    @MasterC -anything with habanero in the mix is a definite winner.  Looks great. 
    Try smoking the cream cheese and then topping with that jelly.  You will add another hors d'oeuvres to your already impressive offerings.

    @Canugghead - If the colour (nod) is any reflection of the flavour (nod again) then you nailed that cook.  Sweet right there.  Way to bring it home.

    I’m definitely not the greatest baker so this will have to suffice. 


    Don’t know what you’re talking about, because it definitely looks like you nailed it. 

    Please wish the birthday gal a happy birthday,  from us in The Swamp.

    Took it off right when the glaze started to blister.  Any longer and the kiddos wouldn’t have eaten any. 😄

    I’m surprised that four were left.

    Leftovers tonight. Cooked the ham bone from yesterday with some dry split peas and at the end of the cook added the leftover farro and asparagus primavera and Moroccan carrot salad (that I needed to chop a bit). Topped with olive oil and sour cream.

    Looks delicious, @BeanHead !  Surprised you didn’t spring for some beans in there.

    @Dyal_SC I lump split peas in with beans if that gives you any comfort… also I had to work today so I needed a quicker cooking legume.

    @BeanHead - talk about rolling in hot.  You consistently crank out awesome groceries across the spectrum.  The above is one more example.
    Given the level of effort from planning, prepping and then producing such gourmet delights, where is this "work" time you mention?   B)

    Well @lousubcap I turned in my retirement papers today!!! Get emotionally ready for me with free time or buy a house nearby to enjoy a few meals and/or leftovers.

    Congratulations @BeanHead. A game changer but all in your approach.  For me and I will offer to anyone, "You know when it's when".  Have been living the "Every day is Saturday" life style since the close of 2015 (old here), the one material thing you need is a watch with the date and day of the week to keep you grounded.   B)
    The most important part of this major life changing event is the way ahead.  I volunteer two days a week at two different organizations and have been since walking out the door.  You will sort that out.
    Your cooking prowess may give you something to further pursue.
    Above all, be happy.

    Thank you! I am already lined up to volunteer at a couple places and have probably too many ideas for how I want to spend my time. I am bailing early, but it feels like the right time to let a younger scientist take my place.

    It's been helpful for me to have a serious long term hobby. But after finally retiring, I picked up two pro-bono jobs. I left one of them after a year and a half and the other after around four years, and while I do miss the second, I don't miss the first. The time lets me stay fit and play more. Enjoy it!

     Renaissance woman right here.  You have acquired many talents and wisely managed your discretionary time.  Go forth and enjoy!

    Congrats!  Hope the bird flu doesn’t muck up your early retirement the way COVID did mine.

    Thanks @lousubcap Pretty exciting to think of all the things I can still learn and do! @Botch sorry that happened to you. I’m trying to ignore looking at the news and my retirement accounts with the plunge in the markets. If what I have saved and done isn’t enough I guess I will start a BGE cleaning business. I love taking the things apart, so gratifying.
