I wish for good health and happiness for everyone who reads this.

In the corner of the mouth.

No noodle lasagna. Made in the usual way layered with seasoned ground beef, ricotta with shredded Italian cheese mixture and a couple of eggs, prego chucky garden style sauce. But with a layer of sliced zucchini on the bottom, a sliced portabella for the middle layer where noodles would go and third layer zucchini again.

We all like it better when we are not low on oxygen.

The Balvenies are always welcome libations. Good stuff across the brand.

Don't ever say you are sorry unless it means .... oh heck I forgot.

Maybe I should set up the deck of the Shawnee with some Astroturf so he can fish and hit golf balls at the same time.

Everybody else has/is quitting golf. I'm taking it up.

Get a big CC bay boat if you want stable. 20' plus.

It's probably just me but for Taneycomo, the colder the better. Nice fish Brit. Good job all!

You are a dog.

Marty, I've had duck ham before and it was incredible. Yours looks to be at least the equal, if not the master. Great job sir.

We also had a Honey Baked Ham on Saturday. Ham and bean soup tonight. That big hambone, a generous handful of scraps, about a cup of the gelled liquid that was in the roaster after warming and a pound of great northerns are decorating the smell of the house right now. About 90 minutes before dinner will add coarse chopped onion, carrot chips, celery and a can of diced tomatoes. The corn bread will be done the right way, in preheated cast iron frying pan.

Family gathering here for early Christmas this weekend. I have meatballs cooking in the oven right now. two lbs ground beef, two eggs, three slices of bread broken into pieces, a medium onion finely chopped, two cloves of garlic pressed, three tablespoons of Lea and Perrins, one tablespoon of Dijon mustard, one teaspoon of Louisiana hot sauce, one tablespoon of Head Country seasoning, salt and fresh ground pepper. Mix well by hand and roll into one inch balls. Bake at 350 until browned. They will be put into the crockpot Saturday morning with a very simple and tasty sauce. Two bottles of Heinz chili sauce and 1/2 cup or so of good red wine. Saturday will be an old vine zinfandel. I'll figure something out for what to do with the rest of that bottle of wine.

You worked at NASA too? Cool.

Appropos of nothing, we have a Great Pyrenees named Barry White.

Is that THE red phone we've all heard so much about?

No sunburn but do have a nice set of coon eyes again.

Scotch Rose'. Sounds interesting. A new twist on Bloody Mary ala Vernon County?

If you know what's good for you, you will stop being difficult.

Stop covering up the labels on the wine. Seriously.

Can hardly wait for what's to come.... Wondering if the scotch is still drinkable?????

Phil, my regrets. Family will be here this weekend for an early Christmas. Best wishes to everyone for lots of fish to be caught and good food and fellowship enjoyed by all.

Why on God's green earth anyone would have a problem with and feel the need to insult the participants in what is in effect an interactive on-line cookbook is beyond me.

Awesome!
