Official Shootin' the Breeze Thread

I figured I would start the PHP bs'n thread. You know, to say good morning or good night, what your havin' for dinner, or just whatever.

I just finished a late snack of leftovers. Pork, sour kraut, and a small piece of country sausage. My father-in-law made this stuff for New Years Day dinner. He cooked a boneless piece of pork for 13hrs and this stuff just falls apart mmm mmm good

Now I'm ready to go to bed

A shoot the $hit thread! I love it!

Your snack sounds awesome. Bill is in Utah, so cooking is out for the week. I love to cook, mind you (in fact, the majority of my Christmas gifts were for the kitchen!) -- it's just that I'm holding down the proverbial fort and am chained to my desk.

Our 7-year old, Liam, put on his new apron (customized X-mas present that says "Mom's Helper") this evening and started water boiling on the stove. Then I supervised as he poured in the pasta and stirred it. I pretty much took over after that, but he was very excited to be "making dinner" for the very first time.

Wil, our 9-year old, made me help him remove a very loose tooth tonight. (I tried to talk him out of me helping!

) That's Daddy's job! It was totally disgusting -- not the blood, but the overall sickening *POP* it makes.

But I did it, and he's very excited.

Overall, we've had a great day. Life is good.

Washed my truck again today. Man, that thing is BIG!

Why can't they make a tiny truck, with huge cargo capacity and enormous pulling power?

Who knows, if Liam doesn't become the next performance guru like his dad, maybe he'll be the next Emril

NS, I just found out this week where in Canada you live. How do you do it? You might as well be Santa's neighbor!

And here I am complaining about 50 degrees...
