Happy Jerky Day!..................
Yummy. Me want many pieces of jerky. Jerky good with beer...or anything else.

Oh..."National JERKY Day"...never mind.
At the moment I have a dehydrator load of dove jerky just finished and ready to store. First time I’d tried making that, not as good as beef or venison jerky IMO, but not bad.
Marinade recipe: Equal parts ketchup, sriracha, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Plenty of black pepper and garlic powder, some allspice and cayenne, a dash of liquid smoke. Marinate the meat for 8-12 hours, stirring from time to time, then into the old Excalibur until dry but not brittle.
Used to make my own- had a pretty good recipe for it. Nowadays though I buy jack links peppered beef jerky- strong pepper flavor and zing, and no garlic which is a must for me. Many brands have garlic- the JL brand with pepper does not.
So addictive- but too much salt- still can’t resist it though.

Jerky is one of the basic food groups.
There’s some staring at me as we type.
