What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

Hey @kevgib67 I went and got all 7 hairs cut.
This meant I had to go outside.
I was afraid but I made it! Didn't even melt! :star-struck:
It’s such a relief that you are ok!!!!!! That is so cool you got all seven cut at the same time. Here in Ohio I can only get a haircut. Last one was 867. I’m scheduled for 868 next week. By the time I’m done number 1 needs cut. You are lucky my friend!
 
I am still waiting for Tim to help me be thrilled with food again...
I have eaten nothing since last night on the promise of something special. :crying-face:
Meanwhile he eats gourmet tacos and fancy drinks.
So unfair....
 
Maybe I’m your big brother! I had the white coat with the sleeves pulled up to my elbows and wore it to a high school dance.
pictures or it didn’t happen

Well, we're not having tacos tonight. My daughter is currently making some Mexican Stroganoff. It's one of my favorite dishes my wife used to make for me years back. They were at the store today and my daughter decided she was making it tonight.

She calls me, "Dad, do we have red wine vinegar and chili paste?"
Me, "You're making me Mexican Stroganoff???"

Sun and saltwater to melt ya!
Btw, none of u have ever seen a picture of my grandchildren- it’s an illusion…

My daughter would kill me if she knew.

But Nonna’s gotta do what Nonna’s gotta do

My thinking cap has been on for this one. That first bite, has to hit.

It would help Tim if you mentioned flavors that used to be your favorite- the kind deep in your DNA
 
He strikes me as a buffet kinda guy. When he gets the love back it's going to be a bite of seared medium rare ribeye perfectly seasoned and a dollop of fresh horseradish, a bite of bacon crusted roasted brussel sprouts, a bite of sweet potato with cinnamon, brown sugar, and just the right amount of marshmallows, a small cob of sweet corn with salted sweet cream butter (and a small slather of mayo if he's really wanting a treat!), some perfectly crispy orange chicken on a bed of pork fried rice, a maple honey glazed pork butt (or shoulder could work), and a PILE of tacos - Barbacoa, pastor, carnitas, grilled chicken, and fajita steak. Then, he'll end with a gooey chocolate brownie ala mode and a small slice of sweet potato pie covered in whipped cream.

I am now full thank you so much Tim! :star-struck: :star-struck:
