Our friend group here....... food is always interesting. I'm on a carb limited diet (insulin dependent,) with the aforementioned issues. Side note: the gluten issue is decided atypical. It's not a digestive issue, it's a joint issue. A day after eating a slice of white bread, their joints...

Beef Wellington is on my list of want to try items.

Dinner for us is going to be something like a lobster alfredo w/ scratch pasta, with a green salad on the side. We're hosting a New Year's dinner with some friends. Smoked rib roast with a mashed potato casserole (a riff on Giada de Laurentis' decadent mashed potato casserole,) Ree...

The plumbing name for this male to female 90 degree elbow is a "street ell".

Western and northern MN are rather unpleasant at the moment, and this morning in southeastern MN, the roads weren't particularly pleasant. I had a tire appointment this morning, and had a slow drive on the highway, including a few miles behind the salt trucks. The ramp.... very slick. The guy...
