Why would someone install inline and anti-siphon valves?
Comments (2)Homer - Many thanks for the response! I have no idea how, or if, the two in-line valves are protected. I know where the irrigation piping comes in from the street (there is a simple on/off in-line valve there) and where it comes into the box in the photo. Would the vacuum breaker or RPZ be buried? Would it be located where the main line comes in from the street or near the house? I will install the filter and regulator in the box just downstream of the valve. I'm assume one of the simple in-line filters is sufficient? Thanks again!!...See MoreWhy would someone steal a bee hive?
Comments (2)Some people will take anything that they can get their thieving hands on. Used hives are not valuable, at least not to a knowledgeable beekeeper. If a hive is infested with American Foul Brood, the only cure is to burn the hive and everything associated with it. Your hive wasn't, but anyone buying the hive from the thieves wouldn't be able to tell if it was infected or not. I hope the bees stung the bee-jeezus out of the thieves!...See MoreWhy would someone take my discarded cut tree?
Comments (22)It was a beautiful tree, full and densely branched however by the time I chopped off the bottom branches it did look rather bizarre. Using it for mulch was the only idea I had thought of - but then I wondered why they left behind all the big branches. That's interesting about giving it to the horses for amusement and as a social gathering hang out for the fish. I'm glad someone had a use for it. Now where is my secret admirer these days?...See MoreDoes someone have a T&T recipe for beef jerky?
Comments (11)Here's a recipe which I have worked up for my dehydrator; it makes terrific jerky. Please note that it is used to dry and flavor the beef, and it is NOT cured; that is, I don't know if it will be safe to store this stuff at room temperature or not. I keep the product in the freezer anyway. I've never used an oven to dry the stuff, although I suppose you could if it came down to a low temp. At any rate, this recipe is a good starting point: Guinness Beef Jerky Marinade (This amount of marinade is sufficient for about 5 to 6 pounds of beef, which I find fill my eight dehydrator trays fairly full.) 6 lbs lean beef, sliced thinly--see Note 1 2 bottles (12-14 oz each) Guinness Stout 2 tablespoons kosher salt 2 tablespoons garlic powder 2-4 tablespoons hot stuff (see Notes 2 and 3) optional: liquid smoke, 1 to 2 tbsp In a large bowl pour stout and add salt, whisking to dissolve salt and decarbonate the stout. Add the garlic powder and hot stuff and mix well. Put the beef strips in the marinade by handfuls, swirling around to make sure all surfaces have come in contact with the marinade. Place the beef in a nonreactive container (a stainless stockpot works fine, pour the remaining marinade over the beef and refrigerate for at least an hour (more is better, mixing the beef strips every so often in the pot) Place the strips flat on the trays and dry until done. Note 1: I like to use round roast because it's very lean; eye of round is very easy to slice across the grain, and that yields a less stringy product. Don't use a fatty cut because it won't dry as thoroughly and won't have the storage properties of a leaner cut. Note 2: I have used chipotle powder with good results; 4 tablespoons in this recipe makes a quite hot product, and 2 tbsp makes a pleasantly zingy one. If you want something quite mild, use sweet paprika which would make a product not at all hot but with pleasant flavor. Note 3: The last batch I made, I used a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce instead of the tablespoons of hot stuff, blended in the blender until smooth, then I added the other ingredients and blended until mixed. Worked great, although next time I will cut back a little on the salt. I prefer to dry it fairly dry and store it in several small (1 qt) ziploc bags in the freezer, transferring one bag at a time to the fridge from which I take a piece or two at a time to snack on. None of it has ever gone bad storing it that way....See Moreroco0101
