Cast iron dutch oven in the oven full of homemade beef stew. Sure is makin' the house smell good. Just hopin' it tastes as good as it smells.  Don't know what I'd do without my cast iron. 

sounds wonderful

Gonna stick the bread in the oven in just a few, yes I cheated and got frozen, and that should top it off.  I sneaked a taste when I checked on it a while ago and it is truly yummy.

Then you should post the recipe in the recipes area.

There really is no recipe.  I just brown the beef which I cut into chunks, make a brown gravy, and throw veggies & 'taters in then stick it in the oven.  It's just one of those one pot put whatever you want to in it things. You do have to keep an eye on it through out the day though so it doesn't boil dry.  If you have to add much water, which I've had to at times, I just make a thickener on top of the stove and add it at some point 'cause we like thick gravy rather than thin.

Our resident squirrels who are usually busy chasing each other and having a good time have been busy all morning gathering as many leaves as their mouths would hold and taking them to their tree hole nests in ours and the neighbors yards all morning.  Suppose that's a bad sign weather wise?

Last word


A motorcycle police officer stops a driver for shooting through a red light.

The driver is a real bastard, steps out of his car and comes striding toward
the officer, demanding to know why he is being harassed by the Gestapo!

So the officer calmly tells him of the red light violation.The motorist instantly
goes on a tirade, questioning the officer's ancestry, sex orientation, etc., in
rather explicit offensive terms.

The tirade goes on without the officer saying anything. When the officer
finishes writing the ticket he puts an "AH" in the lower right corner of the
narrative portion of the ticket. He then hands it tothe 'violator' for his
signature. The guy signs the ticket angrily, and when presented with his
copy points to the "AH" and demands to know what it stands for.

The officer says, "That's so when we go to court, I'll remember that you're
an asshole!"

Two months later they're in court.The 'violator' has a bad driving record with

a high number of points and is in danger of losing his license, so he hired a
lawyer to represent him.

On the stand the officer testifies to seeing the man run through the red light.

Under cross examination the defense attorney asks;"Officer is this a
reasonable facsimile of the ticket that you issued to my client?"

Officer responds, "Yes, sir, that is the defendant's copy, his signature and
mine, same number at the top."

Lawyer: "Officer, is there any particular marking or notation on this ticket you
don't normally make?"

"Yes, sir, in the lower right corner of the narrative there is an "AH," underlined."

"What does the "AH" stand for, officer?"

"Aggressive and hostile, Sir."

"Aggressive and hostile?"

"Yes, Sir."

"Officer, are you sure it doesn't stand for asshole?"

"Well, sir, you know your client better than I do."

How often can one get an attorney to convict his own client?

I just googled it and all I saw was jokes poked back at it.  Well, a few lib's got their panties in a bunch 'cause they thought it was a poke at Obama.  I think you'd better go read that stuff again.
