I know, right? And if a guy just mounted an actual 6-pack or 12-pack cooler flush with the top of the table, it would stay cold longer, you could drain it out more easily, and pop the top back on when you're not partying to keep dirt and gunk out of it.

If only I would use my powers for good, instead of nefariousness... who knows what I might accomplish...

only problem is I'd have to drink outside.

It started snowing here for a few min... now that the ground has 2 inches on it... it stopped :thumbup: The weather this winter makes me happy
 
Thanks Jerry. Do you like how the Micarta is darkening up from use ? Its matching my Tradewater more and more every day.

I do. Here in a few months it probably will be as dark. :thumbup: I debated on sending mine in for a spa treatment, but I'm going to hold off. It is a heck of a worker that has earned its bit of patina.

I lol'ed :) I'll take a wild guess and say that either Todd or Murph sent you that pic just to be a smarty-pants.

Trailing point knives are cool as a polar bear's backside :thumbup:

Haha - You got it. I posted it to be a smart ass to Silverthorn who was begging for pictures before it shipped out last year.

Oh, that ol' thing? :blush: I'm s'posed to make more of those, just haven't gotten a round to it yet. They really are fun to make... I'm glad people like 'em.

I guess I'll just put this here for now. It's my "nod to a vegetarian supper"... More of a "Thanks" nod not a "you're totally right in your life choice" type of nod though.

The mac and cheese didn't turn out quite right. I was trying to make mac and cheese balls but they failled. Instead I just have AMAZING jalepeno sausage mac and cheese.
 
The steak and green beans looks good from here :thumbup:

Seems to me that making really good mac'n'cheese is a lot trickier than it looks, even though it's such a "simple" dish... easy to do half-vast, hard to master.

It should be creamy and flavorful, but not heavy or starchy. It definitely shouldn't be soupy or clump up into balls, and it should be satisfying, but not settle in your gut like a chunk of concrete.

Mac'n'cheese is like pizza and sex... even when it's not very good, it's still probably better than nothing... but very seldom is it truly amazing. But when it's superlative... it's pretty goldang amazing :)

I'll say this much: after having met and married my wife and experienced the way she cooks the pasta just right and makes the cheese sauce from scratch and then blends them together, I'll never eat that "instant" bull-puckey that comes in a box or can ever again if I can possibly help it. I'm talking true survival situation... I'd have to be very, very broke and very, very hungry to choke down the store-bought stuff. Color me spoiled :p

The mac and cheese was an experiment. I was trying to make mac and cheese balls. I think the cream cheese was too warm when trying to make the balls out of it.

Why? :confused: Mac'n'cheese ain't meant to be clumped up. That sort of "experiment" never ends well; in fact, it defeats the whole purpose and simplicity that makes the basic components so beautiful and endearing.

It's like trying to drink whiskey from a bottle of wine or cramming peanut butter into a jar of jelly... sure, you can kinda cobble them together more-or-less, but it's still a half-dozen-of-one and six-of-the-other that adds up to a mess. Sort of like a morphadite... too much of both and not enough of either one.

Just my opinion, of course.

Actually, while the ball feature didn't work, the mac and cheese was actually still really delicious! Of course anything that you mix cream cheese, jalepenos, and sausage into is going to be good.
