It’s a drive but I know where I’m headed in the morning

I keep seeing this advertisement on Youtube about renting a house where the owners are there. I think it is a VRBO ad. Who the fuck does that? I have never and would never do that. I didn't even know that was a possibility. We have rented houses probably 2-3 times a year for MANY years for vacations.

Like a Bed and Breakfast?

It's just a he beginning if it really takes off.

Home made creams, butters…

I recently made some butter with some left over heavy whipping cream. I thought the process was interesting the way it firms up and then separates.

So I bought a full bottle and made some more. Then I looked at how much butter I got out of a full bottle and compared the price of the cream… this is one scenario where it’s cheaper to buy the butter already made.

I went through that same exercise with bacon.

Good news is we already have the kitchenaide (best meat grinder for game imo). She started with white bread. To quote her "I've got 3 kids, ain't got time to babysit sourdough too", but I see it coming lol.

This is the recipe I use and his method is super easy.

The Old Faithful - a Country Style Sourdough Recipe

My "old faithful" sourdough recipe is easy to follow and produces a beautifully soft crumb with the characteristic crunchy crust

Low stress, not a ton of throw away when you're getting it started (takes about 2 weeks) or discard. Once you do have discard, the pancakes are the best and so is the banana spice bread. I'll share those recipes later.

Oh, and I've been making this one with half whole wheat, half all-purpose. 8-Ingredient Whole Wheat Bread (Soft & Hearty) - Sally's Baking Addiction

I went through that same exercise with bacon.

I did the Sam's Pork belly twice. Comes out cheaper. However it's 50% fat and last time I looked through 10 slabs before giving up. If you go with a better pork belly from Publix or the like, then yes, you might as well not waste you time unless you want your own seasoning.

the pancakes are the best

Can confirm!

My wife uses her discard for pancakes, cookies, cinnamon rolls, and all kinds of stuff. It’s all so good.

Here’s the breads she made this weekend.

Dunno what the ad is trying to show. I've never stayed at one of those.

Have the people who designed the parking lots in most modern shopping centers/business parks ever driven a car? The pointless twists and turns, can’t go this way, must go that way, have to be a disabled pregnant veteran teacher with a VIC card to park here BS is just out of hand. I can’t imagine being an elderly person and trying to navigate some of these places. Especially with the ever shrinking parking spaces and ever growing cars.

I can't get sourdough to look like that, so I gave up and make it in a loaf pan.

Also, that yeasted wheat bread is better with an overnight in the fridge and baked at 430 for the same amount of time. It's too soft if you bake it at 350.

She does her “artisan” loaves in an enameled cast iron Dutch oven. It’s taken some trial and error, but they usually come out really good!

can't wait for all the problems that 'quadrasteer' GMCs had in the 90's to begin showing up on these

you know the vehicle sucks when all they can lean on and adverstise is that all 4 wheels can steer. that no one asked for or will use.

And the steering angle looks insuffucient anyway. If I have one of those and I want to parallel park, I wanna pull up right beside the spot, turn all 4 wheels 90 degrees, and drive straight in!

We had a big forklift at PFC for the plate laser that did that. It was awesome

If those digits are inches per minute, not bad at all. We do it all the time.

Unlike some people I learn from my mistakes.

That's why I keep making them.... I just want to learn more!
