T2 on the Pit Boss Grill

My Pit Boss Grill is my most favorite grill ever. With Thanksgiving around the corner and having never smoked a turkey before I figured I better give it a try in preparation for one of my favorite times of the year! Turkey Number 1 (T1), a 15 pound Jennie O, turned out okay. I cannot believe I forgot to take a picture of the T1 experience, except for the carcass.

Brining is not my thing. I guess I should try to brine but never have, not even when oven roasting turkey, so for T1 it merely got washed down really well and checked for missed feathers. Before rubbing it down with olive oil followed by my personal Turkey Herbs & Spice mix I did do a coarse salt scrub on it,

Basically it was the same process for Turkey Number 2 (T2), also a 15 pound Jennie O. It turned out much more flavorful than T1 with a couple of adjustments in my smoking/griller procedure and a rub down with buttah, baby!, instead of the olive oil. Again I did not brine the turkey and it turned out absolutely fine, even with one major misstep in my grilling process. Instead of transferring it to an aluminum pan I left it on the grill the entire time. All that happened was the skin stuck to the grill. No big deal.

This Monday it is time for Turkey Number 3 (T3), a 20 pounder Butterball. It will be great to see how well a larger bird works out on the grill. The only major change I am going to make is the type of pellets used on T1 & T2. Instead of applewood my husband wants me to try the Traeger Turkey Blend of hickory, maple, oak wood with rosemary. It will be interesting to see how it all tastes with my special herb & spice blend for the bird.

Yeah Baby! #TurkeyTime!

Hart Spine and Rehab

After being out of joint for a few of days, unable to get my body to realign itself, I finally listened to my Coach Charles‘ recommendation to go see Dr. Hart of Hart Spine and Rehab. It was a fantastic experience. I should have gone in to see Dr. Hart two days ago.

The staff is absolutely wonderful. Meeting and chatting with Dr. Hart was like connecting with a long lost friend. The vibe at the center was lovely.

My next visit will be to Missy Johns, the licensed massage therapist, for my 90 minute session so I look forward to that experience real soon.

Hart Spine and Rehab is moving to their new location in December. They will be in the building right next to Guns Out Crossfit which puts them closer to my neck of the woods. Well, by a minute, barely.

Hart Spine and Rehab definitely deserve a 5 Star rating in my book.

10 Day Social Media Fast: Day 10

Today was one of those days where I truly enjoyed the time I spent with my little Charlie R. He has had a bit of a runny nose this week so has been a little out of sorts but nothing horrible with which to deal. He took a three hour nap today so I am figuring that he is on the mend.

We ran an errand today. We went to Walmart to see if we could find him a “blue monie.” We looked all around and could not find one. So we left empty handed.

A monie is what he refers to as his blanket. I bought him one when he was born. It has a little whale on it. It is a very silky, blue blanket and it is Charlie R.’s favorite. He seriously l o v e s that monie. Never mind he has a gray one his parents bought him and it stays in his crib at his house, and never mind I bought a similar one to keep here so he had something to remind him of home, and never mind I have a second gray one in my car so we do not have to haul the crib monie back and forth as we go gallivanting about town.

So for now, no new blue monie to help take the edge off the single monie blues.

10 Day Social Media Fast: Day 7

Last weekend was General Conference and it was absolutely wonderful. This weekend has been Stake Conference and today’s Sunday session was every bit as wonderful as last evening’s session.

Inspired by the things I heard speakers share today, I went back to the talks from last Sunday to add additional insights as to what I understood from this morning’s speakers.

Deep and Lasting Conversion to Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ

World conditions increasingly require deepening individual conversion to and strengthening faith in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and His Atonement. The Lord has prepared us, line upon line, for the perilous times that we now face. In recent years, the Lord has guided us to address related core concerns, including:

Honoring the Sabbath day and the sacred ordinance of the sacrament has again been emphasized for the last three years.

Believe, Love, Do

The good news is, there is hope. There is a solution to the emptiness, vanity, and Weltschmerz of life. There is a solution to even the deepest hopelessness and discouragement you might feel.

Wounded

The Savior is our Good Samaritan,¹¹ sent “to heal the brokenhearted.”¹² He comes to us when others pass us by. With compassion, He places His healing balm on our wounds and binds them up. He carries us. He cares for us. He bids us, “Come unto me … and I shall heal [you].”¹³

Firm and Steadfast in the Faith of Christ

I am reminded of our mothers’ counsel: “Eat your vegetables; it will do you good.” Our mothers are right, and in the context of steadfastness in the faith, “eating your vegetables” is to pray constantly, to feast on the scriptures daily, to serve and worship in the Church, to worthily take the sacrament each week, to love your neighbor, and to take up your cross in obedience to God each day.²⁴

Shepherding Souls

Brothers and sisters, our greatest challenges and our greatest rewards may come as we minister to lost sheep. The members of the Church in the Book of Mormon “watch[ed] over their people, and did nourish them with things pertaining to righteousness.”¹⁶ We can follow their examples and remember that ministering is to be “led by the Spirit, … flexible, and … customized to the needs of each member.” It is also critical that we “seek to help individuals and families prepare for their next ordinance, keep [their] covenants … , and become self-reliant.”¹⁷

Luke 22: 32

But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

10 Day Social Media Fast: Day 4

It was a zoo day. Little Charlie R. and I went to the zoo. The weather could not have been more lovely with the passing of Hurricane Michael. The temperatures and humidity seemed to sort themselves out as a lovely breeze flowed through the partly cloudy day. It was simply lovely weather for this time of year.

I watched Jeffy on The Blaze this morning for a bit. Love that Kris Cruz. Other than that no news for me today. Just my little 2 year old and the zoo and the things that make a 2 year old’s life turn through the day.

Charlie R. fed the giraffes. He fed the ducks and the carp. And best of all he fed himself at lunch time.

Simple joys.

My favorite part of the day was nap time once we got home from the zoo. He was singing the chorus to The Family is of God in that sweet little voice of his, as he drifted off to sleep.

“…This is how He shares His love, for the fam’ly is of God.”

Queso de Chihuahua and Cinco de Mayo

Oh my goodness. You have not had Queso until you have had Queso de Chihuahua! It is absolutely buttah, Baby!

My friend, who is from the Colonies, went home to see family for a mini-vacation and brought back a wonderful chunk of queso as a gift. It is a deliciously light, creamy, dreamy, smooth like fresh, butter white queso. I cannot even describe the wonderful texture and taste of this cheese though after some searching this is explanation, though interesting, does not do it justice. It is truly something you have to experience because I have never seen or tasted a queso quite like it.

Thank you Divine Miss M!

On another note, here is the story of Cinco de Mayo, The Battle of Puebla, courtesy of History.com and another fascinating read from FoxNews.com: It’s Cinco de Mayo — Don’t be a misinformed, insensitive nitwit…

Cinco de Mayo. Who needs a reason to celebrate?

Yeah, not us. And in this house, we do it without the booze. We choose Queso de Chihuahua and Herb Alpert. (Ting!)

Whoopwhoop: 365 Challenge ENDS

My day began with Jonathan Hoenig’s Saturday CapitalistPig.com school.

Screen Shot 2018-01-27 at 11.41.06 AM.png — WWW.CAPTITALISTPIG.COM

It is a free seminar that he generously shares with his followers on most Saturday mornings beginning promptly at 10 a.m., Central Time. I have been watching him for several years so when he started these free classes I jumped on board to learn more about investing. And I have the confidence to invest because of his willingness to impart his knowledge and wisdom.

At the end of today’s session there was a great Q&A going on but I had to leave the conversation. I had two incoming calls that needed to be answered and then a few errands that needed running.

It was fun to get my feet done today. They were looking pretty scary! It was really nice to see everyone at the nail salon. Glad they remembered me. My feet look fabulous.

Time to make a Publix run. My friend, Michel, and her daughter were coming over so I needed some juices boxes and some kind of delightful snacks to serve.

They came. We played. We snacked. It was so much fun! My little Madison is a Mini-Michel. They are so adorable to watch together. It is like looking at Michel as a toddler and Madeline as a grown-up. Like being in a time warp, hysterical!

It has been another day in my Florida paradise. Good friends, good food, and good notes from Jonathan.

Best of all, today is the last day for my daily writing challenge!

Whoopwhoop!

Little side trips

Well, I shed a few tears today as the photographer came to shoot the house and when we signed the realtor agreement. It seems the last eleven years have simply flown by in a home filled with peace and joy and laughter and great food and friends and family.

Which reminds me. My friend, Connie, came by today. It was great to catch up on the things happening in her life with her family.

It was fun to pop by my other friend’s place. It was just my luck that I caught up with Nancy for a minute chat.

I have a play date with another friend, Michel, this weekend. I am so looking forward to meeting her Mini-me.

Every day unfolds with a little better…

The painters finished the interior today. They put everything back up, reset furniture (what little we have currently) and headed out to their next job once we settled up. I will miss Jon and his crew. Yet, it feels a little better to have the house with fresh paint and fewer people in it.

Honey-do just about has all of his tasks completed. Tonight we are working together to finish cleaning out all of the lights while wiping down the fans. Knowing the bugs are cleaned out with the dust on the blades makes life a little bit better.

But the best news is that shooting pain on my hip/back area is less sore every day. My mobility is greatly increasing while the pain continues to significantly decrease. The radiologist report revealed no fractures or breaks from that nasty tumble so that brightened my day, making it just a little bit better.

And Saturday Morning just got a little better with Jonathan Hoenig! I am so looking forward to his online, LIVE! educational experience tomorrow even though the title leaves a lot to be desired but that is my Jonathan. He is intense. He is quirky, bright but best of all a relatively calm, rational, thinker. I adore him for he makes my life a little better with every Saturday he offers to share what he has learned about investing.

Brevard’s best painter: Jon Farmer

Jon Farmer, owner of Farmer Painting, is a fantastic painter. He painted the interior of my home when we first moved in. He painted the exterior of my home six years later. He is currently repainting the interior of my home as we prepare to sell it.

Jon and his crew are incredibly clean, neat, and exceptionally professional. We could not be more thrilled having them in our home. They are truly delightful to work with, bringing great joy in love for and pride in the work they do.

On a scale from 1 to 10 we rate them 10+ for integrity and excellence in the profession. Jon and his crew have always made it a painless experience.

Now, if only I could wrap up the house and paint crew and transport them to our next location…
