are there any Salmon to catch ? I might sign up for that alone

Take care drive careful Moose have ticks a lot of them : do moose have tick w lyme disease And I did have lyme d I do not recommend it.

Indeed Tourist are in-deed questionable I do enjoy the French on the signs no need to go to France !

@ElsieD what does the ' question mark ' mean on the road sign ?

Costco seams to be steady at 245. not a member ? ask a friend who is.

I don't think the CSO was ever offered on PrimeDay I might be mistaken on some very early PD's I don't think Cuisi makes enough of them to be offered other than a one hour Lightning sale , should that sort of think exist.

that's true I grew up in the Bay Area I used to hunt for palates to set up a few composting bins for my mother there were none to be had anywhere. I also used them to make ' cribs ' for staking my wood for the wood stove.

that's an excellent price !

Im also a fan of pallets. in my area they are free for the asking.

never saw a SR in a supermarket that was worth anything at all even one w a decent meat service counter. the only ones Ive down are SV from the new Wegmans.

@JoNorvelleWalker my results were similar : 250 ppm pre Brita , < 25 after. Ive never thought of passing the water through twice. < 25 ppm is fine. Ive had no trouble w an espresso maker nor the CSO

@blue_dolphin please consider passing along your Tab. and then there are Cod Cheeks , and cheeks of other larger fish : salmon ! again many thanks @ElsieD for taking us along !

wow so pleased to see fresh fish / seafood on a restaurant menu near the sea esp when its very very good. seems obvious , but Time Marches On and that is going to be a relic at some point enjoy it while you can.

that very interesting. I didn't know there was a 1/2 anywhere found this map :

Im very much a fan of fruit deserts , w flaky pastry or crumble. I had high expectations for this : came out like this : the pastry was decent , w large granules of sugar for crunch . nice the filling was a disappointment , unless you like a few unripe peaches in your tarte " for added crunch " took the container back for a refund.

made me think of real bangers

just s quick update on my SV - > smoked turkey farther up on this thread I posted about my SV turkey breasts which I first remove the tendons then SV , and then cold smoke on my off Weber w hardwood pellets one of the finest things and easy things I make. in bulk. 8 Fz TB's , about 9 lbs + in the bone I noticed that the TB-smoked were a bit dry after use dint hem for sandwiches and hot for a turkey dinner not that dry , but dryer than the non-somked. there was of course a little jus in the bag before smoking , and for some reason I did not put that back in the new bag post smoke , but added it to some Fz stock I made w the iPot from the carcass I added that back to the new bag , vac's and froze for the last 2 whole TB I did this way much much much juicer than those TBs smoked and bagged w/o the jus. a keeper for me. a bit of a P.S.: after mangling the TB's to get out those tendons , which don't SV well and outs well worth doing w TB and CB I tie them up with kitchen twine to get a decent shape for The Bag. don't forget to remove them each time you use a TB or CB. they can get imbedded in the meat. kitchen twine does not SV well to tenderness

odd : wonder where the 82 USD came from

@ElsieD I high recommend you keep a ' journal ' of sorts of what you've tried in the CSO works well also with th iPot. then you can refer back and change things as your experience grows. I have not done CkDrums so I can't say. but you will love them on Steam-Bake as its forgiving. I use parchment paper , rather than aluminum foil as its easy for me to get locally. pls post your results w of course Pic ?

So tell me about the Old Stone Coupon ? so out of date ? I do have a wonderful item sent to me from some friends but well more is better just in case.

BTW on those Chem-Strips ? I got them so long ago, ( and know bit about test strips ) I got them from the company , probably. As the battle between Cheap and Frugal will always continue ... I bought two containers , 50 strips / container. much much cheaper on the shipping and they were less than priced these days. Ive used 5 strips out of container # 1 just to be sure on the Brita and my Espresso machine my tap water has not changed. the readings out of the Brita have not changed but I checked 5 times I no longer bother. and have not for quite some time.

I think SV probably radically changes tongue preparation at home. bag it , and be patient. you still have to peel it if you don't want the ' working surface "

@andiesenji Ive had tongue loafs similar to what you made made by various single firm sausage makers notably https://www.dittmers.com https://www.dittmers.com/lunch-meats-1 don't see the tongue loaf in the pic, but they made it http://www.hapanowiczbros.com http://www.hapanowiczbros.com/products.php the Krakow loaf had a lot opt tongue in it. I used to fry it up then put it on toast w a poached egg on top. heaven. boy do I mess places like that there used to be The SmokeHouse in my area that was similar then people thought it was unhealthy etc idiots !

@JoNorvelleWalker search hach water quality test strips https://www.hach.com/teststrips the one for Calcium are " total hardness " this one : https://www.amazon.com/Hach-2745250-Total-Hardness-Strip/dp/B007QQZL0U Brita does a fine job of removing a huge amo0ut of Calcium but is not allowed to market its filters as such some sort of Graft and Corruption sponsored , maybe , by other water purifying firms possible Culligan. that was discussed here some time ago. but I could be wrong about that. amazon sells variants

Beard's stock just dropped. let the GB's ripen , for God's ( and my ) sake
