Well isn't that a thing of beauty and you can even cook on it. You must have had a wonderful day unpacking ALL those "goodies". BTW, whatever you cook on it you will find that the taste has moved up a level too.

Thanks, dstr, I have had them since the sun room was built and they have lost all of the colour but I still like them too.:)

Jon, what an interesting story you had to tell.

Thanks, Steve. That snow so light and fluffy. [emoji4]

That will teach you to not leave the room when food looks that gooooooooooood. The pork strips look delicious also. Lovely colour on both cooks.

An easy dinner today, OctoForks pork loin leftovers, mac & cheese leftovers and some veggies.:)

Thanks, CC, rub it in.

WOW.

Aussie, I've never seen those in stores here, it sure looks delicious and the outside is perfectly coloured.

Well, what more can I say. It was such a beautiful surprise to wake up to this- Nice white light and fluffy. Enough to get the snow blower fired up. All of a sudden I noticed a bright white light and wonder what is that doing there, then realized it was the sun. Thanks, Tony for brightening things up.

My half chicken is officially finished. Made 4 bottles of stock and a hot chicken sandwich.

CC, is back, Thanks.

A hotdog is a hotdog is a hotdog.:)

Exactly, options are important.

Tony, a slicer would be good for breakfast bacon, Canadian bacon any thing you'd like to slice. I have mine in the basement, no room on my counter. They do take up lots of room.

Bruce. how long do you think you might be keeping your bacon?

I am making stock with the bones from my chicken spin as I write. Aussie, don't forget to save those bone. [emoji4]

That was a tough row to hoe, CC and I am sure your work and compassion was much appreciate. It is great that you are back and looking forward to burning a lot of lump.:)

Holy smokes! So far I've only checked out this link, can't wait to read the others.

Bruce, I've never kept it long enough that it went bad but it will last for months that is for sure and if you vacuum seal it it will keep the longest.

Thanks, tinyfish. I sure hope so, last night's storm was kind of a bust, most of the snow melted thank goodness. I just heard that you are pretty much in the middle of winter yourself. I think you were hit harder than we were.:(

Thanks, EGGARY, I have an electric meat slice just like you'd see in the meat depart. of a grocery store. No I didn't freeze it first, just set it in the fridge to get nice and cold and then it slices fine. After slicing I package it up and then freeze it.

Keith OctoForks, that looks like a lovely cook. It is amazingly moist.[emoji38] Nice that you used ketchup on the potatoes.🙂[emoji7][emoji1] You have class.[emoji4]

Aussie, a tasty dinner on that plate.
