I love OnX. Between it, and the USFS PDF maps (which can be keyed to GPS using other free apps), I've been able to do a bunch of exploring. For example, last December, I drew a tag for the Whetstone mountains in AZ. The primary route

In certain parts of America, we have. Klobasniky (most people just call 'em kolaches) are incredibly popular in Texas, perhaps even more popular than hot dogs. The fun part, is that in theory, the klobasniky came from the Czech via th

We dry-age our own beef at home (usually buying a whole prime ribeye for the purpose). We found that the bulk of the flavor change happens in the fat, and that we have a LOT of fat trim left over after cutting down from the whole to steaks

No worries =) Castelvetrano is one of those interesting olives for me, personally, in that I'm not a big fan since I prefer the richer, earthier flavor of the slow-cured (dry-cured are my favorite!) olives, but my wife loves them most

I realized I left a few questions unanswered here, and for completeness' sake: * Green olives can also be fermented (i.e. w/ yeast and bacteria, instead of using a lye- or pure-water 'cure'), to remove the bitter compoun

"Pickling" may be an incorrect term here. Green olives are unripe olives, black olives are ripe olives. Unripe olives contain very high levels of oleuropein, which is especially bitter and thus green olives cannot readily be eaten

There's nothing wrong with CNC for that type of product, and it is necessary as well. Many of the higher-end products in that market use nearly 100% CNC, whereas lower-end mix casting and CNC. I'm not sure the quoted statement is

I think part of the problem here is failing to use correct terminology. We might say, in GAAP terms: * For 40% of the orders, they achieve a positive gross margin * We anticipate reaching positive gross margin on 100% of orders by the end
