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.

Next is flavor.
It's meat flavored.
Different flavors are pretty much out each day and you can use any kind you like when making it. YES I said making it. Your a man right? Maybe a woMAN; but still you should really try making this stuff. It's eady and delicious.

Simple Beef Jerky from beefjerkyrecipes.com

Ingredients:

•5 lbs. beef (or any meat type)
•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.

Man 1

Wow I almost forgot my MANners

Yes my friends I have forgotten to communicate with you all. We have been putting in the MAN hours to make your life better. We have been studying ROCKY IV and have determined that the best way to train for any event in life you need to go to the woods grow a beard and leave behind everything you know.

Well it worked.

The staff here still has been working on the book; all have started new jobs; one
man is still on the search in the world for Man Ly and his elusiveness; another man is in the process of getting married; and a team is going to ride the New York 5-boro bike tour for tapeworm awareness!

We have established a street team.

We learned more about: shaving, warriors, beef jerky, excercise, travel, watches, flying, movies, building things, training animals and drinking.

We are ready for the season of getting back to work to bring you Man Ly and all of his glory.

String theory

Man 2 is talking about string theory and possibly our 2nd and third book somewhere along the lines of the life and times of Man Ly and 'manly' communication.
I think we need to see his next 4 blogs and make the right choice...See what happens when your office building catches fire?!

Today's moment of MAN...it's a 900lb Gorilla.



Well not really 900lb but it's our friend BIG MEATS on Halloween. Yeah we have a friend we call BIG MEATS. Everyone should have someone as awesome.
We will teach you about nicknames in our book. I swear it's coming down the pipe.
Enjoy your Monday.

A story to be told

This story hasn't ended but the first few chapters have definitely closed. If we told you it you likely wouldn't believe it...here goes anyway.

As I write this I wonder how I even slept for some 11 hours. It's been ages since I have seen such glorious sleep. I will call it part of a spirit walk.

I started my new job no more then two months ago. I should not take days off yet as I am the new guy still. Well I suppose that I could, but that would be a business no-no. So I have been just a bit more busy, stressed and tired since then. So I finally earned a day off. It was not by choice but the timing could not have been better. Yeah! My office building caught fire! What are the odds that a Boiler would fail and black electro-chemical smoke would fill my office? What are the odds it would get me away for time during the World Series celebration involving a team I love?

I love the Yankees. Have since I was a kid. I don't think I even had a chance to pick a different team in this case. Sometimes you are born into things: religion, caste, class, name, being a fan of a sports team! You just accept the fact that you learn to wear pin-stripes like a real man.

This brings you when you grow up to the conundrum of going to a game at a certain co$t.

Every time there is a World Series(Super Bowl, World Cup,...) in your area you think about going.

This year the price was about $350-$35,000. If you are smart you would get in at the last minute or day of and find some poor scalper who has only made 10-15k and willing to give you a break at $225. Then you have the 'friend of a friend' and 'a good buddy' who hitched a ride from Derek Jeter's driver 3 months ago and promised tickets if the Yankees played the Phillies(true story)!

Well we didn't quite get the tickets for our enterprise is not yet sponsored, it's not in the budget and I haven't hitched a ride lately.

What I can tell you is that the Parade was a blast!

To be Continued by Man 2 - whose story starts a little sooner.

WritersBlock and a manly hug

Here is your moment of Zen...
It's a man hug.
It happens and you cannot ignore it. I guarentee you will see an ass slap too if you tune into the ALCS game on Fox. A man hug is the single most manly show of affection. It happens and time stops momentarily and you get a warm fuzzy feeling of testosterone releasing.
Thanks for the memories.

On the biz end
