Good 45º morning. Still dark out there. Can't see what is in store. Yesterday it was quite foggy....
Then by afternoon we had high wispy clouds.....
.....and then a nice sunset....
I cleaned kitchen cupboards like a mad woman yesterday. Felt good. Got rid of a lot of stuff! I still don't need to go grocery shopping, except for wine, milk, and lettuce, for a long time! Then Maggs and I took the trash out to the road to the trash can... The turkeys were standing in the backyard watching us...
I also got the corner of the 'shed'port nailed down...
.... and figured out how to pull out the pins holding the thingys (a type of black PVC with holes in it to prevent debris from entering the gutter, and letting the rain fall through) so I can clean them out. Been a while! ... And I figured out the new smoker will need blocks under the back side since I'm not putting on the wheels. I want it stationary on the cement blocks. Yet, another project.
You realize that Halloween is just one week away, don't you? And do you know what I find to be the scariest about Halloween? There will only be 54 more shopping days left until Christmas. (Doncha just love this cat's face!)
This is FUN to watch.... an owl landing on a camera in slow mo...
Thanks Sally.

Dinner was finally here. I cooked an artichoke with lemon juice, infused olive oil, garlic powder, seasoned pepper, and sea salt...
I made a dipping sauce with sweet hot chili and BF mayo.
Then it was time for Mr. Lobster Tail....
Cut the shell down the back and pull out the meat and put it on top of the shell.....
Boil some butter in the micro or a pan, skim off the clarified butter from the solids. Brush the lobster with the clarified butter and sprinkle on paprika.
I was in Heaven! I was so benevolent I even let Harley have a few pieces of the lobster and he got to lick the bowl, butter and all!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Monday. Ciao.

National Bologna Day
Jerry would get a "horsecock" of bologna from the butcher. Now they are called 'chubs' and he'd put it in the smoker. Sliced it made awesome sandwiches!
This guy grills his.....

OMG! That lobster looked delicious. I am so drooling. Are you going to try and smoke some bologna in your spiffy new smoker? Sounds pretty good. I am fixated on the food today! Great blog. xoxo Jeannie
My new favorite way to cook artichokes is to cook as normal, maybe a tad undercooked. Drain well and cut in half. I de- choke them, brush with garlic infused evoo nd sprinkle heavily with seasoned salt and fresh ground pepper. Grill till browned and smoky tasting............yummy. Del
@ Del, sounds good. May try that soon.
@ Jeannie, glad you are drooling. That was the point!!! LOL. I may smoke some boloney ... It's certainly good that way. Or, I may do like the guy on the blog did and grill some. Thanks kiddo. Er, OW-WAP!~
See ya later... OW-WOP, DR, GM.
Oh Sue,
I am still laughing about the horsecock! Yea I knew it used to be called that but had forgotten! hmmmmm wonder who thought up that name!!!
OMG!!! What a delectable dinner you had!! Oh wonderful! John, Kev and Deb are going out on a boat to fish for lobster soon.(Set traps I guess. Don't know how that works) He tells us that we will have to cook them right away. Well THEY will have to because I want no part of it.:(
I have never tried artichokes with mayo as a dip. Always butter. Will have to try it sometime. I can just eat them with no dip as they are so yummy.
Good blog and loved the photos!!
