#birds This song seems fitting... Susan Tedeschi singing Summertime. This is recorded at 120fps and played back at 30 fps and... I slowed the actual video speed down some... like 50% maybe. Lots of good flashes to see here tho. I think the shutter was 240fps at f32 and ISO100. The colors are ...

A bright, crisp sunrise over Lake Winnipeg this morning. Perfect conditions for a walk.
The bright orange ball of the sun just peeks over the horizon in the mostly clear sky. A small smudge of grey/orange clouds are smeared around the top of the image. The bright orange sunbeams sweep across the enormous snow-covered frozen lake lighting up, the purple coloured snow. A few grasses poke out of the snow in the foreground on the shore.

My first #BirdOfTheDay entry, for today’s theme of #ShortBeaks: this redpoll, sporting a short-but-mighty beak. I never hesitate to dole out props for these tough little birds, who come to Manitoba to spend the winter. #birds
A redpoll, a small fluffy songbird with beige tones, yellow-orange bill and a red forehead, perches on a willow branch caked in winter frost.

📸 Cactus wrens are adept architects, constructing bulky, football-shaped nests from grasses, twigs, and feathers, often tucked securely into the dense, spiny structure of cacti or Joshua Trees. Nest not pictured.

Because I haven't found it yet. 🐦🌵🧐

That's a Joshua Tree for composition, but I'll be damned if I can find any football-shaped nests in it yet...and that's one of the Cactus Wrens that I know lives there, calling with its chest puffed out. Joshua Trees aren't the easiest thing to search through, IYKYK...

my lettuce was getting wonky so I decided to make a salad. There was considerably more lettuce than what I thought. #bigsalad 😂🥳🍜🍽️
Ham and shredded cheddar, home croutons, there’s a bunch of tomatoes in there somewhere, and ranch over way way too much lettuce! 😁

Braised boneless country ribs in an apple vinegar sauce and lots of butter. Probably didn’t need that much butter.

I wanted pork bones for the stock I made to cook beans so I took them from some country ribs I had. Now I’m braising those country ribs with apples and onions and garlic and some of the stock. A perfect circle. 👀😂🍽️🍜
Apples, white onions, green onion, and garlic in evoo and butter. Some tomato paste, some Dijon mustard, and some cayenne hot sauce. Pan seared country ribs laying on top of that stuff. A splash of apple cider vinegar, some apple juice, and stick up to the top of the pork ribs. Added some bay leaf and more butter. This gets braised at 300 for about an hour with the lid offset to reduce the sauce.

Pork belly burnt ends are underway. Three to three and a half hours at 250F and then they get glazed and go back for on 30 minutes to set the glaze. Seasoned with Q’s Killer Honey Bee and Ruthie Mountains Smoked Cayenne Pepper ☺️🍜🍽️
Pork belly burnt ends in one inch cubes arranged on a cookie sheet. Somehow, I ended up with an odd one. It totally screwed with me. 😂

So I let all that cook down for a while… a few hours later… added some more water and let it simmer some more… then I pulled out all the veg n bones n such and strained it thru fine mesh and cheesecloth into deli containers. And those are my Anasazi beans. I don’t do black eyed peas. 🍽️🍜 HNY 🥳
The pork and veggie stock cooked down for 11 hours. All the big veg and pork and bones removed revealing a nice oily orange and red and brown stock. 3 quarts The bean.

Making the stock! Making the stock! 🎶👀😂 Since this stock is for beans and greens both, I decided to add some dried New Mexico peppers and a couple jalapenos to it for a little extra kick! rest of the ingredients in the alt. 🍜🍽️
Starting with a quart of homemade chicken stock, a quart of store bought stock and two quarts of water, i added a smoked turkey neck, 8 grilled rib bones from some country ribs i had, 3 stalks of celery, about 15 baby carrots or so, two cloves of garlic, a whopper onion, and the new mexico peppers. I added just a little veggie better than bouillon. Then this slow simmers at 225 in the oven for 5 or 6 hours or so.

Lookin back, One of the neatest things I did this summer was capture this video. It is basically unedited except for me slowing it down a little to try and match the music… which didn’t work. 😂 To the 100 or so people that liked or commented on it. Thanks. #birds

Beef loin scraps stock reduction. I started with a quart of store bought beef stock, some onion, garlic, and better than bouillon. 👀 that goes in the fridge and tomorrow or Friday I’ll pull the fat off the reduction and use that to baste the filets as they cook. The sauce will get red wine and 🧈 🍜🍽️
A strainer and funnel sit on top of a quart deli container. A brown liquid and a golden fat layer are seen in the container. Meat scraps are in the strainer.

A giant patty melt sits on a white plate. Part cheeseburger, part grilled cheese, with plenty of caramelized onions, and two slices of pickle. A total grease bomb.
