Have you gained 20# in the past couple of days? Cause I’m pretty sure I’ve gained 10 just by looking at your pictures.

I'm pretty excited even today after hitting 10k subscribers on YouTube.  Not even my 4 yr old puking all over the place at 2am crimped my style!  

Congratulations brother Tar. I was away so long that I didn’t know you had a channel until I saw this. Going to check it out tonight. 
I hope the next time you post an update it says 10 million. Again, congratulations.

Breaking the griddle out.  Pork belly lettuce wraps coming up in a little bit.

And here we are, pork belly marinated in oil, rice vinegar, tamari, ginger, garlic, hoisin, and lots of gochujang.  Served in a lettuce wrap with a Napa cabbage slaw, sweet onion kimchi, and quick pickled bell peppers.  Dinner did not suck.

@Acn  That looks delicious.  Nice original cook.

Is anyone else a fan of "Below Deck Mediterranean"?

@thetrim I have watched more than just a few episodes for no other reason that I love boats and I do not have to think at all when watching it. 
You into it?

Testing pizza setup on the large; plate setter - two firebricks - grate - newly seasoned baking pan and Rockwood. Pie was store bought and came off the CI cleanly. Toppings were perfect and SWMBO liked the crust. Going to try making her favorite this weekend - Alfredo sauce, sliced Italian sausage, fresh mozzarella slices, and cheddar.

Not right now, but today - we visited the Flume:

Work. Seems like all I've been doing lately.

Who says IT is a cush job?

IT is not a cush job. It is an unending demand to continuously deliver results with minimal appreciation for the magic that is delivered.

Watching the Punisher on Netflix after a 12.5 hour shift

My Dad called me last night and asked if I could cook for his neighborhood in less than 48 hours. I said no problem. An hour later he's picking me up at my house and we're headed to Sam's Club. We ended up grabbing some ribs and some coleslaw. I just finished up prepping the ribs.

The offset smoker has been up at my parents house since we just finished turning the warming box on it into a vertical smoker. So it should be pretty simple to feed some peeps in their cul-de-sac tomorrow.

@bucky925 :

See if you can find Buena Vista Cabernet, from the Caneros region of Napa, to go with the prime rib dinner.

Appies; something a bit lighter, like a burgundy (Pinot Noir), try to find one called Cherrie Pie, it would be great with what you are serving.
Have fun. 

I have been doing stuffed mushrooms, for the last few dinner parties we have done. I never make enough. Made 24, last night, all were gone within moments.

Unwinding from a long day...Ive been up approx 32 hrs straight. I had to work last night and when I got off I took my girlfriend out to our favorite breakfast spot.  She had a job interview today; she thinks it went well. I hope it did for a number of reasons, one of which she gets to move closer to me and the second she's just really not happy where she's at now.


On the way home found out there is another "egghead" in my area

And last but not least this evening getting my new addition settled. He was abandoned at the clinic for a bad laceration the  owners didn't want to fix. While under anesthesia we figured out he had a bad heart too. Bosses said could only be adopted to an employee or he had to be euthanized. Secretary adopted him and 24 hrs later returned him...apparently he demolished her house....so I took him to let him chase squirrels and other furry critters for as long as he can.  He's been good about taking his heart meds in cheese

Damn, that is poetry @DMW  did you come up with that? So true....

Final day of the in-laws being in town. They will be heading to their home in NOLA tomorrow before sun up.
Had some amazing cooks the last few days, leaving nothing but empty platters and emptied wine bottles.
Glad they are back from Ghana, they will be home for a few months, prior to their next post, in Rome.
Yeah, we are going.

SWMBO laughed when I told her I claimed it because I am also bald...lol

Yeah I like it.  I like the Caribbean series better, because I've been to some of the same islands they visit on there. I also spend a lot time in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, so I get to see some big yachts when not working.  
The normal reality show messes are consistent thru both series.  I totally agree with the brainless aspect of the entertainment.  I don't watch it every week, but I get caught up when I have a few hours here and there by watching on the Bravo app.

Back to work right now after a great weekend on the water, stopping at one of our favorite back channel pools for lunch on the river near the mountains. Beef tenderloin steaks and corn.
