Beef stew with farro.

I apologize for moving away from TR. I know I was not as informative as BB, but I did try to contribute. Retirement and family changed that. Shhh, don't tell the family, but I wish I still lived on the lake.

Soy, ginger, and sesame vinaigrette is fantastic. Mushroom substitution for meat fantastic. What's not to lose?

Another thing to try. Fish the channel edge or part of the slope as it goes to the channel.

Bake penne in a home made marinara.

Cataract surgery took me from everything blurry to 20/20 distance, and I need a little boost on close in things. Get it done.

Brussels sprouts needed less time; the rest is how I wanted.

A recent set of posts inspired me. Sheet pan meatloaf my way ready for the oven. The glaze is mostly mustard with some ketchup and a dash of maple syrup.

Same but with legal pleadings.

My mother wound up in trifocals for the same reason. She preferred lined so she could sort zones as needed.

Henna or tattooed fingers? I love them!

Upside downs are good for golf a well. They let you keep a straight spine.

I love meat loaf! I need to make one soon. Somewhere in these 1380 pages, I posted how I do mine.

My father in law called it whats this here sauce.

Strip steak with broccolini and roasted potatoes. Lavash pizza.

It will be a pain, but cast a 1/8 oz. Ned and let it sink on a free line. When it finally hits bottom, retrieve it very very slowly without lifting it. (scrub a grub) Alternatively use your troll motor to drag it a .4 to .5 mph. Walleye love Neds and when they won't hit at a normal speed, first try real slow. If that won't work try a Norman Deep Diver 22 at 30'+ feet at 3mph. (30' = 120' back on 10# braid)

Catching up. Soy/orange juice/white wine marinated wings, wings plus tomato tart, and stew with pickled walnuts.

smallmouth bass

Home made gazpacho. I served it with grilled cheese and bacon burgers.

Tomorrow is my birthday. In case anyone cares, I will be 75. Older than I ever expected to be. I am still vertical, so I guess I won. Last night my Nancy trapped me. I thought we were going to dinner at the better venue where we live. As we entered, she told me to turn into the group room and I found six of the close friends we have made. I was in the middle of a surprise birthday. Tonight we had family over. Daughter, sister, her husband, niece, her husband, grand niece, her husband, close friend of sister (maid of honor who lives in this community), and a stray fiend to all that I really like. I made burgers and sesame soy ginger shrimp. They brought the sides. Nancy fixed one of the few sweets I love, a Boston Cream Pie. Life does not get better. No pictures, but one of the things I served by the burgers was roasted sesame, soy, ginger shrimp. Seriously good and you need to try them.

This time of year is always tough. What walleye I found were flat on the bottom on deep channel edges. I could not "see" them on the sonar and had to fish at known locations. I usually used crawler tipped jigs fished very slowly or patiently jigging spoons until they gave up and ate them.

Is that bacon grease flambe?
