[SKT]

@Bridger random but this song contains one of my favorite guitar solos. It’s not even that long, just hits it for me

[Bridger]

Love that @SKT!

My favorite dino album

@Bridger that's not romantic, is it?

[Bridger]

Depends on how you like your romance, @endo!

EatIng apple pie on the Swedish island Gotland.

@Molle Can you share a little about that apple pie? It looks so different from what 'm familiar with, and the sauce is also intriguing! Where I grew up (New England, US), it's common to serve apple pie with a slice of cheddar cheese. "An apple pie without the cheese is like a kiss without the squeeze." I think the expression and tradition of pairing cheese and apple pie originates from Yorkshire, England, but it's also common in parts of the US.

@seawolf …and Ontario. Laura’s family was the one who introduced me to cheddar and apple pie. Go extremely well together.

[seawolf]

@goosehd that makes sense, given the proximity of Ontario and the northeastern United States. It’s a lovely combination. It has to be a good cheddar though, in my opinion. Something sharp and old from Vermont. Speaking of which, I just picked up a chunk of Cabot Clothbound yesterday that I’m very much looking forward to breaking into tonight.

[goosehd]

@seawolf completely agree. Old and sharp is a must!!

[seawolf]

@goosehd I like my cheese like I like my kitchen knives. Old and sharp.

Bummer…left the forum hanging there; we expected you’d also tell us about the requisite squeeze @seawolf mentioned.

[goosehd]

@motojobobo I have zero clue to what that “squeeze” is. Very curious myself.

It’s a hug.

[goosehd]

@seawolf sorry, I thought we were talking about the sauce in the picture. I am a little slow and got squeeze…

Maybe today should be a nap day for me

[Molle]

@seawolf calling this one apple pie is a bit of a stretch actually. Apple cake is probably a more suitable description. It is basically a sort of sponge cake with slices of apple in it. The sauce is vanilla sauce.

@Molle looks delicious

[seawolf]

@Molle that makes so much more sense! It looks lovely

More of a, what have you been doing with your past couple weekends? My old man used to have his own landscaping business and have helped him w a number of entry way/deck jobs over the years. We’ve been mulling it over for a little bit now but have been wanting to upgrade my side entry way from its original stone cast stair casing to a small deck. It’s been slow moving but genuinely cherishing the time spent w my pops tackling this project.

Weekend 1
Sawed off the cast iron rails, poured some cement for the foundation and started the frame work for the platform of the deck

Weekend 2
Realized we needed to re-route the fucking drain so we got a connector to snake the gutter out the opposite end of the breezeway entry (this took a lot longer than anticipated and worse, required an additional trip to Lowe’s ️ but I digress), finished off the rest of the platform frame work and laid down the composite boards.

Weekend 3 TBD but looking like next weekend where we’ll finish off the stairs. Hopefully
