September afternoon, sunny. A very impressive midge hatch going on right now in the yard that has the dragonflies out in full force. A real sight for all of us.

Us smarter ones almost always do what we are told. That almost part gets me in the doghouse now and again.

It's a mostly shallow turbid reservoir with not a lot of structure. I killed a lot of ducks there and caught some decent catfish in the spring.

Making stuffed bell peppers to go on the egg later.

Granny Smith is my go to cooking apple. Always crisp and tart. Great apple flavor.

Which apples (please say Granny Smith!)and what kind of sausage? Looks and sounds good. Sweet and savory is a great way to go.

I'm marinating a London Broil that's gonna have mashed cauliflower for a side.

Those Vegas street people. Just too much. Happy happy day.

No redwood?

Up here on this dry Springfield Plateau, mosquitos are not normally a problem. This year I don't think I've been bitten once at home. That's a great deer hunting early season report. Love hearing about the recurve hunting.

It matters to me and I strongly prefer 2 lb.

True to a point. Though a hunt without quarry is like NFL preseason football. Not very satisfying and mostly meaningless.

You look SHOCKED! Great fish pix though.

I thought everybody liked little salty pickled tender crunchy things?

Dry Chivas Rob Roy. 2 oz chivas, 1 oz dry Martini and Rossi, 2 anchovie stuffed olives. Shake the chivas and vermouth on ice, strain into a cold martini glass and add the two olives on a toothpick. They have to be anchovie stuffed for the recipe to work. Any other quality highland scotch will be fine.
