Voltron

Smoked brisket Eggs Benedict with hollandaise and BBQ sauces. Fantastic idea and this was a very tasty example, but the sane dish with Brisket Fairy Brisket™ would be amazing.

Liked the Turbo Vado Super Light so much, I bought another one in Michigan. Same silver and black. We couldn't find Claire an SL in Northern Michigan or online so we got her the regular Turbo Vado 5.0 in cherry red. Hers puts out 4x your effort, which is twice the assist of the SL, but it is a much heavier bike. Both are great for the rolling hills and we have already done 30 and 40 mile rides

Brent would be dead for sure

Oh that's terrible, Chris. So sorry for your loss. Fuck dementia.

That's awesome Adam! And during the Tour de France! Jealous

Have a great one José! Cheers!

Happy 40th Birgir! Cheers!

Have a great one Greg! Cheers!

Happy Birthday youngster! Cheers!

Good call also. Not even completely snarky in this instance. 😁

Those photos are vachement cool.

Why not Stax 4070?

I just went through Boulder Creek last week on a trip to a sawmill at the top of Empire Grade, which is next door to a Lockheed Martin Space Systems facility. Fire scarred is an understatement but the sawmill is in an amazing spot.

I still have my old Traeger with a Blaz'n Grills controller and it is fine but not SOTA anymore. I might still go for the 780 if I were buying a new one. My nephew has a Camp Chef with side burner that he likes quite a bit and it creates a lot of smoke. @Hopstretch doesn't have the Memphis anymore and the Twin Eagles set he has is great but $$$$

Happy Birthday Kerry! Cheers!

Sorry for your loss, Jeff. Sharon sounds like a wonderful woman who will be missed by many.

Congrat to your American better half!

Nothing too amazing or intense, but I wanted to try the new bike on White's Hill, where Claire has always had to stop a couple of times to get over on her old hybrid Trek. We both went up and over without stopping and then went to lunch. Eventually, we want to ride all the way out to Point Reyes with more hills along the way.

Congrat!

Thanks Nate! The benefits of making it yourself are flavoring and spice level is up to you, no MSG or preservatives, no artificial colors, etc. It's not hard and I like being able to pull it out of the freezer when the mood hits.

Somebody let me know if you can access the NYT article and the recipe, which is a further link at the end

See if this link works for an NYT article and recipe for the blocks. There is a quick recipe for stew at the end and I then below is a link to a chatty article and recipe from Serious Eats that gives more ideas and a same day recipe for making a stew without freezing blocks. I use more blocks than the NYT recommend when making a stew for a thicker and stronger curry. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/11/magazine/japanese-curry-bricks-recipe.html?unlocked_article_code=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACEIPuomT1JKd6J17Vw1cRCfTTMQmqxCdw_PIxftm3iava3DEDm8biOEcDIGS-kHAIqhqf9I10i-WAdRcKqU-AfZoz-RcJAl3RgKpupbCmIgAJ299j7OPaV4M_sCHW6Eko3itZ3OlKex7yfq15UzWaGfuD7iL13BwOApjoJJ6fAyv32gKz63AEeV13tEv1fsxF9stE2d7ESqMufTjDRR6O8zXLU2Pr1lrBJwKHG3bjtWe6LkfcQpNCVmgTH934G406Ns0K8pAde-kbEZmIJyi9O1XXm94L46pBIkzQZzXlNhptb3PqR-PyKmm1jBJ2c8K-tiwtgU6zzsqALE&smid=url-share https://www.seriouseats.com/japanese-curry-kare?utm_term=Homemade+Japanese+Curry+Rice+Kare+Raisu&utm_campaign=Daily+Serious+Eats&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Daily+Serious+Eats+CID_e62341909ff40d2045f766a2cd972db3&utm_source=Email+campaign

Good choice Moonshine!

Steve will not like the timing of this one, because it's one of his favorites. I made Japanese curry with chicken, potatoes and carrots using the frozen curry blocks I made a couple of years ago. The blocks did not suffer from their long rest, and I have a few more blocks, so I can make it again when Steve is here. 😁
