Eric and I like to joke with each other that we have nineheads.
Most people have foreheads, but big ugly guys like us have huge nineheads.
Would you just look at the space between his eyebrows and his hairline?
You could plaster a billboard up there.
Unfortunately for me, my ninehead is even bigger.

Ingredients For The Worlds Greatest Lobster Roll
Ingredients For The Worlds Greatest Lobster Roll, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
Has to be Cains mayo, and hot dog rolls so you can grill them to a golden brown with the salted butter.
Notice there is no lettuce, paprika, celery or any other filler. If anything else appears in your lobster roll, you have an inferior lobster roll.
steam the lobsters and shuck the meat
tear the meat into 1/2 inch chunks or so and mix with cains mayo
refrigerate
once lobster and mayo is chilled, butter each side of cheap hot dog rolls (the kind you tear apart)
you do not want to use any goddamn baguette or crusty overpowering roll
you want white bread tear apart soft hot dog rolls
once you butter the sides of the hot dog rolls with SALTED butter you pan brown the roll so its warm and golden brown
just barely browned but the roll should still be very soft
then load up your cool lobster/mayo filling into the warm soft buttery roll and you have yourself the perfect lobster roll
note- NO LETTUCE- NO CELERY-NO PAPRIKA- NO FANCY CRUSTY FRENCH ROLL

Don’t Be Fooled
Pretty On The Outside- Rusted Inside, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
I have been fooled once. Never ever again. Learn from my mistake.
Four years ago we splurged and bought an expensive stainless grill. Looks pretty, right?
Well looks can be deceiving because the entire guts of this expensive grill are rotted away except for the stainless grates. The ignitors, the bars that hold the burners in place, the flame tamers, all rotted to pieces. The original burners have already been replaced (luckily this was after two years and the manufacturer replaced them for free).
I notice at Home Depot and Lowe’s 95% or so of the grills they offer are the stainless variety. They will stay looking nice on the outside of the grill for a long time but there are more reasons than the guts rotting out rapidly why I would advise against buying a stainless outdoor grill.
The main reason is that the stainless steel grills really don’t hold the heat that well compared to those old heavy cast iron grills that we used to buy up until this latest stainless grill fad.
Ultimately you are buying a grill to cook the best food you can. If a grill that is made of thin stainless steel doesn’t hold the heat, then you are really buying an inferior product compared to a much less expensive, heavier, cast iron grill that will retain that heat to sear the meat and keep your steaks or chicken juicy.
Don’t be the fool I was and buy one because it looked pretty.

Never Again Buy an Expensive Grill
Never Again Buy an Expensive Grill, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
I’ll only buy throw away grills from now on.
See this rotted flame tamer? There are four of them. I went to price replacement flame tamers for these rotted ones and they want $64.00 apiece for them.
I walked through Home Depot and Lowe’s looking at grills and most grills use the same type of guts. The kind that will all rot away within 4 or 5 years and need to be replaced. They’ll still look good on the outside, after 5 years but the insides will be all rotted away.
After my grill dies I will only buy cheap grills and use them as disposables, planning on having to replace them after a while but never being taken for the big up front hit.

Major Upgrade at Charlie’s Place

Copper flashing and what looks to be slate tiled roofing.
If it isn’t real slate, they sure fooled me, it looks great regardless.
Some very nice touches compared to the old building.
Two thumbs up.
