Pressure canning

 Since Slow Joe decided he's going to get Big Government to "do something" about the price of meat that "Big Meat" is costing the consumer...
I'm looking at a cheap, fatty roll of e-coli burger to cost $10/LB  when he's done.

So we decided to stock up now when meat is only fucking expensive and to preserve it.
I'd rather go the drying rout, but research says that drying without freezing only lasts about a year.

So the other potions are brining, salting or canning.

I tried pressure canning about 5 pounds of meat today- I'm still out on WC for my knee- why not? It's too cold to work on the band saw.

SO-
With prep time and the half hour it takes to just get the steam rolling out the vent (before waiting the 10 minutes to actually start cooking/canning. and the 90 minutes it takes to actually cook the jars at 11PSI (12 was steadier and I doubt more heat is a problem) we're looking at a good 2 1/2 hours before you can start waiting to for the canner to depressurize on it's own......
Which I'm doing now and don't know how long it'll take--- we're looking at an all day job of babysitting a glorified quick cooker.

But-
At least humans have the supermarket.

Sorry, I'm taken-

Prepping posts

 I've looked at some prepping posts about dehydrating.

The wife got a dehydrator when she saw the grocery prices expected to climb through the roof.
We've been experimenting- frozen corn, peas, caramelized onion, carrots, parsnips...

She wants to vacuum seal the jars, but the little necked ones didn't work on her vacuum sealer, so instead of going through the hassle of doing the water bath thing- I tried the microwave thing.

The only difference between wet heat and warming the contents up to get a vacuum when it cools is water- I tried it. As herself was asking skeptically if I really thought it would work, we heard the "tink" of the lids.

If you slice your tomatoes and put them under a broiler for a while, you can dehydrate fire roasted tomato slices for the added flavor boost (don't know about electric ovens YMMV)

Trying meat next. I'll bet it from a meat market so I don't have to deal with all that red water the big stores inject it with.

Wierd...

 A lot of my puzzles that show only partial boobs are blocked, but Kate Upton isn't.
She's showing the same, or more underboob than the others, but she doesn't have a weapon.

So maybe that two strikes against the others?
Or maybe I haven't tried sharing it?
Lets give it a try...
 

 

Here's the pic if they block it-

Be wrry, werry scared of them.

And yeah, it's a spoof.

 Do these spammers bypass comment moderation in Blogger?

And words sometimes don't mean what you'd expect them to.

I see I'm not alone on this BBB

Just because Manchin is a solid NO on the bill doesn't mean it won't pass. Streff over at Red State goes into more details, but just remember this- or these Quislings...

 And two in one picture-

 Who'd happily vote for more debt on top of debt.
Just to stick it to Conservatives for daring to back Trump.

Trolling antifa-gs

We had a cold front come through

 I made chili and cornbread.  You get puns.

I stumbled onto the evolution of "Karen"

I guess I should tell you some of the words are NSFW...
But if you're reading this blog, it won't bother you.
 

$300

 I sure am glad the stock market stopped being an indicator of Americas financial health back in 2009.
That's how much I lost today- so far- in my stocks.
The only stocks that aren't going south are two of the three Israeli stocks.

And in something Rule 5-ish from U-toob.
I like this chick's attitude who put the lyrics up-


And as usual- the big one below the break.

Bull. Shit.

 So we're supposed to believe that Afghanistan has a new happy faced bunch of Islamic terrorists running it?
That the persecution of gays, females and people who watch sports is going to stop?

And please free up that $10 billion so we can use it to 'help' the people instead of using it to fund even moar terrorism :-)

I thought the adults were supposed to be back in charge

It looks more like a Jr. High snit war between popular chicks...or something- the way Joe and his ho were ignoring each other.

For some reason I can't link to the tweet video here, so you'll have to hit Twitchy for the optics.

Plus pResident Brandon had to ask Dr. Jill to move so he wouldn't get Kamala Cooties- or sumpin.

A Constitutional Convention?

 So you have a Constitutional Convention- or Convention of States....
And it doesn't actually turn into a Communistic overturn somehow.

Just HOW are you thinking you'll be able to force anyone in DeeCee to obey this new constitution?

Leftist Democrats aren't going to probably even acknowledge it
The Woke military that's been purged and only looks to Miley isn't going to do anything to enforce it.
Even if the Republicans agreed with it- they lack the balls to do anything.

The same DoJ that tried a soft coup for four years would rather lock up the people who got in on that Convention of States.

So............. do we really want it to come to this and God only knows what'll happen when the silent majority get involved.

 Looks like she's up for the next stage judging from the two extra shot shells..

As usual the pic and big one hidden under the break.

What the fuck did you expect (with link fixed)

 When you handed over a kill list right before you abandoned our allies and Billions of Dollars worth of military equipment.
Now you've got a stick up your ass about them killing people?

But yeah- give them a seat in the UN- they'd fit right in with all the other despots.

I was a Dirt Sailor, so we actually had more in common with Marines and Airedale than the fleet.

Sorry PETA- not intersted

 You'd probably get more attention with your nekkid hippy chicks than this bogus 'fake human leather' crap.

OR maybe you could join up with FEMEN, if you can't get good looking nekkid chicks,,,,

Just trying to help the cause and all.........

Rework on the band saw

So I have to redo the tracking on the band saw because it wasn't sturdy enough. (I'm going to have to use bigger wheels too- later)

 

 But it's frustrating to work when the entire project is moving.

Finally, the Christmas season.

 Time for all the woke advocates to come out with their falsifications about Nazareth (the city, not the band) and how we have to welcome illegal invaders.......
Because Mary and Joseph were illegals, too---
Or sumpin.

Happy Thanksgiving

 I was going to PT after getting a cortisone shot- because Workers comp doesn't want to pay for the operation Ortho says I need. So we have to play the game.
The guy working on me was doing his thing inputting info to the computer and kinda mumbling to himself and I said "What branch were you in because I recognize the song of my people"

I was going to do a Twilight Zone marathon, but couldn't find free entire episodes.
