OT - What are you doing right now? Mk2

@CPFC1905 I would hope those sheep would connect the dots and look at your new girlfriend with an eye of concern as a potential final resting place.  Behave or else.

I am thinking of spreading herbs and spices across the grass as a kind of seasoning investment. 😁

Smoked Red Bellpeppers 48 hours for sweet smoked paprika ...goi g to use in a Mild Spanish Dried Chorizo 

Put my spice blend together , will by hand cutting and stuffing tomorrow 1.9 kg is all...this has my homemade granulated garlic , hoping it's as good as the last Chorizo I did minus the heat 

Finally got around to cutting and stuffing, again for those wanting to give this a try without grinders and stuffers, I hand cut and stuff the smaller batches 

My Gatorade Stuffer



Stuffed and Netted, wrap the pan with cling wrap to keep the humidity up during the ferment







Pressed with Bricks, I put in the oven but it is warm enough now to leave out, ferment @ 75-90 until PH Reaches 4.9 ( for the culture I use ) about 24 hours 

The Bell Peppers I smoked really are going to shine though, this should be good

Searching for a 90 day rental house/cabin in the North Georgia Mountains. Clayton-ish.  So tired of looking at vrbo and abnb.  Anybody know anybody?

We move from 'mission move' to 'project restart'.




SWMBO greeted the event with   'Are you a bit happier now your girlfriend is here?'.    I felt that wasn't the time to say,  'I have just spent £200 on an Eggspander and plancha, too - as if she wasn't gorgeous enough already'.

Once things properly get underway I hope to send another image of the sheep watching me over the fence.  Given they consumed SWMBO's new jasmine plants we left near the fence yesterday, I think she'll be chasing them about the field with a spring of mint quite soon. 

Gorgeous view!!

Not a bad view for the next few days

@fishlessman I've been away for a few days and sure didn't want to come back to your news.

Stay safe out there, and here's to a quick recovery...

@lkapigian I guess I never thought about it - how do you check the pH of the solid, sealed sausage?

Glad to see this thread come back! As others have said the “what are you doing right now” was one of my favorites! 

Made some Hawaiian bread dusted with sugar because why not.



I have also been getting frustrated with my top dome bands. Reached out to the mother ship a few days ago.

Hello!
How are you?:) can I ask, why sugar on the bread..? (I have IR, so I am so picky on this topic) What kind of flour did you use? Maybe that is why you added the sugar?

And thread-related: 

I am currently at work, after lunch, this is day is equal to zero, most of the ppl are in home office and this a shame that the front reception should be open, and I have to sit here long hours!!! there is no work which I couldn't do from home!!! BTW I resigned last week..
So now I am surfing the net for recipes, forums , and reading jokes to keep me entertained I share you one, if you also bored: https://www.jokestjokes.com/Eggs_and_Answers

Waging war against our city/parish government planning zoning commission. Been fighting them about Air B and B/VRBO in our community. Meeting Monday night to approve their amendment to our development code. I hate this crap

I haven't been keeping up - you're for or against Air BnB?

Interesting article.

likely based on some made up BS, but congrats, @RRP Peoria made the cut...

French toast for the whole in-laws side of the family this morning.  Fresh bread, fruit from the little stand down the road, and whipped cream.

Getting checked out by my sister in laws Great Dane, big sweet and goofy dog.

Against. It has its places and uses such as high rise condos on the beach where there are no permanent tenants. Has no place in my neighborhood where they don’t background check for sexual predators and there’s no regulation over occupancy. We’re also a mere 300 feet from a public school

Me as well, Newsom wiped out single family zoning in California 

In CA you can now divide a home into 3 ( including garage conversions ) and rent out as individual units with no on site owner..." To battle the housing crisis" he says.

I one house across the street from me they average 30 families each month, so I have 30 new neighbors to deal with ...that's just one house

House in question is a 1300 sq foot 3 bed 2 bath that gets a whopping $120 a night. In the last 12 months we’ve had a wedding, a Lifetime network movie filmed, countless baby showers, numerous parties and a whole slew of guests. Parking is non-existent. We filed complaints, called the police, even got them served with a letter of abatement. Response from the city government is to allow it with a blanket approval. This coming on the day we were supposed to have our face to face meeting with planning and zoning, legal and the city council. We now have until Monday at 5 to form an argument to try and dissuade it from passing.

I Think you are in Ca, good luck...I have been getting results through the Code Department , took pictures of the AirBnb Website showing how the house was remodeled without Permits

Our County has an ordinance, that prohibits the weddings and such, the city is drafting one now, unfortunately AB68 is   Lets Triplex California in Single Family Neighborhoods 

Complain to the AirBnB repeatedly and relentlessly about that address, they will Lose the "Super Host" Status

Brand new threads seem to be getting an extra set of eyes these days.  The nola-squirrel one from last night was sunk almost immediately.  

All that is to say, I don't think this one is in much danger, at least not as long as Lit stays away...

Louisiana here. Problem is the city/parish is trying to be “forward thinking and all inclusive”. That’s great, this ain’t Austin, Texas or anything near San Francisco. They added bike lanes everywhere that tie up traffic and even had Bird scooters for a few months until they were deemed illegal. Enough is enough. You want to buy a rental and put a long term tenant in it, be my guest.

Shouldn't a hardcore conservative champion free market ideals that value the freedom of private citizens doing as they please with their own property?
