What you having for dinner tonight?
Interesting, very similar to Biltong How long is the shelf life after you take it out the dryer? Do you ever get any mold on the Jerky, I have noticed that after 2-3 days I get a faint white powder on my meat and I'm not sure if this is normal I don't think you're supposed to get any bloom. But you're probably better off asking a proper old Boer. Yeah I'm going to chat to a Butcher tomorrow, its not a big deal but its still something I want to confirm

Shady how do you make your Jerky, I want to compare it to the process of making Biltong. What I do is typically take uncooked Silverside beef and cut it strips of about 15 cm Marinade the beef in brown vinegar and spices for about 4 hours. I then put the meat in the meat dryer for about 3-5 days. I check the meat after 3 days for the right texture

Pan fried you mean afterwards to give it some color or how does that work? because I am used to make something that sounds very similar only in tinfoil in the oven and grill it a bit in the end. He means you cook the chop in frying pan as opposed to an oven. Its how we cook smaller pieces of meat. I generally do the same with Steak and chops. You obviously can't cook large pieces of meat like this as the meat won't be cooked all the way through but frying chops does add some nice caramelization

What are you playing now?
Nice, I wanted this KS to be a success I'm playing Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood at the moment, its loads of fun. I am enjoying the whole Western theme, its a nice change but I realize how much I miss Red Dead Redemption. The only thing I don't like is the gun duels part of the game, its frustrating but I am winning the duels

What's on the idiot box... Part 2
Yeah the time lapse between the books can take ages, I read them all about 3 years ago and then Dance with Dragons when it was released so the story was relatively fresh in my mind

What's on the idiot box... Part 2
It does look absolutely enthralling, I just wish it was mandatory for everyone to read the books. Then they would understand true entertainment But if everyone read the books they would know why Tyrion is in chains and we couldn't be all waiting for them to find out all excitedly. True but the books offer more insight and mental stimulation than the movies around the characters and there motives. You can still watch the TV series for the visual experience. If by visual experience, you mean all the fine ladies in the show, then yes, I watch it for that reason. Yes the ladies are well worth seeing, especially Daenerys Targaryen

Bringing science into it, that's no fun! ... I think I'm just going to blame my cat. He's probably putting hexes on me for not feeding him in a timely manner. Yes, that's it. yeah it must be the cat

I'll gladly send you some but I don't think your customs will let it into the country? I've eaten jerky in the USA and its very tasty but biltong has a more robust taste. I found jerky to be sweeter than biltong, but I suppose I ate jerky in Vegas so it probably doesn't represent jerky in other parts of the states

What you having for dinner tonight?
My biltong came out perfectly, it was a success Now the next step is to start playing with different spicing and marinades. The texture is fine but I want to improve the flavour or look at unusual ways to improve the taste.

Kerry's Israeli/Palestinian peace talks
Zor its not very nice to call yourself a narcissist. You do realize thats a negative word? You should do what I do, you should only debate when you know you right as that way you aren't being arrogant. You are helping people learn something new

What are you playing now?
I've just finished Amnesia: Machine for Pigs and I really enjoyed it, a well deserved 70/100. I went into the game with relatively low expectations but was pleasantly surprised. The things I liked were I did get scared in several places The puzzles weren't too hard or frustrating I was captivated by the horror of what happened during the narrative Here's to the next one

Is that how it works with the whole wood thing, I thought the floating was just a sign of a witch and not indicating witches are made of wood ? http://listverse.com/2012/07/27/10-tests-for-guilt-used-at-the-salem-witch-trials/ And if it is good enough for King Arthur... Aaaahhh..okay. Good one, I see now

1) I'm not dressed as a witch 2) I didn't turn anybody into a newt (and if I did, they wouldn't get better) 3) I'm not made of wood 4) I don't weight the same as a duck But the real question is do you float or sink when thrown into water....that's the most accurate gauge of witchcraft
