Frankly, the whole concept of women's camo undies confuses me. Are they stalking something to kill it? Are they hiding out? Are they wanting to play twinsey with their husband in his camo boxers? Or are they all retired special forces and miss the old days in the barracks?

Valentines Day fell in the middle of our work week, so I promised the beautiful wife a culinary treats weekend. In a short while this goes in the sous vide. This evening I will char some asparagus and steam some baby potatoes. Maybe a gochujang compound butter as well.

You take a bundle of spinach and put it in a colander. You boil a kettle of water and pour it over the spinach to wilt it and mostly cook it.

Nancy and I had a great day today, and now we are having fun. She is making a pizza dough. I have made a chicken stock sauce and spiked it with Italian Five Cheeses. I have tea-kettled spinach, sauteed some mushroom, and diced some marinated artichoke. I also thin sliced some left over chicken. Soon, all of this will come together in a Pizza of the Gods. Friday Night is Odd Ball Pizza Night!

Really? I mean, read this thread! Positive, prayerful, informative. I am so proud to be a member of this group! dtrs5kprs, you and the wife come first. I need unpainted 1/8 ounce heads. I'll send a message.

Nothing going on here nearly as cool as the recent posts. Spatchcocked roast chicken, steamed cauliflower, and a salad with house dressing. Probably won't even post a picture.

Coq au vin blanc Is great! Believe it or not, the Emeril recipe is excellent.

Show us more!

Ted, of course.

Not long ago, I posted about walleye night-crawler harnesses that I had made during a "snow day" holiday from teaching. Several questions were asked. I decided to write this article as a show and tell to encourage anglers who are unfamiliar with the method of fishing to take it up and make their own harnesses. Because I am accustomed to posting about recipes and cooking, I will format this article as if we were making chili. Ingredients high quality monofilament or fluorocarbon line, 10 or 12# test 1/2 to 5/8 inch barrel swivels size 1 or 2 J bend offset worm hooks bobber stops size 1 or 2 super death hooks 1.5 inch Macks Smile blades small swivels float beads size 3 or 4 Indiana, Colorado, Royal, or Willow blades in various metallic or bright colors folded clevises or quick change clevises Methods Chuck's Standard Tablerock Harness Using a Palomar knot, tie the tag end of the spooled line to the J bend worm hook. Snug it down and cut off the tag end, leaving about 1/8th inch above the knot to serve as a worm holder. Hold the hook in one hand and the spool in the other and extend your arms to about 4 feet across. Cut the line at the spool. Thread the new tag end through the bobber stop loop about 4 inches and slide the stop off the loop onto your line. The bobber stop serves to keep the float and blade from pushing down and bunching the worm nose. Move the stop down to within 1 inch or so of the hook knot. Thread the line through the 1.25 inch torpedo float bead of your color choice. (Alternatively use 4 or 5 spherical float beads or 2 or 3 elliptical float beads.) Thread the line through one hard plastic bead. (Note: I use either fluorescent yellow or fluorescent red for all my harnesses.) Put your blade on a folded metal clevis and thread the line through both loops. Be sure the cup of the blade faces the hook. If using a quick change clevis, be sure the C shape is toward the hook and the opening toward the front. Thread the line through a second bead. The first bead on serves to keep the clevis from binding on the float. The last bead on helps prevent moss and leaves from fouling the easy spin of the blade. Holding the components snug against the bobber stop, measure three feet of line from the rigging. Using another Palomar knot, tie on a crane swivel at that point. I store the harnesses wrapped around pool noodles by inserting a nail through the swivel loop and wrapping the harness until I can use the hook point to secure the rig. The Smiling Slow Death Attach your super death or slow death hook to a small swivel. As with Chuck's rig, attach the swivel to the line with a Palomar knot and measure off four+ feet of line. No bobber stop will be necessary, so thread the line through your chosen float beads. Thread the line through one hard plastic bead. Thread the line through a 1.25 or1.9 inch smile blade, back to front. Do not put a bead in front of the smile blade. It restricts the spin of the blade. Snug the rigging to the hook and measure 3 feet of line. Attach the barrel swivel at that point with another Palomar knot. Good luck! This post has been promoted to an article

On a wild, exploratory, personal instinct note, I would also add a splash of Worcestershire sauce.

I made a batch from a recipe in Frank Stitt's cookbook, The Southern Table. Best stuff I've ever had. He calls in Miss Verba's Pimento Cheese after the staff member who makes it. 1 pound grated sharp yellow cheese 1/4 pound cream cheese 1 teaspoon ground white pepper 3 large red peppers, roasted, peeled, seeded, chopped 1/2 cup hgh quality mayonaise 1 taspoon sugar 1 serious splash hot sauce 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper Add all to a bowl and blend thoroughly. Refrigerate and serve chilled. For grilled sandwiches, I would suggest putting the cheese on the bread cold and grilling the bread before the spread melts. Hope that helps. :-)

No, the slow death I make is also different. These are my regulars. I rig a large crawler t-rig style and thread it up the line to the bobber stop. The stop keeps the bead and blade from pushing it back down. As a result the hook point is three inches from the front of the worm and covered. Chuck told me it kept it more weedless. I don't know that that is true, but one hook point hangs less than the two on a standard rig and with no snelling the rig ties much faster. Somewhere I have pictures of my slow death rig. I will see if I can find one and post it.

Chili cheese nachos with guacamole and pico de gallo. The only store bought item are the tortilla chips.

We have several professional lure makers on this forum and several more for whom lure making is a side business or a semi profitable hobby. I don't make lures for money - although I have been known to give them away. What I make are things I cannot buy; things like the customized Top Dollars I had Hughsey paint and then attached Death Trap hooks with the rear hook feathered the way I wanted it. See my avatar. For walleye, the only way I can get the crawler harnesses that Chuck (RIP) taught me to use is to make them. I thought I would show off todays "snow day" creations.

Welcome. I live on Table Rock, the other lake that straddles the Missouri and Arkansas border. Our lakes support walleye and small mouth because our lakes are dammed, highland reservoirs. You may need a year or three to intregrate!

I do not fish Stockton or I would show you. Others do. Read the Stockton reports and do not be shy about PM to those who have posted. For the most part this is a convivial crowd that shares.

A reasonable start point would be a Spro McStick 110 in Dirty Bone or Cell Mate. When it lands, reel five cranks to get it down. Then move it a foot after every 30 second count,

My mother, bless her heart, fried spam in bacon fat on the griddle and then fried pineapple rings in the left over grease. Then she tossed iceberg with radish slices in Kraft Italian dressing and called it dinner. I have worse memories, but you don't need to read those.

Going simple diner style tonight. Browned chicken thighs finished in the oven, flash cooked broccoli, and rice made with chicken broth.
