    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...

    What else to dehydrate

    I bought a dehydrator for jerky, that has been going pretty well. Curious what else you guys dehydrate. Ive read up and looks like you can dry pretty much anything, but what is a good snack or good to dry and have on hand.

    85% Lean Ground Beef for Jerky?

    I may have messed up...I was in a rush a Costco and picked up 4lbs of 85% lean ground beef for jerky. I was looking at the cost not the leanness. Most of that I read online says 90% or higher is best. Is it really a deal breaker to have the extra 5% fat? I am using premade mix and cure. I...

    No ESPN / ABC on YouTube TV?

    So now I cant want MNF because YouTube and Disney are in a spat. WTH! $90 a month for millions and they cant make a deal? I googled how to watch MNF for free and struck out. Anyone have any ideas? We have zero antenna reception in the MTNS, so thats out.

    I bought a mixed steak box a few months back. There was a skirt steak in there, I had never made or eaten one. I made it last night: SV 139 with SPOG for 3.5 hours then seared in a pan. It was one of the most tender steaks ive had in a very long time. It was well marbled and so good. No...

    Dehydrator Size

    Im thinking about getting a dehydrator for jerky. Is there a rough calculation for square ft to pounds? Looking at 7 sq ft dehydrator. That should be about right for 5 lbs (raw) of sliced beef right? My Rec Teq is about 5 sq ft and 5 lb will fill it and sometimes the extra rack (the old...

    thoughts and opinions on this issue. Out house came with a Generac 7Kw back up generator. I dont think it was well cared for by previous owners. I fixed an oil leak early on, the oil is very dark when I change it. Its old. We have become quite used to not worrying about power outages which...

    Heads up to all on marketplace ins... Called my broker after reading that Anthem was leaving my state in 2026. She confirmed this info. She also said rates are going "way up" next year. Google says about 18% on average. Both pieces of info are upsetting AF! Just a heads up, you know who...
