Homemade Jerky<\/p><\/div>\n

Upon doing some research, I’ve decided to try my own hand at making beef jerky.\u00a0 The instructions seem pretty straight forward – de-fat, slice thin, marinate, dehydrate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bob purchased a 3.5 lb. lean shoulder roast.\u00a0 I slipped it into the freezer for a short time to make it frosty and easy to slice thinly.\u00a0 For the first batch, I decided to use a basic marinade of soy sauce, Worcestershire, garlic, onion, ginger and course pepper.\u00a0 Had I had some, I’d have probably added a few drops of Liquid Smoke but it should be delicious without it.\u00a0 Tonight I’ve loaded the dehydrator, anxiously anticipating yummy fresh jerky sometime tomorrow.\u00a0 It smells HEAVENLY already!<\/span><\/p>\n

After deciding I’m sick of looking at the same old Lemoyne Star quilt in the frame, I’ve been devoting several hours each day in an attempt to finish it.\u00a0 There are only a few more hours of quilting until it comes out of the frame and I apply the edge binding.\u00a0 I’m ready to see it finished and washed.

I’ve recently purchased a new android cellphone.\u00a0 It’s an amazing toy and I’m very pleased with it.\u00a0 Since I have no MP3 player, I’ve really enjoyed using the cellphone for listening to music while I quilt.\u00a0 My cell plan allows unlimited data transfer so I’ve loaded Pandora\u00ae on the phone and with ear buds, I can listen to my favorite music without disturbing anyone.\u00a0 It’s made the quilting hours fly past.<\/span><\/p>\n
