Calico and white/orange Dad. Home cook/pitmaster. Auto mechanic (for my vehicles, not pro). Internet tech professional since 80's. Raised in TX, East Coast MA "elite" since mid-90's. She caught the Katy.
Only complaint is that I think they should wet the sub roll with more marinara (as typical around here, the provolone is under the meatballs, not atop). I'm sure the wings are just Frank's but, cooked well, not dry. [BTW best buffalo sauce is 99 Restaurant & Pub, forever, tho, never tried Buff's]

Just switched to my "new" mechanical, backlit keyboard. I guess I need to install a Windows app to control backlight behavior (hopefully a setting that carries across computers, i.e., stored in the keyboard).

#CatSky I don't think I've paid a cat tax this week, so here is a double from Friday. Sorry my photos are often dark, that's just the weather this time of year in New England, and a phone camera of disappointing quality (although I never had one that was good in dim light).

Right on! I've gotten to meet-- even been (20 years ago) on a "recognize/first name basis" with one or two of those guys-- all but Scholz. Brad was a very gracious person, as was Sib (I met Sib like a week before he passed). The other guys weren't jerks or anything, just not as "glad to meet you!"

Welp, I guess I'll finally be forced to get a new car

Holy shit, my sister had this lunchbox (not that we watched that show, it was a hand-me-down, or somehow acquired for free, maybe from our cousin). I had the Disney school bus lunchbox.

Cornbread dressing & cranberry orange bread
Still need to make (packaged) gravy before I eat. Collard greens not pictured, because picture of collard greens is boring.

OK, it's no longer #Thanksgiving here (past midnight), but, this turkey breast came out very well, very moist. I just need to make gravy yet. Dressing is in the oven with the cranberry-orange bread.

You’ve just died.
The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.
[This is the 6th, if you follow my rule and count "double snaps" (to make sure at least one is presentable) as one]

Marshall bass head had unadvertised damage to the "blend" circuit. About to be a neutral feedback.

Seemed like the A-string was a little flat. And of course I suck. I hadn't played this bass in like 10 years before tonight. That's the Marshall tube preamp with 3/4 gain fed through the Peavey post via effects send/return.
