Following reading The Fat Of The Land/Not By Bread Alone I have been planning on making pemmican
So finally I made a small (300 gram) batch and ate half of it today
And it was excellent.
The book says that of the three types of fat on a ruminant they ranked as:
First: tallow from marrow (the fatty stuff inside bones)
Second: tallow from suet (the fat from around the animal's organs)
Last: tallow from muscle and skin fat
I am glad I waited until I had suet before I tried as the first tallow I made was from trimmings and it didn't taste good. I'm leaving the fat on my steak since it tastes much better there than rendered to tallow
Recipe etc
So I made tallow out of 5kg of suet, that made about 3kg, I cut it into 100g-ish cubes and stored it. Tallow is shelf stable for years.
I cut a Scotch fillet (rib eye?) steak into thin slices and separated the fat (which I'll cook with my next steak) and dehydrated it to very dry in a dehydrator set to 35°C
That came to 150g of dry meat
I blended the dry meat very fine in a food processor and put the result in a mixing bowl
I melted 150g tallow in a double boiler, then took it off the heat until it dropped to under 45°C then added it to the meat powder
I mixed by hand - next time I think I'll use a wooden spoon - until it was well combined and the meat was saturated in tallow, they spread it out in a shallow rectangular dish like one would making brownies. I made this less than 1cm deep
I left it on the bench to set for a few hours, and cut it into four 80g (73 to 82g) pieces and just finished two of those pieces
This is going to be my food when working from the office (where it's hard to get a meat lunch, and I start too early to eat a morning meal before work)
TODO:
Cardboard box dehydrator to let me dry larger batches. My dehydrator can only handle up to about twice what I did. I want to make kilos at a time
Other thoughts
I wonder if the people who make this and don't like it used the worse fats
I wonder what pemmican made with marrow tallow tastes like
I think I'll add salt to it next time
The Salisbury book is a difficult read
Edit: I just ate a third of the four slices I made and have hit my fat intake limit. I couldn't eat more. I wonder how much I would have wanted if I had ridden two hours today as I do on days I cycle to work
T-shape is supposed to indicate expertise in one thing (the post of the T) and capability in everything else (the crossbar)
It's popular in software build, where everyone will be specialised in analysis/design or build or test, but everyone can do simple tasks in any of those.
It ignores the fact that some people find some parts of a group's work repulsive while others find those the best thing.
It ignores that what makes a person good at one thing makes them bad at another
Humans do well with specialisation. A jack of all trades is master of none.
You need specialisation to build expertise in parts of complex systems

A week off Lemmy? Probably not
This is hitting people with early 90s nostalgia, if that's before you cared about cars this isn't going to strike you like it does for someone who got their licence to drive in the 90s
To your edit - does Google know your Lemmy account? I have kept mine out of Google's sight, never logging in on Chrome; not using Gmail in my accounts, or did you do a search that have them the hint?

I don't think Mr Musk understands how expensive it would have been to pay that many people, especially at actor rates
I don't like how ban-happy they got over Luigi
Also they seem too big, to have too heavy control by its admins
I think NSFW is also going to have more people creating a local login rather than browsing with their main, boosting it somewhat
For those who want to know which story, the short version is family house in a flood, family make it to the roof. Boat comes, another, another they send them away "God will save me" a helicopter comes, is told to go. The family die. God tells them they fucked up 'cause He sent three boats and a helicopter which they refused
I hate antivaxxers. As a kid I couldn't get my first dose of measles vaccine because I was sick, and wasn't vaccinated until my 5 year old vaccinations. I was sick with measles, but was okay.
I got measles because vaccination wasn't widespread then and there. The same happened to other kids and they weren't as lucky.
This kid was betrayed by their community, denied vaccines that would have kept them alive because people lied to them
