Wow I think I just gained 10 lbs! Sounds like a great time.

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

Nah, it just feels like it!
And, thanks John, it was a wonderful, quiet, vacation.
Five planes and a dozen loud vehicles (plus motorcycles) since we got back, two hours and its just Monday evening.
Those are two different bottles of Makers Mark, the first one was a bit nicer to my taste. Maybe because it was the beginning?

 

[DanHoo]

Looks like a fun time and delicious food.

The makers 86 looks pretty good too

 

[LMichaels]

Looks like a great time and good food

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

Bothe of the bottles were Makers Mark, one was the “46” cask strength, the second was straight ”Cask strength”
both good.
I went about five degrees too high on the beef, thats not an issue with my wife or DIL much. The grand Children gave me the best compliment on the whole week.
DIL- “Do you guys want to eat at XXXXX tonight?”
Granddaughter- “I’d rather eat here, grandpa cooks better!”

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

OK now the thing I successfully avoided all week until the last morning…
I thought about it a couple of times, “Maybe I need an orange coffee cup…nah, I’ll be fine…!” Just once and, no ash contaminated the coffee but, it could have been worse.

Beautiful cooks, as always! I'm glad your family had a great time! thanks for sharing.

 

[Rich Dahl]

That had to be a fun time as it all looks great.
Thanks for sharing.

46 For the win!

Looks like a great time, my next vacation will be my last, early November and I will be retiring mid November I hope if nothing happens.

 

[LMichaels]

Even retired you can still have vacations

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

Even retired you can still have vacations

Yep! I’m retired and take vacations as often as I can!

 

[LMichaels]

Many times I say I need to get a job again so I can get some rest

 

[Peter Gallagher]

This was how last nights dinner turned out(sorry for the pun. The chicken was really good! Tarragon, lemon, half a lemon, half an orange, half a head of garlic.
Mac and cheese got just a touch “toasty”

Cobbler!

Fresh sweet corn!
