@sgh Scottie the shaving horse is dead...enough already!

You know folks use to say the very same thing about me calling everyone brother, sister and/or my friend. Same as me using Buffalo or Buffaloed. Look now though. Most everyone says those very things now. 
Its my sincere hope that shaving will catch on just as those did. 

You are definitely a legend in your own mind.

Not in the least brother. Just pay attention to the use of nomenclature on the forum now.

Looking at flights for visiting Israel in October.  Itineraries range from 12hrs to 28hrs.  None of them look all that appealing.

Always a challenge with these things to balance convenience against price.  Mostly I'm just looking at flights with only one connection, and not through CDG (which I hate more than ATL).   

Might want to see what the pricing is from major European cities to Israel on a Euro based discount carrier. Often piecing an itinerary together like that can save a lot of money.

Good suggestion.  I’ll take a look.

Ahmm... OK.   I realize all this started as an attempt to troll Ron, and when he didn’t really take the bait, it expanded to the whole forum.  Now I know you’re laid up and bored and stuff and this is just your attempt at humoring yourself, but it’s getting old.  Consider it a victory at this point that folks are finally asking you to throw the towel in and give it a rest.

Brunswick Stew 

One of my personal favorites. Sadly I seldom make it anymore. I need to get back in the game though.  

@SGH - this was a fun cook for me. It was a riff off @War_Eagle_2244's November 2012 post:
https://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1145064/turkey-day-practice-run-pics#latest 

Didn't use liquid smoke and substituted Mc Ilhenny's Chipotle Tobasco and instant pot chicken broth, lots of leftover pulled pork and three chicken breasts.  Would love to see your version.

Brunswick Stew on the large. trying to get done before our daily afternoon storms.

That smells great!

Pulled it just before the storm dumped and already had two large bowls. Agree, it smells and tastes awesome. Thanks for your kind words. Waiting for it to cool down so I can put it in glass containers. Not sure I have enough glass containers.

@JohnInCarolina - gotta be a business write-off in there somewhere.  And I totally agree with avoiding CDG- What a friggin clown show with passport control and security.  Talk about job security...

I have too many crazy stories at CDG to count Frank.  By far my favorite was the time my wife and I waited four hours for our baggage to show up off the plane, because the airport workers were on some kind of "strike" where they did their jobs too well and were checking every single bag coming off every single plane.  I was the ugly American that day my friend, believe me.  All of the curse words.  All of them.

After dealing with clueless tourists from afar last week, I think we may have a bad rap.  Some folks have no concept of personal space. Or sidewalk traffic flow.

Paging @YukonRon.  Perhaps he can provide enlightenment.  Or at least suggest a few good bottles of grape to ease the pain...

I was on a flight, several years ago, leaving from the Northern Kentucky, Cincinnati airport, on Delta.
If you travel frequently on Delta, for international flights, you realize the departure time you had purchased is nothing more than a goal for Delta airlines.
This was about my 50th trip, I was taking, and it was of no surprise to me, the departure time was not met, and in fact, was well over a couple hours late for take off.
But we did take off.
The pilot, did his best to make up as much time as he could, and in the process, was able to get us close to the designated landing time at CDG.
However, about 200 miles out, the pilot announced over the planes intercom, "we have been place in a holding pattern and will be in it for a while, as long as fuel consumption allows.
It turns out, the Delta wing of CDG collapsed, and they were unsure if it was the result of terrorism, so they were backing all planes away from the building, bringing in emergency equipment, and also police and security to search.
Had our plane been on time, we would have been in the terminal when it collapsed.
The only time I have never cursed the company of which I had wel over 6 million miles of delayed or canceled flights, missing luggage or missed connections.
It turned out the terminal collapsed, killing at least 5 people, was due to shoddy construction.
We rolled in after landing and saw the building collapsed on the ground. Emergency vehicles were all over the place, and the French Armywere all over CDG.
It was a mess, never saw my luggage again.

Got the beach chairs and canopy in the car.  Getting prepared for a Friday departure.

Parisians love Americans, we are still the highest paying tourists, however, they do hate Aszholes, and that is not just limited to us.
Take heart, they hate the Germans worse.
If I were to suggest anything for wine, find a Chateneauf Du Pape, from the Rhone, red blend, with a large percentage of Grenache, or find a white Burgundy to start with.
After that look for grenache rosè, burgundy, Bordeaux and last but not least, champagne.
To each their own, but, in my experience, the French have forgotten more about making wine, than we will ever know.
France is a country that has been conquered and occupied more than any other patch of land in Europe, or so it seems, throughout its history. 
I can understand the introverted mind set of the people calling France home, due to that unfortunate history.
Have fun, so much history there, but remember, support from France helped the United States become the greatest country on earth.
Vive la France.

Okay -now I am about to overload my oenophile past (of a few decades) as I have transitioned to the 12 ounce curls and related species.
But one upon a time I was a big fan of Chambertin (exposed in a college wines spirits and beer course as an undergrad -tuition covered).  For the price point it was a great and undiscovered value and a full-bodied red.  
Fortunately for me, I have been sucked so far into the Q diet that I am auto dialed into beer but still enjoy a solid red with a robust beef roast.  

YukonRon

Concur big reds are the real deal, especially with beef. Try it with beef stew....whole new level of yum, right there.

That really hurt coming from you brother D. I thought that we were friends.

In our golden years we planed (dreamed) of no ended travel.  Life as it does has gotten in the way.  Finially we have thrown all of that out of the way and are planning a trip to anywhere!  International is still out of the ball park but there is some much of this country we haven't experienced. We kicked around Nashville, Spoken, among others..what does the Egg braintrust say?
