Been wanting steak, so picked up a couple little tenderloins. Store-bought twice-baked taters and some shrooms with a little thyme, beef broth, wine and butter. This sure hit the spot. Had with some Kansas table wine. Don't laugh -- this stuff is excellent. We stumbled onto this winery on an adventure in the Flint Hills. They have got it figured out. They also do a Chambourcin and Traminette that are excellent. Only problem is they don't sell it in town -- and it's an hour plus out to their winery in Paxico, KS. Getting down to the end of the stock, so we're gonna make another trip. Johnsfolly, tho1mas and BilletHead like this

oops. Moved to 'What's Cooking' thread

The dried ones were nasty.

I will let you know how it goes. Other dried mushrooms were rubbery for me, so I know what you mean.

Thanks guys. I've never even had them, so I bought some dried ones the other day. Goinna have them with a steak tonight, I think.

Might get out and give this a try this weekend. What's the habitat you should look for chantarelles in?

I have seen them; don't remember where.

That wok is pretty cool. I think the high heat you can achieve on that beats what can be done on a stovetop model. And wokkery is all about high heat.

Dang.

I used to hang with a vegan chick who had a bunch of food allergies. That wasn't very fun.

Geez.

I forgot you had stayed there too. They were very cool little places, and I really loved staying there. I gave Richard a call the other day and talked to him for a while. Tried to wedge into a cabin one last time but they're booked -- as usual. He's about the nicest guy on the planet, and Grace was a sweetheart. He was pretty sad about it I think. Here's a couple pics of our favorite cabin. This one is outside the park and over near the Beaver Meadows entrance. I guess it's staying in the family, but they didn't open it up this year. This is the house Grace grew up in. He said he recently read a letter from Grace's mom to her dated 1935 saying they were going to build a house in Colorado. This is it -- they finished it in 1938.

I'd agree -- Myron is a good guy. I've always enjoyed chatting with him too. Interesting guy.

OK -- so I posted the wrong link. Here's the right one.

This one was in there too. "We've all been frustrated by exams."

From CBS News: In deciding to drop the charges, district attorney Jerry D. Jones cited insufficient evidence and the opportunities that exist for the players. "I want to emphasize once again that the main reason I'm doing this is that I refuse to ruin the lives of two young men who have spent their adolescence and teenage years, working and sweating, while we were all in the air conditioning," Jones told KNOE News in Louisiana.

Came across this -- somebody e-mailed it to me in 2007 and I've kept it since then. It was a simpler time Two Texas farmers, Jim and Bob, are sitting at their favorite bar. Jim turns to Bob and says, "You know, I'm tired of going through life without an education. Tomorrow I think I'll go to the community college, and sign up for some classes." Bob thinks it's a good idea, and the two leave. The next day, Jim goes down to the college and meets the Dean of Admissions, who signs him up for the four basic classes: Math, English, History, and Logic. "Logic?" Jim says. "What's that?" The Dean says, "I'll give you an example. Do you own a weed whacker?" "Yeah." "Then logically speaking, because you own a weed whacker, I think that you would have a yard." "That's true, I do have a yard." "I'm not done," the dean says. "Because you have a yard, I think logically that you would have a house." "Yes, I do have a house." "And because you have a house, I think that you might logically have a family." "Yes, I have a family." "I'm not done yet. Because you have a family, then logically you must have a wife. And because you have a wife, then logic tells me you must be a heterosexual." "I am a heterosexual That's amazing, you were able to find out all of that because I have a weed whacker." Excited to take the class now, Jim shakes the Dean's hand and leaves to go meet Bob at the bar. He tells Bob about his classes, how he is signed up for Math, English, History, and Logic. Logic?" Bob says, "What's that?" Jim says, "I'll give you an example. Do you have a weed whacker?" "No." "Fag."

Screw it, I'm buying a kayak.

Weaver's Tackle Store posted a video on Facebook.

The perfect kayak is a canoe

I've got to try that sometime.

Lemme see if it's ok to have company.

That's some crazy stuff right there! Does it have a name, or was it just something you made up? Sounds like it would work.

If all goes as planned, I'm gonna be down near Fort Scott fishing a strip pit Saturday. You wanna run some over to me?

Just read this article, and it's really kinda sad in a way. Our family stayed there a number of times.
