Ramblings of a Crotchety Old Man

Another true, hair-raising tale of mystery, intrigue, mistaken identity, criminal impersonation and other felonious activities from my misspent youth.

Although beef jerky is probably best known as an American pioneer tradition (think John Wayne westerns or Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett), various cultures around the world have been drying meats as a method of preservation for nearly 500 years.

Snack on your own homemade beef jerky! My healthy killer beef jerky recipe is delicious, easy to make, and guaranteed to win friends! (Well, I won’t make any guarantees about that!)
