I've not kept up with the idea of posting twice each month, and as much as I would like to say that's because I've been too busy to write it would be more accurate to say that I've been too busy to pursue interesting projects on which I could write. I've mostly been readjusting to life back in Tucson after a summer away and settling back into old routines. I did take the time to make a 2.5 lb batch of jerky which received positive reviews, the recipe can was found here and only the amount of liquid smoke was altered (1 cup sounded insane, used 1/8th instead). I'm going to make a renewed effort to update this blog as projects come along.
