$6 for a piece of CI that's going to outlive you and then some. Beat it like a rented mule. ;) (No actual mules were harmed in the writing of this reply.)

Rio Bravo, 1959. John Wayne may have gotten top billing but Dean Martin was the real star. The scene where the blood drips into the beer is one of my all-time favorites.

Scrolling back and reading a number of pages, something struck me. Dogs can figure out how to get along with others way better than people can. ;)

And in the case of option #2, learning the difference between smoking and grilling.

I have no problem with having a plentiful supply of smoke wood, but I think I need to reconsider my source. The delivery system is questionable at best.

My younger daughter and her fiance recently visited Ireland, so I had 1 simple request: bring me something that can't be found here. She tried and she thought she did well, but a couple of days after they returned she texted me that she found both locally. It's the thought that counts.;)

And it defies gravity, too!

Have you tried a pet store?

Good to have you here, Lynn! We desperately need some new potato recipes. Not that I'm stereotyping or anything. ;)

For the record, I'm not a fan of boneless pork loin chops. To me they're the porcine equivalent of the BSCB, but they do have one redeeming quality: they stuff well. Seasoned the day before. Getting some salt into the meat is a must. After laying down some yellow mustard I added some smoked...

I eagerly await your review of the mushroom truffle burger.

Nice work x 2, James! Question: What does "Overall Reserve Grand Champion" mean? It sounds like you won but there's a "but" in there.

At your age you should be worrying less about the corner and more about the coroner.;)

If my last name was Geste and I had a daughter, I think I'd name her Shirlene Uma.

Nice color! Best part of the chicken right there - as versatile as a breast but with way more flavor!

There are a *lot* of us here who remember the heyday of the motel. When I was a kid we didn't travel much and when we did it was rare to have an overnight stay along the way, but I remember sitting in the back of the Ford station wagon and passing places like those featured in this blog...

One thing that hasn't been mentioned so far in the series is that it's not only the 100th birthday of Route 66, but also of the U.S. Numbered Highway System as a whole as well as any of the other highways that date to 1926. I have close connections to US-20 and US-51 and have pointed out the...
