Cook number 4 on the @biggreenegg Chicken Thighs. At this point what I’d say is if you have mastered the basic concepts of cooking on a Weber Kettle, there’s barely a learning curve. Start slow if you’re smoking and start tamping down your vents early for low and slow temp management. For hot indirect the plate makes cooking high heat indirect a breeze. Just let it rip, put in the deflector plate and it’s basically a huge convection oven with smoke.

Happiness at the beach.

Be mindful where the water recedes. The Long Beach wrack line Sunday and Monday–at the particular time we walked and that wind & weather–degraded the closer one walked to the creek end (litter trail rough at times: syringes, needles, orange needle cap covers, feminine hygiene products, cigarette tips, etc.). We picked up, and turned back.

Lion on the move! I caught a glimpse of this lion on the move. Pretty cool. I hope to see it in its forever home on display soon. I have a guess where it might be headed and I’ll have to go by and see later this week.

My visit to Alaska has been an amazing experience so far. We have spent about half our time in Homer Alaska on the Spit; a long narrow spit of land jutting out into Kachemak Bay. It’s a fishing town which advertises itself as the Halibut Capital Of The World. There are as many similarities as there are differences between Homer and Gloucester. Here are a few images and a filleting video you might enjoy.
