Love and Respect

So we are not about to break into the anals of love. Yes, I said anal...it's funny. But our blog tonight is about the love and respect a MAN has for another man.
"Love and Respect" is what Ozzy Osbourne has for Ronnie James Dio(RIP today).
Those are the words that came out of the mans mouth when asked about the passing of the late singer of Black Sabbath.
Even the darkest of dark has love and respect for his fellow man.
MEN do have a soft spot. It's between the rock and a hard place and the Aortic Valve. It's quite small and if you ask a vascular surgeon they can point it out!
What happens over time is that the hardening of the arteries gets a weak spot every time a good hunting dog dies, or a tobacco barn is raised, or a Victoria's Secret Catalog is thrown out.
As life goes on man does develop these things called emotions.
We will go more in detail in future writings but know this,
We are SAD today and it is due a MAN down.

Awesome things...

So beef jerky is pretty awesome. I don't know if you knew that but we wanted you to know it.

Let's start with the nutrition meat heads!

Basically it's a healthy snack. With the exception of the salt used in processing
it's one of the best around.

History is boring but you should know this if you are any type of MAN.

Wikipedia says,"The word "jerky" comes from the Quechua term charqui, which means to burn (meat). Jerked meat was one of the first human-made products and was a crucially important food preservation technique for survival" so you know it's true!

An early variation is pemmican, which is a concentrated mixture of fat and protein used as a nutritious food by American Indians.

•5 beef bouillon cubes
•1/4 c. Worcestershire sauce
•1 Tb. black pepper
•1 1/2 c. spring water
•salt
•curing salt
Direction:

1.Slice meat into strips of about 1/4″ or 1/8″ thick.
2.Rub in salt and curing salt and let cure for anywhere from an hour to an entire day, it’s your preference.
3.After your meat has cured mix in the rest of the ingredients. Try to get as close to spring water as you can to make this jerky as close to it’s authenticity as possible. Let meat marinate in the fridge for as long as you’d like, the longer the better.
4.If you’re dehydrating your meat in the oven, foil cover a baking sheet or cake pan, lay out your strips without touching and pop them in the oven. Set your oven on the lowest temp. and let meat dehydrate anywhere from 4-12 hours, it’s your preference, just check it periodically and keep the door open for ventilation. If you are using a dehydrator, set it to the lowest temp. and lay out your meat on the racks without touching and dehydrate anywhere from 8-16 hours, once again, to your preference. Enjoy!

OK weekend is leaving have at it.
