Pork came out of the smoker just a little while ago with a luscious crispy exterior and a falling off the bone interior. Pulling took only a few minutes. It's now chilling to deepen the smoky flavor before it becomes the centerpiece of tomorrow's feast! Meanwhile...
Cousins come bearing gifts of Cincinnati foods. This morning we enjoyed Glier's Goetta both Original and Hot with our breakfast. At lunch we dressed our burgers with Frisch's Tartar Sauce aka "Cincinnati Mayo" and this afternoon we had a snack of United Dairy Farmers...
That's what the braising liquid surrounding the pork shoulders is  doing. After an overnight in the oven, the pork is up just past 190F. Time for it to begin chilling. In fact that's what we've been doing too, drinking coffee and chilling out on the deck in the chilly...
It's a cruical part of the four day process of making Matt's Pulled Pork. Somehow the Adding of the Guinness has an almost magical quality to it. Now it needs to braize 'til the pork reaches an internal temp of 190F, then chill, then smoke, then when it's ready to...
 Deck Week is officially here. Brian and Gail arrived this evening bearing gifts. Brian's gift of UDF ice cream came packed in dry ice. Rather than let the dry ice just quietly evaporate, we decided to play/experiment with it in our punch bowl by the propane firepit....
It was a frigid winter so even some of our rather hardy garden plants didn't make it this year. We already brought a number of herbs and flowering plants home from Bryson's. Now we are at Country Roads Nursery loading up on some more goodies to brighten our deck and...
Earlier today CGK13 and SOGsp found their first Geocache, Ballin for Seeds, on the WCU campus. For us this was our 365th find. Ultimately we found five geocaches today, had a nice lunch at Tuck's, stopped by Bryson's to order the pork for Deck Day, and are now...
The canopies are up! Decorative lighting is in place. We grilled bratwurst for tonight's dinner. Who's interested in a glass of wine near the fire pit at sunset?
We awakened this morning to the curtain of green that surrounds us at Tween Creeks! The Spring magic has happened. It's wonderfully warm outside. We've got the windows and doors open. Soon we'll set up the canopies and declare that Deck Season has begun!
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

Within the RV community, the tiny town of Quartzite, Arizona holds a mystique all its own. Surrounded by vast tracts of public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management Quartzite finds itself playing host to hoards of RV travelers every winter. Many are...
Like so many of us of a certain age, we grew up with strains of the Wild West playing in the background. The streets of Tombstone, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holiday, the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and other legends played on the television screens in our living rooms. Thus...
