    $20/lb for Select grade Prime Rib? Nope.

    Every year around Christmas I buy a 3 to 5 bone Select grade prime rib. I slice it into Cowboy steaks, vac-seal each one, and throw them in the freezer. My wife and I get two meals off each steak. The price has varied from $6/lb (3‐4 yrs ago) to $9/lb last year. This year. The lowest I've seen...

    Pork Loin Ham-ish Not Quite Jerky - OMG!

    I've been lazy making my own jerky, but after turning a top round roast into jerky recently, I went thru it in record time. Beef was too expensive at the store, but whole pork loin was on sale. Time to make some pork jerky...or so I thought. I cut the 8.54 lb boneless loin into 3/4" to 1"...

    Exploring Low Carb, Healthy Fat, Moderate Protein Diet - Not Keto Quite Yet

    I don't really have a sweet tooth, but loved carbs like bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, beans, etc. More than a decade ago, my 6.7 A1C labeled me as pre-diabetic. Doc prescribed Metformin. Nothing really changed, but at some time afterwards, I started suffering from crippling anxiety. It got so...

    Anti-inflammatory Effects of Extra Virgin Olive Oil - WOW!

    I have lived with major inflammation and agonizing shoulder pain for years. I purchased enough ibuprofen to supply an aircraft carrier, which made me wonder what I was doing to my kidneys. Last night I saw an ad on YouTube that claimed a ton of "too good to be true" health benefits of extra...

    Simple Way To Eat Your Veggies - With Sausage and Stovetop Stuffing!

    I really don't like eating cooked veggies that are steamed, nuked, or cooked on the stove. They taste bland to me and no amount of seasoning makes much difference. BUT, my wife insists I need them for fiber and vitamins. I agree, but still am not a big veggie fan. Roasting is okay. They are...

    Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny - Fun movie!

    Don't listen to the media downers. I had ZERO interest in seeing Dial of Destiny after the Crystal Skull mess, but my wife really wanted to see it, so we did. I gotta tell you, it was fun. Sure, it was a lot of shoot 'em up and totally implausible scenes, like diving to 300' on a hooka rig...

    Easy Breakfast Sausage Rolls

    One of my favorite YouTube channels is Glen and Friends Cooking. Recently he made sausage rolls using puff pastry. I wasn't about to make puff pastry, and when I got to the store I learned they didn't carry it. As I stood looking at the canned biscuit section, inspiration hit. A cheap can of...

    Chicken Cracklins - Who knew? And why didn't you tell us?

    I like salty snacks, have for decades, but have gotten tired of chips, crackers, nuts, etc. No high blood pressure problems to worry about. Weight? Need to lose plenty, so was looking for something new that doesn't pack on the carbs or spike my blood sugar. Jerky is great, but time consuming to...

    Bread Flour Shortage?

    Hmm. My preferred grocer has been out of bread flour for the last three weeks. Plenty of AP and whole wheat, but no bread flour. I go through 5 lbs each of AP/bread/whole wheat flour about every 6-10 weeks. Checked online and the shortage has been blamed on the war in Ukraine, which supplied 30%...
