I'm still here

Are you all lost in the post-Valentine's Day bliss? I sure am. The wife bought me a Calphalon 2.5-quart saucepan that I'm excited to break out, and I bought her a tea pot from Villeroy & Boch. 

The Vert

We're taking next week off and I plan to be back with lots of photos and bbq war stories.  A week in East Hampton when there's no one around.  Ahhh....just what the doctor ordered.

I'm off to order up some wood for cooking. My co-pilot wants to try some new fruit woods out-- maybe pear or peach.  What do you all think?

I'm trying out People's Woods for the first time.  I'll let you know what we think.

You be good while we're away, ok?

Home, Sweet Home

From my new favorite site. I hope they don't mind me re-posting this here.

Overheard in NY


A black girl tries to squeeze past twin asian chicks and a little asian boy to get into the train.

Black girl: Do you mind?
Asian chick #1: Don't be rude, can't you go around us?
Black girl: I don't move around people; they move around me.
Asian chick #1: You're inside now, so please stop yelling at us.
Black girl: You are so rude! Is that how you talk to people in front of your child?
Asian chick #1: You know, I'm tired of listening to your crap. Talk to the hand.
Asian boy: Yeah, you talk too much. Talk to the hand!
