Read me or not, I'm here.
I’m all for the second amendment. My mother is a holocaust survivor and I won’t give up my right to defend myself from anyone including the government. Yep. People felt very safe in the 30’s in Europe, and were killed shortly after by the millions. Having the ability to defend yourself is a way to … Read more
I’ve been using QuickBooks for over 20 years, and been using Quicken for even longer. Neither was ever cheap, and the user interface and ease of use, well, gently put, left a lot to be desired. There were also technical issues, and were not always trivial to solve or get a solution for (and I’m … Read more
Cheeky? I’m sure that if I’ll do a DNA test they’ll find that I’m as British as Elizabeth Warren AKA Pocahontas is Native American, so you can call me Sir Cookalot, and I’ll use British slang. I’m a sucker for beef on sale. I went to Walmart for something and saw beef cheek on sale, … Read more
Simple and tasty, I fused east and far east in the west. Made myself a kind of frittata, and it really needed some sort of a condiment. So this is what I whipped together (and named..): DSS – Devil’s Silk Sauce Ingredients: 3 tbsp tahini paste 1tsp Gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste) 2 tsp lemon … Read more

It’s much softer (if done right) than beef jerky and more of a pure meat flavor. I sometimes use it as bacon, though it is … Read more
In high school, maybe sophomore year, I had a girlfriend called Esther for a couple of months. She lived in Shchoonat Hatikva which literally means Hope Neighborhood and hope was really needed there. Anyway… I used to ride my bicycle to her house, and one of the times when I arrived her mother was pealing … Read more
Sometime things just work out the way they should. It was snowing the whole day (it’s early afternoon, should stop soon) and I’m home. I made myself a veggie/beef/biltong kung pao which came out really good (maybe I’ll recreate and document sometime), and then made myself coffee for dessert – but as it was brewing, … Read more
For a few weeks now I’ve been suspecting that Omicron might also be transmitted by touch or even surfaces, much like the flu or the common cold, not just through droplets in the air. I absolutely have no scientific base for that assumption, just a hunch, so this might be completely wrong. I base this … Read more
