Hmmmm not too cold by Gary's standards but an overnight temp of 2C is bluefish cold for me. I might need a holiday in a warmer spot

It was 26C here!

Nice, we just had a big family dinner, the kind we don't really do so much anymore.  We had bbq chicken (legs & thighs) and a tri tip roast all broiled in the over.  The chicken turned out better than the tri tip, gotta figure out a better marinade for next time.  Potato salad, all kinds of veggies and fruit.  Good stuff.  

Then we had a great time playing embarrassing my 13-year-old nephew, he just had the lead in his schools spring musical and most of us couldn't make it cause we were working and stuff.  So his dad had the recording on his phone and we watched him sing his big solo part.  Literally no body in my family had heard him before the show, I can't even tell you how blown away by how good he did.  Had no idea the kid could sing like that.  

That's awesome!

Hi Albert!  Hope you and Steve are off to a great start this morning.  Before you ask, I didn't make the beef bourguignon yet.  The beef didn't thaw in time, and I had already started navy beans to make ham and bean soup.  So that's what I made today.  I made a big batch and am freezing several baggies full to have as a quick meals this month. Tomorrow I'll get to the beef. 🤗

Sounds good to me

The best part about it is he wouldn't stay in the room while we watched the video.  It was too embarrassing apparently.  I was like dude you did that in a room full of strangers, and other middle school kids (who everybody knows are horrible humans), but your family watching is too much?  

 

Freaking teenagers are so weird.

Middle school kids might be more devilish than Drew and Clo combined but the family’s opinion matters more. It would be more scary

My Mum made delicious pea and ham soup but I have never heard of ham and bean soup. Freezing bulk meals is always a great idea. I used to use a huge ice block mold for bolognese sauce

Hi there Terry

How did the soup taste?

I love pea and ham soup.  Lentil soup is also very good.  All three are made about the same way with most of the same spices.  Ham and bean soup uses either small white beans or navy beans.  Most of the seasonings are the same.  I use either a smoked ham hock or left over ham (when I was in the states). All three are favorite cold weather meals for me with garlic bread and garden salad.

I like the block mold idea for bolognese sauce. Thanks for the idea. Spaghetti is a very popular western food in Thailand.

Hi Gary! 

Here's one just for you!

Happy Monday, all.
