What is wrong with you two?? Did you get a visit from Belsnickle? I'm with Joe D -- just this once -- Vince Guaraldi Trio takes me right to my childhood and Charlie Brown. I like a lot of the traditional stuff, and some contemporary takes on them too. But there are far, far too many remakes of the old standards that just suck.

Lobster Newburg tonight. Not lo-cal ?

Shop from the comfort of wherever you're sitting right now! Amazon has it here. I love Amazon, and they love me.

Wow! Everybody's cookin up a storm! Lotsa good looking stuff! Daddy O, I like the sound of that recipe. A couple things in there you don't expect like snap e toms, mustards and pork and beans. I can see how that would work though. Marty. -- you are the undisputed king of scavenging!! I know there's a better word for it, just can't come up with it. Chief -- those chickens look amazing. Gavin --!thatna time-tested recipe there. Used to make it all the time in the crock pot I had Wendy's But there's a couple lobster tails in the fridge for tomorrow night.

Yeah -- clam chowder tastes good. This is thin and milky as made. I thought the broth was too bland, and didn't really like the flavor of the oysters.

Welcome back, JD. Glad to know it went well and the healing is going good.

LOL.

Here's a new installment of ness' kitchen tips: Screw the Bailey's lid on tight! Had a bottle of Bailey's in the cupboard -- and hand't been in to it since last Christmas. I had a little ant problem this summer, but got them wiped out. Never did figure out what they were marching across the counter for. So, I put a little Bailey's in the java last weekend and...

So, my new lady friend is an Iwegian, and I guess up there oyster stew is a holiday tradition. Really simple stuff -- fresh oysters sautéed quickly in butter with the liquor, then added to hot milk with salt and pepper. That's her mom's recipe anyway, though there are more involved recipes out there. Serve with oyster crackers. She had a work thing last night, so I gave it a practice run. This is an acquired taste.

Good looking fare there, Gavin! I love a simple pan sauce like that on my meat and taters.

Bring your missus and a beer!

Looks good.

LOL. And that's all I've got to say about that.

Dayum! What'd you use for cheese sauce?

Better wine choice, and made more of a meal of it this Wednesday.

Oh, I figgered you had zero. Did you buy it yesterday? Otherwise, you're underwater.

Stimulator is a favorite pattern for me. Pretty easy to tie, float well and they're durable. I use them as indicators year around but don't get bit on them as much in the colder months.

Same as you.

Started to post this earlier in the morning, but the site was down for maintenance. Wanted to revive the old thread and update folks on where GPRO is trading. But, while I waited a rumor started making the rounds that Apple is possibly interested in buying them out. As of now, the stock is up $1.99 a share versus $0.36 when I did this chart. Make that +$2.15. I can't type fast enough. Anyhoo -- who knows? Stocks in particular, and markets in general, are fickle. GPRO's trading at around 14x earnings right now, which is reasonable compared to the 90x after the IPO. I think a lot of folks feel they understand a product and therefore the stock. This is a great example of how that can cost you. The company's gotta be profitable and generate cash for a stock to have value.

Yeah, I double backup everything. Phone pics are offloaded frequently to iMac, and it's backed up daily with Time Machine. I also have a Carbonite backup going all the time in case of a disaster. Anyhoo -- sounds like good fishing!

You come to KC on a Wednesday and I'll buy you a dozen McCormick and Schmick. See the plaza lights too. Limited time offer

Yeah, agree the wine wasn't a great match. The oysters were an afterthought -- just stopped in for a glass of wine after dinner and some shopping. Dollar oysters and shrimp on Wednesday night

Yes, same lady. Oysters never hurt, but ness don't need no help.

My uncle was a duck hunting nut back when I was a kid. He had an outstanding black lab that was a joy to watch retrieve birds. And, like all labs, had the great personality. I love my Brittanys, but they don't care for the water much. I'll probably always have a Brit, but my next dog may be a lab. So, I ordered this bad boy yesterday: Cabela's Northern Flight 1 Mobile 1 layout blind here. Pretty inexpensive and highly rated.
