So glad he is improving and

for tomorrow's appointment.
I like the one with the top hat. I need some birds with hats.
I love crested birds -- had Polish when I was younger, they were "exotic" for where we lived so I always did very well with them at the fair, lol. I keep bringing up crested breeds and neither DH nor DS are enthusiasts......I thought for sure DH would like their "hairdo's"
CB just cooked burgers for everyone and Tom came out asking for another. Said it was the best burger he had ever ate.
Well, then, sounds like he may have found his special skill -- given how much you loathe kitchen duty and the mixed reception some of your efforts get from those choosy buggars you live with I'd say let him start venturing in there more often.
they were smoked to 150* internal temp in the thickest one. BUT hopefully will be good for beans, tater, split pea , and other soups
They should be great for that -- maybe they were smoked to hot/fast to give them the time to really reach perfection?
