I saw something the other day that was new to me: choice beef tenderloins and whole briskets at Walmart wrapped with a cable and with an anti-theft thingy. 

            HA! I believe that.  Our store is now locking up shaving cream and razor blades.

About this time last year  I walked up to the self checkout at Walmart, it have over $250 due on the register. I told the closest employee the guy with 5 kids just went out the door,  he didn't even attempt to stop him.

I've worked retail of some kind most all of my life.   The management during orientation sternly explains to new employees not to interfere with people who are stealing.   Doesn't matter how obvious it is that people are stealing,  you don't approach.   The common reason is it is cheaper than a lawsuit from the thief, and or workers comp for the employee.   The "solution" to help prevent potential thieves is to "give them great customer service ".   That was in the hopes of someone not being bold enough to want to steal in front of the associates.   

Meanwhile I made Kings Hawaiian Roll sliders.   They were great as appetizers.

  Merry Christmas to my foodie friends, 

  This might tire you but I could eat this weekly if not more. We were blessed once again with some mallards. Time to eat fresh so Christmas meal. The best two drake breasts were seasoned and the skin was crosshatched. Then into the sous vide @130 while we watched the chiefs victory. I started the charcoal as Pat started the sides. Charcoal ready I added some crabapple wood. On went the duck.

     There is something magical about smoke and fire. A primitive thing. We had the new of the sous vide and that smoke and fire. The transformation to nourishment,

   Then the neighbor showed up with something sweet she had made, neighbors can be a good thing even though a half mile away. I'm full 😁.

Christmas Eve dinner. Baby brother smoked a bone-in pork loin (dang), family favorite cheesy potatoes, bourbon maple glazed carrots, etc. Appetizers galore including cheese fondue down there on the end.

 

Some of the goodies.  Shortbread

Brie with Marty’s honey

 

Limited edition fruitcakes for family and friends that appreciate it (insert tired fruitcakes jokes if you must, but this ain’t that)

Cookie exchange at our house a couple days before ensured we have way too much and will need to regift or pitch. No pics.
