Fading Fast, when you stop by on your California tour, after you're fed we can go wine tasting. There are about 100 local wineries around here. This was a winetasting trip.
Wow, Lark, the village sounds great - but sorry to heard about the loss of the old homestead.
I just found this photo of the touring, the late Thomas Elliott driving some of our neighbors.
Ha! Thanks, Fading.
That train was my grandfather's, given to him on his 5th birthday in 1922.
I have no idea why all the wine bottles are sitting around, the side server cabinet is nearly empty.
One thing about the house, it absolutely is NOT a museum. Everything has to function (or have the...
I had no idea when I bought it this stupid stove would bring me so much happy fascination. I tried different books and You Tube channels for useful hints and most of them were of dubious value. They seem to make it all way too complicated and it's not, really. By the time the stove was made...
Pork chop night had a change, instead of broccoli, it had carrots cooked with butter, garlic and honey. Also blueberry-lemon tart and brownies that, I hasten to add, I did NOT make! But they were delicious.
So it's Sunday, the next morning after another massive, heavy dinner. Only modesty prevents my posting in all caps how good it was, but in lower case it was awesome. Pics tomorrow for anyone bored enough to see them.
Hi, 59Lark -
I have two Studies, both are 1915 Series 16, 354 cubic inch 6 cylinder cars, a 7 passenger touring and a roadster. I'm not sure I can get pics loaded from my phone, but I will put some up from my computer tomorrow.
Today, Saturday, is baked pork chops, garlic mashed potatoes, biscuits, broccoli from the garden and salad from the garden.
Life is good. It doesn't feel complete, but it' good
Thanks, you guys. This Saturday (tomorrow) will be baked pork chops, biscuits, green beans (maybe with bacon, maybe not). Something else. I don't know. Maybe a pie. Apples are still really good right now.
Tell me about that car, David.
So...
Since I've become a widower I have been cooking as therapy. I can't eat that much, so I've been cooking for the neighborhood. Most Saturday nights I have busied myself with giant pots of spaghetti, boneless country ribs from Costco, fried chicken, tri tip roasts, mashed or fried...
My sincere thanks to all of you who posted and reached out privately.
This has been the pit of my life.
But because this is not the place for it, I won't mention it again here except possibly in happier reminiscences.
I will say, though, this has been playing on a practically endless loop in...
Roasted a pork loin and baked potato in the wood stove oven today.
I've complained in the past time is short, but I didn't realize how short it actually was.
On Dec 6th, my spouse, my everything, died in a tragic accident.
I would be lying if I claimed to be anything but a hot mess right...
Great work, there, Tatterscratch. And Big Man, your views are spectacular.
I'm trying to check in at the lounge as often as possible, but time is so short right now.
I've been digging out of all the stuff I'd been collecting and the focus turned to the kitchen. Buried under all the stuff I'd...
