When it's in the single digits outside you bring the party in the garage. The feet around the propane fire keep disappearing. It's not the heat.

Guilty too here as charged.

@Botch I grew up with a darkroom.  My dad had one.  Did all black and white.  My dad mostly shot slides.  My first job was at 15 where I worked for a JAG office in Heidelburg on base.  I bought the just-released Canon A1 with my whole summer's earnings.  This was back in '79.  I have about 100 pounds of negatives/prints in a box I need to digitize. Or maybe not.

That sounds like a recipe for one fine evening brother Husker!

@NPHuskerFL - those are some great looking ribs.  Way to get after it.  Happy New Year-

If you like cast iron, you will absolutely LOVE the enamel coated version. There's something to be said for the heritage pieces of old cast iron for sure, but the convenience of the coated stuff is awesome. Nice pot, sir!

I went through my slide collection and digitized "the best" (see my link on the previous page) with the intention to digitize more, but never got around to it.  Now Mac OS X has changed enough that Nikon is no longer updating the driver for their "Coolscan V" slide scanner, so I was stuck for awhile.
I've upgraded to a new iMac this past summer, will probably erase the OS in my old, '07-era iMac and load an earlier version so I can use that machine for additional slide scanning.  Or maybe not.    Would rather be out shooting some more.

Those look delicious; what kind of sauce do you use on them?  

DMW

Pork loin roast on a rack over kielbasa & sauerkraut are in the oven along with pecan crusted raspberry jam topped brie. I really wanted to egg everything, but my wife insisted no smoke. And it's kind of cold outside...

DMW

Brie is done, letting set up now.


Oven is doing its thing. Bread is only warming.

Thanks, @Botch- Those were marinated (roughly 2 hours) in Lawry's "Sweet Asian BBQ" marinade and later bag-basted in Captain Curt's Hot BBQ Sauce.

We immediately regretted not doing more, but let the ribs take up the slack.

Mmm. Kielbasa and kraut. Not to mention the rest. But, mmm kielbasa and kraut. Nice!

Went out for Mexican tonight. I've never seen the place so dead especially on a Friday night. I hope Mexican food doesn't mean no money and no luck.

There is only marginally good Mexican in east Cobb.  Try Casadores by the Ace you use.  Pretty good brother!

Real pleased with these being my first cook of 2016. @HuskerMaMa Made the Black-Eyed Pea Dip which was freaking killer!  Recipe by http://www.skinnytaste.com/?m=1

Looking good @NPHuskerFL !

No joke, peeps are one of my very favorites.

For you peeps connoisseurs, I have a friend that dry-ages them for at least 1-2 months before knawing.  Slices open the plastic and lets them mature.  To each his own

Yes, stale peeps are much better than fresh, no question about it.

I could not agree more to that statement!

My Dad used to buy the choc-covered marshmallow bunnies on sale after Easter, and then hide them for a year; same kinda thing.

The above goes without saying brother D. I can make a absolute a$$ out of myself on peeps. Hey if you really like them, my wife has a homemade version that I think is better than the store bought ones (if that's possible). I will get her to post it if you would like to try it.
