No sir. Not at all. Your posts always have a clean, healthy and well focused look to the pic and meal itself. Just me?? I think not. I would gladly pay for your food any day.

Those look excellent! What recipe did you use? Last year I started looking into doing croissants. Seems like a ton of work. But if I could get them to come out like those. . .!
Dewesq55, I used the recipe from Joy of Cooking. I was also leery of trying these for a long time. Although there a lot of steps, the recipe is not terribly difficult. I can PM you the recipe.
SheilaAnn - We, just recently, have started using paper plates A LOT! It was Barbara's idea, but I'm starting to get into it. Since I'm the one who generally gets tasked with cleaning up the kitchen, especially during the pandemic since I'm not working, it makes for a little less work on that front.

When you have left over tri tip, black beans and rice......why not some loaded nachos! Topped with jalapeño, onion, avocado, queso fresco and my favorite green chile Salsa from Sadie’s!
Not quite as good as Katzs pastrami Rueben, but still good. Wife forgot to buy Swiss cheese at the store today, but luckily I had some swiss I smoked up a few weeks ago (and she made up for it with a 6lb prime rib roast). The pastrami is mostly meatheads recipe, but I was out of peppercorns. Added extra ground black pepper for taste and sesame seeds for the missing texture.
My very best pork butt. I think I finally got it right.
smoke at 250°. No water pan. 12 1/2 hours.
Spritzed after the first 3 hours every hour with 50/50 red wine vinegar and water.
wrapped in foil when added to cooler.
Wasn't mushy or greasy.
SCOTT'S DRY PORK AND RIB RUB I slightly modified his original recipe.
Sides are my wife's green beans with bacon grease, mac and cheese from a box, and a smashed potato recipe I seen on tiktok. Boil small potatoes with salt until fork tender, put them in a bowl with olive oil and seasoning, put them on a shallow pan and smash with a glass to about 1/2 inch and bake at 425° turning half was through until they are a bit crispy.
Small potatoes, a bunch.
Boil with salt until fork tender.
Drain and put in large bowl.
