Lanier,
Fish and a salad. With a beer. Told you it was a great place to work.



Can�t afford Detroit?

You promise?

Best,
Ted

You sitting in the LGBT or female section?
The table and place mats are, um, um, what�s the word I�m looking for...
gay? Nice beer koozie. Classy shop you guys are running there. You�d think they�d have at least two glasses.
That Juan�s plate next to yours? What is that? Ice tea? Odd choice...



Might just be able to get you into something around Zug Island.
It�d be a stretch though.

Welcome to Detroit-Drugs, Guns and P...y, next exit.

Dang Ted, salmon at lunch sounds pretty nice to me. The 442 is also looking darn good these days. Early Fall is wonderful for many things, including a ride in a classic car.

Roasting chestnuts - these come from a huge Japanese chestnut tree in the front yard. This was the culprit which brought the chestnut blight to America in the 1930's which killed the native North American chestnuts - it survives, flourishes and gives back.
1) make a mark of a cross across the point (I think this is French Catholic tradition but I can't change it), 2) soak chestnuts in water for 30 min; 3) roast in oven for 30 min at 375 and peel while still hot - otherwise skin sticks to the chestnuts. These are delicious right out of the oven.



Roast Pork with small potatoes, mushrooms mixed with chestnuts:

1) Mushrooms are fried down with salt, pepper, garlic and some other stuff - likewise the small potatoes, cut in quadrants so as to leave a lot of surface to absorb the juices. 2) Chestnuts cut in small pieces leaving jagged edges to absorb the juice.


2) Pork is punctured before cooking with about 9 garlic cloves, salt and pepper is put into the holes as well. About 20min at 375 degrees per pound. Baste every 10 minutes.. We like to cut the pork roast into pieces then put it back in for 4 minutes - add the potatoes, mushrooms and chestnuts at that time...make sure you scrape up the crust off the bottom of the baking dish. Add a Cosmopolitan (2 parts Vodka, 1/2 Triplesec, 1/4 lime juice, 3/4 cranberry juice, orange twist) and a classic gin martini with olive (We don't drink this way except once a year).


3). Salad dressing is traditional French - 1 part Dijon Mustard, 5 parts olive oil, a bit of Balsamic Vinegar, salt and pepper, a half clove of garlic minced very fine and mixed together (don't whip it into a Mayonnaise)...(Makes a great sauce for avocado too).


37th Wedding anniversary (though we celebrate the 40th anniversary of engagement):

Gene, that's a mighty pretty dish, but it's way too much carbs for the amount of protein it it for me. Even tho' I love potatoes and many other carbs I am foremost a carnivore. My ancestors didn't fight their way to the top of the food chain for me to live off of starches.

Very nice pics, and an attractive table. But, you need to include more of your pretty wife in the pics than her hands.

Best to you, SRH

Sure - 2 years ago in Tunis.....30 years ago in India - she was a great friend of General Palit who introduced me to double guns.

We actually had it at the Olds show this year, Lloyd. Chris found a model of a GSX.



I have a model that rides around with me. My placemats don�t have cigarette burns in them, either.

Best,
Ted

Thanks, Gene, and Ted. I can appreciate a pretty wife because I have one, too.

Best to the both of you, SRH
