  pr0wlunwoof I’m sure you could substitute just about any sweet onion in similar quantity. Spiceology is a company out of Spokane, Wa. that sells individual and blended spices.

  S

  You should try making this as a fermented mustard or making vinegar from the whiskey for a special mustard.

  Joe1 I would imagine any non-edible casing would work just fine. Just soak them prior to use as you normally would. Any thought Jonathon ?

  Way to go, Joe Hell! I whipped myself into shape a while back after realizing I could still live well without digging myself an early grave. It does take work, and I still make my doctor roll his eyes a bit when I tell him about my diet and drinking, but things sure are a lot better. Cheers!

  Jonathon that is the way the Agave works, no impact on glycemic index. With the changes in the gut, I have lost certain base proteins and chemicals that process foods. Pro-biotics are a daily friend along with supplements that remove excess sugar from my system I take just before my meals. It is really weird, because you crave the sugar, you eat the source, and if you over do it you feel sick. Sugar in cured products don’t seem to react the same, since there is a reaction when heated with other products, such as salts. I use brown sugar and maple sugars, more than white when I cure my meats. I will have to try vegetable glycerin. Looks to be made from palm, coconut or soy. Thanks.

  twilliams Ahh I thought you were keto for some reason! Well, either way man that’s awesome progress! 18 lb in a month is a lot. I’d always recommend adding exercise to any diet as it is fun and helps burn calories! I work 2 miles from where I live so for about a year (even in the freezing cold and 100°+ days) I rode my bike to work. The engine to my wife’s car blew and we had just bought a house and didn’t want to have another payment. Anyway, long story short (too late) that was probably the best shape I’ve been in since college and that was 4 miles a day!

  twilliams Keto is great for weight loss, it just takes a lot of dedication. The biggest issue for me was that you can’t eat too much protein when going keto. Iif you do then your body betrays you and converts it to carbohydrates (sneaky body) and that meant a huge change in my eating habits. It helped me drop about 20 lb and I have kept about 15 of that off after about a year, so it absolutely can work, good luck!

  Jonathon That’s a Damascus chef knife I picked up locally. It wasn’t inexpensive ($100) but it seems to be a quality knife at a fraction of what I’ve seen others go for.

  Tex_77 I don’t know why you couldn’t do that? Try starting with 10 grams of salt to every 500 grams unseasoned pork and add salsa to taste!

  raider2119 It does sound excellent! I was gonna complain about the lack of pics but I have been SOOO bad about taking pics when things are getting ready for the grill but then totally spacing and just eating it after that I am not in a position to say anything! I used the Salt & Vinegar Wing Shake on Ahi Tuna few nights ago and WOOO it was awesome!

  Joe Hell Jonathon I feel like I might ban Jonathon before I banned Joe Hell ! Hahahaha! Joe Hell if you ever do consider moving to Kansas, make sure you hit me up first. I can probably find a way to convince you to be around the action here in the greatest city in the country, Wichita, and also Walton’s!
