(yeah, the name sucks, got a better one, send me an email) I just realized I had yet another Wednesday night conflict – my next post, or go through the flyers posted tonight to see what I’ll be trying to stockpile for a rainy day. Then it hit me, why not

Guest Post: Mango BBQ Sauce (by BlueTang)
I got a chance to taste this today…I was floored…BT is trying out the Paleo lifestyle also, so anything he makes is going to be a good bet to be safe for the other cavemen, like me. Look at the very bottom for my pics.
Cooking with Canned Rabbit, or “How does it REALLY taste?”
Yesterday I wrote about canning rabbit. Today, I’ll cover what it actually tasted like, and what I did with the first jar I opened. As I mentioned before, the smell while it was processing was VERY
Bad things happen…
I wanted to use the line from Forrest Gump regarding the bumper sticker slogan, but I’m told that profanity is the result of lack of self-control. I say bullshit. If I say bull poop or bull shit, what is the difference, other than the sounds? The intent is the same…. Ah sweet tangents…I’ve already gotten off […]

“So if everything goes to pot, I know who to visit!” or “Be Prepared!”
“So if everything goes to pot, I know who to visit!” This was a line of a conversation with a long-time friend. And a line I hear from LOTS of folks. And it bothers me. Not because I think I will have a house full if things “go to pot”, but because
My next project: Canned mullet (Part 3, The Verdict)
Last week, I was finally able to sample the canned mullet (see part 1 here) (see part 2 here), with the help of the ever-present (at least when food is involved) BlueTang. We gathered around the four ounce jar with great
