    Amazing compilation of pics. Figs are a favorite and I remember our family home back in SA having a huge tree that we used to gorge ourselves on, always a race between us vs the birds😂

    Been past it hundreds of times, never been inside. Didn’t go in today either. Maybe on the way home.
    we have friends who live in Crestview, Fla and have passed it more than a few times trying to make good time to the panhandle...the sausage was 3.99/lb so the 6 lb box was actually a clip cheaper than what wally world gets for it. 

    We also procured some peach habanero jelly...

    they also have a sausage bar..can't wait for those GIFs coming..

    @Ozzie_Isaac I have a pickled fig recipe that makes amazing garnish and simple syrup for martinis. Let me know if you want the recipe!

    How about a plantain for scale?

    I typed "1.34 bananas = " in Mac Spotlight to see what I got, it only offered grams and calories... :lol:

    Just ordered one of these as a retirement gift to myself. I know I know it’s a pellet pooper. Forgive me though I’m old and lazy now. Surprisingly there is a 3-4 month waiting period on them. 


    If I don’t like it I can always give it to one of my kids or grandkids.

    Sitting in the dark without power. We had a torrential rain storm, traffic was down to 15 mph on I 10. Quite a few traffic lights and apparently power poles are out. The dogs are happy that I made it back. Since my WiFi is out along with the power I had best stop now, almost out of data.

    @SGH you will enjoy the quality and craftsmanship of that rig from LoneStarGrillz.  I landed one of their Santa Maria (with argentine add-ons) grills almost three years ago.  It is a whole new cooking experience for me and a definite hacker. (Even finessed a packer brisket on it dang near out of the gate).  The first indicator is the packaging when it arrives.  Lots of 2 x 4's and plywood protection along with heavy duty shrink wrap.  
    Enjoy the rig-great gift to yourself.
    Now to mount a gimbaled BGE on your boat!

    Thanks for the kind words my friend. As far as Lonestar I’m very familiar with their quality. I have one of their cabinets as well as the El Patron. My El Patron is serial number 9. I thought that was pretty cool.

    Thank you!!  Will make some this evening - some are so ripe they are already soft, so will use they less ripe ones.
