Worked the RM Seafood / Slow Food event tonight. Met some great people all around and even got a photo of Chef Rick Moonen staring at a man's rear as he pulled down his pants.
All in all a great evening about super green seafood and also how the world needs to eat more oysters (I am so down with that so Chef just txt me)
Got a lot of stuff left to do tonight so I'll call it a day and use this picture of plating as day 88.
If you want to see more photos from tonight, I'll be posting some on my tumblr in a few days with the rest showing up on Slow Food sometime in the near future.
Prep-work for the feast tonight. I love cooking this meal.
The roasting/gravy flavoring mix: celery, yellow onion (skin-on), carrots and two additional turkey necks. I will add the neck and heart that came with the turkey.
"The 1996 Italian food film Big Night, peaked a decade too early. Audiences today crave food truck wars, watching a man suffer through eating the world’s hottest-ghost-pepper-5lb-cheeseburger… in 20 minutes with no water, the next Top Chef, etc. My son can watch a Pixar movie about a rat cooking haute cuisine. So imagine the Stanley Tucci and Tony Shaloub film if it were released 14 years later in today’s food crazed world? Remember that final scene in Big Night? It is almost 5 minutes long, uncut, nearly wordless. Probably one of the best endings to a movie in hollywood. The two brothers have accepted the defeat of their faltering Italian restaurant in 1950′s New York and the next morning Stanley Tucci’s character cooks a breakfast frittata for his brother, whom he had just had a falling out with the previous night. Imagine instead of a frittata, it was a carbonara cooked in that scene – it would have been perfect.
There are hundreds of different variations to cooking carbonara..." read more here at: Vesper Bistro

We decided we needed new door hardware, which led to painting the door behind the hardware while it was off, which led to painting the framing around the French door glass - and so it goes.. Who knows where it will end!
My neighbor asked why we had paper over the glass in the door. I guess he was nervous because it usually means somebody is cooking meth in the kitchen. As we chatted, it occurred to me that cooking meth would be one way to supplement your retirement if they didn't kick the door down and shoot the dog..
I guess that crossed my mind because he's retired, an' all..
I expect it won't be long and we'll be growing pot when they legalize it here in Texas. Maybe that'll be better than meth as a retirement supplement.. Probably not, because then everybody will be growing their own, and the market will crash... sigh.. it's always somethin' isn't it.........
Charlie and I are going to try carving a reliquary figure. Dave gave us a section of cherry from a tree had taken down last week. We cut out the pith and a couple inches in the center today in an attempt to limit splitting.
In 1995, the CN sold the CV to a company that renamed it the NECR, then broke the union so they could run 1 person crews a'la Guilford's stunt with the Springfield Terminal eating the B&M/MEC. Alas for the NECR, it was not quite big enough or separated enough from the /militantly/ union PV&T, so even having scabs didn't pave the way to success when the PV&T was offering competitive shipping rates and faster freight car handling than the (slower, dieselised, undercrewed) NECR.
After a nasty wreck in 1998, the NECR threw in the towel and filed for bankruptcy, at which point the PV&T unhinged its corporate jaws like a snake and swallowed it up.
The CV (the name was reverted first thing after the merger paperwork was completed) spent some time running as normal (but with 3-person crews) while the PV&T central offices inspected the line and decided which redundant trackage could be abandoned or sold to another shore line (tl/dr; about half of it. Norwich/Willimantic, the Connecticut River/Montpelier, and Burlington to Essex Junction were kept, along with some small sections of line in cities served by both railroads, and the rest was abandoned or sold off) and purchased some new (used; ex CN & CP) C-425s to replace the hodgepodge of EMDs that were already on the line.
In 1999, all this prepwork was done, the CV was formally merged into the PV&T system, and the 12 new C-425s were put to work -- in a close clone of the first generation CV paint scheme -- on the remaining parts of the railroad.)

Was cleaning up my photo-room and thought this lighting in my livingroom looked nice.
The Kaya eyes are a pain in the ass to light properly but overall im happy for something with zero prepwork.

This line up is used to prep the field for next year when there will be corn in the field. The two tanks at the rear are anhydrous ammonia which incorporates nitrogen into the soil using the red device (tool bar) in the middle of the line.The machine behind the tractor is a strip till residue applicator used to break up the residue, apply fertilizer and prepare the seed bed.

MJ and I spent the weekend in Ft Dodge, where we stayed at a crummy hotel and she participated in a dance competition. Her team did well, earning "firsts" for both numbers! They also placed third overall for their production number today. Go MJ!
Three of the jack-o-lanterns that James made.
I owe are HUGE thank you for all the carving time and the prepwork to JamesSeattle.
