Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[StereoPlayer]

Squirrels love corn on the cob. They seem to take it home. I wonder if there are cob cabins built in the trees.

They can’t get to the cob you see. The blue jays can though. I enjoy watching the birds at the feeders. The tv is just to the left of the window. What a life!

It's 3 degrees here. Gonna take another coffee to get me out the door

It’s 2 below and our dog wants to go and do her thing. Did I ever mention that I hate winter?

I would like this but I don't drink alcohol.

OK, throw in a 'virgin' pina colada/daquiri/martini/? and a "N-A" beer. But they don't fit the rhythm of the song.

It's kind of chilly here this morning too, 73, hoping it goes up to 75 today. Watched the half hour fireworks from half the parks in the city last night at midnight and there's a LOT of parks here. I do miss the snow though, seriously.

 

[GwenOnBass]

There's snow, and then there's shoveling deep snow in predawn light, in jammies, so the dog has somewhere to go (a friend told me)

For those of you playing at home, last night's stewed oysters were elegant. More than welcome here and if you don't care for stewed oysters there are assorted beverages, biscuits, and clotted cream.

Smoked oysters are my favorite, never had stewed.

One of my favorites, slightly BBQ'd in the half-shell.

I live rather close to a lemonade stand of no mean fame. Oysters are only part of the attraction, for it is also widely held to be haunted. The only spirits I encounter are of the liquid sort

And there is a ristorante six blocks from my (then) residenza in Milan that serves a risotto with squid ink that will nail your bum to the floor.

I likes 'em "in the can"

It doesn’t matter where you eat them.

My wife had to leave the room before it was over...she only likes crab if someone (me) cleans it and presents her with only the crab meat...it was fun to watch her though (in a sadistic sort of way)!

 

[GwenOnBass]

Ah ha!

Checked the larder to find two tins of sardines in olive oil, one tin of calamari, and one tin of smoked oysters. Better than Yukon Cornelius' peppermint mine, and I don't have to lick a pickax!

I'm preparing a double rack of lamb with a red wine/Cassis reduction, finished with about a pound of butter!......

Cool, but did you start with enough butter?

 

[GwenOnBass]

Bresaola, and ripened Camembert to be sampled. An Anchor Steam Christmas Ale to be chilled. Panettone and clotted cream to be finished.

Naturally.....it's a sauce de belle Froggo....
