    Biltong in 3-4 days using a regular dehydrator

    A South African friend introduced me to biltong a few years ago, and as a dried meat I like it quite a bit more than the jerky I usually make. The flavor and texture are worlds apart. I'm using a fairly standard recipe, but on the simpler side. He uses a traditional drying box, but because I...

    Need a recipe App

    There is a reasonable YouTube video that covers the main points. You can also Google search for something like "using OneNote for recipes" resulting in a list from which you can choose what suits you. Lastly, I'd be glad to help if you have specific questions. As I mentioned, there is a rather...

    Need a recipe App

    I think someone above mentioned OneNote, but here is a bit more information. Totally free from Microsoft and you can organize it any way you like (first image below) Installs on PCs, phones, pads, etc. Your OneNote file is kept on the MS servers. There is a single file that you share with...

    Back up home battery systems? Generators? Solar panels?

    Being rural and in the forest our power goes out many times per year. About 10 years ago a friend loaned me a Champion generator because our two fridges and top load freezer were full of food. It worked, but you could easily see the single light we had on would wax and wane quite often - we did...

    firefox broken after account upgrade

    Something similar happened to me and it was due to screen element changes that occurred after account upgrade. This may not work for you, but it is worth a try: Hold down the SHIFT key while clicking the Firefox refresh page button (looks like an arrow chasing it's tail near the upper left part...

    This is a trick I used to fix the white screen of death problem I was having using this site. If you hold down the "Shift" key and click on the page reload icon, the existing browser cache is bypassed and forces a new cache retrieval. Problems like this often occur when a change is made to a web...

    Video games?

    I started out way back in the day with Wolfenstein 3D on the PC. Played so much I was becoming a bit bored. Started modding the levels and had a second round of fun. Then nothing for many years until I discovered Far Cry 2 - loved that game and also started modding it. Then I found Fallout...

    Back up home battery systems? Generators? Solar panels?

    We regularly lose power several times per year. One time I borrowed a Champion generator and it worked fine but was very loud (enough to keep us up at night). We finally decided to purchase a generator that would not only supply our needs during power outages, but also when using our fifth...

    Espresso Maker Suggestions

    Yes, they are expensive compared to ones like Keurig, but in my wife's opinion, much better because you end up with what looks (and tastes) like a professionally prepared Italian coffee (if you like that sort of thing).

    Espresso Maker Suggestions

    My wife likes Melisio quite a bit, but recommends getting a variety of sleeves (of pods) to try to find your favorite coffee. Her favorite size is the 230 ml pod because it fills her big mug. She also waits to order for their promotions during which they offer things like "by 7 and get 1 free"...

    Espresso Maker Suggestions

    20 years ago I purchased a Saeco espresso machine from Costco and it was pricey: $800-900 or so and am still using it to this day. I figure if I went to a coffee place for a couple of cups a day for each of us, at $3 per cup I've saved over $40k - at least that's how I rationalize my purchase...

    Dang Squirrels

    We'd always left them alone even though the males barked at us all the time. One night about a decade or more ago a male was sitting on the bull pine about 20 feet away from our hot tub (while we were tub-ing) and incessantly barked at us the entire evening and I'd had enough of the pests. The...

    Just a few Burgers & Dessert

    Dang, that looks John! I'm doing wood fired pizza for a couple of friends tonight, but I'd rather have cheeseburgers.

    Light Surf & Turf (Ninja made)

    Love the small bites. In fact, when the wife and I go out we mostly order an assortment of appetizer plates for dinner. Nicely done, and I think I'll wrap my scallops with bacon next time. I've scallops in the freezer that would love to meet some bacon.

    Video games?

    You mentioned games on floppy disks which reminded me of my first serious foray into games - the original DOS version of Wolfenstein 3D. I even programmed my own level maps at the time - sure was fun. I wish they had done the first AC games like Origins, but unfortunately the technology was not...

    I won’t be doing that again (Scary)

    Dang John, what an alarming event. Considering what happened, as has been recommended by other guys, having a backup emergency O2 source would be mandatory in my book. Keeping it handy enough to implement within seconds would bring significant peace of mind, but I know you well enough to realize...
