Had a little get-together for Easter. The missus did most of the cooking, with me as sous chef. Kinda. Lemon and blueberry scones: Cheesy potato casserole, sausage, egg and cheese breakfast casserole, spiral-cut ham, deviled Easter eggs and my contribution: fruit salad. All very tasty, but the star of the show was the fruit salad

Cracked me up too! Rugged fishing guide/bush plane pilot with his fluffy little dog clipped to his chest 😄

We did a weekend down in Pawhuska a couple years ago. Fun trip. Learned a little about the Osage murders. Fascinating story. Beautiful country down there-kinda the south edge of the Flint Hills. Did you eat anywhere good?

Orvis introduces Pro Dog Waders https://news.orvis.com/fly-fishing/introducing-the-new-orvis-pro-dog-waders?adv=352841&cm_mmc=linkshare-_-je6NUbpObpQ-_-1-_-352841&ranMID=38663&ranEAID=je6NUbpObpQ&ranSiteID=je6NUbpObpQ-UikoNjFcK9GNpxiztnz6Aw

I never minded the smell of a skunk at a distance either. Then a couple bird dogs I know got sprayed and expected a ride back from western KS. And after that they wanted to sleep inside too. It changed me

Congrats on the Blackstone. Had to lookup White Grill. It looks very much like the Town Topics here in KC. Great burgers with grilled onions. A late-night staple for hungry folks staggering out of Westport or the Crossroads.

Yes they have been slow. I work in MO (or should I say my work address is in MO, but I've only been there 3 times since 2/2020) and I was able to get round 1 yesterday in Lee's Summit, MO. Including the required 15 minute wait time after the shot, I was in and out in less than 10 minutes.

Just did that. My goodness!! I'm glad you're on the mend and back on here. What was your previous screen name, if you don't mind me asking?

I’ve had more tech problems in my little world the last couple months than I can ever remember. Used to be I was able to figure a lot of stuff out on my own, but it’s way more complicated now. Glad the pics are back here. It’s a big part of things and it would suck if it went away. Thanks.

...He put in a ticket

Glad to have photos back here! I love rodeos, and some of the best opportunities for good photos I have found are in the barrel racing. Here's a couple of my favorites from a few years back: And...if you smile and engage folks, you can get some great people pics: .

I just checked the fist post of 'What's Cooking' from 2015 and pictures are there. Thanks

I think all pictures older that a few days ago are gone, not just avatars. Look here

Our St. Patty's meal: Beef stew with Guinness with lots of rosemary and thyme. Irish soda bread: a sweet-ish version with dried cranberries. And...a my goodness, my Guinness!

MO Morel Hunting group on FB shows several findings in southwest MO including Barry, Christian, McDonald counties.

You're gonna make shine, aren't you?

I think pictures older that a day or two are gone too.

Just remembered this thread... Drove out to Manhappenin, KS just for something to do a couple weeks ago. We stopped to get some ice cream and while fumbling around trying to get into the car I set my phone on the roof. Later, as I was cruising down Highway 177 (the "Bill Snyder Highway" stretch) at the posted speed limit of 70 MPH, a hear a clunk. Then another. Then I had the 'Oh darn it!' moment. I looked in the rear view mirror to see my phone cartwheeling down the highway. I got over, found a turn around about a mile up, flipped a U, then found another, did a U and headed back. I knew almost exactly where it was going to be. I pulled up and saw it sitting on the shoulder of the highway. I hopped out figuring it would be toast and... Nope. It was face down, but just a little scuff on one corner of the case and a little crack in the plastic near the camera.

But wait, there’s more! My maternal grandparents immigrated from Lebanon and raised 8 kids in a small house in Nanticoke, PA. One of my aunts, Saint Josephine, sent Syrian bread to us routinely when we were growing up. It’s similar to pita but a little thicker, with more crispness and chew. Not really like the soft pita that’s out there now. And it’s not freakin’ Greek 😃 Searched out some recipes and struck out today. Cooked them in the Ooni. Fun to watch go from 1/8th inch thick to about 3 inches in the high heat before collapsing. Very tasty and very easy. Will definitely do again.

And... More adventures with the Ooni pizza oven. There’s a learning curve. Been trying to find the sweet spot between slight char and burned. I think I’ve got it dialed in now. This was the best pizza we’ve made so far: tomatoes, fresh mozzarella prosciutto. Delicious!!

Recent stuff. Beef stroganoff. Grilled pork loin with BBQ rub, roasted sweet potatoes and the San Francisco treat Roasted chicken with steamed asparagus and more SFT.

I think Mel Brooks needs to resign from whatever it is he's doing now.

Found this pic. The boy had a bit of a problem hitting things at first

I've got my dad's side-by-side Montgomery Ward 410 circa about 1930 that was his first gun. First gun I shot, and first gun each of my three babies shot. I gotta hang onto it, but not sure what'll ever happen with it. They won't be arguing over that one Hope you're able to find one. I think it's a good way to get someone started.

Looks delicious. Details, please. How did you do the shot ribs? What's your method on polenta? I love the stuff but just don't get around to making it.
