Anyone ever have a hot dog with smoked salmon? This looks pretty good actually.

Never tried it, but it looks good to me.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Looks tantalizing good.  No skimping on the olive oil. Are those large criminis?

I wish I had taken a picture.  I was out at a local lounge (here in WA) for Fat Tuesday and the chef (yes, a bar with a chef) had made a superb shrimp and grits appetizer, Creole style.  He even went to the trouble to order and buy his grits from South Carolina.  Don't know where the shrimp came from.  I can attest that it was delicious.  I can also attest that it was 24 bucks...

Did you have leftovers of the mushroom risotto, for tomorrow?

I never had a good grits dish. I just don't like grits.

No, I measured out enough rice for one dish.

Excellent choice, much more flavorful than criminis.

My dad introduced me to grits in a Howard Johnson's in Tennessee on a vacation.  He told me they were just like the cooked breakfast cereal I had at home.

He lied to you.   I realize that grits are a staple in the south but ugh!   They aren't as good as the old Malt-O-Meal or Coco Wheats which are ridiculously bad.

Never cared much for plain grits.  I prefer to go an extra step, or two, and make polenta or fried mush.  Corn meal needs some help.  Although I like shrimp and grits;  it isn't the grits that make the dish.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

All I know about grits is that one should only eat grits in the south or made by a southerner.....and that no self-respecting southerner would make instant grits, Vinnie told me.

I love shrimp and grits. We make cheesy grits when ever we make them. Same with polenta, which is a different part of the corn kernel and a different grind.

Wow, I'm Mr Observant.  Sheesh, the empty shiitake mushroom box is sitting right there on top of the trash.  There go any hopes of me ever becoming a forensic detective.

Well in your defense it would have required reading 😜

Reading the post on my phone I wouldn't typically zoom in on the trash receptacle in the photo.

I didn’t look, either. I’m just busting your chops.

Just purchases a new set of knives. 


Maximum versatility, minimum counter space. The three essential knives you need to start cooking better.

They have pretty good review. I like they use a higher quality of steel. I like the minimal look of them. I am big fan of full tang knives. 

One review I read had a a con being they were to sharp? Like, not like it was chipping the blade, but because it was unsafe? 

A sharp knife is a safe knife. Learn how to use a knife. I never hurt myself when my knives were properly sharpened.

That’s a good looking knife set. Let me know how the balance is.

That reminds me of the time I took over the bar at a restaurant I used to work at and the first thing I did was sharpen the knife we had. One of the other bartenders told me she was afraid to use the knife because it was too sharp. Made me laugh.

The safest feeling is when you barely have to use any force and the knife cuts. I mean, don't drop the knife. Always cut away from you. Just be aware of the sharp edge when cleaning. 

Things get sketchy when you need to put some muscle into a cut and the cutting board may be wet, or the item you are cutting is unstable. 

The worst cut I ever had is from a mandolin. Those things are dangerous.

The worst cut I've ever experienced was cutting an old, hard Tootsie Roll for my young son.  Took a small portion of my finger tip off.  And it was the first day of our week at the ocean.  I don't think they make a knife a knife that'll cut through that.  I should have used a power saw...

    • This is pretty much how I look at it.  I understand there are times when the piece of mind has value. I think over the long haul I'm money ahead by never buying the extended warrantee. Hell, What do I know? I went to Ch!cago PubIic SchooIs.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
