    Yep the BilletHead's sat in Wrench's kitchen/dining room while he was helping and we discussed my boat options. He even invited our dog in for a romp with Orion. Kind of had the feeling I was in Cheers where everybody knows your name. Found a new friend that day. Worth the long trip.

Just came in for a late lunch and HOLY BALLS things are happening in the kitchen!    Smells amazing in here!     Corned beef is stinking up the house, big cabbage wedges all seasoned up and ready to be baked.  All kinds of crazy liquor on the counter.....  

I plan to fish tomorrow, gonna be hard to control my over eating/over drinking urges tonight.  

Now you're practicing self control??!!

Well, I must confess the Shawnee Fire Department was out at stately ness manor again last night. First a little background....I got rid of my land line a couple months ago, so I figured the smoke detectors weren't hot wired to the fire department any more. That was a bad assumption.

...So, I got the cast iron grill screaming hot and threw on some seasoned chicken thighs. The house got pretty smoky real quick and the alarm went off several times, but I kept hitting the code and canceling the alarm. No worries, right? Just an annoyance. Besides, ADT will call if the alarm makes it to them, right?  A neighbor stopped by just to see if everything was OK. Embarrassed, but no worries, right? Next thing I know I've got the fire truck pulling up. No call from ADT, nothing. They always call, right? I told them I was cooking and the guy said, 'I know, I can smell it' They were cool, but I felt like an idiot and apologized profusely for wasting their time. They offered to drag out their fans and purge the smoke, but I didn't want to put them to the trouble. They did it anyway. I offered up the two thighs I wasn't going to eat, but the Captain refused. Not enough to feed the 6 guys anyway. Plus, he said they had dinner waiting back at the station. Chit.

I heard them exclaim as they drove out of sight, 'I hope that dumazz cooks outside tomorrow night.'

Lot of good it did me   The one day I get a chance to go fishing and a cold front blows in.  I could fish with a hangover today and it wouldn't matter.  We'll see. 

 

Dang Ness !   ADT probably called the landline.

Naw, I checked -- they called my cell, I didn't hear it. Probably the smoke alarms and sirens and doorbells drowned it out.

That's why I cook stuff like that in the garage.  Then just my neighbor pokes his head in the door to make sure there's no fire.  And he always wants a taste and a beer.

Great story Ness!

Somewhere in the past I posted about over the top meatloaf. We have guests (my deceased sister's daughter with her husband and daughter and the grand-niece's new "boy friend") so that's what I am serving tonight. I will do a side of charred asparagus.

The grand-niece is in the middle of a no pork phase - why? - and that explains the failure to wrap bacon all the way to the end of the loaf.

   Too funny Ness although it probability wasn't at the time. I too cook outside when I can. Rocking the Wok out there. Cannot start no fires here because the rural fire department will show up in time to save the foundation. Just got the renewal in the mail. Light as well support them as first responders they actually do save lives. Besides some of them let me waterfowl on their places. They may have to drag my wet butt out of the pond.
