Use to have a Korean neighbor a few moves ago that made her own Kimchi. I loved the ginger version but that stuff had me sweating bullets at least half way through. Felt like I had a full detox afterwards.

 

...my wife is Native American .

 

Noted! Damn you had me at lumpia. I haven't had good lumpia in, damn in way too long...

Me too! I made Filipino street pork belly not long ago. Even used banana ketchup in the marinade. But used stainless steel skewers instead of bamboo.



Tonight was lowly mushrooms. 2 stuffed with bacon and cheddar and 2 with cheese & crab. And a bacon wrapped prime grade ribeye cap steak.

 

It's overcast and a bit muggy here. But the beer is cold, the grill is hot and I'm not at work. So life is good.

 

Dilly-dilly

 

It's too bad I lost my taste for beer. Sometimes it sounds so good!

 

Around here when I see fresh crab advertised I raise and eyebrow. I remember buying blue crabs by the bushel off the dock back home. It's just not the same.

 

Whatever tickles the taste buds when it comes to food or drink. It's all good to me.

 

Anymore it's a tall glass of iced tea.

 

I should own stock in Dr. Pepper.

Looks like the clouds moved in. Wasn't anything in the forecast earlier.

 

Had phone on charger. We sat on back porch watching sunset looking towards El Paso

 

Not rich, no retirement, no portfolio, but view is awesome!

 

Changed mine over to circuit breakers years ago.
I was running out of fuses

I just about to say “pennys”
We actually found one behind a fuse in the garage shortly after moving in.

4 bulb fixtures only get 2 LEDs

 

Ha funny how that works. Back on cutting carbs and already have that strong urge for pasta. Very strong urge.

They are looking awesome looking Rick, great job and nice wrap

For me it is the Dungeness Crab. Used to trout and steelhead fish in the Dungeness River, and of course get those bushel baskets of crabs. Came as a surprise to me that they are all up and down the West coast not just the Dungeness River.

When I was in Bremerton, Wa. and had duty would take a bunch of long lines and tie a nut to the end and leave a tag end. Then tie chicken pieces to the tag end that the ships cooks would give me. Climb out on the huge logs between the pier and ship and drop them off the log and tie them off. By the time I got done dripping them I'd go back and start pulling and there would be a crab upside down hanging on to the meat. Got pretty good at getting them over the log before they let go. I'd fill a mesh laundry bag full of them in an hour. Then the ships cook would cook them up for me and keep some. Here in the Upper Midwest fresh crab? Not so much.

 

It's funny how military gear works so handy for hunting and fishing. We use to use a lot of our gear for camping out.

 

That was kinda like what we did as kids. A tail bone on the end of a piece of twine and a dip net fashioned from chicken wire.

 

Wife is stressed out, she thinks she getting set up to be fired. We cant live here too long without both incomes, great, just as we refinance and start construction.

Life sucks

Her bosses are aholes

Then again she is very paranoid and likes to share the stress, so tomorrow, well who knows?

 

Hopefully it all pans out and it's just a bad feeling. We do alright but it wouldn't take long with us having just one paycheck to go under.

 

The one in the bag I am pretty sure has a plan to ruin your trip definitely the evil eye times 2...:}
