A Jerky Kind of Day

The headlines today  make me a bit nausea's. Like the almost half a million people who have all ready lost their health insurance because of Obamacare, my parents are scared they are about to as well. It is another reminder of how frustrated and angry I get with those who voted for this, now we are seeing the results of their poor choice.

The cool weather continues, boys got to finally wear jeans and light jackets to school.
Yesterday, Senior got in the attic and brought down my box of fall decorations, The boys helped me in cleaning up the house, just so they could partake in the assistance of decorating it for fall. They felt my fake foam pumpkins were soccer balls and began kicking them across the front yard..  BOYS!

This morning I was up earlier then usual and laid out a sliced and marinated London broil on our dehydrator, yes it's jerky making day.
Senior said it smelled like Gyros and the house reminds him of Greece. Well, When I do my marinades it is whatever I have in the cabinets.  This time it included some "Cowboy Rub" brown sugar,  water , Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and a little bit of onion and garlic powders.. 
" Every think but the kitchen sink" meat rubs or marinades are all ways the best

After about 6 hours in the dehydrator it was ready to come off for a taste testing, and I can assure you that it did not taste anything like a Gyro. 
My marinade concoction leaves you with a wonderful after taste and had the kids and Senior begging for more. I can't keep the little and big hands out of the baggies.

It is all packed up now, and ready to go on a weekend camping trip with us. No place too far away..just a yearly get away with one of our best friends and his family.
