ReoVille's Labor Day Plans!

Too bad I won't be home to mix stuff...

We're about an hour or so west of Philly depending on how ya drive, 3 to 5 hours when you add in the tourists and rush hour traffic! Yeah I absolutely hate the cold! Never been that far up the Jersey coast, mostly South Jersey and down into Delaware and Va Beach. I hope Sandy didn't mess you guys up too bad!

We were slammed by Sandy. Homes vanished...boats in the streets. The experience was life altering for many. Belmar (just north of us) is still a mess -- boardwalk, homes, shops yet to be re-built.

Very nice!! I assume you also have vg/pg/nic? What will you whip up first?

 

[JC Okie]

I didn't know where else to post this...

I may have gone a little overboard with DIY stuff

Oh and THANKS ZOBEE!

Oooohhh! Cool project just waiting to be played with. Wow.

Yep I have a ton of VG nic base and other flavors. I'm going to try and replicate El Kamino and Honey Pearry, then re-make my waffle-pear mix.

Honey Pearry sounds yummy. What's the El-Kamino profile?

What I'm doing this weekend is figuring out what to do with the rest of my life starting NOW!!! Today was my last official day at work. Most people took off today to have a 4-day weekend, but I was there with a few other people. Someone said it was a shame we hadn't taken a vacation day in order to have the 4-day weekend, and it dawned on me.....a 4-day weekend is not so "all that" if I can have 7-day weekends the rest of my life!!! Yay for retirement!!!

Double/triple/quadruple yay for you Jan!!!!!!!!! Throw away that damn alarm clock!

I will be on day 15 of a 35 day hitch here in beautiful northeast Colorado working nights on an oil location. Fortunately, my wells are running like tops and it should be pretty chill. I will probably have a second Grand by next weekend be messing with coil builds.

I've got no plans for Labor Day except work, which isn't bad cause I'll be making double time and a half. The DW and myself flew out to Scottsdale last Wednesday, and we leave tomorrow at 7:15 am. Thought we might move out here in a couple of years, but it's not for us. We want to move out of the Midwest, and to some place that is warm and by an ocean...

That's nothing bro...When I get back from Scottsdale tomorrow, I'll post a pic of all my DIY supplies. My wife is convinced I'm making droogs, and not juices!

...WORK... pressure cooked Carnita's....WORK again.

 

[PayleRyder]

Grilling.
Lots of grilling.

(BTW, Lowes has the 20lb bags of kingsford charcoal normally 2/$20 on sale this weekend 2/$13, and military discount stacks on that as well.)

Congrats Jan... Let it soak in first.. Then figure out what to do.

I added one thing. I just made garlic jalapeño hummus from scratch. Not even canned chickpeas here! It's in the fridge now. First attempt...hope it is edible

Sounds yummy! Care to share your recipe? I LOVE hummus.

Flew to Oakland in the morning, now in Ukiah. Just got to the hotel resting before we go to Mendocino brewing co.

Just came back from Anderson Valley Brewing where we played frisbee golf

Gladly...but it's not much of a recipe. I dig cooking, but what I usually do is check a few recipes and then make it my way. See the saying that goes something like "there are as many ways to make kimchi as there are old Korean women".


I bought one pound of dried chickpeas. Soaked for about 10 hours (two cups water for every cup of dried...I used a 3-1 ratio). Rinsed, boiled for an hour in the same ratio of fresh water. You can skip this and use canned...but I wanted the experience. Then I cooled the chikpeas in the fridge while we shopped.

So, the real stuff:
Two cloves of garlic I chopped by hand, then threw in the food processor to chop more. Add a little tahini (two spoons), add chickpeas. Pulse a little. Add jalepenos, some juice, a splash of olive oil, and a little dried red pepper. I sampled, added a little more jalepeno. Do what tastes good to you

It takes a number of breaks to scrape the sides of the processor to get everything mixing well and get the texture. All in all, a $1.50 bag of chickpeas and stuff I had around anyway made 1qt of hummus with half the chickpeas leftover. Considering the cost of store bought hummus (here it's $5 for an 8 ounce container) and I made it my way. Solid choice.

I did use some of the leftover chickpeas to make veggie burgers also. Shockingly easy.

Reminds me, I am WAY overdue on a batch of kimchi.

Perfect...thank you! I need to make a batch to bring to my sister's on Monday. I may even UP the garlic -- can never have too much garlic.

Oh, yeah...I LOVE Kimchi, too.

Sounds like fun! Would you happen to be a stealth vaper?
