I suppose when your dogs started liking us more we'd be in real trouble.  At least that would be my limit.

Well Fudgie (aka "Cujo") hates everyone except me so that won't happen. I could pick up spare body parts though as she takes them off of folks and put them in the freezer for future reattachment. Ruby would give any would be thief the keys to everything we own if you pet her, so ya, that could be a problem. And if you feed her lamb fat, she's a friend for life. Sends you a Christmas card.

And for those in the area, it appears that the fish traps will be going in soon on pike bay of Lake Vermilion, and that means suckers cheap and fresh.

Del-  did you use that 25# bag of rice to make rice wine and hit it hard tonight?  I thought Dotch lived about 300 plus mile from Lake Vermillion?  Maybe I'm wrong.  I don't need the GPS coordinates but in my mind Dotch lived somewhere between me and Iowa.

Not Dotch especially.  Back a while I recall folks talking about making fish cakes from suckers or eating suckers or pickling them or smoming them or making sucker jerky, something.  So when I saw in the Vermilion forum that time was getting close to when the sportsman's club (soon to have a new name) of lake Vermilion would be selling suckers caught in the traps as a byproduct of catching walleye at the hatchery, I let you guys know.  

And by "in the area" I was thinking in the Vermilion area, not the Rochester area.  sorry for any confusion.  

I think they charge about a dime a pound and it's 100 pound limit per customer.  Bring your cooler.  They get about 10,000 pounds per year, all over in a couple weeks.  When the hatchery has its supply of walleye eggs, it's over.

I wanted a quick and easy dinner, so I threw together a salad with everything, and had picked up some boneless pork loins. Wanted something different, so I sprinkled them with my Cajun pork rub, and slopped some Sweet and sour glaze on them I had picked up the other day for the chinee food I had. Threw 'em in my little toaster oven at 350* for 30 mns, then pulled 'em, right at 160*. Let them rest under foil to let the glaze "set up" a bit. They were great. I found something new I love...that sweet and sour glaze. Tasted like sweet plums. YUM!  I foresee a dipping sauce for hot wings...or sweet and sour wings...or BBQ'd sweet and sour wings...or....or....hmmm.....

@Rick G.   Thx for the flavor!

With all the beef talk go in round, I wanted to play too. This is a rolled sirloin tip from the 1/4 we picked up a while back.

Maybe next time... Fire up the smoky mountain.   Got a turkey me at cub, might give that a shot.

What's that sinus rinse thingy doing there?  Smomed eggs are bomb! 

[eyeguy 54]

I see damage!!!   not good!!!  lol  

[leechlake]

Del- haven't you learned.  Guys like Dotch and I...and many others...first look at background stuff before the main subject in photos.  Months ago I tried busting your chops about an answering machine but you ended up saying it was a Bearcat Scanner and CB combo or something.

I learned my lesson once when I left a Magnum Condom sitting on the counter when I was taking a photo of some pickled beets I was working on and it ended up in the background.  It's embarrassing, I know.

[delcecchi]

The neti thing.... it's a long story.  I got sick last spring and ended up with the cough to end all coughs.  I survived, barely, a canoe trip and ended up a few weeks later at st lukes in duluth for observation, not in the mental unit, by way of the cook emergency room from a hematoma in my rectus abdominus (the area that would be my 6 pack if I had a 6pack). Just imagine bleeding a quart into the interior of your abs...   Anyway, after a few tries with the Mayo folks I ended up with an inhaler and some nose spray that actually helped, finally.  Before using the nose spray I have to wash out my sinuses with some saline in that squeeze bottle. 

I could probably stop one of these days, but after what I went through, I am sort of hesitant.

And that is why it is in the background...   Maybe next time I'll put something else in to see who is watching.   Hmm,  maybe a vintage butcher knife by case for RH.  A colt revolver for reb, a bottle of bourbon for boar,  I'll have to see what I can come up with.  Maybe a bottle of oxycodone for you guys with the aches and pains. 

 

[Dotch]

The reason the sinus rinse bottle caught my eye del is that I have one just like it.  I've used it occasionally with the saline rinse when I get nasty sinus headaches; sometimes with success, sometimes not. Its use seems to correspond to certain times of the year when certain plants that are shedding pollen prolifically. Haven't been officially diagnosed but I think I might help narrow their search in a hurry based on my observations. 

There is potentially all kinds of stuff around here that jumps out at people in pics particularly if they're familiar with livestock operations. I try to be careful but sometimes they slip through. Guys like LL commenting on some of it make it that much more hilarious. And sometimes as you say, it's fun to stick stuff in the pics just to mess with 'em. 

[delcecchi]

I use something the mayo pharmacy puts together, called a mid kit, after washing nose out.  It is a combo of three things that get mixed with saline in a tiny spray bottle.

Lovely , bobber, just lovely.  I love yer setups. You definitely know where the boar went poo in the buckwheat when smoming/grilling.  Is there a pooch hiding in there somewhere? O wait, he's going after the beers, right?    Uh, what kind of grill is that?

 

 

 

Those hardboiled eggs looks like they have had severe acne and need dermabrasion.

 

[leechlake]

Hijack Alert called on Reb.  We were discussing Sinus remedies at this point.  I figured after that the food and drink thread was over...unless someone was trying to salvage it.

[RebelSS]

But, but, ya can't SMELL the smoming unless yer nozzle is clear....... So it's technically a faux hijack.

I wussed out on making the portobello bacon Swiss lamburgers tonight. Too pooed but decided to work ahead in the count for tomorrow night. Played with the Weber burger press (or smasher otherwise known as my black thingy). Somehow Mrs. Cheviot was distracted by some trashy drugstore novel. Was somewhat disappointed with the burger press. Burgers wanted to stick in it even when using copious amounts of non stick spray. Now, I did not have olive oil non stick spray like the video showed and the burger was cold, just barely thawed. Also, lamb fat behaves a little differently than beef fat. Seems to be solid at a higher temperature so getting it a little warmer before using the press may be helpful. After getting it out of the press, I had to play patty cake anyway. My initial impression: One more thing to fart around with and get dirty. I may try it again with the olive oil spray and allow the burger to warm more. Oh well, in the meantime, the patties are made, seasoned and ready to rock for mañana.

Our diet meal last nigh.  Tough to post after all the goodies posted on here but it was actually good.  I'ts my diet version of 40 clove garlic chicken.  Doing good on the weight loss so far.  I think I will cheat this weekend for a one day binge.  My wife is staying strong though but when I ask her what she want's me to make,  she doesn't seem as exited like when we started.  good luck.

 

 

Chicken breasts are buried under low sodium not fat chicken broth and dry white wine along with large cloves of garlic and parsley.

And my plate.  I added lot's of black pepper to the plate and had some fresh cucumber kimchi on the side [not in pic].  good luck.
