Down in the South Side before the game starts. It's so freakin exciting!!
I kept running into these guys! How awesome is this?
Okay, I know that this isn't a 3,000 or higher piece puzzle, but when you look at the number of puzzles displayed, most in the 1,000 range, there are certainly a lot more than 3,000 pieces represented so hopefully Mike won't punish me for posting this one here. I just wanted everyone in the group to see this as I think this would be such a fun project to do, and one that I plan on doing in my house with some smaller puzzles eventually. Obviously the Life puzzle is way too big to be a part of a collage like this, but I'm hoping a 4,000 - 6,000 piece puzzle would make a really nice center focal point with smaller puzzles surrounding it. What do you all think?
A fantastic cab of chlorastrolite I cut.It has a killer pattern and fantastic color.It is flawless on the polished face.It will make a killer womans ring!
These are my heroes.. I wish i were as awesome, funny, charming, and above all handsome as these three men... Or are they in-fact greek gods who reign down on those who are not fortunate enough to be quite as metal as they have become!

I got into the habit of having a coffee around 1115am every day. The Flat Whites in the café there were preeetty gooood!
Oysters are awesome, and their salty/sweetness is enhanced with the right sauce.
Try my CRAZY SPICY COCKTAIL SAUCE for dipping raw oysters, or slathering on a fried oyster po' boy sandwich. Here is the recipe:
COCKTAIL SAUCE INGREDIENTS
1 cup ketchup
1 cup chili sauce
5 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon Asian hot sauce, such as Sriracha
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
COCKTAIL SAUCE INGREDIENTS
Whisk all ingredients to combine. Chill well before using.

September, October, November, December – and so on until March – have a delicious somethin’-somethin’ in common: each month contains the letter “r.” Why is this delicious? Folklore allows us to eat oysters during these months, eschewing the warmer weather days from May through August.
Although oysters are abundant – and edible – year round, summer is spawning season, and their little quivery bodies uses up a lot of their energy to carry on the family name, leaving them often spent and a bit shrively. In cooler weather, oysters fatten up, like many of us do during winter hibernation, and they become plump and plentiful.
In Virginia, oysters can be found off the Atlantic Coast, across the Chesapeake Bay, and in the Bay’s tributaries. Where an oyster lives determines a few things; much like wine grapes, the terroir, or environment, effects flavor. Seaside oysters, growing right on the ocean, are saltier, generally, than oysters up a river, like the Rappahannock. Oysters from on or near the Bay can have a salt level someplace in between.
Because oysters do take on the flavor of where they live, they are typically classified by their place name: on restaurant menus and at fishmongers, you will see names like Lynnhaven, Chincoteague, James River, Rappahannock and York River. Also, their location causes things like saline, mineral and nutritional values to vary; check with restaurant waitstaff or a fishmonger for oyster-specific guidelines.
Oysters are enjoyed in many ways, and why not? They are low in calories and fat, and high in zinc, iron, calcium and vitamin A. Folks steam them, fry them and eat them on the half-shell. It is the latter where we really enjoy our oysters, because all the true flavor of this beautiful little bivalves really shines through.
