Hope you're feeling better by now, G!

And 50th anniversary! WOW! Did you have fun?

Yes was great evening but the drive back was horrendous gales and rain. The worst I have driven in for a. Dry long time!

When we moved back from Germany, we had BBCAmerica…they had a couple of cooking shows on there I’d watch. Now before this, all I cooked was ramen noodles, breakfast foods, and I could grill. That’s it.

Started watching Nigella Lawson’s show and got the interest to start trying a little bit of this and that she showed. SWMBO would come in and say, “oh give me a break…you’re watching HER, not how to cook!” .

I of course protested and then had to put up or stop watching! She liked my cooking and the rest is history!

We all watch HER!

My preference is for an apple crisp.
Chop 'em up, add a can of cranberry sauce and an oatmeal based (with cinnamon) crumble topping and bake!

Mine too

 

[Greylag]

The cartridge. Not the rifle. Who the fuck wants to get all spendie for some British piece o' shite? I could buy a Range Rover, too, if I'd truly lost my mind.

British piece of shite my ass lol…. The best gunmaker in the world. I had a Holland and Holland Royal shotgun the best you could buy!

I had to go back in photos to look for the wolf rivers. It looks like we finally picked them the second week of November the other year. So, probably over a month to go yet. Some sources say mid October, but I think our season starts so much later we have to wait longer. Blossoms can be 3-4 weeks behind just a bit south of here.

So many of the heirloom apple varieties have been forgotten about. All of their quirks and knowledge about them. I don't mind the oddball apples or old varieties. I find food history interesting, and apples are so varied in texture, taste, and season. Learning about and trying them is always fun. We have some that have been on the property for probably 80+ years now. No idea what they are. One is an early yellow apple that forms a very sticky waxy coating after picked. They last forever in a paper bag in the pantry. No one cares about those aspects of apples anymore. I've grafted one from down the road that makes a huge (Again, three apples to a pie), extremely tart soft fleshed apple. Makes amazing pies and sauces, but you need A LOT of sugar to make them edible.

Very interesting!

We have an apple tree that is terribly overgrown. But we get a handful of apples from it.

But I only know a few varieties.

Beautiful....

Boys are looking good!!

It could be worse. I have this particular job site almost exactly where I want it. I’m not working very hard. Mostly, it’s the time I have to put in simply to be here. It is more as though I am here for the institutional knowledge I bring as opposed to the actual work I do.

I like it!

You said you wanted the autonomy to call your own shots. You got it - and look at the results.

 

[Wonderer67]

Oh man, sorry about that. It’s really tough seeing your buddies get older or sick.

Sadly, I hear you well. It’s good of you to stay close to them, I am sure they appreciate you.

Godspeed,

Thanks, brother.

I am norwegian on my moms side ..

It's a traditional colonial take, rendered quite capably.


I know that they make fine stuff. My rifles sign on to get used. KInda hard sometimes.

I know. I got it. I leaned on it and it produced. Here's what's a'gonna happen. They'll send me to start the next job and bring in some of their simpletons to ignore my carefully crafted schedule, dawdle and run it into a ditch, fuck the work up for a fair, piss in the tenants corn flakes, and annoy fuck outta property management.


My boss sent out an email this morning to discuss "hours of opperation." Anyone care to guess my reaction???
