Hope you feel better Rico.

Well, the antibiotics seem to be kicking in.  I wouldn't go as far as saying that I feel good.  But I'm at least feeling somewhat human again.  Hopefully a couple of more days...

I'm just itching to get out and enjoy this lovely weather, it's 37 and raining this morning.

Dorothy...we're not in Florida anymore.

Feel better soon, Rico.

And, hey everybody.  I'm still alive. Just really, really busy. 
I guess I picked a good year to be out of touch with the Jags and the board. 
Hope everyone is hanging in there OK.

Well there goes my jail theory.

Hey, NYC!

So I was looking at my prescription for the antibiotics. It says to take on an empty stomach. But is your stomach ever truly empty? Does that mean I can't ever take them?

That's kind of odd.  Normally when I have had to take antibiotics it says to take with food.  I made the mistake of not doing so... once.

Yeah, I thought it was odd.  But it does say take at least an hour before meals (not really an empty stomach) but the doctor said it's not really a big deal if I don't.

But bottom line, thank goodness these things are starting to do their job.  I think I'll be fine in a couple of days.  I'm targeting Thursday.

Glad to hear that.  Judging from your past posts this whole "procedure" has definitely not been pleasant.  I hope you feel better soon.

I’m a redneck living in a subdivision. I’ve got a fire going in the fire pit on my patio. I used oak. Never cooked a steak on an oak fire before. But, these ribeyes will either taste great or suck. Either way, my family and I are having fun. Back on to my search for land.

Fun fact: these steaks actually turned out amazing. Even the wife was talking them up. I really didn’t expect that. They were great. I truly thought I wasted 30 bucks.

I usually use hickory.   Mesquite gives a great flavor and I've got a friend who swears by apple.  Never tried oak before.

I usually cook with whatever they make pallets out of. 

I saw this elsewhere....

I cut up and split a Hickory tree a few weeks ago.  It's perfect for cooking.

With that being said, my wife is cooking steak tonight on (sigh) a gas grill.

Taste the meat, not the heat

Gas grills are an abomination.

All I had was oak.   I wish I had a stockpile of other woods.  But they were surprisingly good.  Probably the best steak I had in a Long while.  Plus using the coals from a real fire, no grill, made it that much more enjoyable.   I can’t do the gas.  It’s great for those that want to get going fast, get it cooked and move on.  Seasonings, rubs and marinades are especially crucial when cooking on gas, IMO.  I like the flavor you can add using fire.  Be it my Webber, big green egg or a fire.  You can use any of those methods and not add “smoke”.  These steaks happened to have it.  I need to get some hickory apple and cherry wood so I can do more of what I did with a wider variety of meats.  I find mesquite to be a bit too much for my taste.

I saw a pressure washing sign in a yard today. A sign like a roofer or pool company would put in the yard. Let’s just say, I’d be embarrassed if I pressure washed that driveway and put my name on it.
