Phil would buy a random vacuum sealer on a whim and film a video and seal a few silly things and forget about it but Dan would get it in his head that actually a good vacuum sealer could be useful in furthering his minimalist agenda and spend a week going down a vacuum sealer rabbit hole trying to find the best one and learning everything he can about them before selecting one, then spend the next couple weeks vacuum sealing everything that can be vacuum sealed for storage purposes, before the vacuum sealer ends up with the empty fish tank and Phil is asking him for the hundredth time where his minecraft pajamas are

you understand. you understand perfectly.

also re label maker: dan would have a Perfect System that worked for approx one week until they BOTH started ignoring it. Dan would blame Phil for things being "out of place" but it would be both of them.

"The best revenge..."

...is living and eating WELL while (and in spite of) living in poverty.

I actually had the gumption to try and have a cafe 30 or so years ago, and I live with a guy who had his own bakery: a Danish-trained Chef currently working as a Sous Chef at a big hotel in The City, and his 21 yr old son (who has literally been an assistant sous chef to his dad his whole life).

We're all barely afloat, his son is looking for his first real job-job "out there", and getting discouraged. Y'all hear regularly about my poverty status, and my roomie chef is doin' as much as he can, and we're all three freakin' broke.

Fuck it. We may be broke, but we are are gonna Eat as best we can with what we got. So to the current example.

Yes, I know how to cook Mexican Food like any native ex-south-texan worth his salt and lime. Yes I learned how mama/grandma did it, either mine or someone else's.

Roomie and I are carnivores, son is veg. We all agree that Mexican Food is good, so I'm always looking for how to spend my "old-fuck-on-food-stamps EBT the best way.

Behold, Example 1: 20 lb. bag of dried pinto beans.

20 lbs for $17. And lookee there: it's Fiesta, no stranger to this former Austinite. And anyone who knows knows that this boy knows how to make a pot o'pintos, with/without carnivorousness. Keep 'em on the stove long enough you got Refrieds.

Somebody at Groce-Out is from Texas, gotta be: They have Velveeta and Rotel (for QUESO!) at near-normal prices! I laughed today. Velveeta was 6.99 at Groce-Out, and I shit you not, $14.95 at Lucky.

Got that along with a couple 2-lb bags of their "Hollis Street" whole bean French Roast (Dark) for $11.95 ea. This is surprisingly good coffee beanage, freshly roasted right up the road in Emeryville, evidently. So good coffee for cheap. A similar brand at the 'non discount' grocery store I go to is $21 for a 2lb bag.

While they aren't the winner in the coffee bean competition, Lucky (the non-discount store) is great for meat, especially mid-week, when they have lots of specials. Their "megapaks" of chicken thighs (10/pkg) were buy one get one free. So for ten bucks, I got 20 thighs (over 7lbs), which, when roasted with lots of salt and pepper, and cooled and shredded and deboned become something like 4 pounds of Chicken Enchilada Meat. For ten bucks.

Tomorrow I go to another discount store closeby roomie told me about that has the best commercial Hatch Chile in a jar I have ever found. Tastes like mine, when we would get a case at a time at Central Market, get 'em roasted in the parking lot, and take 'em home and shuck most of the the skins/seeds, and saute onion and garlic and add. In. A. Fucking. Jar.

So you see where this is heading.

We will be having a TexMex Enchilada/taco Feast that can be repeated at will until we've eaten/given enough away. Freezer. Vacuum sealer. Oooooooom.

And yeah, we got the dessert thing covered. I buy flour, the three sugars, butter, real cream, good organic milk, good brown eggs. I bake everything from fucking scratch. I buy berries and grapes as my main fruit. I don't buy a lot of processed ANYTHING. I buy ingredients. And bread/tortillas, obvs. And I'm happy I have the "card" that gives me my eeked-out apportionment of "food funds".

So that old adage of "The Best Revenge" being "living well" means we may be fucking poor, but goddammit, we are gonna Eat, with a capital E if I have anything to say about it.

All three of us are pretty much clinging to the same leaky life-raft, this accursed but oh-so-necessary apartment, not much overlap in our lives/diets/schedules, but every once in awhile I get to go back into "restaurant mode" and do up a Massive Feed. Share with the neighbors and stock the freezer.

And a pot of beans on the stove in perpetuity.

Upgrade your kitchen with our glass vacuum container! Preserve freshness, prevent food waste, and store meals with ease. Ideal for dry goods, leftovers, and meal prep. Durable, airtight, and eco-friendly. Order now for a fresher lifestyle!

[forgottenyear]

I was given a used upright freezer years ago. The only place I was allowed to keep it was in the garage. With a cheap vacuum sealer, this has allowed me to buy some foods in bulk and while the prices have been best. If we had bought the freezer new, it would already have paid for itself.

My partner, in their current episode of rage, did not close the door completely, Tuesday. I did not discover this until three hours later, when I went to retrieve a bag of fries. The bag was in the middle of a pile on one shelf and was above refrigerator temperature when I brought it in for cooking.

Everything in the packed freezer must be assumed to have thawed.

--

1. I have food issues. I hoard food. I do a good job of managing this, but only on average and with wide swings. The past few years, with random shortages, have played havoc with my issues.

2. My partner is raging about everything and nothing right now and is the worst they have ever been. My partner does not accept that they have done anything wrong and will blame the responses of others instead.

Therefore: I will need to push myself to throw away hundreds of dollars-worth of food, and my partner will accuse me of wasting money.

I will not be allowed or able to replenish this food anytime soon.

--

My anxiety is not good.

[cakeandcloth]

All of these tips work great for the disabled/ chronically fatigued people too.

Stairs are a major hudle for me, so I don't generally go downstairs for food more than once a day. That means no cold stuff during the day or fresh fruits where the cores or peels will stink up my home office trash. So I'm eating dried fruit, and protein bars/ drinks, and cheese that stays good all day.

Make your environment work for you. Do your prep sitting down. Pay more for the prepackaged stuff that will actually get eaten. Because guess what? That $2.50 bag of chopped broccoli may be more expensive than the $1.50 whole head, but it's a whole heck of a lot cheaper than the $10, $15, $20 you've wasted letting that broccoli rot and feeling guilty that you couldn't get to it. The best food is food you can eat.

Also, if you can afford it get a food vacuum sealer. They're about 100 bucks and usually go on sale on Amazon around any big shopping day. They don't take up too much room, and they help your food last soooo much longer in the freezer. And it makes portioning your food and meal prep so easy.

Cypress Pine Floor Sanding Gold Coast: Tips for Long-Lasting, Beautiful Floors

Cypress pine flooring is a timeless and character-rich choice for many homes across Australia, particularly in coastal regions like the Gold Coast. Renowned for its golden hues, unique knots, and durable nature, cypress pine offers both aesthetic appeal and longevity. However, maintaining its beauty requires expert sanding and finishing techniques. This guide provides essential tips for Cypress Pine Floor Sanding Gold Coast homeowners and renovators seeking to enhance and preserve their timber floors.

Why Choose Cypress Pine for Flooring?

Cypress pine is a native Australian softwood with natural resistance to termites and decay. Its distinctive grain patterns and warm tones make it an attractive flooring option for both contemporary and traditional interiors. Over time, however, daily wear and environmental exposure can dull its surface, making Cypress Pine Floor Sanding Gold Coast services vital for restoration and maintenance.

Understanding the Sanding Process

1. Floor Assessment

Before any sanding begins, it's crucial to assess the floor's condition. Look for signs of cupping, gaps, stains, or surface damage. Cypress pine can be softer than other timbers, so it requires a tailored approach during sanding to prevent over-sanding and surface irregularities.

2. Equipment Selection

Using the right sanding equipment is essential. Professional-grade belt sanders and edgers are ideal for achieving a smooth, even finish. Since cypress pine produces a distinctive resin and dust, appropriate filters and safety gear are necessary to manage dust particles and ensure air quality.

3. Grit Progression

Start with a coarse grit to remove old finishes and level the surface. Gradually progress to finer grits to achieve a smooth base ready for coating. Due to the softness of cypress pine, care must be taken to avoid gouges or swirl marks, making each sanding pass critically important.

Key Tips for Best Results in Cypress Pine Floor Sanding Gold Coast

1. Timing is Everything

Avoid sanding floors during periods of high humidity, which can affect the wood’s moisture content. Dry, mild weather typical of the Gold Coast's off-peak seasons provides the best conditions for sanding and sealing.

2. Fill the Gaps and Cracks

Use compatible timber filler to repair small gaps and imperfections. Cypress pine can expand and contract slightly with climate changes, so flexible fillers are recommended to accommodate natural movement.

3. Choose the Right Finish

The final finish impacts both the look and durability of the floor. Options include water-based polyurethanes, oil-based sealers, or natural waxes. For Cypress Pine Floor Sanding Gold Coast, water-based finishes are popular due to their fast drying times and clear, non-yellowing appearance.

4. Allow Proper Curing Time

After sanding and finishing, allow the floor to cure fully before placing furniture or walking with shoes. Rushing this step can cause imprints or finish imperfections, especially in humid Gold Coast climates.

Maintenance After Sanding

To ensure long-lasting results from Cypress Pine Floor Sanding Gold Coast, follow these maintenance practices:

Regular Dusting and Vacuuming: Prevent abrasive particles from scratching the surface.

Use Rugs and Mats: Protect high-traffic areas, especially near doorways and hallways.

Avoid Excess Moisture: Clean up spills promptly and avoid wet mopping.

Furniture Pads: Attach felt pads under furniture legs to prevent dents or scratches.

When to Re-Sand Cypress Pine Floors

Even with regular care, floors may eventually require re-sanding. This is typically needed every 7–10 years, depending on usage. Signs include deep scratches, fading, and loss of finish integrity. Engaging professional Cypress Pine Floor Sanding Gold Coast services ensures the job is done safely and effectively, prolonging the life and beauty of your flooring.

Final Thoughts

Cypress pine floors are a standout feature in many Gold Coast homes, offering natural beauty and durability. However, preserving their appearance requires expert attention. By following the right techniques and maintenance strategies, Cypress Pine Floor Sanding Gold Coast can breathe new life into aging timber floors, restoring their original charm and enhancing the value of any property. Prioritising professional service, high-quality finishes, and ongoing care will ensure your floors remain a highlight of your home for years to come.

Venison Processing Equipment: Essential Tools for Efficient Meat Processing

Venison, a lean and flavorful meat from deer, has become a popular choice for hunters and consumers alike. However, processing venison at home requires specialized equipment to ensure the meat is properly handled, preserved, and prepared for consumption. Whether you're a seasoned hunter or a first-time processor, having the right venison processing equipment is crucial for achieving the best results. This article will explore the essential tools needed to process venison effectively.

1. Butcher Knife

A high-quality butcher knife is one of the most important tools for any venison processor. Venison tends to be leaner and tougher than beef or pork, so it's crucial to have a sharp knife that can handle the job. A butcher knife with a strong, durable blade and an ergonomic handle will allow you to efficiently break down the deer into manageable cuts.

Key Features to Look For:

High-carbon steel blade for sharpness and longevity.

Ergonomic handle for comfort during long processing sessions.

A 5-6 inch blade is ideal for precision when trimming meat and working with smaller cuts.

2. Boning Knife

After removing the skin, you’ll need a boning knife to separate the meat from the bones. This knife typically has a thin, flexible blade that allows for more precision around the bone. Boning knives are essential for getting the most meat off the carcass without wasting.

Key Features to Look For:

A flexible blade that can bend around bones without breaking.

Lightweight design for better maneuverability.

5-7 inch blade to access tight spaces.

3. Meat Grinder

Grinding venison is a popular way to make ground meat for sausages, burgers, or stews. A meat grinder speeds up the process of turning larger cuts into ground venison. It’s important to choose a grinder that can handle the amount of venison you're processing, especially if you're working with large quantities.

Key Features to Look For:

Stainless steel construction for durability and easy cleaning.

Multiple grinding plates to adjust the coarseness of the grind.

Powerful motor to process through tough cuts of venison.

Look for a manual or electric grinder, depending on your preference and processing volume.

4. Deer Skinning Knife

Skinning a deer is one of the first steps in venison processing. A specialized skinning knife allows you to remove the hide quickly and efficiently. The blade typically has a curved shape to make it easier to cut around the legs, neck, and chest.

Key Features to Look For:

Curved, sharp blade for precision when cutting the skin.

Non-slip handle to ensure safety while working with the sharp knife.

Blade length around 4 to 6 inches for better control.

5. Meat Saws

For larger game, a meat saw is necessary to cut through bones and joints when breaking down the carcass. A bone saw with a fine-toothed blade is ideal for venison, ensuring a smooth cut without damaging the meat.

Key Features to Look For:

High-quality steel blade for cutting through bone.

Ergonomic handle to reduce hand fatigue during long cutting sessions.

Adjustable tension to keep the saw blade tight.

6. Vacuum Sealer

Proper storage is key to preserving venison for later use. A vacuum sealer removes air from packaging, preventing freezer burn and extending the shelf life of the meat. This tool is indispensable if you plan to store large quantities of venison.

Key Features to Look For:

Heavy-duty motor for long-term use.

Multiple sealing settings for different types of packaging.

Compact design for easy storage and portability.

7. Grinding Plates and Sausage Stuffers

If you're interested in making venison sausages, having a set of grinding plates and a sausage stuffer is essential. Grinding plates come in various sizes, allowing you to control the texture of the ground meat. Sausage stuffers are designed to fill casings with your ground venison, creating sausages of different sizes.

Key Features to Look For:

Variety of grinding plates for different textures of ground venison.

Sausage stuffing tubes for creating various sausage types.

Heavy-duty construction to handle large quantities of meat.

8. Processing Tables

Having a clean, organized space to process venison is essential. A sturdy processing table with a smooth surface helps keep things sanitary and efficient. Stainless steel tables are ideal for venison processing because they are easy to clean and resistant to contamination.

Key Features to Look For:

Stainless steel surface for easy cleaning and sanitation.

Large working surface area to accommodate the whole carcass.

Built-in drawers or shelves for storing tools and equipment.

9. Meat Hooks and Hangers

When processing venison, hanging the carcass is essential for proper butchering. Meat hooks and hangers allow you to suspend the deer while working, providing better access to different parts of the body. They also facilitate proper aging and drying of the meat.

Key Features to Look For:

Heavy-duty construction to support the weight of the carcass.

Corrosion-resistant materials, like stainless steel.

Adjustable height to accommodate different processing needs.

10. Cleaning Supplies

Keeping your venison processing area clean is important for both hygiene and meat quality. High-quality cleaning tools, such as scrub brushes, sanitizing wipes, and food-safe disinfectants, are essential to avoid cross-contamination during processing.

Key Features to Look For:

Non-toxic cleaners for food safety.

Durable scrub brushes for cleaning knives and equipment.

Sanitizing wipes for quick clean-ups between steps.

Conclusion Processing venison at home requires an investment in the right equipment to ensure the meat is handled properly, remains safe, and tastes great. From knives to grinders to vacuum sealers, each tool plays a vital role in producing quality venison cuts. Whether you're a hunter who processes your own game or someone looking to get into meat processing, choosing the right equipment can make the process more efficient, safer, and ultimately, more enjoyable.

The Best Flooring Options for Allergy Sufferers

The Best Flooring Options for Allergy Sufferers

Author, Written by:  Bledy (Installation Expert and Technical Writer)

If you or your family members struggle with allergies, your flooring choice can make a surprising difference. Some floors trap dust, pet dander, pollen, and mold, while others make it easier to keep allergens at bay. If you’re looking for allergy-friendly options that keep your indoor air cleaner, here are the best flooring choices to consider.

1. Hardwood Flooring 🌳

✔ Easy to sweep and vacuum, with no fibers to trap dust or pollen. ✔ Works well with hypoallergenic finishes like low-VOC sealants. ✔ Suitable for bedrooms, living areas, and hallways.

Pro Tip: Choose wide planks to reduce the number of seams where allergens can collect.

2. Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVT) 🌿

✔ Non-porous surface resists dust, mold, and moisture. ✔ Easy to mop and clean with allergy-safe products. ✔ Available in wood, stone, or tile looks.

Pro Tip: Go for low-emission (FloorScore certified) vinyl to avoid irritating indoor air quality.

3. Tile Flooring (Porcelain or Ceramic) 🔲

✔ One of the most hypoallergenic flooring types. ✔ Resists mold, mildew, and dust buildup. ✔ Perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, and allergy-prone areas.

Pro Tip: Use low-VOC grout and sealers to maintain cleaner air quality.

4. Cork Flooring 🌱

✔ Naturally antimicrobial and mold-resistant. ✔ Hypoallergenic surface resists dust mites. ✔ Soft underfoot but doesn’t trap allergens like carpets.

Pro Tip: Choose cork with a non-toxic, low-VOC finish for allergy-sensitive homes.

5. Bamboo Flooring 🎋

✔ Dense surface resists dust buildup. ✔ Eco-friendly and naturally antimicrobial. ✔ Works well in living rooms, bedrooms, and even kitchens.

Pro Tip: Choose strand-woven bamboo for extra durability and allergy protection.

Flooring to Avoid if You Have Allergies 🚫

❌ Wall-to-Wall Carpet – Traps dust, dander, and pollen, even with regular cleaning. ❌ High-VOC Flooring – Some cheaper laminates and vinyl can release volatile organic compounds that irritate sensitive airways. ❌ Softwoods – More porous, meaning they can trap allergens over time.

A Cleaner Home Starts from the Ground Up

Choosing allergy-friendly flooring helps create a healthier home environment with fewer allergens lurking underfoot. Whether you love the natural beauty of hardwood or the easy care of tile or vinyl, there’s a perfect option to keep your floors stylish and sneeze-free.
