    The Bible of home meat production

    One of my go to books for curing/sausage making. While not perfect, it's a solid resource.

    Health Insurance Nightmares

    Only good thing I have seen so far with Common Spirit is that the providers in the network use carepayment that lets you make reasonable monthly payments on your balance interest free.

    Health Insurance Nightmares

    I didn't either, but I did a review of my medicare coverage, and what changes I should make. The agent said I would have gotten jammed with 20% of the cancer treatment costs no matter which carrier I chose. I did update my coverage and will get more money per year for corrective lenses and got...

    Health Insurance Nightmares

    Pretty much the same BS as with private insurance. When I said I got only got 80% of my radiation treatments covered, it was through Medicare. None of the Medicare plans cover more than that. On the plus side, my new plan gives me $350.00 towards corrective lenses next year .......

    Health Insurance Nightmares

    I don't expect so. Once you reach your plans out of pocket limit, they should cover 100% from there on. I also don't expect it matters if you are paying said out of pocket expense through CarePayment, or what have you. The payment terms are between you and your provider. As far as the insurance...

    Health Insurance Nightmares

    I'll just drop this here: https://www.carepayment.com/resources/provider-faq/ I got jammed with a pretty big out of pocket payment from radiation treatments ...... seems about all the insurance plans only cover 80% for cancer treatments. Anyhow, all my providers are in the same network (St...

    Offer it free on marketplace or craigslist with the condition that they have to move it and that they incur any and all costs in the process.

    Turkey Thaw Times

    You can also speed the thawing process some using a sous vide cooker. Put the bird in a cooler or pot and run the circulator below 40 degrees to keep in the safe zone while thawing.

    Looking for a new Sous vide cooker

    I have had the same one (Think it's the ISV-200W) from the look of it for a few years now. The only issue I have had is that the plastic around the lug where the tube attaches got brittle and broke off. Rigged it up with a hose clamp and still using it. You can see where part of the lug broke...

    Smoke Turkey in the pan or on the grates?

    Whether cooking on an offset, vertical smoker, or pellet grill, I spatchcock and have a pan below to catch the drippings. I don't use the drippings for anything, but catching them keeps the cookers cleaner.

    When you have to give your dog pills but they want to outsmart you

    Never have tried forcing a cat to take a pill, but I'd be wrapping it up in a towel like a burrito before attempting it.

    When you have to give your dog pills but they want to outsmart you

    I just chuck the pill way back in their throat and hold their mouth shut till they swallow. Any and all attempts to hide the pill in any pill pocket, or other food just results in them taking the treat and spitting the pill on the floor.

    Butifarra Soledeña

    I ended up here in Kentucky many years ago because my dad got transferred. He was employed by Westinghouse. They were bought out and closed the plant in New Jersey and moved him here. Anyhow, he did his first year commuting between NJ and KY before we all moved. At a restaurant while he was...
