These strawberries have not been hulled properly. Ok, now THAT was funny :biggrin: Good to see you loosen up a bit Munchy mom, I love your breakfast. I wish I could have the same thing every day.

I don't know exactly how thin we're talking, but I pound the hell out of my chicken breasts to make them thin for chicken Parmesan.

I would have been nervous, too. I did a 12 hour one way drive and back on my own, though, a while ago and it gave me so much self confidence P.S. I love the eating on the bread wrapper--it's recycling and no dishes.

YUM. Now THAT'S my kind of Easter dinner!

Oh this sounds so relaxing! Can I be nosy and ask are you meeting up with friends, or is this a vacation for just yourself? I've always wanted to just get away on my own for a couple of days and just do what I wanted the whole time. Even if it's just sitting outside with a glass of wine

I was just thinking about c. game hens. The last ones I did--which was a few years ago- turned out dry dry dry. Maybe they were old....if I recall they were on sale.

I love roasted garlic. My husband probably doesn't love it that I love it....but...such is marriage lol.

This has not been trussed properly. Well, you once cooked a female pheasant that is illegal. Trussing is in the eye of the beholder. I am drooling over the chicken...top 5 of my fave meals.

I'll be right over.

You are a woman after my own heart. I love bloody mary's AND you pickle your own carrots. Awesome.

Just checking in on ya. I hope you're ok down there

Ours are usually around a tree that has fallen and rotted. Also in mossy areas. The Little Arkansas runs through our property so I hunt around there.

Gorgeous, Chris! I smelled them a couple of days ago before the rain started. I need to go and see if I can find them. What is everyone's favorite way to use them? I had the most awesome morel pasta sauce a few years ago. *drool*

MMMMMMMMMmmmmmm........RRO, your pork belly looks so porky and delicious! Do ya'll get tired of my endless nights of pizza pics lol? Beer brats Terrible picture. Not near as pretty as David Ross's. But, I made his hash the other night. BOY was it good. I didn't use the food processor to chop up the meat or the taters, I just did it by hand. And, my hollandaise is a bit too runny. And, my husband wanted to use the blue plates...as in "blue plate special" lol.

Looks like a damn good burger. And, yes, I too love curly fries. I don't care if they are squishy. I still love 'em. It's the kid in me.

I'll have one of each of those tacos, please! Your brisket looks awesome. We've always used a water pot.....interesting. May have to try it your way. Eagerly awaiting the chocolate creation.

Thanks for your response, Tiki I'd LOVE to attend some time...but , every year I look at the pictures and it seems SO over my head. I'm afraid I'd be the class dunce lol. Edited to add : Plus, I don't have one of those cool cooking coats like Chris H. has, either lol

So, even a total and complete newbie like me who has never made a chocolate in her life would fit in ok there? Loving all of the reports, by the way.

Is a strange, wet substance falling from the sky down there? It is here.........I finally figured out that it's rain.

I'd be happy to http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/sandwich-rye-bread-recipe

Kay, I just love that Pie Shop picture. In honor of St. Pat's Day, I made beef corned beef from the grocery store (we usually corn our own venison, but we thought we would be out of town for St. Pat's, so we didn't start one). I halved it and did one half in beef broth NOT using the icky spice packet that comes with the roast and instead using pickling spice that I have. The other half I did in apple cider because I read online it was the way to go. I didn't taste much difference, though. Only thing I did was wash 2 crock pots instead of one lol. I also made the most delicious rye bread ever. I used the recipe from King Arthur Flour. It uses, among other ingredients, dried potatoes and pickle juice. I was really impressed. In fact, I just hacked off another slice, heated it up, drenched it in butter and ate it. Sorry for the bad pictures, I was too lazy to get out the camera and used my phone instead.

Oh. My. God.

Hey Rich! Good to see you blogging! I love your writing style. It's very easy to "get in to" and I feel like I'm sitting next to you having a conversation. I hear you on the gardening. You and I may have to plan a rain dance together. Maybe if we do it together it will have more of an effect. I planted radishes, spinach and lettuce a few days ago and I'm afraid I did it too late. I throw a few "ya'll's" around from time to time...... Oh, and ya'll be safe today....you and I are supposed to have some major tornado possibilities today and tomorrow.

Here it is

I made a sour cream blueberry pie. I've never made one before. It was really good I took a picture, but it's on my iphone. I'll try to retrieve it and post.
