I know nothing about sausage making. Can you eat it as soon as it's done curing or are there more steps involved?
I love reading UFO web sites. Usually this kind of willful ignorance pisses me off, but the lengths folks go to in an effort to explain innocuous photos and events as sitings of alien visitors is hilarious. And every once in a while they throw in a bit of philosophy/theology:
Yup. As soon as it loses 30% by weight,,,, you can chow down. So in 3 weeks, I'm gonna have 20lbs of cured meat to eat. It'll keep for a long time, especially if I freeze it afterwards.
I haven't posted any Niykee Heaton in awhile, and I'm bored as fuck at work. Gotta love when the client is out at trade shows. Spoiler Spoiler
Its a room in my basement I made so I could better regulate the temperature and humidity. My basement is roughly the correct temp and humidity, so I built some makeshift walls and door, then covered in Tyvex and filled in the cracks with expanding foam to better regulate the temp and humidity. In the beginning I had a tough time with the humidity, so I tried a couple pounds of desiccant with no luck, then a tiny de-humidifier with no-joy, then finally I got it down because I spread sawdust on the floor to soak up some of the fats and oils that bleeds out of the sausages. It turns out that it works great for soaking up the humidity too.
This is really fascinating. This might be a better thread, but I'm going to post it here. Anything that talks about the science/psychology of love is ridiculously interesting to me. The 36 Questions That Lead to Love. The premise is that if you sit down with someone and you ask each other these questions, you will fall in love.
I saw that recently and assumed it was a click-bait list article, but I actually thought it was pretty interesting. The questions are great, and don't veer into "this is artificial and weird" territory. I can definitely see this working and would love to try it. I'm just not sure when the best time to do it would be; you would want to do it early on, before you knew too much about the other person, but too soon and it might be awkward ("Hey I'm glad we're going out on a second date, want to see if we can fall in love??")
Profit? Why don't they make that the next reality dating show? Pick 3 guys and 3 girls that are just as attractive and interesting as the ones they put on the Bachelor / Bachelorette, have them all ask the questions on camera. Whenever one the answer is long and drawn out, like "tell your life story," they just get a team of animators to put together pictures with the narrative.
Re: Profit? Sounds like a job for Kampf's sister. Get on that! Do you guys not read this stuff before you post it?
We're out of milk. And we are supposed to get 1-3" of snow. Guess who looks like the dork going shopping for milk because a snow "storm" is coming? In my defense, I got no eggs or bread.
Do you really need milk bad enough that going a day without it would be terrible? Maybe I just have a little bit of winterbike in me but I only buy milk if I need it for a recipe.
