2 coffee makers only 5 cup models, I have two for family gettogethers mostly, Some love coffee but don't like or can't have caffeine

[RobsanX]

Coffee makers be damned, I want that butcher block!

[Bigblue1]

If it's any consolation Rob, I don't cut on that top very often. I just can't bring myself to cut on that, it's more a nice expensive piece of furniture. I have Composite boards for meat, fish, and poultry. And a good wood board for veg prep. After I upgrade my knives I will be looking at one of these bad boys Boos cherry wood end grain cutting board Or I will just cut on top of the one I have....... It's 6-7 yrs old now so I'm a little more relaxed about it..... We'll see. Once I get My set of bad ass knives built I may just want to cut on everything.....

[RobsanX]

That's like owning a Corvette and never driving it! After talking to several knife enthusiasts and professionals the consensus is that end grain wood is the best for keeping your knives sharp. If your board gets too dinged up, you can always sand it down too.

Eggplant Parmesan, and a baguette...

[Bigblue1]

Looks good Rob! Is that a home made baguette?

No Blue, they have fresh par-baked baguettes at the grocery store that I buy, then cook them in the toaster oven. They are pretty good.

Tonight I made lamb gyros with tzatziki sauce, and a rice pilaf...

[Bigblue1]

Man, I made buttermilk marinated pork chops, grilled farmstand corn, and baked potatoes a couple nights ago and forgot to preserve the memory. anyway just finished the left overs and still so good.,,,,,

I'm throwing some N. American antelope and elk that my buddy shot in Montana on the Weber tonight. And eating cured salmon that he caught in Alaska as an appetizer. He's bringing the goods. And my girl is making these zucchini fritter-type things she came across on some recipe site recently. They are delicious with a dollop of sour cream. Alright work is over, I'm going to go home and do that right mother****ing now.

Damn Roo, that sounds super-Roo-rific!!!

My girl put a bunch of chicken, mushrooms, onion, and other shit in a crockpot this morning. The house smells great. I gonna get that soon...

Update: The chicken is over cooked even though the croc was at low 10hrs and it only went for like 6 hrs. So we are going to smother the chicken with gravy

Grilled pork sirloin chop, red potatoes and green beans seasoned with bacon, and a baguette...

[Bigblue1]

again I am way more concerned about my photos than my food, but here goes....... smoked bone in pork loin for your pleasure...... The left side is the loin cut and the right is the blade cut......... each smoked for about 3 hours a piece in my cheap brinkman smoker. Done till it was about 140 deg. Here is a blade cut plated with mas taters, black beans and ciobatta bread.
and a fat salad..... with fat bacon on top,,,, you can never have enough pork,,, let alone bacon.....

You know you want it.........

Well done Blue, well done!
