Smokin’ and Chillin’

Family


Through the course of this visit Phil has cranked out some amazing meals on his new Weber Grill. One night it was Chicken Wings and Grilled Vegetables. Another night we feasted on Grilled Chiorzo in a wonderfully savory sauce wrapped in a toasted flatbread. Yesterday he dry brined the beef chuck. Early this morning he set the grill up as a smoker and has been tending the fire all day long. As the beef neared doneness he wrapped the roasts in butcher paper. It holds in moisture while still allowing smoke to penetrate. CJ meanwhile enjoyed the opportunity to curl up in the recliner and immerse herself in a classic mystery. She’s been reading a recently acquired copy of the Nero Wolfe tale “Too Many Cooks” by Rex Stout while Phil been preparing the food. Then longtime friends , Nate & Desiree, arrived to enjoy the fabulous smoked beef tacos that was our Fourth of  July Feast! Fabulous food, Phil!

Winter Magic in Medina

Winter Magic in Medina

By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!

Savoy at Sea 2025

Savoy at Sea 2025

The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
