I know im probably violating the "super moist" thing, but oh well; I made a bunch of beef jerky yesterday. Stuff is awesome and way better than the store bought stuff (and healthier too)
I even added some to a bloody mary
what part of the cow did you use? sirloin?
i've never made my own jerky, but my biggest fear would be turning it into shoe leather
that looks just right though, imo
also, i've never understood bloody marys but i remember my grandpa drinking them erryday
i've had maybe one? in my life and it tasted like vodka & bbq sauce...and not in a good way, if there is one

It was a good day. Happy Spring!
Obv most of these images depict some good eats, but like some words, when you look at them too long something is lost. Some of the photos ith look like burnt dead animals or something seen just before flushing.
I suggest a return to Chef Boyardee.
BTW, about eating spaghetti. A major argument with an insignificant other was brought on by my comment that the proper, or best way, to eat spaghetti was with the use of a large spoon and fork to roll it up.
I was scoffed at and told Italians do not use this technique. I argued they most certainly did and it was none other than Marco Polo (the inventor of the spoon) who was the first to do so.
Oh...
"You run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole; you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole."
As far as the part of the cow to use, I will in general stick with cuts that have the lowest percentage of fat possible. Fat is usually an enemy of jerky. If there is a little bit, it usually isn't a problem, but the less fat there is, the better it will store. In this case I think I used top roast; I cant for certain remember the labeling on the meat....When I am buying jerky meat and Im looking at the big roast cuts, i usually concentrate more on what the meat looks like than looking at the label and grabbing.
I wouldn't be too afraid about turning it into leather. Believe it or not, I have probably made at least 50 lbs of finished product in my lifetime, and I have yet to have any jerky turn out inedible. The main thing is to cure it properly and dehydrate it at the correct temperature.
You got my mind jogging here and I might do something a little different for the forum here. I'll maybe show what exactly I do from start to finish in a vid, and then maybe even ship a batch to ya! Im sure it would ship just fine.
Bloody Mary's- Bloody Mary's are GOD...but yes, they have to taste good - vodka and bbq sauce taste doesn't sound very appealing. I like them because there are soo many different ways to make them and you can always construct them just the way you like. They are even sometimes good for the day after a bender when hair of the dog is needed.
When I get some time ill show how I make mine and what BM juice I like to use.
On another note, I have more ribs and a pork shoulder currently on the smoker...I'll post pics when i have a little more time here today
Thread needs more fruit so I'll share my lunch.
Obv can be turned into a smoothie/dessert/pastry so many things. I love fruit just the way it is though enjoy.
I know you're being sarcastic, but some of the worst "food" that you can buy for daily use is that canned garbage IMO. Salt content is obv through the roof and preservatives galore.
BUT nonetheless, I do have a shit ton of canned goods stored in my basement. My biggest reason is for emergency food in case the shit hits the fan - absolutely nothing wrong with being prepared. I will usually monitor my stock for how old the goods are, and I will take some of it and ship it to the food pantry around the corner from me, and then restock with new stuff.
Oh yeah, Once in a while my kid likes the spaghetti and meatballs, but I try to limit how much of the canned stuff I am giving him

Maybe not the best view, but it is true medium.
Soo.. There was a sale on crabmeat and I had a bunch of eggs. Everything is from scratch.

Ketchup, mustard, tomato, red onion, pickles and American cheese will be thrown in, too. The burger will have 1,030 calories and 64 grams of fat.
i thought of a game changer and might not remember tomorrow, so i'm leaving this here to remind myself

Some might say the texture is similar to guacamole but nope.
