  1. iOS 11 has crippled my iPhone 6 Plus to the point where it's painful to use.  11.1 is slightly better but with the joy-joy add of draining the battery in about 6 hours. Not exactly looking to upgrade the phone right now but this sucks.


    My 6+ was fine on 11, but Debbie’s 6 has gone totally to shit. Slow, connectivity issues. I got my X yesterday and everything is very snappy. And so much smaller than the + models. Debbie has already decided to get an X ASAP.

  2. Debbie made Vivian Howard’s tomato pie tonight. Al made one a couple of weeks ago. Tomatoes, caramelized onions, basil, fontina and parmigiana reggiano. We had it at her restaurant a couple of years ago and loved it. Ours turned out very good with awesome flavor. Couldn’t stop eating it.

  3. Took most of my remaining ripe tomatoes, but I made a tomato pie from the Farmer and the Chef's recipe and I am desperate to eat it even though I have to wait awhile.

    Is that the Vivian Howard recipe? We had that straight from the source, her restaurant. It is very very good.

    Al,

    Let us know if there are specific things that Steve and his Mom need.

    This.^^^

    Steve texted Debbie with essentially the same info. Glad to hear that his mom's home is safe.

    If we hear any way we can help we'll post it, or if Al or Shel or others hear, let us know. We all want to help our brother.

  5. Shelly's cousin Hurricane Harvey is wreaking havoc over the Texas gulf coast. I just wanted to share that we have been in contact with Shel and Steve and both are ok. Steve moved inland and is going to try to get back home today to assess any damage.

  6. Filet's with an orzo salad. Steaks were in the water bath for 90 minutes @ 126F, then seared on the Weber over the Slow n Sear for about 30 seconds on each side. Neither of us were fond of the orzo salad. If we do it again it will need major tweaking. But the steaks made up for it. Tender as they get.

  7. Signed up for SONY Playstation Vue to hopefully replace Dish Network for our TV viewing pleasure. Dish has gone to hell with their latest software update, and frankly their cost is pretty insane. PS Vue is less than half the price, and we get 90% of our normally watched channels including local CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox channels. Unlimited cloud DVR with 28 day show retention. We're running it on a Gen 4 Apple TV downstairs and an Amazon Fire TV in the bedroom. The guide is weird, but we'll get used to it. We are on a 5 day free trial so we'll see how it goes.

  8. So, after a 6 hour slow cook, decent results for a first try. I had to mess with temp quite a bit, and eventually removed the TTT and continued with just the slow n sear. We also discovered that St. Louis ribs may not have been the best choice. But in the end we had good bark, a decent smoke ring and smoke flavor. Not a bad first outing.
