*pats large jar of Kitchen Pepper* I used it as my spice blend for brining pork belly before smoking to make bacon - it made a richly savory bacon. The longer you simmer pork belly, the more of the fat renders out, and the skin gels - a Japanese dish “Buta no Kakuni” is a slow simmered pork belly - the longer you simmer it the better it gets!

We would shake the cream in a large glass jar until the cream turned into milk. My mom would make home made bread. What an incredible taste to have fresh butter on home made bread.

In the town I grew up in before I moved to the south, I had been exploring some old abandoned silos that were a popular hang out for teens that smoked by some train tracks and my friends and I found that the silos still had signs and some old nasty mummified grain. The silos contained barley, peas, corn and I don’t remember the fourth one. I think rice? I thought it was incredibly fascinating to find some beautiful giant abandoned history.

@@michaelcannistraci95 oh yes, it's thematically very appropriate, unfortunately during these extended length episodes (which are great to show the timing of various steps/process), the music becomes entirely grating and detrimental to overall enjoyment and comprehension of the video. I could understand high points having the music but over the course of the entire video, it's far too loud ultimately for a backing track. I had thought before, perhaps the musical compositions just lack sufficient depth/musical range, and become tiring in their repetitive simplicity. I'm not sure if this is stock music or something they've developed in house. I think they would benefit from getting some custom music written and performed for the channel. This existing music is frankly, trite. Maybe it's historically correct music and I'm just failing to appreciate that; they do take great care in most other aspects of the production. (I should note, it's not a question of music taste or style as such, more about the balance of things in a production, and the emotional depth and narrative-assistive function of the backing music; how it helps set the scene and tell the story, or starts to cheapen the feel of things through a bombastic presence.) I'll certainly keep watching to see how they evolve their production methods, as things only ever seem to be improving in this warm corner of KZfaq.
