It was good seeing those kids win. Seems the best athletes from there come to the mainland to play. I don’t really have a dog in the fight just hate Californias politics.
We have down sized on the critters so far less chores for the wife, chickens and a handful of goats. None for me now that the pigs are in the freezer. I want to do a couple small watercolor paintings as last minute gifts for neighbors but I don't consider that work
Got myself a Christmas present: 4-dozen Z-caps. It’s a good start. I was going to build my own. But when I added up the cost and time involved, buying them ready to go made the most sense.
Father would bring in a few big ones occasionally. Take the backstraps out and chunk up to boil. Then chill and serve with cocktail sauce. Tasted like boiled sheephead with cocktail sauce.
So if you buy a ribeye roast to cook whole for a group is it better roasted with the bone in or trimmed off?
Bone in is the most common way.
Most good butchers around here will cut the rib plate off and then tie it back on. Always better flavor cooking with bone on...then just cut the strings and easy peasy bone off and ready to slice.
Some folks falsely believe that believing is a choice…whereas I know that you believe or you don’t and that we come to believe,and that it doesn’t fall within the realm of choice….for instance, you can not just say you believe so as to get yourself into heaven, God knows whether you really do believe or not…
Most big 'coon after a certain point are running the high banks, NOT the water's edge. That has been my personal experience.
Find a fence row that's overgrown, especially near a wooded area, and look inside, along the fence. Most will have a trail running along it. Want big 'coon ? Find denning area and food source and set the path between.
Remember reading something about "where your treasure is, is where your heart is." So it being Christmas morning I'll go with Harry Bailey's definition...
