When i was doing night school i learned really quick that physical books were so much easier on the eyes. It's the one thing i spent extra money on.
Have to get the internal temperature up to 195 degrees. The connective tissue doesn’t fully break down until then. You probably needed another hour for them.
Honestly, buy a cheap electric masterbilt smoker with a meat probe. You can do some light smoking (not top notch but not bad either) that is pretty easy. About 150 bucks will get you one.
Whenever I had to work outside, my thighs were the first thing to get really cold, even with double layers. Very weird.
I know I'm going to get short jokes from this, but when I spent six weeks in SE Iowa mapping soils, it was fairly easy for me to lose my sense of direction in cornfields because the corn was 6-12 inches taller than me. If you can't see any landmarks, you get disoriented quickly. And when you're mapping, you generally need to maintain a specific direction (which isn't always along the rows).
We boil them first, then finish them on the grill w/bbq sauce on them.
Really does seem like old school Minnesota winter right now. Checked my @cowgirl836 type spreadsheet and walkabout windy chili temps have been -22, -17, -14, -9, -14, -22, -24 and than -21 today.
Went to Trader Joe's yesterday. Found a lot of good GF stuff, but the best part was some real Roquefort cheese. Had some last night, it was awesome. Wish I could find some real Roquefort salad dressing somewhere.
And BTW, @ImJustKCClone is right, wild turkeys DO fly. When deer hunting, it's a little crazy to see them winging through the timber. They're so big they look like they'll smash into a tree at any moment.
I was riding my motorcycle down a road real near the Missouri river and about 30 wild turkeys came flying across the road, real low. I stopped in time to just them all go by, then waited a bit longer for any stragglers until moving on.
Can you tell me what I'm looking at here?I don't think I've ever seen something like this.
Road conditions is a stretch, considering the shadows on east/west coasts. I thought maybe a temperature gradient, but without the key it's really impossible.
Pretty sure it's weather advisories. I saw a similar map on Saturday or Sunday that said Georgia was one of only like 5 states that didn't have some sort of winter weather advisory.
Pink is winter storm warning, just never seen that much of it that far south.
Oops it changed from when I posted it. The entire states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and New Mexico were under a winter storm warning.
Yep. If you go to weather.gov it's their front page always. Shows you the warnings/watches/advisories across the entire US. If you're a weather junkie it's a quick way to see who/where is getting the interesting weather.
Like mentioned the pink is a winter weather warning and the darker light blue is wind chill warning
