    Know Your Sourdough Starter Feedings.

    Discard goes in the trash , then feed the volume left behind in the starter jar . I keep mine in a pint Mason jar . I keep an empty pint Mason jar on the counter . When I feed , I weight the empty jar , then tare the scale . So when I weigh the discarded starter jar it tells me the amount...

    This ol’knife

    I had my wet weather tapes . Just have to keep the oiled up when you put them back in the back , and save for a rainy day ! That long blade , with the slow curve is great for butchering . Get some sanding sponges from the Drywall section of the hardware store . Keeps your hand away from the blade .

    This ol’knife

    It's almost as rusty as your tape measure . I bet it's had 1/2 " or more sharpened off over the years . Nice general butchering knife . I'd like to have one for sure . Be handy for breaking down beef primals . Nice find .

    First go on making bacon

    I rinse the surface and dry , same as I do if using cure one . Never heard anything about resting to equalize . Some may do it , or suggest doing it . I don't , but I'm following the Tender quick directions . @Blue Collar Pit Boss I said it's not worth the risk , because when I compare what I...

    First go on making bacon

    I had that feeling , that's why I wanted to make sure . Correct amount of Tender quick for whole muscle meat is 1 Tablespoon per pound . The correct amount for doing sausage or ground meat is 1 1/2 tsp per pound . Just so you know . I would say it'd not worth the risk . It won't be fully...

    First go on making bacon

    Did you use the correct rate of TQ ? 1 Tablespoon per pound of whole muscle meat ? Just making sure . If you did , it will be to salty to fry up and eat . You could use it to season beans or soups ,, other dishes . Use it both for flavor and the salt ingredient .

    First go on making bacon

    The way that reads to me is you added salt and sugar WITH the Tender Quick ? Tender quick stands alone , the salt and sugar are already in it . You shouldn't add more .

    Busy day yesterday. The plan was for steak tips. But decided to get something different.

    Nice ! I'm thinking about heading that way myself . Great looking sandwich .

    Corned Beef Brisket

    I just checked the ad again . Now they show the Cattleman's flat cut for $5.49 , the point cut for $3.49 , and the one I bought Aldi's premium flat cut for $4.99 . Think I might go take another look .
