Replenishing energy after locking horns with this big green sprawling git. Today I won the battle, but I have far from won the war.

Hadn’t done this for a while …no knead , cold fermented in the fringe for a few days , took out last night, quick shape then in the oven

Chasing that little league dream, loving the season’s end is rapidly approaching. It’s been a big commitment this year, can’t wait to do it again in the fall

Love the look of that skin. The carbon steel is also handsome.

Just threw away a whole spatchcocked chicken.  It was raw in the fridge.  I was dying out the skin.  I think 2 weeks.  Didn't want to chance it.

Meat may have been a little wonky, or not, but I’ll bet you could’ve peeled that skin off in one piece and crisped the hell out of it.

After graduating from college, I made a pit stop in Wales, then took a side trip to Oxford.

Was on a tour of the university, and a docent told us this tale, of how an American tourist offered £10 to a groundsman at one of the colleges, to spill the secret of how they got the college lawn to look perfect.  Not a single blade of grass out of place. 

Per legend, the groundsman looked him in the eye, pointed to the big lawn roller laying on the grounds, and said something like :
“ You take one of those… and roll it for 400 years.”

Just cooked a really small (under 3 lb) bird in this new to me clay pot. It was air dried naked (as in no seasoning or salt) in fridge for two days, the skin turned translucent. Started lid on for 75 min in cold oven set to 450, finished with lid off for 5 min to crisp up. The skin was amazingly crispy.

Personal observation here, the farther north you go the less weed pressure you have

This is that 12’ x 29” x 2.75” sinker cypress slab I acquired.  Trying to figure out what to do with it, storing it for now.

In my early Air Force years, I spent about a month in the Chatham-Gillingham area, doing a Maintenance Demo with Marconi Electronics.  I spent a lot of time just walking through the towns, and I admired how perfectly the grass lawns were groomed.  I'm pretty sure a few of the mowers were actually designed as hovercraft (no wheels), but I haven't seen them mentioned since.  
 
Was that the case 35 years ago, or was it too many brain cells ago, or just an extremely vivid dream of mine at one point?

Oregon is flush with weed pressure, can’t get away from it.

I thought you were much younger.  What was Guglielmo Marconi like?

Thanks. The only down side with cooking this way is the soggy back and bottom.

Costco Carries this.  It is a DELICIOUS and easy side if you don't want to buy and chop a bunch of stuff.  The kids can't stop eating it.  I am not a salad guy, but I think I could eat an entire bag in one sitting.

Another vote for the dill crack. Good stuff for sure. 

If I could offer one piece of advice, it would be to space out your consumption. Overeating such things is like listening to a song on repeat - it’s not long before you hate it.

Sounds like you’ve had more than your fair share of experience with tossing salad?
