    Top is schweinshaxe (pork knuckle) with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut.  Bottom is beef broth soup.  

    The schweinshaxe was incredible.  Super tender on the inside (like pulled pork), with a crispy skin surrounding it.  I’ve never seen this in the US.

    I am guessing lamb shank.  Looks too small for beef shin. 

    Or could have read John’s answer.  The colour fooled me.

    So was the PPV game add free? Or did you  have to chip in on gas for the team bus too.

    I didn’t want to buy Peacock but I did. I could be a man of principle and all of that but I figure it’s nothing compared to price I pay for Sunday Ticket.  

    I’ve spent a lot more for a lot less.

    @WeberWho how do you guys know when it’s safe to get on the lakes to fish and how do
    you know when it’s safe to drive a vehicle out there? I’d be nervous as hell being some of the first ones out.

    Had pork knuckle in Prague many years back and loved it. Looks like you’re having a great time, JIC. Keep the photos coming.

    That looks like a lot of fun and I bet the added suspense of the ice shifting and making noises adds to the experience. I hope to have the opportunity to try this some day.

    I put on the foam water tap covers yesterday. The quickest chore I’ve ever done.

    @JohnInCarolina  You're such a big draw that the streets are empty!  Well done.

    A few pics from Aachen.  Giving a talk this afternoon at RWTH (Germany’s largest technical university).


    I often wonder if we have the capability to build structures like that today.  Same
    Idea as landing on the moon.  We could do it, but now we have lost the ability.

    @Ozzie_Isaac I think that we still have the capability to do it. It is being done now as France rebuilds Notre Dame and Spain completes Sagrada Familia. For the most part, no one wants to stomach the cost of building anything ornate or of higher quality these days unless there is a direct ROI. We build stuff as cheaply as possible these days (especially in the USA).

    I've been following the reconstruction of the Notre Dame whenever I see a story, and I'd say, "Yes, we can!"  They have been able to find artisans in many mediums, and they're making it happen.  
    Corporate bottom lines too often interfere if building "for the millenia", but it can be done.  
     
    It also made me smile to see the cobblestone streets; they're all over in the old sections of European cities, and even a couple of them in my hometown of Sioux Falls.  They're not super-smooth to drive on high-speed (autobahns need not apply) but for downtowns and footpaths, they're great and seem to last forever.

    Sorry to read that @fishlessman.  Mother Nature is rolling in hard this winter.  The uncertainty has got to be challenging.  As you well know, water damage is about the most destructive.  Da-n. 
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    been real lucky in the past. hopefully the basements not filled to the top with sand........the porch makes for a good breaker zone. from what i have heard so far,a row of houses about 20 properties north took the brunt of it and the other side of the breaker walls at camp ellis. all seacoast roads from maine, thru nh into mass were shut down on my ride in this morning. high tide mark is maybe 200 yards closer than were it was in 1950 when the family bought this place. house has been moved back once, betting they wont let us move it back again away from the water.

    I’ve seen what most of you people spend money on in the Buying thread. I don’t think $5 a month subscription that is also equipped with a month long free trial that can be canceled will kill that wallet to watch a football game. 

    True- but it's the principal of the NFL and NBC play that pi$$es me off. 
    I expect this move to be the norm going forward-Follow the $$. 

    i tried to explain that tv used to be free and that the interest on the visa card for a new set was a writeoff on your taxes....... =)

    Well we just had a person fall out with no pulse at the Chinese restaurant. Fortunately a woman from the hospital was there. She brought him around with just chest compressions. I was about to jump in with the breathing but I have either a cold or something similar. 
    Last week someone in the same section needed the Heimlick maneuver. I told the waitress next time I need to be in another section, bad things come in threes.

    Oh geez!  Glad they brought him back around. Last I heard recommendation was only chest compressions.  Are we back to both compressions and breath?

    she asked if someone could do do the breathing. I used to be certified but I have something respiratory going on right now. Fortunately 5 seconds later he came back.
