My drunk ass came in here last night to give boot scraper a shout out and totally got side tracked @Boot_Scraper and I had been talking about some stuff in 2019 in DM, dude randomly messages me last week says hey keep your eyes peeled for an inbound package and totally surprised the shit outta me! I just wanted to give him a GTG shout out for being a solid guy!!!

Awe you shouldn’t have!

Not gun related, but I got a package in the mail from @Boot_Scraper and I just want to give him a shout out for being a stand out guy and a man of his word! Cheers brother!

Snowing like a MOTHER FUCKER!!!

You’re the first personal contact I’ve seen review one. They seem pretty cool, but also kinda sacrilegious lol. But with the restrictions you listed it’s great to hear it fills that void!

Can’t beat a good tug!

Mississippi pot roast is my go to crock pot recipe i recently for an other on instagram I really like I’ll post below. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzEbN9ov78V/?igsh=MTJrajQzOWlsNjRwcQ== I got talked into an instapot last year fighting the you can do this in an instapot and is so much better bullshit, but I missed my rice cooked and it’s an awesome way to soft/hard boil eggs, and recently found out also great for steaming veggies. Always the one dish I’ve done in that was pork carnitas and they were awesome! also I think it’s in my note book chicken and wild rice soup you start in the morning in the crock pot then finish on the stove incase the link doesn’t work for some of you

Yesterday I went on about a 450 mile trip around trip around the east side of Wisconsin looking for snowy owls and rare ducks or what ever I could find. I think the looming storm put the damper on that. I did find a couple of cool old tugs in the Kewaunee harbor which is at the “base of the thumb” on Lake Michigan. One had Army Corp markings on it named “Ludington”. I like to go and google ships names I see on the lakes, and this one has some great history, it was at D-Day operating as a tug towing munitions across the English Channel. https://www.tugboatinformation.com/tug.cfm?id=1438 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tug_Ludington

Saturday I smoked a chuck roast to use in chili today. First time doing chili on my pellet grill, it turned out really good!!!

Smoked some cream cheese for Christmas Eve, the two are bourbon old fashion topped with cherry preserves, the three are topped with blueberry jalapeño and strawberry habanero jam I tried a cracker recipe I found on Instagram, family loved it, I wasn’t to thrilled with it the crackers got soggy

One last tip, cook up your veggies throw them in the fridge, once they’ve cooled mix up the rest, throw that all back in the fridge for 30-60 min let all those binders incorporate with the liquids and firm up.

Don’t tell my mom, but this is the best meat loaf, it’s very similar to hers but she doesn’t put bacon on it or sriracha in the sauce I almost follow this recipe to a T I smoked at 200° for an hour and a half, then turned it up to 350° and glazed at like 130° internal to A crisp the bacon up more and B not risk burning the sugars in the glaze.

Damn that’s cheap! I haven’t seen them that low in awhile! I did notice the other day one of my stores had briskets at 3.79/pound down from 5.99$, and their butts we’re 1.60/ pound which has also come down

lol, I got one of those outta the freezer too to make Mississippi pot roast later this week

Smoked a meat loaf today with Parmesan mashed taters I’m soooooo freaking full and have meat loaf samiches for a week

I’ve always loved watching little kids ride because they’re fucking fearless, they’re balls to the fucking wall, they don’t think of the what ifs they just fucking twist grip and fucking rip! That kids got huge balls! I’ve been following Brian degan forever then his kids for atleast the past ten, of course his daughter in stock car racing but his oldest boy winning 250’s this year at 17 and fighting it out on that last race! again I fucking love watching kids race, I went to our local track this year to photograph my cousins kids race. It made me realize how much I miss shooting motor sports.

This is one of my go to podcast, I really respect the hosts opinion on a lot of stuff, the end of this was the best with talks on how to be prepared and stay prepared for life. But the whole pod is good. the premise of the pod is you can either sit around and bitch or you can go out and make your community a better place weather it’s somthing as simple as picking up a piece of trash or putting someone’s cart away for them to getting involved in your local government

oh I didn’t know you knew anything about canning?!

Lol she might get discouraged with the fact I’m 16 hours away or not interest in giving her any grandbabies at my age lol

It’s worth the extra work, it takes soup to another level! I showed my mom how to make beef bone broth because the cow we got came with soup bones, she made beef veg soup this week with it and it came out amazing, she said she won’t buy beef broth again lol ****plus I know what’s going into it there’s no added bullshit……

I still don’t get how this happens, only thing I can think of is not following directions, no inspection, no purge. that or it was a glass top stove it caved in and some how it exploded. but pressure canners are way safer than they were 50 years ago.

Thanksgiving tradition, poultry broth simmered 36 hours, thenPressure canned, Came out with 11 quarts. buddy is dropping me off some venison bones soon so I’ll probably do some more venison stock here soon too. Then I really need to buckle down and can some older meat from the freezer.
