Edit: If you don't want to do rewiring of your fridge's power cord, then you can get things like these: http://www.conrad.com/ce/en/product/615910/UT-200-Room-Thermostat

What it does is switch off your fridge when it reaches a low enough temperature, and switches it back on when it's too warm. You can set it to switch the fridge off at 40 fahrenheit, and tell it to wait until 42 degrees before switching back on. I don't know how low the hysteresis(the narrowest degree gap) is on these things but it would be advisable to have a 2 degree gap to avoid the fridge switching on and off too often as this will destroy the compressor on the fridge. Use a fridge you don't mind getting broken too, as it wears out alot faster.

I have a couple of these : http://www.etcsupply.com/ranco-etc111000000-digital-temperature-controller-p-86.html - they're industrial grade controllers and work awesome. I wired them up myself, but they also come prewired if you don't know anything about electronics. have one on a chest freezer for a kegerator, and one on a mini fridge for a fermentation chamber. had both fridges about 3 years, haven't blown out yet - I set mine on a 4 degree temperature differential.

Also, it cannot be overstated, but removing skin from a pork belly is so damned tedious, ugh.

Solution: cure the pork belly with salt, sugar, brown sugar, and prague powder #1 for about 10 days. Then hot-smoke with hickory to 150F. The skin will slide off with the mere suggestion of a fillet knife.

I hot smoke to 140 internal and the skin generally peels off like velcro. You might need to score it around the edges since the smoking can dry it out a little bit, but after that just grab a corner and pull.

I've only had the Serbian version thanks to a literal hookup but this stuff is the vegetable mish-mash of the gods as far as I'm concerned. It makes everything taste so much more alive that I'm pissed I only discovered it now.

wikipedia posted:

Ajvar and aijvar (Cyrillic: ajвар/aивар; pronounced [ǎj.ʋaːr]) is a type of relish, made principally from red bell peppers, with garlic. It also can contain eggplant and chili peppers. Ajvar originates in the Serbian cuisine, and was therefore long known as "Serbian salad" [1] or "Serbian vegetable caviar".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajvar

Apparently making it is a bit of a hassle but gently caress that I'm gonna try anyways since I only have a 4oz jar (aka a months worth. maybe two weeks).

It's also great on scrambled eggs/hash to combat a hangover.

all the ajvar I've had is like a thick tomato paste/sauce thing with red peppers and onions and eggplant all pureed up and simmered or something. my bulgarian flatmate of ages past had a jar of it always and slathered it on hot bread and ate with salty cheese. it was amazing, his grandmother made it I think. I got drunk and stole like 1/4th of a jar of it from our fridge once and he was really loving pissed. but I gave him some pickled okra I made in return and he was ok with that. good times.

Going to catch hell for this I am sure but I don't really like avocado. It has it's place in things but I am never really excited by it and would never really just eat one. Guacamole can be great but a bowl of mashed avocado is not very interesting.

You have to be careful with that salsa, though, since it's too spicy for a lot of people, don't you know. Better to stick with ketchup.
