This stuff has gotten very expensive lately. Running $5/lb or more. I have Ribeyes that cost almost that much in my freezer...filet mignon I paid a bit more for. (I buy whole cuts on sale and break them down often) 80/20 ground beef is getting to be super expensive. 80/20 is usually the...

Everyone has a version... This stew from Mexico has graced everyone's table at some point in some variety. By definition Chili is a bean and meat stew with cumin, oregano, Cayenne, and Black Pepper....(and usually a few other spices) Then the rest is absolutely a "no holds barred" type of...

I'm totally at a loss as to what to do. I'm a construction Electrician by trade. Meaning that I always get high at work...not mentally impaired by chemicals but I always climb stairs and ladders... I just came back from the orthopedic doctor. My knee is shot...done...game over for climbing...

I've seen real racism. I've seen real prejudice. Where here in America the claims about racism's existence is overwhelmingly overblown (facts and statistics show minority favoritism)...I have seen first-hand prejudice exist between different classes of people. Elsewhere in the world racism is...

I dodged a bullet... Boss called me this week... Had a spot open but he filled it before I could get back to him. Good thing too. Jobsites usually have a couple hundred guys all coming and going. One job here at a school I knew about... They had one case of coronavirus a month ago... Today...

I have been pondering all the news lately. From the Covid quarantine to politics and now the George Floyd tragedy. In each of these above instances I have seen something. Now lets review for a minute what Locusts do. They swarm over any bit of "food" or growing thing. Literally hundreds to...

OK... I was talking to Jeff earlier today to find out that he has broken down in his favorite project on the side of the road. The thing was overheating..he had called a towtruck and was getting towed. Physically he is somewhat fine...after freezing from taking a nap in the car last night...

Worldometer is a pretty cool website. One of the most popular since the start of this quarantine/outbreak. One of the cool functions is that you can arrange the countries by any one metric you wish. The one that comes up when loading the site is just total cases.... But in reality it's not...

If there was a place to run to and hide...I'm all for it. Unfortunately there isn't. Here in TN we have had Tornados, Spring Storms, Coronavirus, Influenza, Earthquakes, and now...you guessed it... Cicada's. Yep this is the year for these locusts. Brood 13. Anybody up for gambling on when...

If I've heard it once I've heard it a hundred times... During this pandemic people (myself included) seem to be having issues with personal Grooming and actually putting on clothes. Things like combing/brushing hair, brushing teeth, using deoderent, and etc. Granted, I can't see or smell...

I'm kinda curious... If you were comparing two different products...and discovered that both were fairly similar...most people choose the product that is cheaper in price. But today with lots of resentment towards. PRC... Will you continue to buy Chinese goods? Or if the price is not...

So... In order to help with cookies and candies at Christmas time... A new dining room table that is countertop height is needed. (36 inches) Working on the other one is back breaking work...plus it is 15 years old... So I started to make a new one. So far I've spent about $400 on supplies and...

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there.

Fake News is everywhere these days. But for whatever reason people still believe it...and it's almost impossible to get people to disbelieve even though it's proven false. Even President Trump has been taken in by this stuff... The HCQ fake News is just one example if this. It's continuing...

Via a phone call this morning StoveBolts and I were discussing how the quarantine guidelines were not well thought out. One is "optional" medical care. People who should get something checked out early (like lumps or something else) are putting it off until they can get in to see the doctor...

ASMR a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus. Now I don't agree with some of this. "Gentle" has never been a part of mine...now that I know what you call it. I...

Okay Spot quiz! How did you anticipate someone else's needs or wants this week?

Now ALL the Italian Chefs I know have different recipes and STRONG opinions on how to go about making this stuff. From flat dumplings to spaetzle to gnucci to more traditional Italian types and even the originators...Chinese Lo Mein noodles.... Everyone has a method of making these things...

Today I'm making it in the traditional fashion. I like using eye rounds to make it. It's a tough and dry bit of meat but makes beautiful slices once it's braised. I've started out by searing the living daylights out of my eye round. Almost to the point of burnt on the outside. Then comes...
