Sitting outside with good friends around a nice fire.

Deal.

Did not overcook, though both of us like it done throughout. Very moist and tender and excellent flavor. The salad was good but I grilled the fennel in too large of pieces. It needed to cook more thoroughly to sweeten up more. But for a first try, not bad at all. Debbie loved both.

Grilling some salmon on cedar planks. Also grilled some fennel, radichio and Belgian endive for a salad. A little olive oil, balsamic and fresh lemon juice dressing and we should be good to go.

Got word today that a former co-worker and friend passed away after a long battle with cancer. So in general it's been a sad one. She was in her 40's and I found out that her only child, a son, is getting married in two weeks. Life can really be fucking unfair. Sue and I helped each other maintain sanity while working for a power mad boss. I feel bad because we were smoking buddies during that time and I wonder how much that contributed. But I'd never have 16 years in my present job if she hadn't been there to lean on when things were intolerable. So the world is a bit emptier tonight. She'll be missed.

Happy Birthday Birgir!!! I will have a Drunk Monk in your honor today!!

Happy Birthday!!

Bought this weekend:

Congrats everyone. We're home from Tour de Indiana and still have 3 days off. Doing some around the house things to satisfy a post-purchase inspection but nothing very strenuous Mostly a lick of paint etc. Then off to watch fireworks tonight. With much beer and grilled morsels throughout.

Hope you had a most excellent birthday!!!!

I'll have what he's drinking! From our road trip in southern Indiana.

Alright you two.... Don't make me come in there.... Just grilled a couple of New York strip steaks and green pepper, potato, onion and zucchini in balsamic and olive oil. Damned tasty.

Just had some button mushrooms fresh off the grill. More to come.

Used to get Utz pretzel nuggets in a big plastic barrel from Costco but they stopped carrying them. I loved those buggers.

Urghhhhh.

Corned beef sandwich.

Nice find. Glad you found a supply!

Nice.

You should have crafted the bowl out of salt.

Looking forward to trying some salmon steaks on the planks.

Cedar grilling planks from Woot! yesterday.

Got the new iPhone up and running. We also had the painters in the townhouse the last two days. Looking very nice now and feeling like home.

Congratulations Doug. It's a bold move and I'm betting you'll do well. And when BrewDuggeh is up and running I'll be proud to tell my friends, over a friendly pint or six, that I know the bloke who made it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just got the speaker rig back together this weekend. A lot of tweaking to do to the room, and probably a speaker upgrade in my near future, but goddamn, having a dedicated room makes a big difference. Even if it is small. Currently listening to ITCOTCK as it is my favorite album of all time. And it is sounding pretty damned sweet. I am so looking forward to evolving this system...

I have the same tracking info as your friend. Though my credit card has still not been charged. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
