Russian propaganda sure is an "interesting" take on reality. The bully whines about getting their nose bloodied and is surprised nobody has any sympathy for them.

Good topic, good point, terrible writing. I couldn't finish the article with the author's ego and personal bias butting into his great story.

Awesome, good luck!

Hopefully it's thawed already because it will take two days to thaw all the way through in the fridge. 13 pounds is huge in the slow cooker, and should take about 13-14 hours on low or about 11-12 hours on high. Might be better off braising at 275-325 F in the oven, see this recipe for the general gist https://www.theseasonedmom.com/braised-pork-shoulder/. Should only be 4-5 hours this way and remain tender and juicy.

Ours is Rosie too!

The Israeli settlers did this first in the forties when they invaded and colonized Palestine, indiscriminate violence was their M.O., so yes the first stone was thrown two generations ago. Not excusing the violence today, but it is not unexpected nor unprecedented by either side of this conflict.

Not mine but I had a Dutch professor who would say "it's like washing duck's feet" to refer to something that was a pointless exercise or wasted effort. I always thought it was funny but can't find anything on the Internet about it now so perhaps it's not very common.

I don't get it

Oh I see, thanks! I was thinking of my buddy who uses a climate controlled cabinet (kinda homemade) to store food for curing and fermenting.

Is it just like a temp controlled cabinet?

I tend not to collect single purpose devices as they take up too much space in my limited storage, and a warm cabinet made by my oven light is good enough for some homemade sourdough which we make about once a week.
