Today is Election day 2012. What better subject to write about than “pork”? BlueTang made some tasty meat products last weekend. He sent me some pics…and being a man of few words, he “allowed” me to

Review: The ULTIMATE Long term storage item – Yoder’s Bacon
My 9 year-old stayed with my mom for the weekend, and was telling her about this wonderful product we stock for emergencies, and my mom was quizzing me about it. I realized I had never written about it here, so I think it’s about time.
Another Coconut Obsession
I’ve always kicked around the idea of marketing dehydrated water….I’m guessing I’d make a killing for the ultralight hiking crowd….I just never took the initiative to get the product line started…..then researching, I found someone had beat me to it 🙁 Along those same lines, I was thinking about

I gave a whole rabbit to SB a week or so ago, and he let me know a few days later that he ended up smoking it whole – something I’ve not yet tried, but wanted to do. One of the things that I was concerned with is that rabbit, being a rather lean meat (but not […]
Thrifty Food Buy and Uses for 15 August 2012

Since I try to eat “Paleo”, this means very little food that includes any grains, legumes, or refined sugars. This week, a little change, I […]
