Another one just passed away from the Coronavirus, Ellis Louis Marsalis Jr. New Orleans legend, teacher, and father of Wynton, Branford, Delfeayo, Jason, Ellis III, and Mboya.

My daughter's remote live Spanish class was canceled yesterday because her teacher apparently has it. Well, the doctors told her that's what it is, but she does not meet the requirements to actually be tested. They think she caught it from her daughter who is also a student at the school.

Had this (well they called it Mexican Street Corn) at a restaurant in Orlando last year during a team dinner (daughter's volleyball team was in a tournament down there) and it was absolutely amazing. I have come close, but have not yet been able to duplicate it at home. I'm not sure but I...

As a saxophone player I feel I have to... Passed away a few days ago after contracting the coronavirus.

Our state went essential businesses only this week. I'm set up with remote operation of my pc in the office and with that and the telephone, I really am able to do everything I can in the office. In fact, I've gotten more done each day than I normally do. I even set up my work station out on...

I've just been turning my vortex upside down (wide end up) on a disposable foil round pie pan filled with water. I put the briquettes around the outside of that. This weekend because it was cold and I was concerned about keeping the temps up, I had two breaks in the snake, so there were two...

Made some faux burnt ends and smoked a pork shoulder Saturday in a bit of snow (just a bit, but it was colder than it should have been).

I'm a little concerned about availability of food and supplies because of folks hoarding and the potential for stores to just shut down. But I'm more concerned about what happens if Comcast can't keep our internet up and running through this. My wife is now working from home, I have three...

Several universities in Indiana have delayed return from spring break, at a minimum. My oldest daughter's university is delaying return from spring break for three days and making all classes virtual until at least April 4. She's not sure how the labs are going to work. Their conference (Big...

Our local Meijer store had some small bags of Kingsford Pecan, Applewood, and long burn sitting on the clearance table for 50% off last week. I grabbed a few of those, but need more KBB as I'm on my last bag.

In addition to streaming videos and music, we also have a camera doorbell that uploads to the cloud and so I tend to watch our data usage closely. We are typically close, but not dangerously so, of hitting our cap. For some reason in February, we went way over and I was looking yesterday at...

That's what I do as well.

Wow, that grill buries the competition.

Made it, thank you very much for the efforts

I made drumsticks last night as part of the spread for the game using the vortex. One of my daughters, not used to chicken with skin on it that isn't Kentucky Fried Chicken, saw the crisp skin and said "wow Dad, your chicken sure looks dry". And then proceeded to take a bite only to have the...

Some of my favorites from childhood are Tom Slick, Milton the Monster, and Super Chicken. Whenever my kids say anything that even remotely sounds like something from one of those shows, I'll immediately quote the line that they reminded me of, and then start singing the theme song from...

I always try to pass on some wisdom I've learned over the years to young guys about to get married. Once you're married, your opinion doesn't matter any more. Once you have kids, your opinion isn't solicited any more. You remember those two things and get comfortable with it, you'll have a...

I'm a Colts fan (for American football; Everton for futbol...Go Toffees!) and as far as other teams go, I have a couple I typically cheer against (3 guesses as to one of those), but none other that I really like except maybe Seattle. For this one, I'm leaning toward the Chiefs mainly because of...

Yes, it's a spiced tea with frothed milk, she gets hers hot, though they also sell it iced. It's actually pretty good.

I have/had a vertical electric smoker, and for starting out with no experience, I liked it. However, each year as I learned more and more about how things can be done, I became more and more disappointed in it. It may have just been my particular one, but while it cooked well low and slow, I...
