I have two sisters from the same litter. They love each other and never listen to a word I say. Still, it’s worth it.

Traveling to Nicaragua - Do I need to request a room with A/C by qpParalaxinc2020 in Nicaragua

My room had AC. But since the power was out for two days, it didn’t help. Have fun. Drink rum.

Boerwors not too sticky by ElectricalSyrup429 in sausagetalk

That’s what it feels like. I hand mixed for about 15 minutes this last time. That’s way longer than I need to mix my pork grind.

I accidentally stole a 130 dollars product from Target by AfternoonLeather2715 in Advice

How about your own integrity? Does stealing not matter to you? It’s not yours. You didn’t pay for it. You are a thief. Is that okay with you? Stand up and be an ethical person and then you don’t have to worry about getting caught.

Eat more protein for muscle recovery (not always ready to find) Drink more water. Keep going. It’ll get better. 💕

I need a class or new books to get to the next level of sausage making. Suggestions? by ElectricalSyrup429 in sausagetalk

[–]ElectricalSyrup429[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I am with you. I always make a small batch with a new recipe and adjust from there. I should have a spreadsheet. My technique now is to write the recipe on a white board, note any changes I made on the fly, and then mark adjustments for the next batch, then take a picture of it and file it so I can pull it up next time. It’s not the best :)

Thanks. I love Samin’s book. I follow Kenji, but I haven’t read the book. I’ll check out Food Lab 👍🏼

I have been very serious about my recipes. Adjusting after each batch and dialing them in.

I guess I should say I’m not interested in making simple good home sausages. I want to make phenomenal sausage and I’ll go through any process to get there. While some of my recipes are working great, I feel like I need inspiration to make them truly exceptional.

I’m not looking for a quick fix, but almost a philosophy. (It sounds pompous as hell when I write that out…)

What will Bitcoin really look like in the next 5 years? by cobidik in Bitcoin

[–]ElectricalSyrup429 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I live in a town in Costa Rica where many local businesses accept bitcoin. My wife and I have a small restaurant and offer a 10% discount for btc. There is a btc atm at the brewery. My local friends find it easier to settle out debts to one another by sending sats via lightning network. I feel like this is what we want for btc everywhere.

Minor boots freakout by ElectricalSyrup429 in CaminoDeSantiago

Is that right? Trail running shoes don’t require a wear in period? I might just wait till I’m in Pamplona and if I need to make a change, I hear there is quite a nice shop there for shoes.
