We all live in such different places... I love good barbecue but down here in paradise I'm much more likely to head to the nearest Cuban restaurant for some ropa viejia (spanish pot roast) with black beans and rice...

Trying regional food is one of life's great pleasures and my favorite part of travel.  My wife and I have a rule to never eat at a chain restaurant when traveling and specifically look for the family owned places that the locals like.  I ate at some great Cuban restaurants while in Miami. They were Cuban owned and staffed and the food was as authentic as it gets.  The food was wonderful!

... and if I ate the Cuban food that I like every day... I'd be big as a house... I betting that some of my ancestors were good solid peasant types...

That's can be said for pretty much all restaurant food, they sell tasty, tasty flavor.  Waif super model types don't buy enough Kale salad to keep the doors open but fettuccine alfredo-  now your talking!!

Oh it is if you like leftover Thanksgiving dinner and pizza. It’s my new favorite Black Friday meal.

Single digits last night and tonight. Baking bread is the best way to chase the chill away - sourdough boule and discard loaves.

Nice Kevin, sour dough is an art!  That bread looks amazing!  I think the first of the year single digit temps always feel the coldest.  I was at my vise yesterday early morning. The smell of cinnamon French toast which my wife made for me, combined with the that of the wood stove. Suddenly everything seemed just right with the world.

Remembered to save the bone and leave some meat on this time and had forgotten how much I like split pea soup. Wife did a great job with it cooking I did a great job with it eating for a couple of days. Sorry I haven't been haunting this thread at all but will make up for it with binge reading.

Too true, I've had this starter going about 4 years now and I'm still learning.

I don't know too much about it.  My daughter makes sour dough so from talking to her I know that much like fly tying there is a community out there that share their knowledge and trade cultures.  I know from a health standpoint t's one of the best breads you can eat.  Merry Christmas!
