Beef Jerky NewsFor weeks now, I’ve been scheduled to do a stand up gig at The Comedy Store on Sunset. That show, as I’ve know from the first time I was booked, was set for Tuesday, April 6th. And I also know that, more often than not, Monday is the day after Easter. Yet, for some reason, [...]
Over the holiday weekend, many whimsical, idiosyncratic and lascivious ideas came to me while I was considering a topic for today’s post. I spent time dwelling on a few ideas and some were dismissed quickly as too offensive (Even for sweet little Southern me), too stupid or simply too boring. But one idea had me [...]
During a taste test of Up North Jerky Honey Barbeque Flavored Smoked Turkey, I was waiting for a man to assist me with my assessment of the aforementioned flavor of cured meat…and my second journey into the fascinating world of beef jerky taste testing. I needed a man because, sexist or not, men have more [...]
Recently I came across an article from a Housekeeping Monthly magazine dated May 13th, 1955.

Personally, I’m writing a blog for beef jerky. To an ordinary person, that might be a lot of effort for beef jerky although it is certainly worth my time…beef jerky is full of interesting history, fascinating characters and manyrather unexpected appearances in police reports. Yep, there are those who will risk imprisonment and a criminal [...]
I’ve had an interesting day…interestingly castigating, punishing and arduous. I’m not complaining mind you, I’ve been around long enough to have total faith in the cyclical nature of life. If I were to start the whining with my appendix, I could say that “I’ve had a particular grueling March of 2010.” I won’t bore you with my list-O-grievances [...]
I have been given the dauting task of taste-testing and reviewing enough beef jerky to qualify me as a true jerk. Today I finally received my long awaited box-O-jerky and as people did before Snap, Crackle and Pop came along, I had beef jerky for breakfast. The hardest part of my quest du jour was [...]
