Sourdough beer rye bread.

Awrighty then!

I recommend starting with Jim Lahey’s no knead recipe. Easy and delicious.

Does anyone have any good bread recipes and tips or tricks ?

Sourdough or commercial yeast?

And what flours do you have on hand?

I told Mrs skreef that when the food runs out the cats will be the first to go. I'm saving my very best white soy sauce for such an occasion. Chinese food at the Reef's.

 

 

 

Wait...isn’t that how this started? Someone ate a cat??? 😯

Alright...I'll just leave this right here, but with a NSFW warning:

My wife went to Whole Foods here yesterday (found chicken, but no TP -- a partial win!). The checkout person told her they've been opening an hour early at 7 AM ONLY for elderly to shop first. When the doors open to the general public at 8, they see all the hoarders flood in to raid the shelves that were restocked overnight. Their response is to restock throughout the day to give others a chance. Very interesting. It's just like war.

Measure: hoarders (the enemy) flood the gates at open.

Countermeasure: stores keep stock low at open to deny hoarders.

Anticipating the next step:

Counter-Countermeasure: hoarders stop by multiple times per day to determine whether there is a pattern to restocking times.

Counter by stores: randomize restocking to eliminate any detectable pattern, similar to frequency hopping radios. Could even go spread-spectrum by frequently stocking just a few items at a time. 

repeat

repeat

Soon stores will be using TP false targets -- projecting holograms of bundles of TP to attract the hoarders. Can even use TP-Gate Pull-Off techniques -- the TP hologram moves just ahead of anyone reaching for it, and gradually walks them out the door, denying them their prize.

Update on this. I ended up with both a 120 inch Wood Fired Oven and a 32' KK.

I just couldn't bare to compromise. Thanks for your advice.

Pics of this setup? 😬

Cool! If I find you, can I take your left rear tire and swap it for an old eraser?

Interestingly, there’s a run on chicken here. Can’t find chicken anywhere. Lots of beef and pork. At least folks will be eating healthy through the apocalypse. 

As I told my wife, no worries here. We’ve got a dog and a huge supply of these:

Preparing for the apocalypse with a perfect butt.

Folks don’t seem to know which way is up, or which end is affected by this virus. 

If you would like to try either Crowd Cow or Porter Road, I think I can generate a referral code that gives you a discount -- and probably gives me a kickback or some sort as well. 

Here's one for Crowd Cow that gives you $25 off: https://www.crowdcow.com/l/uodwen7du

And one for Porter Road that gives you $15 off: http://rwrd.io/alyzviu

Corona^TM bread.

Hello everybody. Has anyone out there tried the ButcherBox meat company? Just wondering what they’re like good, bad or just average? Any comments will be appreciated.

I haven't. Some folks on Amazing Ribs have. I think the consensus there is that Porter Road or Crowd Cow are better bets.

Fightin’ back with some Corona^TM Fish Tacos.

Corona Chicken. Drumsticks seasoned with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Coated with a maple sriracha sauce. Cures what ails ya.

With that set up of the Splitter Basket, does that side get enough air since the the Dial on the side has the various sized Holes ?  I have always done it the the other side.  

The splitter has no impact on the airflow under the basket. That is, no matter which vent the air enters from, it is all going through whichever side of the basket provides it a path up and out.

I may have helped sell @BIGSHEP a KK, but now he’s got me pulling in quotes for a solar install!

Can the half main be put on either side? ie, is it reversible?

Yes, absolutely.

Blasphemy ribs! Baby backs cut into individual bones BEFORE they’re rubbed and smoked. More bark per bite!

@Basher - running low?

I keep wondering why Americans don’t eat more lamb. Now I know. It’s because @Basher is hoarding it.
