If he is, it must not be too bad if he's cookin' steaks!

I like taking pics of the food I cook and and eat at different places. I get a lot of comments on them every time I see forum members in person. I'd like to see that happen more with more members contributing their own pics too. Thanks for the compliments! Amanda actually turned me on to Belgian ales several years ago. I had about twelve different ones to try and took notes on all of them. Flavor (hops, sweet, etc) roundness, cloudiness, lacing of the glass, finish, yup I get pretty crazy! To answer your question, Chimay has been made by the Trappist Monks of Chimay since 1862. I believe they also brew an ale that only THEY drink themselves. I would LOVE to taste that! Lark, too funny, you just can't get over me cooking that bear can you! The more you chew it, the bigger the piece gets! Ha Ha! You are right. A lot of quality drinks to be had. I actually pick up my corked bottle of Chimay at the local meat market where I buy my steaks, Von Hanson's. Brent, They are mild and sweet. Easy to get the flavor of a caramelized onion without the time and they don't need to cook down as much. Cooked in butter, I just absolutely love the aroma they give off. They are very dirty though, if you want to try them, cut the hard end off the stalk, cut in half lengthwise, slice, then wash in a sink full of water. (like a bath) They are as dirty as spinach when it comes to how much soil comes out of them. Phil, I thought of you as I was taking the pictures! Just so everyone knows...Phil sent me photos the other day from his cell as he was grilling some juicy steaks. Was the inspiration for this thread in the first place. We'll get together soon, hopefully at the ADA banquet!

Hit the nail on the head with this one. I enjoy all cuts of meat. Quality of the meat is what's important. Kobe beef and USDA Prime are tough to beat. Especially aged cuts. If I were to choose just one, my staple is the rib-eye. Seasoned exactly like Coues79 described, which is exactly how I prepared them last night. (think I'm gettin hungry again)

Wow, great job with the pictures Amanda. I didn't know they were blooming that hard already.

Congrats! I noticed the hat too, looked familiar.

That's cool! If I get a chance, I'll be sure and check it out.

Hope you are having a memorable one! Cheers!

Gaggers. 5 out of 5 to top it off. awesome.

Looks like she is really enjoying the hunt for sheds! Can't wait to see more of what she finds this season.

Thanks for taking us along Josh. Tis the season again!

bump...back to the top... These are my new ones, sit a little lower than the ones I am selling...

Selling these as new, in box, never mounted. Purchased online less than a month ago. Excellent quality product. I re-ordered new ones in a lower height as I have a Picatinny rail with a 20 moa slope and these sit too high for my liking. I paid 85.20 shipped. First $50 cash gets them. You pay shipping. If you wish to meet in or around Chandler area, that's okay too. Specs: TPS, HRT series, 1 inch, alloy steel, med height, scope rings. Will fit Weaver base. (weaver size crossbolt) Quick details: http://www.tacticalprecision.com/HRT%20Scope%20Rings.htm Specs: http://www.tacticalprecision.com/hrt_h_1inch_DIO.htm Thanks for looking!

Good time had by all. Quite a successful evening with several great buys throughout the night. AES really has a ton of support and volunteers. Nice to see so many with dedication to elk and wildlife in AZ. Was great to see friends and meet new ones including putting faces to some forum members. Elkster9, Bill, won a few items in the silent auction. Great guy to be around and a nice addition to our CW.com tables. We'll see you at the ADA banquet in June. Again, we are looking at filling two tables for the first time this year. This guy bought a lot of lucky tickets... Two .308 rifles in the bag... The fine folks at Wild Heritage Taxidermy representing with their CW.com shirts... Here is the model of the evening....taking bids, and taking names... I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked. Guess I was having such a blast swapping stories and watching the goings on that I got sidetracked. Thanks to all that helped fill our table. Thanks to Eric, it was lucky once again.

I absolutely hate everything that remotely relates to doing taxes. Thank goodness for my accountant. Totally worth the money.

Happy Birthday Scott! May this year bring you good luck and health.

She sure is a beaut Amanda. Congrats on the new pup! I can't think of any clever names for her though. I'll keep thinking.

Congratulations!

My good friend Don caught this baby in California today. He was actually fishing for trout when something BIG took his treble hook. He only had a 6# test line so he had to take it easy and tire it out. As the fish surfaced, all he saw were two tails!, as it swam into the deep again. After a few more minutes of struggle he had it in the boat. The bass actually took the hook, how the other fish came into the picture, who knows?! He placed it in the live well and they would splash around every now and again. He took it to a friends house where his wife snapped the pics. He was actually able to pull the fish out of the bass' mouth but it took a long time. Both fish actually swam around in a little tub before becoming lunch. Pretty cool I say!

Looks like fun. Even better when you get into action too.

It's about time.

Go to YouTube and type in: 2010 Toyota Prius brake problems. Easy fix. Amazing documentary *NSFW f-bombs dropping left and right, but he gets his car to stop, shut down, etc. (actually the guy may be related to Lark)

Congrats to you and your family Ernesto. Before you know it, you will have a whole posse out there with you. May even help with camp, field dressing, and packing out!

Common sense isn't as common anymore. Either that or they are looking for lawsuit $.

I thought of that video too when I saw the mount. Cool looking.

Great great story. I am glad you took the time to document the hunt with pics and video and put it all in print. This is what makes this forum the best. Cute kids. I love the smile on their faces. Plus the "that was easy" comment was priceless!
