Yeah the description of women’s bodies seems to be a pretty common early series complaint. I am glad it got to be more infrequent as the series went on. It’s going to be a rough time waiting for the next one.

I did read Side Jobs after Changes so only 1 short story collection to go. I think I am going to give it a few months though before I read that. I want to hold onto my thoughts for how Battle Ground ended for some time.

Yeah to have this many books completed in the series spoiled me. Going to be hard to wait for the next book.

Make another small batch and don’t add garlic. Dilute it out :)

This is a new dish to me. Looks great! Going to have to do some research on where I can get it locally to try it out.

100% agree. Always do a little evaluation after a meal on what can be improved and this is pretty much exactly what I told the better half I needed to do.

Thank you. I used 2 different recipes and kind of picked and chose to make it my own. Here are the links.

Wow that looks great!

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

Absolutely!

Love a Loco Moco. Looks great.

So I loosely followed a couple recipes and combined them. One had the meat and veggies simmer in vegetable stock until it was just about gone and than add a little corn starch slurry to thicken it up and than I added maybe a 1/4 cup of heavy cream.

Slaw goes on cold. At least that’s how we always do it. Adds nice contrast.

They did get a touch more done than I was hoping but not burnt. Even the center of the yoke still had a little liquid to it.

It was perfect. Nice and crispy snap. Did a vid on scratching the sugar but it didn’t save.

Happy New Year!

I bet it was great.

That’s one gadget I don’t have yet. Maybe this year. Happy New Year!

That looks killer to me. Love a good deep dish pie.

Agreed. Some sandwiches go too much stuff. This just hits all the right spots.

Happy New Year to you as well.
