Crazy Uncle Jerky

We’ve all got a crazy uncle! Growing up in my house, it was Uncle Tom. He would do things like – how about the time my siblings and I opened a package from him and a snake shot out like a rocket, errrrr more like those peanut-can snakes. Or the time my brother got a grenade that shocks you when you pick it up. That’s right! He sent a replica grenade that electrocutes you when you touch it and you drop it at your feet, now adding terror to the shock. Brilliant! Plenty of stories like those in the fam, but that’s a little taste of the kind of humor Uncle Tom was into.

Crazy antics aside, Tom was an awesome dude. One thing he would do was early December every year we would receive huge bags of the tastiest homemade beef jerky we’d ever gotten our hands on. There would always be a few different flavors: a mild, a sweet and spicy, and, of course, an unnecessarily hot one. I specifically remember one labeled “El Diablo”. Intentional consumption required milk and a sibling witness/peer-pressurer. Although jerky time was serious business in our household, Uncle Tom being Uncle Tom, there was always a gag in there somewhere. Yes, of course. The ol’ accidental mislabeling of the bags, or my personal favorite, correctly labeled mild bags spiked with a handful of lava-hot jerky pieces. Ahh, the memories. Thank you Tom!

Sadly, Uncle Tom passed away in early 2019. We all joined together and laid him to rest and reminisced about the impact he had on our lives. Eventually, we came to terms with our new reality. Uncle Tom wouldn’t be there. No more deeply intellectual, yet equally humorous conversations. No more unexpectedly kind-hearted, comforting, booming, deep voice. No more signature Uncle Tom mustache. No more outrageous gag gifts. No more being terrified of packages. And no more beef jerky.

A few years before Uncle Tom’s passing, my brother taught me how to smoke meats – brisket, pork shoulder, ribs, etc. It didn’t take long for me to accumulate five smokers and set out on a new journey seeking to perfect smoked meats with dreams of opening a bothers BBQ joint of my own one day. But, when Uncle Tom passed, that journey took a turn. I set out to pick up where he left off: creating unbelievably good tasting jerky that you just couldn’t buy…yet. After countless hours of research, several iterations of new equipment, tasting every jerky brand I could get my hands on, constant experimentation and testing of my own recipes, and a lot more, here I am. I’ve modeled my jerky recipes after Uncle Tom’s style – impeccably textured. Not too thick. Not too thin. Not too soft. Not too chewy. Absolutely BURSTING with flavor. And most importantly, made with loving care for those with courage enough to open the package in which it came.

Open it. I dare you!

Helen Woodward Animal Center Pet Of The Week

Hashbrown’s Ready for the Next Chapter

As origin stories go, Hashbrown’s first chapter in life was anything but pleasant. The two-year-old terrier blend was found wandering the streets of Wailuku, the county seat of Maui, disoriented and completely alone. Upon his arrival at Maui Humane, it was discovered that this sweet wayward boy didn’t have a microchip or even the ability to see! The organization, already at critical capacity, realized that they would struggle to properly care for the unsighted new arrival and reached out to Helen Woodward Animal Center.

The Center accepted Hashbrown without hesitation, and since his Southern California debut he has shown himself to be a tender and loving little pup. He gets along wonderfully with his foster family – including their two resident dogs – and everyone at the Center has fallen in love with his quirky, treat loving self. If you want to help this brave, blind boy write the next chapter in his life, apply to adopt him today!

Due to Hashbrown’s condition, he’s currently staying in foster care. Anyone interested in meeting him is encouraged to apply at this link. His adoption fee is $385 plus a $36 microchip fee. He has been altered and is up-to-date on all of his vaccinations. Hashbrown is microchipped for identification as with all pets adopted from Helen Woodward Animal Center.

Helen Woodward Animal Center is located at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe. Kennels are open seven days a week; Monday through Thursday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information call 858-756-4117, extension #1, or visit animalcenter.org.

Ancestral Fuel Bone Broth

It all starts with a proprietary mix of 100% grass-fed beef bones or 100% free range chicken bones combined with the finest whole food ingredients, slow cooked and infused to perfection.

A great source of antioxidants, micronutrients, and high-quality proteins including collagen and gelatin, Ancestral Fuel Bone Broth is a nutritional powerhouse with an out-of-this-world taste.

Ignite the power of gut-to-bloodstream health and supercharge your daily nutrition. Crafted for life!

When our family needed to heal after the pandemic, I turned to nutrition as our path forward. My new mantra, healing from the inside out, fueled my purpose and passion starting with a gut-to-bloodstream approach. After connecting with a holistic health, nutrition and fitness expert, I began experimenting with and handcrafting the cleanest bone broth possible. I worked tirelessly every night for two years formulating the perfect recipe, thus forming the foundation for our healing evolution.

Ancestral Fuel Bone Broth is born from this story, and it is a rich, full-flavored, nutritional powerhouse crafted using the cleanest, finest whole food ingredients. Our broths go through a 5-phase cooking process including a 48-hour slow cook infusion phase maximizing the extraction of key nutrients and flavors. Our foundational ingredients include 100% all natural, organic, and whole food grass-fed beef bones from US Wellness Meats (Canton, MO) and 100% all natural, organic, and whole food free range chicken bones from Mary’s Chickens (Sanger, CA) and US Wellness Meats (Canton, MO).

We believe the vast majority of food in America today is overly processed and nutritionally void. Our mission is to help people improve their health, from the inside out through nutrition, while offering great tasting, minimally processed food options.

Simply put, Ancestral Fuel Bone Broth delivers the best tasting and nutritionally rich broths available today and should be part of a daily routine for optimal health.

Helen Woodward Animal Center Pet Of The Week

Coral Will Protect Your Heart

Your future best friend awaits at Helen Woodward Animal Center. Coral is a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd blend with a heart of gold and she’s looking for the right person to share it with. This gorgeous girl is quick to make friends and will do everything in her power to make sure her friends are happy. Coral is happiest when she’s making her pals smile. It doesn’t matter if she has to chase a toy around the yard or stay faithfully by their side on walks, this Aussie aims to bring joy. She also can get along great with other dogs, but we recommend introducing them at the Center first before making the plunge to take her home. Coral has a ton of love to give, but it can be a little overbearing to those without experience, so we recommend she goes to a forever family without kids and who have the patience to make her feel comfortable. Once you give this sweet girl the time she needs to get adjusted, you won’t have a better friend in your life.

Coral is waiting to meet you at Helen Woodward Animal Center. Her adoption fee is $320 plus a $36 microchip fee. She has been altered and is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations. Coral is microchipped for identification as with all pets adopted from Helen Woodward Animal Center.
