    I reverted back to my old chipmunk trap. To set it is a little annoying. But the new easy set trap is not sensitive enough. I had to shim and balance the door to make it chipmunk weight.

    I purchased a meat tenderizer because grocery stores in this area will often have boneless top round London broil on sale. This is a tough cut of meat generally suitable for stew, pot roast, or to be ground into chop meat.
    Last week while grocery shopping it was on sale for $1.99 a pound with a coupon, there was nothing in the Showcase, while waiting with another gentleman for the butcher to bring some out he told me to try tenderizen it, and eating it as a steak. He said he used a spring loaded tenderizer he purchased from Bed Bath & Beyond.
    We cooked that London broil that evening and use a fork to tenderize it, it came out like butter.I told him I did have a tenderize it look like a hammer, he said no you need the one with the thin tines, so we used the fork.
    I ordered the only spring loaded tenderizer I found online from Bed Bath & Beyond, while I was at it I also ordered a instant read meat thermometer.

    Just as an FYI,I stopped using those things. I buy top round or chuck, season it up and throw it in the Instant Pot witth oniions and some beef stock. Let cook for an hour and you have meat you can cut with your fork. Or, throw in some peas, beans, ketchup and more beef broth and you have great vegetable beef soup in a about an hour.

    I can see how that can happen. I once while at work Staples my thumb with a shipping stapler had to be taken to the hospital. Embarrassing YEA.

    I got bulk meat tenderizer on amazon and use it on all my beef. You just sprinkle it on and leave it sit in the fridge for a few hours. Mostly is is just salt and papaya or bromelain. can't remember which.

    My son recommended that I try a chinese herb tea that supposedly helps with inflammation, so yesterday I ordered Gynostemma (Jiaogulan) tea and an OXO infuser from Amazon. The order showed up about 8 a.m. this morning so I'm sipping tea with a teaspoon of honey. Not bad.

    If you are a tea drinker and use loose tea leaves, I highly recommend this OXO infuser. It has a twist mechanism in the handle that opens the "ball" and allows it to be filled or emptied easily. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B008H2JMFW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
