Good morning Fran. I'm will be heading out of town to enjoy some nature and the outdoors today.Good morning random folksHave you any plans today?
How about you?
Anyone have plans today? DD and GS are away so SIL and I are having grilled steaks and salad. SIL will do the grilling so no cooking for me 
Ohhh. that sounds nice. Enjoy
Fireworks! GF and I are going out to eat, then to fireworks.
She loves them, we go nearly every year. She loves to feel the boom and to be nearly under them. It's a thing, kind of like you get with some people at rock concerts. She's 100% immersed in the event.
And of course, the CV-19 has leveled off and maybe starting to increase again. But it's still low risk enough for us to go out to eat, so we will. Grrr.
And I'm still hearing from the locals that masks are B.S. and that they'll never get vaccinated, and we're not talking about medical reasons to avoid it. I don't understand people...or maybe I do, but I'm too optimistic to think of them the way I should...because dang. On the plus side, I signed up for the vaccine lottery that MI just started. lol.

I barely used the zenith pro. I don’t really remember why but didn’t care for it. I haven’t really done much mtl with the zenith 2. I have been running the .3 coils for Rdl. One thing I like about the zenith 2 is it’s easy to take apart completely to clean.
It looks like a fantastic smoker to me, really. Self monitoring of heat, which is beautiful and would take a lot of hassle out of the smoking process, if you're not a purist and are into automation (and that's me, I love tech anyway).
Any of the models with similar feature would be great smokers. Brisket and chickens...yum!

I didn't like the Zenith Pro but I'm afraid I can't tell you why cause I don't remember and I piffed it long ago. I do like the new Zenith II.
I’ve had my barrel smoker for several years and my motivation in looking at pellet grills is to take the hassle out of it. Not to mention that I go through a bag of charcoal and a bag of wood chunks every time I smoke.
Happy 4th of July! My neighbors were shooting fireworks last night. I dislike them and worry about house fires. Cat stayed close to me but she took it very well as she is a jumpy cat on a good day.
I don’t grill often. I use the somewhat cheapest one I can find. The one I have now stays exposed and has seen better days but it works. Always charcoal. I don’t like opening them as the red wasps tend to always love building nests in them. I’ll be brave, and ready with a can of wasp spray, when I grill later.
I’ll be finishing cutting grass and I’m washing my bedding now. Then I’ll grill. ‘Bout it for us. Son is studying for a thermodynamics test on Tuesday.

Mmmm, bug spray flavored burgers. People in our neighborhood were shooting off stuff last night to. Sounded like some big ones. People used to drop m80’s down the storm drain and it would echo for blocks. Haven’t heard one of those yet but the fun is just starting.
Morning all....
Added a little bit of pralines and cream to a tank of my milkshake base and it's really good but needs a bit more sweetness....maybe some sweet cream or meringue?? Or I could just add a sweet fruit...pretty much any fruit will go with hazelnuts I'm thinking.
I'm trying to de sweeten myself... as we all know I don't need any extra really
Have a good day everyone
you might like this attachment (for download) it's the "ultimate fruit pairing" chart. Helps you find flavors that go together, that you may not have thought about...
I'm really surprised I haven't heard any fireworks. I remember last year hearing them for several days. Not really a big deal as it was far enough away that it wasn't all that loud. Weather here has been pretty crappy so maybe that has to do with it. I'm sure they'll be out tonight even in rain.
Eh, I never close the lid while grilling so it won’t matter. We are just country people, what doesn’t kill you just makes you stronger.
Son will be too busy inhaling the food so he won’t notice. Here is our grill…I’m just frugal but it works for us. Ok ok I’m cheap!
They have been shooting off fireworks for over a week in my neighborhood. I technically live just outside the city limits, so there are no restrictions on them. That is one of the reasons I am heading out of town later on today. My dog and I could use some peace and quiet.
