Luckily they visited me twice in that time. 


How did your weekend with your family go?  I painted my living room back to white and put together a new book shelf that came in.  Now all I need are some new books to put on it.  :rofl:


It was great, thanks, Pinkie.
That sounds lonely. Home, paint, bookshelves, reading.
I liked the hiking bit more.

yeah, I would have preferred to be doing something else, but I have put off doing these tasks for months!  I just forced myself to stay in and get it done.  Plus side, that book shelf box and paint is no longer sitting in my dining room!  Did you bbq this weekend?

No Pinkie. 
I have a stew on the stove now.
On Friday night the wife’s daughter and her fiancé is sleeping over, so we are planning another rib and lamb tjops on the coals. Need to put the rib in some sauce now. Some olive oil and balsamic.

Super yum, but won't marinating the meat this long spoil it?  I thought I read that you can spoil meat if you marinate for too long?

Yes, you must know your timing, but rib can be very tough fresh on the fire. 
So it needs longer time. 
I do not marinade any other meat that I normally use. 
I might age fresh steak by leaving it outside the fridge for a few nights in summer, few days in winter.

Have any of you ever tried to dry age your meats?

You need special climate in order to dry stuff outdoors.  Nordic peeps do it because of salt in air and perfect temps.

True, but either way to correctly age beef from your home like 21 days, which is when you get the magic happening, you need to have the right gear, temp and you need to follow instructions. 

But if you nail it, you get it.  I only know this because our neighbor ages meet as a hobby.  He's been doing this for a very long time.

Too lazy. 
We can buy aged meat.
And that is the same principle with my ribs in marinade for a few days. Aging.

Too expensive to go just for a steak. :pinch:

Will I get in without a vax passport? 
No vaccination for the general public for at least 6 months. 
Africa, the bastard of the world is last in the queue again. 
Not that I am taking it. 
I’ll stall as long as possible.

You haven't had steak from Gallaghers Steakhouse.  It's worth it.  :beerbang:
