One of these things is not like the other.

I tried the reverse sear method even though I don't have an infrared or other serious sear option on the grill. Heated up the cast iron on the side burner for sear duty. Also cooked corn and asparagus on the grill simultaneously. Mostly good results but the Warriors elimination final and the Stanley Cup final opener and a Giants game thrown in were distracting, and I let the NY Strip go a little long but I really like the texture and will try this again.

Aren't you supposed to melt the cheese?

Thanks Steve. I hope you are back on the porch before too long.

Congrat to Dan and the Caps!

Happy birthday Biscuit Boy! Cheers!

Have a good one buddy. Cheers!

Definitely go with something like the one on the left--huge difference in the final appearance.

Happy birthday Rob! Cheers

They’re laughing at us because he’s still in office regardless of all the bullshit they cop to in the video. Fuck all of them.

RIP Uncle Bob

Belated happy birthday Chris! Cheers!

Manuel is indeed his name! I was certain of that but he didn't correct the earlier posts so I went with it. See what happens when you don't stay in touch?

Mother's Day breakfast prepared by Alden and me. Challah French toast and summer fruits, with sausages and bacon. Took a hike around Lake Lagunitas to work some of it off.

Happy birthday Justin. Hope it's been a great one! Cheers!

Good to hear from you Manuel! Belated birthday greetings! Cheers!

Happy day near your actual birthday Ari (assuming that it is near your actual birthday)! Cheers!

Finished the porch and it simply looks like it did before, just better built, clean, well painted, waterproof, solid and safe.

I did get healthy whiff of Coalinga and decided to press on rather than stop in its midst.

Half way to LA. SDSU pickup tomorrow

I wasn't very focused on the Sharks this year but it's still a bummer they're out. Oh well, maybe next year. Again.

We saw Ry Cooder and Rosanne Cash play Johnny Cash songs at SFJAZZ tonight and I am a better person for it. We also met Rosanne in the green room, but not Ry, sadly. Here is Claire, her sister and sister's girlfriend with American Country Royalty.

That's quite a slogan...

A stupid one?

I didn't think the Sharks had a chance after the first game and the quick 2-0 lead in game two. Should be entertaining and they clearly want to scrap at any opportunity.
