The Maryland Cycling Classic was fantastic! Great event and tough racing conditions. Loved the spectator improvements. Some big names on the DNF list!

Interesting testimony from Secretary of Defense after questioning by Senator Kelly.

I don’t want to focus on Golden Dome. The outcome of that program is far from clear & controversial. But I want to talk about DoD testing & what it all means. A thread…

Happy Easter, leg of lamb. 3 hours at 210-220 + sear

This place needs Meathead! Just did this fat leg of lamb following his book recipe, shown doing the final sear to 130F. 2 hr at 250 on the smoker. I love cooking lamb but find this is one of the more challenging smoker cooks because legs vary so much in shape and resulting cook profile.

Practice turkey day. Brine 24 hours, air dry 24 hours, smoke at 325 for 3 hours. On at 0700 and should be ready for lunch!

Simple paprika, garlic, brown sugar, lemon zest rub.

Did this custom closet build over two weekends. Just me and the table saw, which turned out to be a great election distraction when you are working 16 hours days. About $3k in materials, including the 5 dressers (not custom). Amateur carpentry.
