Nope, Mark, I am up here at home. They live less than a mile away from me and we're spending quite a bit of time together over the summer. Here's the cute grandkid story: my grandson said before we started baking, "I don't like peaches." After a couple of forkfuls of peach galette, he said, "I'll love peach galettes!"
A couple from the other night at my favorite spot, and where I'll be for a night or two next weekend, and one from a spot outside, which will be total hippie heaven or hell next weekend, depending on your point of view...
^^LOL. Ouch. At first glance, I thought the first Vail pic was of Mayer and that the second one featured Jay & Jeff seated at the table to the left...wait a second, is that Weir in the cowboy hat at the other table?!?
Looks very similar (dif. vantage point) to the one drawn on (pre-photoshop et al) to a photo of the face of Hoover dam, many years ago, that went "viral".
Actually that cocktail didn't seem very appetizing so I didn't try it :-)
They also had spam fries with horseradish mustard. They are covered in Doritos powder. I just couldn't bring myself try that either. Not a huge fan of spam but I guess it's a thing in Iowa.

i recently heard about this trick for storing avocados longer term than 3 to 5 days. I purchased these 28 days ago, four full weeks. When i got home, i placed them in a 1 gallon ziploc, put enough cold water in to cover them, zipped it up and set this in the frig. I purchased 3 brown and two green and i don't see any real change in them after four weeks and they still feel as firm as the day i bought them. Cut one open to look and it's not ideal, but at 4 weeks, it's not too bad and taste and texture is normal avocado taste and texture. Normally these four would be gone within a week, but if I can get two weeks out of this, that would be ideal. Has anyone else tried this?

i recently heard about this trick for storing avocados longer term than 3 to 5 days. I purchased these 28 days ago, four full weeks. When i got home, i placed them in a 1 gallon ziploc, put enough cold water in to cover them, zipped it up and set this in the frig. I purchased 3 brown and two green and i don't see any real change in them after four weeks and they still feel as firm as the day i bought them. Cut one open to look and it's not ideal, but at 4 weeks, it's not too bad and taste and texture is normal avocado taste and texture. Normally these four would be gone within a week, but if I can get two weeks out of this, that would be ideal. Has anyone else tried this?
