The wife insisted on stopping to get one last night, very good stuff. It made me think I need to check out the Pumpkin Spice juice that one of the local B&M's sells. Sounds like maybe a good vape :)

I'm working on a pumpkin latte type vape for the shop I work for - it needs a LOT of work. Mostly spice, little to no pumpkin so we've ordered pumpkin base to boost the pumpkin flavoring (we hope).

Me too, that and eggnog.
Eggnog lattes are amazing..but you can't even get the flavored creamers year-round. Buggers.
. ;-)
If I'm not careful I could put on 20 lbs over the holidays just with eggnog. Jumpin jehosephat that be some good stuff.

Surely you have a soup spoon eh? Not the dessert-size, the tablespoon size.

That's what I use. Ice-cream scoop works too.
You'd be shocked if you saw the small amount of kitchen utensils I own and wonder how I get by. A Swiss army knife has more than what I've got!

The UK has second-hand or "dollar" stores, right? That's where I get my kitchen stuff mostly.
Let the rich peeps pay the retail price, I'll use 'em when they are done with 'em. ;)

Work has been slow so I've been surfing pinterest to keep from taking a nap in the office, yeah its been that slow and I'm deciding I need more time off so I can make cookies again. I think its the fact we had a cold front go through last night that took daily temps from 99+ to almost hitting 75 today and its dreary and attempting to rain. I just want to make cookies and such.

Used to put a couple of ramen blocks in with cream of chicken soup. Then I spent 4 months suffering through depression and eating nothing but ramen. Lost 40 lbs but never touched ramen again

Pinterest is addicting, and I like food and random, weird, craft, things (and to drool over pretty things)...and yeah I'm addicted though not having free time I only get to look at work when its incredibly dead, or I'm in need of inspiration. There's a long list of things I've tried that worked great, and a longer list of fails. If you (or anyone else) want to - my pinterest is http://pinterest.com/frawgzdezignz

Nice ManPan CaFF. ;)

I need some ideas from the Foodies. I bought some VERY overpriced 'Canadian bacon' which is really just thin sliced ham. When the hell did that happen? Canadian bacon used to be good and not like this stuff at all. I'll never buy it again but I still have a big double package of it since I got it at Costco. Any ideas except for egg/cheese/manpan stuff? Can't have any bread, pasta or rice involved. Or potatoes.

I feel you on that fake Can Bacon. I miss the stuff with the cornbread type rind to it that had a unique flavor that wasn't plain old ham.

Can you have maple syrup? Got any? Or apples, something like you'd do for pork or even salmon.

This is the recipe my grandmother used to use with real peameal bacon - 2 1/2-pound Canadian bacon roast
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Substitute your package size and I'd use the same amount of mixers,
Cut roast in half lengthwise. Place each thick slice on hot lightly greased grill 4 to 5 inches over low moderate coals. Grill, turning with tongs, about 10 to 15 minutes on each side. Timing depends on the heat of the coals.

Combine maple syrup, lemon juice and cinnamon. Brush roast with the maple syrup mixture often until surface is brown and crisp. Cut each thick slice in diagonal slices across the grain to serve.

Makes about 4 servings. (again your sizes will vary and I would reduce cooking time). You could probably use an indoor grill without issues.

http://www.yummly.com/recipes?q=canadian+bacon has some yummy looking things hopefully you can find something that works.

Thank you @Frawg for typing all that out. I'm probably one of the few people on the planet that doesn't like sweet or fruit with meat but my son will probably like that, he's the apple with pork type.

Finally got around to doing up the marinade for my Hab Jerky...lots of good stuff in there including 4 pureed orange habaneros.

NsvAkEgl.jpg



I gotta wait though, on account of my three pounds worth of meat being too hard. :D

vFr5lVxl.jpg



Yeah, it's still frozen...hehehe. I do want it slightly frozen to make slicing easier, but not quite THAT frozen.

Two thing ya don't want in the fridge: bananas and tomatoes. I do put cut tomatoes in a container in the fridge though. Not in plastic wrap.

Some reading for ya:
http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/12-foods-you-should-not-put-the-fridge.html

I can adjust the humidity in my produce drawers to a point, but mainly I do it via how it's wrapped or contained.
Brill link that is. I was reading a lot of their articles last night. And they were saying about being careful if microwaving to defrost meat as it can cook the outer whilst the middle is still frozen (which we all know). But at a 140/40 degrees fahrenheit bacteria will contaminated the meat fast - unless you cook it immediately

OK, finally got around to slicing up that eye of round for my Hab Jerky.
I know it looks it, but not freezer-burnt, I'd rubbed the meat with garlic-pepper salt before wrapping it up.

Sliced approx. 1/4" thick across the grain except for a few end bits that got chopped into bite-sized pieces. =)

Did it all fit into the marinade tub? Barely. :D

In the fridge it went. Tomorrow, I'll dehydrate it into meat candy.

LOL...I had mentioned the cut before I think.

It's one of the better cuts for jerky: Eye of Round. Very little connective tissue or fat. Nice even grain too.
I got it for about $13 for a bit over 3lbs. Not too bad when ya figure 20% fat ground fucking beef is like $2.75-3.00/lb if you're lucky.


Well, it's about done. Its been drying since 10AM and I'm tired of waiting for ALL of it to be done, so here's a photo of about 1/3 of it. :)



It's not THAT red/purple, but it fluoresces when ya try to photograph it.

It's good stuff.

My big dog has a weakness for venison jerky. She never counter surfed or stole ANY food except the one time there was a full gallon ziplock of venison jerky on the kitchen counter. I found the empty bag in the backyard with a little hole chewed in it. lol

This is for @Hobby Kid. I finally got to World Market. Guess what I bought? :)

This time I'll actually try it since it's cheat day.

Ahhhhh...fun.

Mum grew up kinda proper English for a Scottish dairyman's daughter, so of course they had all the dairy products one could think of. ;-)
One of her favorite things even into her eighties was fresh scones with strawberries and Devonshire Cream. Also, a Red Rose Cream Tea.

Well, those Hatch chiles are not particularly hot, but they have a flavor like no other. They come from Hatch, NM and are really sweet and flavorful.
