… or, Emmy’s Best Thanksgiving Ever! We did the traditional turkey-and-trimmings dinner Saturday with both sets of parents. Again, we brined the turkey overnight, following the Good Eats recipe, and other than a small glitch with the thermometer placement, everything went very well. The turkey was nicely roasted, moist, and juicy. And that’s where the… Continue reading Liquid Turkey

Book Report
It’s been a while since I did one of these, so here’s your book progress update for the last couple of weeks, with the obligatory dog picture. This is probably the halfway point for the first draft, more or less.

I’ve gotten away from posting Japan pictures, but here’s what may be my favorite warning sign ever: In case you have trouble reading the text in the image:
Fraternity Weekend
Here’s the crew I spent this past Saturday morning with: The guys who are younger than I am are a bunch of students from the local chapter of Sigma Phi.

Ready for Her Close-Up
“Dude, what is your deal?” “What? I’m just taking a couple of pictures.” “A couple? You’ve taken, like, forty pictures of me already today. You’re cramping my style. I’m trying to go for a walk, here. I’ve got bushes to sniff, lawns to pee on, critters to chase– I don’t have time for photography.” “Sorry,… Continue reading Ready for Her Close-Up
