I just want to smell your house all day on bread baking day!

You have never been geographically closer to @Mikiesboy than you are right now.

You could easily turn that wish into a reality.

And then go out and have coffee and donuts.

Or stay in and sample his baked treats.

Just saying.

Yeah... we are a lot closer now, but I know how much the guys value their privacy. I would need to be vetted by @MichaelS36. I might be able to pass. 🤷‍♀️

Omg... I had to look it up.

In J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, Balrogs are demonic, fire-wielding monsters and Maiar, angelic beings corrupted by Morgoth. They are tall, menacing, and can shroud themselves in shadow and flame. Balrogs are armed with fiery whips and sometimes use long swords. 

 

REALLY??????

Was the source of your distraction a 4 legged one with a tail? Or was it two?  They do have a bit of a reputation for creating chaos...

Yours, if you haven't read or watched Lord of the Rings.   It was a great gag and now it's spoiled. LOL

You don't have to be a geek. You just need to be a fan of excellent writing, big amazing adventures, and some great characters.  In the case of the film, excellent adaptation of the books and some great actors. 

We watch it every year. i love it.  i've read the books several times too. 

[Mikiesboy]

Time to head to the kitchen...see you later.

So, to (possibly) torture Gary.. i did pork tenderloin, with dry rub i make with brown sugar, paprika, garlic and onion powder and bit of seasoned salt.  Then had some rice and 1/2 a pepper stuffed with sauteed carrot and onion, air fried cauliflower, zucchini and yellow summer squash. 

it was all very yummy and satisfied the hungry men.

Now that I'm settled, I have taken over cooking duties. When we went to return the rental truck we went by a butcher/grocery store that has the best meats so of course we stopped on the way back. 

$200 later..... I got chicken thighs, boneless breasts, a sirloin roast, pork sausage, some large bags of frozen veggies, a huge bag of chicken nuggets for my son, some frozen dumplings that looked really good, salmon filets, cod filets and a couple of other things. 

Tonight I cooked all the chicken thighs, there's enough for at least 3 meals for four people and spaghetti. I had leftover homemade sauce from when I was here a couple if weeks ago. My spices were handy so the chicken was done half with smoked maple brown sugar rub and the other half with a honey garlic rub. 

Dinner was a hit and I have officially been granted a chefs hat and apron lol.

If I do, is there an initiation into the LOTR fan club? My kids would never tell me when I asked.

Why would I be on any side? A big reward can be mutually enjoyable and beneficial to both sides.

Just lock up the wienerdogs. LOL
