My first time cooking pork chops on a cast iron griddle on the stove top. They turned out good but I like them better cooked on the Weber kettle grill.


YES!! Those are def good lookin' chops there, Paul B. ... and in total agreement as to the Weber! Charcoal adds a certain je ne sais quoi to meat and veggies cooked on it. Nothin' else like it!

(AND don't get me started about medical concerns of cooking with charcoal.... Big Pharma doesn't know TASTE from a Hole in the Ground.... and they have a prescription ready to sell you for crazy $$$ when they "discover" it!)

Sorry for the morning rant.....

How right you are! You don’t need to have any artistic talent as long as you are a good salesman. Don’t believe me? Jackson Pollak. He literally throws a bucket of paint onto a canvas and calls it art and then gullible people pay big bucks for it. A monkey could throw paint, forge JPs signature and nobody could tell the difference.

Maybe I’m just envious that I didn’t think of throwing paint first.

With apricots, cardamon, carrots and leeks.

I got a new LC braiser and then dug out my old Molly Stevens cookbook. I have never had a Boston Butt pork roast before. So I went to my locoal butcher to get a fresh one and not one that was prepackaged. That was after reading about how to buy pork in her cookbook. I have also never tied a roast before. The butcher gave me enough twine to do it. The flavor was very good and the meat was moist and tender. It was very good! I would make another one.

Before searing it and putting it in the oven.

I've posted this several times over the years, and people seemed to appreciate it. A friend of ours had a minor stroke, but she didn't realize it. As soon as my wife spoke to her, she knew her friend had a stroke. She made a full recovery.

Stroke: Remember the 1st Three Letters..... S. T. R.

Stroke Identification
During a BBQ, Jane stumbled and took a little fall. She assured everyone that she was fine and declined the offer of paramedics). She said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.

Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital, and at 6:00 PM, she passed away. She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ, and that is why she fell. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within three hours, he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within three hours, which is tough.

Recognizing a Stroke
A bystander can identify a stroke by asking the person to do four simple things:

S - Ask the individual to smile.

T - Ask the person to talk and speak a simple, coherent sentence.

R- Ask him or her to raise both arms.
New one - Have the person stick out his tongue. If the tongue is crooked and cannot be held straight, that is a sign of a stroke.

If he or she has trouble with any one of these tasks, call 911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

Find the nearest hospital with a stroke center.

THIS is great info, jerryc41!! Having had a TIA last May, my wife recognized the symptoms (I honestly did not know what the problem was) and got me to the hospital, pronto. Stroke is not a thing in my family - until me!
~ Fully recovered so that I can't get out of any chores..... Well, I still try though!

Older cameras with CCD sensors (for that retro film look) are the Instagram rage, prolly the same for Facebook.

I am not baking bread as often as I would like, I love baking bread..... ooooh the yeasty smell of fresh baked bread..oh how it fills the home.... slathered with salty farm-made butter and some homemade strawberry jam and a cup of coffee to wash it down. One slice two slices 3 slices four next thing ya know you can't get through the door.


Holy Mother of all that Smells/Tastes FANTASTIC in the World of Food! You are one VERY versatile cook/photographer/artist there, sourdough58! I can only imagine the vapor of Fresh Baked Bread, reminding me of the redolence of bread being baked by either of my Grandmothers and later The Wife (albeit, from the bread machine, RIP in the landfill) (the bread machine, not the Wife, just to clarify...)!

These images tell a great story!! .... Whooohoo!!
