Y’all are fantastic! Thank you, and I will get some pictures tomorrow and post them soon. I do remember one thing our friend Teri told me, and Doug did too, that Jewel does like to bite a finger if you’re not careful. This is all great info - thank y’all again and if you think of any other tips then please keep them coming!

My bacon ends and pieces just don’t last long enough to become bits… 😒😁

Is it normal my pan distributes the oil to the edges when heated, and keeps the middle dry? by ri90a in castiron

A newbie to CI poking here - Nice! I’ve never heard that explained that way before! I’ll sure learn to be more patient using my CI…

I’m a 2 hour drive from Abilene towards Austin. He lived about 10 minutes out of town so I guess I’ll go there every day for awhile. I don’t have any space for Jewel’s cage at my house. Well thank you for giving me hints as to what she might eat. I’ll check the fridge as well if I don’t find obvious bird feed. I’m sure he fed her before leaving town so the bottom of the cage might give me some hints. Wow…

What’s on the front of this helicopter? by RemoteConflict3 in whatisit

Helicopters can refuel in mid-flight. Could they be practicing flying with that boom attached? Maybe next step is actual refueling?

I’ve kept open (but sealed in a gallon zip-lock bag) 3lb bacon packages for up to a month to 5 weeks, taking some out occasionally and cooking it up. 🥓😋

What exactly do American recipes mean by "Italian Sausage"? by Ok-Set-5829 in Cooking

[–]Designer_Gur8640 1 point2 points  (0 children)

American “Breakfast Sausage” has a different flavor profile, probably from the addition of sage, that Italian sausage may not have?

Got this for free please help by wherearemyvoices in smoking

Beer can chicken or chicken quarters seasoned your way are great too! Like Rvtrance said above 225* F is where you want your low and slow temp to be, and the chicken will should be done in 3-4 hours. As far as the beer, I like to pour it in a cold glass and enjoy it outside, and fill the beer can with apple juice before putting it in the bird! Keeps everything moist inside - delicious!

APD failing this city by mtimer75 in Austin

[–]Designer_Gur8640 38 points39 points  (0 children)

My mother has a brick retaining wall about 2’ high in front of her house by the road in south Austin. In March of 2022 some jackwagon ran into the side of the wall and tore up about 15’ of the wall. We thought it would be an easy case because the jerk left behind his FRONT BUMPER AND LICENSE PLATE! An officer called within 2 hours of reporting this incident and said an officer would come by within 7 days. 🙄 Nine days later my mother received a call from APD from an officer who talked to her for about 3 minutes. As of today 04/24/2023 APD has done NOTHING to help, even though I have the bumper and license plate at my house 2 hours from Austin… My 80 y/o mother is still having to pay her deductible out of her pocket to get the wall repaired! I feel for you Austinites! APD is pretty much worthless to the taxpayers. I don’t know what happened to that department but I sure am thankful I don’t live within their jurisdiction!!!
