Never thought I would see the day when a college athlete could not afford to turn pro.

I am obviously doing it wrong. That is impressive.

First effort in way too long. Naturally the timing was off and the dough over proofed and was a bit too relaxed when I did the shaping and collapsed a bit during baking. But it was good to get back on the horse. Whole wheat sourdough with blueberries, pistachios and tamari smoked pumpkin seeds...

When floating the steelhead rivers of Northern BC both Skiffer and the Poondog always wore a flotation vest. Not so much for the flotation as they were both great swimmers but because of the handle on the back which turned them into 4 legged suitcases on the occasion they needed to be hoisted...

That would be a little highfalutin for me. No need to complicate a very simple process.

Been on a bit of a summer seafood kick of late. Seared scallops atop lobster chili crisp polenta with a couple ears of tender crisp corn impeccably prepared without the need to resort to steam or boiling water.

That is the way it turns out with the no boiling/no steaming method without having to pay attention to a timer and having it done perfectly regardless of when the rest of the meal is ready. Perhaps the process is too simple for some.

I love fresh corn on the cob and enjoy it numerous times every week while it is in season. I have often wondered why some days it was decidedly better and more tender than others and realized that it wasn't the corn but the way I cooked it putting the ears in a big pot and getting the water...

Still all butt hurt about 31-27 I see. A true sports fan always gets pleasure from someone else's disappointment. Nice to have you finally back. Just couldn't stay away.

It is hard to hear and see that. I had been hoping for a different outcome. Your computer skills are probably better than mine so I'm no help there but in spite of never having met or had a conversation please know my thoughts are with you. Bill

My first Hell's Bay 17-8 Professional. 47K was a lot of money in those days for a 17 ft skiff though they are now 95K with a 9 month lead time to have one built.
