What's on the Box?

 


A sunny Sunday afternoon; 82°(F) outside. Diana Krall's '01 in-Paris
recording in the headphones. What's yours?

AFC title game will be on in 20 minutes.  It'll be hard to cheer for the
Jets, but I'ma a Bills fan and I gotta root for the AFC east.

Got a family recipe corned beef about to go into the oven.  Our  own blend
of pickling spics, sugar, salt and cinnamon, aged for 12 days.  180 F for 35
minutes a lb.  We used a 5.5 lb brisket with the nice tip 1/4" fat.  yum
yum.  If this were summer ( Toronto) I'd be smoking it outside today to make
pastrami.

an occasional bark from one of the neighbors' dogs, and in the distance,
the sound of light traffic.  Occasionally an airplane.

Yikes! Where do you both live where it's that unbearably hot in
January? I only ask so I can avoid that part of the world like the
plague. I'll sit here happily with my 30F outside/50F inside, thank
you.

LOL.  In the 50s, overcast, our creek is running near full with normal
rushing water sounds.  No traffic sounds, no airplane sounds, no need
for headphones.  Cardinals, bandit birds, a funny little brown bird
that has the shape of a flying golfball, a couple of squirrels trying
to avoid joining family in the freezer.  Gorgeous green mosses and
reddish brown fungus on the dead tree branches.
