    We get a grass fed cow every year, so we’ll have steaks grilled. I’ll smoke some St Louis style ribs, then burgers and sausages for the kids.

    Mostly people come to my place to drink

    Yes. I am towards the end of week 2. I get to have pureed stuff this week. Next week soft solids. Week 4 I can start eating a restricted list of solids. Then at week 6 I can eat anything...and I will.

    Couldn’t care what I’m eating.

    I’ll be in a posh oceanfront condo in Oceanside, CA. As long as I got a drink in my hand (I will), nothing else will matter.

    I left out the celery in that potato salad. The celery and the onion provides some crunch. I also under cook the red potatoes just a tad so there's just a hint of bite to them but not like a crunchy apple kind of bite. No, it's just so they're not too mushy.

    Kimchee means Korean style of pickle so there are many different kinds of vegetables that can be kimcheed. The most popular kimchee is the Chinese,(Napa), cabbage kimchee. WhileI love that kimchee (bachoo kimchee) it's not my favorite. The Koreans have a type of cucumber from which they make a cucumber kimchee (Oyee kimchee) which is my favorite. The also make a very popular one called ginyeep kimchee (it's a hard 'g') that's made from the pirilla leaf (from the mint family) kimchee that's delicious with those kalbi ribs I was talking about and some sticky rice. I guess my real favorite is a kimchee made from watercress but from experience I know you have to use new growth very tender watercress to pull that off. My wife's favorite kimchee is made from Asian (garlic) chives which gives her a garlicky breath that bothers me at night.
    I don't eat samgyeopsal although my half Korean niece loves it. Except for bacon and occasionally ham, I'm not much into pork. Oh yeah, I love ham hocks and beans or ham hocks and greens both types with corn bread which I've been eating since I was a toddler since my father was from Alabama and my mother from Georgia.
    Another Korean dish which I'm not all that crazy about is one that is pretty popular with most Americans, bee bim bop.
    I eat a lot of Korean food but not all of it.

    Heading back home for the holiday and I can't wait. Hopefully my parents still have some venison from the elk my brother got last fall. I'm sure we will be smoking some fresh caught fish at some point to. Great grandma's potato salad recipe is the tits, so I can't wait for that. My mother also has a Chinese chicken salad that she always makes that is delicious. I plan on gaining at least 10 pounds.

    Oh, and beer. Plenty of beer.

    I'll be in la Pine, don't tell Maris.

    I've always referred to elk as elk and venison was deer meat.

    Can I come to your place? I like to drink (and there's nothing better than grass fed beef) but mainly I like to drink so I'd fit right in.

    And how.
    We grilled some prime rib eye steaks from Costco yesterday. Put kosher salt on liberally both sides a half an hour before grilling over natural lump charcoal. The outer crust was to die for. Washed it down with a Napa valley pinot noir. Had baked potato with unsalted butter and sour cream and diced green onion also had fried mushrooms. Yum
