safety power shutoff) from Xcel - I get it, we have a generator and Starlink, so...

Friends, Those in the know will understand. My daughter is losing the battle faster than imaginable. Today hospice was suggested by her providers. They give her a couple weeks. We are all devastated. I cant thank you all enough for the prayers and support!

I picked up a couple corned flats for pastrami. I have three rub recipes and I didnt notate which one I like best. Looking for a simple/easy pastrami rub with ingredients I will have on hand that dont require roasting and grinding etc. . Not a juniper berry fan either. If you are good with...

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...

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...

The update I have been avoiding…I have been encourage to share…but its hard…so here goes. Right before Thanksgiving I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. So far its testing as non-metastatic. So it’s the continual monitoring, another biopsy and MRI later this year. See what changes. PSA is...

We have an electric tank water heater that just turned 10 years old, Its Rheem kinda standard nothing fancy. The previous owner lived here solo for one year, before that its unknown. Internet says 10-15 years. No issues so far. BUT, In my previous homes with gas water heaters I have had 3...

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...

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...

Its been too long and I dont have notes... so. If I want to make a loaf of SD as opposed the a boule, what size dough batch? Normal boule recipe I use is 500g flour. I think I tried this once before and it was WAY over the top...like ridiculous. Tasty but hard to make a sami. Would...

I have been jonesing for so SD since the old oven died mid Nov. Here is the first since.

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...

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...

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...

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...
