    What's Cooking?

    Shrimp tacos. Marinated in oil, chipotle powder, ancho chili powder and garlic powder. Mango salsa with red onion, jalapeño and lime juice. Sauce of mayo, chipotle powder, hot sauce.
  2. You've clearly give this more thought than I ever did
  3. Well I was under 18 too. Double jeopardy -- we're fine.
  4. Trixie was hot!
  5. Anybody remember this? or this?
  6. I'll reciprocate!
  7. I know you see that and think dinner. I see that and think that tomato thief better stay the he&& outta my attic!
  8. Here's another angle...
  9. But that's not how she was!
  10. I'm about 8 months into this and I really love the camera. I get great pictures right out of the camera. Love the Auto-ISO, film simulations, much more. The only thing is...Fujifilm's next level up camera went on sale and Adorama will pay me enough for my old camera to make the upgrade less than if I had bought the better one to begin with. Make sense? Well, if it's a little squishy sounding that's because I'm justifyin' here! Bought the Fujifilm X-T3 and sold the X-T30. New one is a little larger, better build (magnesium alloy body), weather sealed and adds ISO and metering modes on external dials, rather than in menus. Shutter and exposure compensation are still on dials like on the previous one. Over the last several months I've really grown to love the external dials. Everything you need for exposure, metering and mode is on a dial. You can see where you are at a glance, make the adjustment and shoot quickly without fumbling through menus. These additions are what really got me thinking. That and the sale. And the beefier build. And the fact that I never buy anything for myself, which Kathy points out is what I say every time Since it's a little bigger it feels better in the hand. And, the buttons are spaced out more and there's the addition of a 4-axis d-pad for moving around in menus or changing focus points. Other than all that it's pretty similar to the old one specs-wise, mostly a better form factor and a few advanced features. There will be very little learning curve on this upgrade. Pretty jazzed about the upgrade. It's what I would have bought if I'd have had more confidence switching from Nikon to Fujifilm back in January. But I love the system, and I'm all in now. I've got the better body and the range covered from 15mm to 300mm in three zoom lenses and a 50mm prime. I'm in great shape -- just need to get out and shoot!! Here's a few of my favorites from the old camera:
  11. I have had that happen on my phone when I have a very weak internet connection. I know it sounds weird but that's what I figured out. Try turning off WiFi and see if it works with cell, or get to a better WiFi connection.

    Repeat. You need to read previous responses before posting. We have high standards here in this thread. @Phil Lilleyplease add the negative like function. He needs to be docked a like for this blunder 😄
  14. Back in the office today for the first time since March. Really, not much has changed... ...unfortunately 😄☘️
  15. I think they're more like a race. And, not trying to be funny -- I think it's a pigment thing not a species or subspecies.
  16. Those black squirrels are starting to show up in lots of places. Saw my first one up in Davenport, IA a couple years ago. MIL told me the story. Kinda cool. Got to Googling and they're scattered all over the place. Never see them here though, so far.
  17. Coyotes, foxes and turkeys interfere with my enjoyment of hunting quail and pheasant. I think they should be eradicated. I can't imagine why they were ever reintroduced. Where's a good biologist when you need him??

    And, I used stone ground grits because no self-respecting southerner would use instant grits.

    Thanks -- this was pretty good. Used the basic idea from my Étouffée recipe for the seasoning and gravy but with Italian peppers from the garden since we had them on hand.

    Shrimp n’ grits the other night Found a nice t-bone, grilled it, roasted potatoes, salad and a really good Pinot Noir.

    And yes, it was ranch, and it was artery-clogging delishus!

    All this talk about oil reminds me of an old Garry Shandling joke, sorta: 'I keep 2 cans of oil next to my bed, 10W-30 and 10W-40, because I never know what time of year it's going to happen.'
