Cooking with gas!

-
Now I'm cookin' with gas!  Propane to be exact.  There's a brisket out on the patio being gently smoked as I type this.  It's for tomorrow, but the process is a slow one.  Brisket can be a little tough, so I'm gonna try something new this time:  Smoking it for a few hours, then put it on for a slow bake in the oven to finish it up.  

There are ribs and Amish rib rub from Indiana for tomorrow, too.  I love this particular rib rub and only use it for special occasions.  That's a long drive for rib rub.  Super Bowl Sunday is gonna be super spread Sunday at the house.  June wanted wings, so I have them ready to fry up for tomorrow.  When I'm done with this, I'm off to make some macaroni salad for tomorrow, too.  For some reason, things like that always seem to taste better after sitting for a while.

I wrote another blog today, about deja vu, but decided that was just for the archives.  I'm kinda curious about what's cookin, though.  I told June a couple of weeks ago that something was.  I just don't know what it is yet.  I suppose I'll find out when the time is right.  In the meantime, I'm cookin with gas up in here.

I like to cook.  I've really missed the kitchen.  I'm not good at cooking in a hurry, but when I have time, what comes out of the kitchen usually turns out pretty good.  I'm really understanding the idea of slow cooking.  I had to laugh last Sunday... a couple of the ladies at church asked me what I brought for the pot-luck.  I think they really liked the eclairs.  The riblets I made seemed to go over well, but I thought I cooked them a bit too long.  Next time, I'm gonna smoke a turkey.  

The game starts later on in the day.  Don't forget what's really important tomorrow. I hope your plans for the day include a visit to your church.  If you don't have one, please feel free to join us at eleven.

And part two....

What I've learned lately, I'm trying to apply to the oddest thing I've ever faced.  I mean that.  Over the years I've learned that when you lose, it's best to lose and walk away.  But this time, walking away seems to be not part of the plan.  It's like being forced to watch as the decision you made has consequences you could never imagine, and having to watch them as they play out. Running away isn't in the cards. I deserve that.  I mean that.  It's a blessing because it will keep me from being stupid tonight. And tomorrow.  It kept me from being stupid yesterday, etc... You get the idea. Whatever your opinion about where I'm at, where I'm at is where I am.  And this is what the Bible has to say:  Psalm 127 v1:  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. From Jeremiah 10:23...Lord I know that peoples' lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. From Proverbs  16:1  To huma...

At least I can laugh about it!

The papers say: DALE L COOPER IS NOT THE..... I had to laugh because it was my Maury moment.  I'm not making this up; they say it just like that in bold type and all capital letters, like they're shouting it from the rooftops! I wonder if all caps and bold type in legal documents have the same significance as capitalizing things in an e-mail. There's a story here about why God is always good and His timing is impeccable. I mentioned earlier I had to get a copy of my divorce decree for my employer so they can verify some information I provided to them.  That is gonna have to wait because I got some papers in the mail from the State of Utah who is stepping in to set aside a portion of my divorce decree so that it meets their needs.  They need to undo something that got done through no fault of my own. When I quit fighting the former(?) Mrs., it was this issue that I gave in on. So today, I get to send my employer the information I got in the mail and hopefully...

not that guy today!

As I drove up the circle the other day, I took a good look at my house and I decided I needed to change a few things. For far too long, I've been doing just what I needed to, to get by with keeping the lawn mowed and the garbage picked up, for the most part (except the mess in the back yard), but I saw some things I didn't like. For instance, one of my window screens fell out of the window.  Another was coming out of the frame.  I had a ladder out back I used to pick apricots.  That was in July.  My boat had a flat tire and was kind of starting to be a catch-all for this or that thing. No longer. The ladder is put away for the evening.  Tomorrow I have to get out the 20 footer to fix the other screen.  All of the junk is gone.  ALL of it.  I still have a couple of shelves to clean out and some cupboards to clean out and can do that this weekend.  But the non-working appliances, broken and disgusting furniture, and garbage is removed f...
