Speaking of “divisive”, green been casserole is the most divisive cultural issue in our household. Growing up in Oklahoma, we always followed the recipe and topped with fried onions. Lisa grew up in Kansas with it topped with crushed Lays potato chips. Still no resolution

Well, at least I had no mishaps with tonight’s barbecue.

Hey, it was BELOW room temp*!

I’m pretty sure that having to wait until these cool to room temperature violates the Geneva Conventions.

Any day that starts with an unexpected toad can’t be all bad. I was refilling the dog waterer and this guy was in the base when I pulled the big bottle off.

It’s their bed, we are just allowed to borrow it at night.

I finally gave in and acquired a sourdough starter. I'm still doing a few more feedings before I bake the first bread, but it came from King Arthur with a recipe for pizza crust that uses the discard.

Wow! I love how easy the dough was to work with and how well it crisped up.

Was looking at tomorrow’s college basketball schedule and ran across this gem. I not sure whether it’s disturbing or just amusing.

It's time to ask the #entomology and #insectid folks for help identifying this insect that is proliferating on my datil pepper plants. They look like stink bugs but I can't line them up with any pictures online to know if they're pests or predators. On leaves and peppers. Many present, only adults.

You might say that I've been devilishly persistent in playing this silly game.

Two of my favorites from today’s #NoKings protest in Gainesville.

The frog has arrived! This is not a drill!

There’s probably a frog here somewhere in Gainesville, but for now we can enjoy this pig.

I am inordinately proud of this spatchcocked chicken. It was marinated in a shawarma marinade. I love the crosshatched skin from the grill surface.

Oh yeah, it was juicy and tasty, too.

I'm not sure what to call this, but it made for a #GoodLunch

Dragging an arena is like raking a giant zen garden.

Just look at this turkey!

Actually, we’re in Heidelberg for a few more days. It’s lovely here.

We had our family holiday gathering today, featuring St. Louis cut ribs. These turned out well.

We picked a passel of popper peppers.

The poppers were a tasty addition to a cheeseburger and corn.
