Biltong is a cousin of jerky, but incorporates vinegar into the process, and omits nitrates and nitrites, common preservatives found in jerky, at least today’s version. Another difference is that biltong is typically not smoked, something I thought I would miss. I don’t, though I would like to try a bit of smoked biltong eventually. […]

Crock pot pulled pork and Paleo Tortillas
I LOVE barbecue pork – ribs, pulled, sliced, it really doesn’t matter. But being the only REAL meat eater in the house, I’ve long since given up on spending time with a smoker or charcoal grill. I get my fixed whenever I can, wherever I am able to, and not as frequently as I’d like. […]
Thrifty Food Buys for 26 July 2012
This weekly post will revolve around stores in my area, and food that we eat. Saving money by buying in bulk is no good if you are storing food you will never eat. “Eat what you store, store what you eat” will be my guidelines. To me, this means very little food that includes any […]

Lionfish Update – Maybe not such an issue here in Florida?
Remember this: Update: Eating Lionfish may be dangerous ??? Ciguatera is a nasty thing to experience. When I first read the email regarding ciguatera, I did my due diligence as well as I was able given the time I had on hand and my perceived sense of urgency. I have friends that eat lionfish frequently and would hate to think I could […]

Bad news, campers! I was finishing up today’s post regarding a kayaking trip when RidgeRunner sent me an […]
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
