Yea, My first year in the DC area... My soon to be new boss convinced me to go to Northern VA rather than Ohio... "It snows in Ohio it doesn't snow here" Come February I woke up to 17" of snow in my driveway... I called him and asked what the 17" of white stuff was if it wasn't snow? Looks like snow, smells like snow, feels like snow!

I can never get the formatting right here. measurement on the left is the base recipe and right is the upgraded to the big pot.

I also do smoked pork, very much like beef but with smoked pork bones and sometimes I'll add smoked turkey or chicken bones.

Edited to add: I season and brown the beef and bones in the grill before putting into the pot.

I know, and hope and pray that media is hyping rather than portraying truth.

I don't think so unfortunately. Unlike TX an Fl - our fellow citizens cannot drive to stay with relatives out of the impacted area. And our gov't is not doing all it can to facilitate evacuation by sea or air of those who wish to leave due to lack of food an water.

I'v been trying tp follow multiple sources and there is very little good news yet. On the positive side the USS Comfort hostpital and aid ship is now being supplied to head over there. Still no waiver from our gov't for foreign ships to supply aid as was given for Houston and Florida.

Appreciate y'all keeping the light on here while our beloved members remain in danger.
