Birefringence

Birefringence is a natural phenomenon in cured meat.  It's when a rainbow seems to appear on the surface of the meat - it's a bit iridescent.  All it is is light reflecting off of muscle proteins.  It has the same color distribution of a prism.  Don't worry - your meat is perfectly safe to eat!

    It's been a minute, but.....

    Washing your lint filter will keep your dryer working better and lasting longer.

    Try this:  after cleaning the lint trap, take it to the sink and run water over it.  Does it puddle?  That's a film from dryer sheets.  Clean about every 6 months with warm  soapy water and a soft brush to help!
