My favorite fish of the year might be the hog that you tied into in that ridiculous pocket of fast water between the logs... I'm 100% planning on going back there right after school gets out next summer, this time for multiple nights.

At her peak, mom was running 3 with staggered start times on a double burned propane stove. Turning them over all day for 2 consecutive days. She would buy 300 lbs of whole fish, have them loined out, and can like crazy. We ate a lot of it but my mom would barter it for all kinds of stuff...

That's awesome, I'm glad it worked for you! That's what I thought all canned tuna was until my teens when I realized everyone else was eating bland trash and I was incredibly spoiled.

I'm in charge of bread for Friends giving today, my favorite assignment

I have the klymit insulated V hammock pad and like it for the most part. It is kind of bulky/heavy and is a bit of a pain in the ass to inflate and deflate. Also there can be some condensation issues in the channels during colder weather. It stays put and has good structure and coverage...

I'm a high school science teacher and many states have reciprocity with my certification in WA, the states that don't are mostly states I don't want to be in (the south). That allows me to teach, at least as a substitute, with a little bit of leg work in most places we would go. A 1 year...

My wife had to visit Manchester NH a few times for work and REALLY enjoyed her time there. I LOVED Portland ME when I visited (unseasonably warm stretch in January) and I enjoyed Boston. We've talked about Pittsburgh or Philadelphia areas as well. I bet it doesn't come to pass, but I'm open to...

I taught 7th and 8th grade science for 5 years, good on you. It takes a special breed to deal with 14 year olds daily. I've been teaching biology at the high school level for the last 5 years and won't be going back to MS ever again if I can avoid it. My wife and I (late 30s, no kids) have...

The wife is a Yanks fan so I watched A LOT of their games. They don't make the playoffs without Judge either.

He got hit with the "I don't watch the games, just look at stats" tax. Single season fWAR leader by a catcher 10.1 Buster Posey 2012 9.2 Johnny Bench 1972 9.1 Cal Raleigh 2025 9.1 Mike Piazza 1997 8.6 Brian McCann 2008 Single season fWAR leader by an outfielder 14.1 Babe Ruth 1923 12.8 Babe...

Thank you, I'll likely take you up on that! My mom used one a lot when I was a kid, LOTS of fruit leather was consumed

"Another fucking kitchen gadget that you use twice per year and have no good place to store..."

That sauce looks cool and tasty!

I haven't tested the pH, but it's on par with sauerkraut I typically make and I like sour things. I just consider it an active ferment and therefore "fridge stable". I just monitor for mold or off smells, which has never happened on a hot sauce for me. That pepper powder trick sounds awesome...

No, home pressed apple cider. I only added about 2 ounces, but the hot of sweetness was nice against the acid and fermented funk.

I do like them chunky/pulpy instead of just liquidy. Ideally this sauce would be finer, but I only have cheap blenders...

I don't think so, the tomatoes only increased volume ~10% and this was 2.5% salt before starting. I figure we're still above 2% salt and plenty acidic. It'll continue to ferment in the fridge.

The bag technique worked pretty slick for me. I should have taken a picture before I opened the bag today, but I forgot. It was puffed up pretty good, not quite full. The veggies were soft to the touch so I dumped everything into a container and hit it with the stick blender. I added some raw...

Today's loaves are 20% Ryman Rye from Barton Springs. It does not have a very aggressive rye flavor, a little sweet and malty without a lot of spice that some ryes have. Danko Rye from Barton Spring is the opposite, bold funky, spicy, fermented fruit qualities. Crumb is nice and bouncy...

Then no purchase necessary! Toss a loaf in that beast!
