Hey TedTam – just wanted to let you know that, should you be “prepping” some breakfast foods (since bacon doesn’t work for freeze-drying because of the fat) – I’ve done 2 different kinds of pre-cooked breakfast sausage patties… I don’t remember what the first kind I tried was but it splattered a LOT – HOWEVER  the Jimmy Dean pre-cooked patties… Read more »

Desperation creeps in.

Makes me feel desperate, just reading it.

Texpat: 3:09 pm

What I commented on in my #79 was how most medical folks were PUSHING the Covid jabs, even after the early warning signs became known. By the time the next batch was ready, I had seen enough negative info to avoid anything whatsoever from Pfizer, or anything containing spike proteins, ever again.

Texpat, what she said, prayers on the way. I do hope they get you all straightened out those hospital visits can’t be fun at all.

We have a sunny 98 in the now-shaded back yard and a 96 for the partially-shaded front porch.  Front of the house is mostly shaded now thanks to the front-yard trees.  The worst of the day is over.  Stick your nose outside and it is still hot, hot, hot.  And we have at least another week to go at these… Read more »

Man those T Bones were good. I had planned on a simple supper, T Bones, Beans and Baked Taters with all the fixin’s but the ladies decided they wanted a salad so when we sat down to eat we loaded up the taters, got out some salad and were about through eating when sister said, “we didn’t even touch the… Read more »

I had to reclaim two of my 7″ baking pans that I’m using for pre-freezing food for Elsa. I think Hubby was about to claim them for his brownie mixes that he’s taken to cooking for himself. I went out into Elsa’s room to put them away and dang, the temp in the garage was 90 degrees. At 5 o’clock.… Read more »

GJT – looks like a wonderful time you were having there… but I think the grands were having even more fun

Tedtam #59… Thank GOD we can do our own beef, eh??? At that price, I could even not be so terribly set on only getting beef on sale AND justify Nat’s purchase pretty quickly.  😉

Good Afternoon Hamsters,

Too hot and miserable outside (101 here so far) to do anything but stay inside and view the world through a window.  We do have a nice breeze outside, though it is likely a hot one.  A herd of white clouds from the west  heads this way that will probably bring shade only.  A nap looks inviting.

Texpat, did you get Pfizer jabs when they first came out, like I did? There had never (to my knowledge) been any other instance where the latest vaccine was a dangerous gamble…  My official Medicare PCP doc is not in UT Physicians, but I have 3 or 4 specialists I see occasionally who are, so UT-P tracks me even more… Read more »

I just got back from the Pig and was listening to Fox and when they went to commercial I flipped over to PMSNBC (Fox Business was off the air and the local FM had a loser on). Anyway I heard some guy bad mouthing Trump, the voice sounded vaguely familiar and when he finished the PMSNBC chick said thank you… Read more »

SD, there is really nothing wrong with Toro and the Ariens but the Bad Boy deck is just noticeably more robust. Machine is simple and access for maintenance is easy. Kawasaki v Kohler – I’ve worked on both in construction equipment and both are good engines. Actually, I’ve had no problems with Briggs and Stratton engines but they get a… Read more »

#68 GJT, I’m pretty sure the Bad Boy will be hard to beat and I’ve about decided that the difference between a Kawasaki  & a Kohler is just preference. You mind telling what that machine will set you back? It’s certainly a step up from my 54″ Hustler Raptor. Not sure what it means but I’ve seen much larger machines… Read more »

I have a batch of bread finishing in the oven.  Oven is off, I turned the power off about 45 minutes ago; door closed.  In about an hour or so I will take the first bite.

Oh, and he is getting a mower, we decided Bad Boy is the best overall. Can’t beat that 7 ga fabricated deck, thing is a beast.

ZT Elite – 60” not sure if he will end up with Kohler or Kawasaki powered but it’s gonna be a good one.

Mornin!/afternoon? Turns out my son wanting me to go shopping for zero turn mower’s yesterday was a ploy to get me out of the house so my Sweetie could setup a surprise BD party for me. We pulled up to the driveway full of cars and about 20 people standing on my porch hollering stuff at me! Love that girl.… Read more »

It’s $26 and I am tempted to buy it.

Sounds like a worthwhile investment of 26 bucks. I guess it would largely confirm what most of us suspect to be true anyway, but it’s corroborating evidence if nothing else.

70’s Flashback

This photo screams ’70s…. the cheesy wood paneling, the wall decorations, the hanging lamp, the built-in A/C, the big console TV, the burnt-orange carpeting and the woman’s fashion.

 

Oh and Mornin’ Gang

Is it still morning? 😉

Found a source of non-mRNA, pre-cooked (sous vide), pure beef that has been freeze dried for long term storage.

Just in case you decided to prep a bit.
