No not Russian! Life!

I'll share one of my most used and successful hacks from this morning. Here goes…

Screw hole too big? Hotdog in a hallway kind of too big? Shove a or some wood toothpicks in and break/cut them off flush. Essentially a small dowel. Works perfect every time.

What you got ?

I'm still laughing at the 'hotdog in a hallway' which I hadn't heard since my buddy, who was 25 at the time, found himself in bed with a 49 yr old attractive divorcee in the late 1970s.

Can you guess how he described the experience?
 
Milk crates to put grow bags in...7gal fit perfectly.
Can also be used as a platform underneath...they stack great.

That’s quality.

My latest is a consequence of two things:
1) I fry a lot of 73% beef, and I’m not dumb enough to send the grease down the drain.
2) I recently lucked into the companionship of a pupper. Beneful wet food comes in these awesome 4-oz snap-top tubs. I pour my pan grease in there until almost full, snap the lid on, and it’s in the trash and not the plumbing.

I got an Instant Pot Duo Crisp for Christmas! Yesterday I air-fried my first chicken. Dee lish.

The hack: the fryer basket picked up some charred-on chicken juice that didn’t sponge off or yield to the blue Scotch pads.

So I put it back into the instant pot with two cups of water containing a few drops of dish soap and a teaspoon of Oxi Clean. I pressure cooked it on “high” for ten minutes, and after that I could use the blue pad to return the basket to new condition.

Next big project is a rib roast sous vide.
