Thanks AWF, I consider my self a piddler in stained glass. I really enjoyed making these for our grandchildren, I hope one day they can look back and tell their children, your greatStepaw made this for me!!!! I also enjoy just making things for Our POLICE OFFICERS, FIREFIGHTERS and our VETERANS!!!! Just hoping I can make some more!!!! I always say, a picture of stained glass does no justice to seeing it in person!!!!
AWF, if you like Trout fishing, you would love this place! We fish right on the confluence of the whiter and Norfork Rivers, depending on what the guides, it's either the White or the Norfork and most trips it's both. I think it's Bull Shoals is where the Norfork River starts. I often watch videos from there just to look at the places where I have fished. Just wanted to add this, my largest Brown was a 20" and the largest Rainbow was a 19", I caught both of them on an ultra-light, with 4 lb. test line, talking about a fight in swift water!!!!!
@wildcatdonf and I dined at Ted's restaurant (Montana Grill) back about 5 years ago. Pretty good food.
That is one food I always pass on. Both of my kids like them but I don't.Thank God I am a Southern Boy. Nothing beats a good peanut boil. It is and has been a staple at my house since I was born. It may be the easiest thing in the world to cook, next to boiling an egg.
PER POUND, but we do a lot more than a pound.
Let them cook for 2 or 3 hours
- 1 pound of raw "green" peanuts (not the color green, but fresh raw peanuts which are called green peanuts)
- 2-3 Tbsp table salt
- 4 cups water
If you want to spice it up you can add hot peppers and other seasonings that suit your taste. I like mine boiling hot but I have heard some people prefer them cold. Let's do it.
Yeah, there's a Ted's Montana Grill just a few miles from me in Gaithersburg, Maryland. In happier, non-Covid times, my wife and I would go there a few times a year, mostly in the summer. I agree, the food is pretty good.
WE WANT SILK!
I just picked up they key to my buddies place in Burkesville.....on the bank of the Cumberland river.......I plan on knowing that section of the river very well by spring......when I lived in NC the state would come and put a net of rainbow trout in the streams coming down out of the mountian.......they would stop where ever there was a drive or culvert and dump them in........the idea I think......was that some would end up in Cane Rive which ran along 19/25....in Yancey county.........fun times.......
My foster grandpa used to tell me that when you saw snow lying on a bank like that, it is waiting for another snow.....BUT.......I spotted several flocks of Sandhill Cranes flying north.....a couple hundred birds in each flock......they don't lie......
Have fun and good luck with the fishing, you’ll be in my neck of the woods. Used to spend a lot of time on the river. Not a trout fisherman myself, but have caught a few fishing for white bass, mostly downstream from there though. But I think from the dam to Burkesville is the best for trout from what I understand.
Had a huge flock resting in our field yesterday.
They sell cow manure in bags? I seriously didn’t know that. I could have been rich by now.
AWF, my best friend, his family is from Franklin NC I think, He tells me all the time about when they lived there how they would go up in the mountains and camp for two weeks Trout fishing all those small streams.
When I lived in Atlanta we'd go up to the Smokies (G'burg, W. Carolina) 2,3,4 times a year. I saw them stocking the streams many times. Camped one time in a campground outside Cherokee that had a private pond in it that was fed by a mountain stream that ran past the campground. It was full of trout.
Not sure about this week, but last week around here it was $2.79.
Agreed. Building material prices are 100%-300% higher than this time last year. 10-year T-Note currently yielding 1.5% and has been on a tear this month.
3 of them are gifts, in the summer time I go thru a bunch metal detecting!!!
mine are in baggies...thrown up in a cabinet.....
HA,
We have two refrigerators and one upright freezer (Small sized). (Just me and the wife now and the daughters and grand kids come over regularly. Think my darling doesn't cook. It is cool for me now as I FINALLY got my portions cut down to where I am not eating stupid but my darling can cook. I eat so well... Two nights ago my wife made the larger
Kind of Yaki Mandu like these (I took this picture off the internet) BUT much nicer, larger, and more evenly cooked using the larger Goya pastrie skins.. (My wife froze some of them and I forgot to take a picture but I may ask her to make those again for supper today and I will take a picture and post them. (Even put some grated sharp cheddar cheese in them as an experiment. Tasted good but I liked the original recipe.
Also made some steamed sort of like these but much nicer and the taste, oh the taste...
I'd rather eat steamed any day but the fried are good too..
Oh, I pray your day is filled with joy and gladness too. Happiness is fleeting but true Joy springs eternal. God Bless you and may your joy be that eternal kind of joy. If any has any update on Sir brother Ben please post, I think he stated he'd post again today if able. I DO hope he is able...
There was a trout farm in Honeycutt which wasn't far from where we lived.....you could fish his ponds for $1 a lb for what you caught.......I had to learn how to "not catch" small ones...........take them straight to the house and fry them up........they would be in the pan in less than an hour.........best fish in the world........
$18 for a six pack of Charmin bathroom tissue........pay a bidet off in a year.....bacon in the stores $5 lb and they are selling them "slaughter ready" in Iowa.......50 cents a pound.......my buddy bought two......I'm glad I am not on a budget........times is going to get rough for some folks......
On our trips, if there is a new person that is on it, then we have a shore lunch, the guides pick out the ones they want to fry up. When we get to where everything is set up, they have these 10-12" skillets ready. Guides are in the boats, cleaning fish, then straight to the skillets. We have Trout, fried taters, baked beans, fried pork tenderloin, desserts and drinks!!!!!
although......squab is very delicious......FWIW.....pigeons will forage their own food if necessary and provide some tasty eating.....little or no cost.....
I have never did the guide thing..............do they let you nap after you eat........
