I'm sort of wearing those tails out while I can. They'll go off Sale soon enough. Reef's Bistro

Nice looking ribs. Reef's Bistro

Great looking meal. Enchiladas is one cook I have not been successful with. I need to climb back on that horse and try again. Reef's Bistro

Great looking smash burgers. Definitely going to try the vinegar trick. Reef's Bistro

Great kitchen with all the toys. Thanks for showing us. Reef's Bistro

Very tasty looking. Reef's Bistro

Great looking jerk chicken. Interesting technique cooking on leaves. Reef's Bistro

Came out looking delicious. Should be a good party. Reef's Bistro

Looks like a great morning. Reef's Bistro

Friday night is quickly becoming pizza night. . Saturday night was stuffed scallops although they were stuffed with shrimp. Lobster risotto. . Sunday night was grouper, plank grilled then finished with a parmesan cheese crust and a lime Buerre Blanc Sauce. . A great weekend of fine meals. Had a really tough day Saturday with a huge yard project in 99* heat. I needed some good grilled food along with a nice cool Sunday morning motorcycle ride to get some breakfast. Reef's Bistro

That sucks but I don't do a lot of emails. Reef's Bistro

Not patience - a creative way to use the scraps from the pineapples we buy ;-l . And they are sort of kewl looking plants for the sitting garden. Reef's Bistro

Start with the ripest pineapple you can find (as yellow as possible). . Cut the top off. (I think you could do this without cutting the top off) . Hold both ends and twist in opposite directions until you have just the leafy top. . Peel leaves off one at a time going around the top until you have removed 3 or 4 rows. . Plant shallow in potting soil. Water generously and place in full sunlight. . This is one we started a couple of months ago. The leaves with brown tips are original growth. Lots of nice new leaves. It's growth is really starting to kick into high gear now that full summer is on us and I imagine the roots are starting to take hold. . This fall will have to bring them inside like house plants. Next spring will replant in a bigger pot and put back outside. . Middle of next summer I'll cut an apple in half and put it in the middle of the upper leaf area. Cover with plastic overnight. Next day remove plastic and apple. The chemicals emitted from the apple will trick the pineapple plant into thinking it's time to grow a pineapple. Hopefully by end of next summer I'll have homegrown Pineapples . Will occasionally update this thread as the months go by. There are more complicated methods for doing this but looking at the pictures from the one a couple of months old this simple method works just fine. Reef's Bistro

Great looking meal. I especially like the strawberry rhubarb thing. What kind of dough did you use for that? A pie crust or more of a pizza dough? Reef's Bistro

Nice looking lamb meal. Reef's Bistro

Good post. Interesting conclusions. I've tried the salt thing before. Even after a good rinse I found it to be too salty for my tastes. Reef's Bistro

That's what I was thinking too. Doesn't this solve a problem that already has a solution? A solution that doesn't allow air to bypass. Reef's Bistro

Who was nervous - I was just ready to get honeymoonin. Reef's Bistro

Definitely don't cancel. Not that big of a deal. Reef's Bistro

Basically yes but things screw together then you spin in the opposite direction of one of the screw in connections so it wants to unscrew. Happened to me one time, I used blue locktite and wrenched it together as tight as I could. Hasn't happened since. . Dennis has now come up with improved parts that go together with a cotter pin to permanently solve the problem. There is a thread on here showing the new improved parts. Reef's Bistro

Dennis has those smoke machines that plug into the Guru port coming. I asked him the other day - they are on the boat heading to LA. Won't be long now. Reef's Bistro

Great story, glad you're enjoying the time off. Reef's Bistro

You nailed that pizza and egg just right. Looks delicious. Great looking pictures all around. Reef's Bistro

You are definitely upping your game lately - no splinters for you. Reef's Bistro

That is a big motor. It's not going to hurt anything where the bracket mounts to the KK. It uses the same holes and bolts that the side table uses. The only issue is the weight of the motor warping the mounting bracket and that probably won't be an issue either. . Most people just remove the motor when not in use as it only takes a minute or two to remove or install the motor. Reef's Bistro
