Photo to loom: must I get Loomerly/BeadTool or will Stitch Fiddle work?

I want to weave a photo image and I wonder if I could get by with a free tool like Stitch Fiddle or even asking AI to make a pattern, or if I need to buy a quality app. The woven image of a Hepburn is not what I'm working on but I will try a black and white photo so I assumed it was similar enough to use as an example of the kind of woven image I want to create.

Last month I posted about a project and I had lots of questions, so someone suggested I break them up into smaller sections to ask about.

Is this "injected" ground beef?

I never realized that a lot of the meat we buy in grocery stores is actually "injected" meat to plump it up. This is a legitimate culinary technique to add flavor and salt to meat, but it can also be used to dupe customers into paying for water.

I was cooking some medium-lean ground beef and this seems like a soup more than a solid food.

I've never done it but read that it's easy. Just coat eggs in oil and they stay good at room temperature (normal humidity) for at least 6 months. This is an acceptable method for "washed" or cleaned eggs rather than eggs that still have the natural coating on them. People say to use food-grade mineral oil but I don't see why I can't use regular cooking or olive oil. They say the oil might go rancid, but I'm not going to eat the oil, just the eggs.

This is my first post here. I am hoping to start using a good dehydrator I was gifted a couple years ago and build up some foods over the winter. I am not a great cook but I figure a vegetable is better dried than absent if the Iran -US war makes winter produce quite costly. Ultimately, my master goal is to can meat. But right now, I want to take advantage of an egg sale. If anyone has guidance on this, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

I am a bad cook, I know. Ignore that for now and please instead give me your advice about this pork tenderloin.

I had two pork tenderloins I defrosted today. They totalled 1078g. I cut them into 8 large chunks, partly covered them in water, added some chopped vegetables and seasoning, brought them to a boil, reduced the heat and cooked them, covered, for about 50 minutes at a simmer.

Then I tested some of the meat pieces by spooning them out of the pot and onto a flat surface, stabbing them with a digital meat thermometer, and the temperature was consistently in the 80C + range. But when I tested them with my analog meat thermometer, they didn't get above 65C. Even after I put the meat back in the water and simmered another five minutes. However when I put the analog thermometer directly into the pot water, it reached 80 (the water wasn't boiling anymore so I know it couldn't really be 100).

I'm not sure if I should start boiling it even more. It just freaks me out that the meat didn't read hot on the analog, but the water did.

I ask because I see a lot of steaks posted here. But ground beef is what I can afford, along with pork and chicken (I know they are lesser meats filled with PUFAs but that's what my budget allows for). I know ground beef is processed so I think the protein is more accessible/digestible and maybe that's somehow bad. But it's what's in my budget.

I want to drink throat clearing tea but it has licorice, and apparently, that pushes potassium out of the body. I wonder if it could be dangerous. I think it would be fine but I'm cautious, especially since I can't afford to play with my electrolytes.
