Beautiful! I’m gonna bookmark that page.

You and my brother would get along well. He’s a divorcee, if that’s what’s you call anyone these days. Bachelor? Kinda sorta.

He’s young enough to wish for love again, and old enough not to care.

Anyway, one time a few years ago, he remarked that my hubby obviously wasn’t a bachelor anymore, and by that he meant, hubby didn’t use one pan to cook a meal in. More than one pan to cook in meant more than one pan to clean. We learned a lot from that trip. I use a lot of pots and pans, and I don’t mind cleaning them all up afterwards.

The recipe and the website look great! I will keep my eye on that! Thx!

Speaking of my slightly older brother, he’s coming to Indy next week on business (downtown conference). They’re not staying with us this time, as he wants receipts to turn in for him and his right hand man. We will be seeing them, though. Either where they’re staying or for a meal back here. We will see what those Florida boys are up for. 😍

He and I just had a fun text conversation about how cold it is here (single digits to sub-zero windchills) , and how warm it is there (30 for the low, mid 50’s for the high). He can’t believe I went outside to check the mail today with it only being ~ 5 degrees.

See?!!

I’m not making this stuff up! After 30 + years, I am just now getting used to these temps!

My brother is so funny. Great sense of humor. He was my hero as a kid. We are just 16 months apart. I tagged along until he wouldn’t let me anymore. God bless Mama and Daddy for not stopping at 4 or 5 kids.

Chef Andrew Gruel is a somewhat popular conservative restaurant owner from Cali. Was a judge on some food network show. Wrote a cookbook or two. He’s a regular on the Greg Gutfeld show. He and his wife have a show on youtube, American Gravy irrc but they tend to be rushed and don’t have the written ingredients list. Lately he’s been focused on budget friendly cooking with basic ingredients and teaching techniques.

Yesterday afternoon at 18 degrees, little to no wind and sunny felt pretty nice.
