What are you feeding your Ranger owner tonight?

I don't think so. This is a burr mill and is supposed to go to 400 mesh but I have my doubts. I think the 00 is stone ground from a soft and hard wheat mix. We actually quit using the 00 because we settled on a hearty crispy crust. Still haven't fired this up to use yet. Trying to figure out how to clean it first and waiting for a 30 amp 120v plug to arrive. I'm going to start with corn first because I love corn muffins and tortillas. My wife wants grits and polenta. I bought dent corn, and hard red and white wheat berries to play with next for sour dough bread. Going to try oatmeal, rice, durum wheat (semolina), and beans eventually. Hoping to start growing my own corn and wheat in the future. Whole wheat berries will last for years, but after grinding are only good for 4 days. That's why commercial flours have so many preservatives and additives. With the Ukraine wheat stores being destroyed I think this may be a good time to prepare for reduced wheat supplies for a couple years. Plus this should be healthier.

Well, I’m intrigued. ?

Nice - the area where my cottage is located (hometown) is one of the best pork producing regions in the country - love me some pork! My uncle was a hog farmer in this area. He would do a spit-roasted whole hog at the family reunion every year - yum!

Those look great and if it’s priced like it is here, it’s a real bargain! Enjoy!

My favorite meat. Got a loin at Costco for $1.79 a pound. I love cube steaks but don't like the price so I decided to slice it up and run it through the cuber I picked up a while ago but hadn't tried yet ( yes with a little A1 they are as good as beef). Fried some up tonight with garden onions and boy were they good and melt in your mouth tender. Tomorrow my wife is going to bread some up for schnitzel. 23 nice steaks from a $17 chunk of meat ain't bad.

Very nice! What a catch.

Great looking trout - even better T-Shirt.

Thanks. It gets rave reviews out in the country, but oddly enough, it was a little "hit & miss" in the city....?

Started grinding some grains and I can easily get to 60 mesh that must be close to 00 flour. Got cut short though with an emergency so will finish up later. The grinder is a beast. Here's a quick look at how it works

Sending positive thoughts to you and your wife Ed. ? I hope she is doing much better now and that it’s under control.

Thanks. She came home last night and is better today. They kept her overnight and did every test in the book. Still couldn't nail it down to anything. The biggest culprit was she had major dental work a couple days before with anesthesia and that could have interacted with her heart. What an amazing group of nurses and doctors in our local ER. Tough getting old.

Thanks. She is home and doing better today. Should be back to normal in a couple days. We have a great local hospital and the Ranger got her there fast.

That's super on all accounts!

I’m glad Ed! Happy to hear it.

@Fordup , sorry that I missed the news about your wife being in the ER, but I'm glad to hear that it all turned out all right.
