Congrats on the weight loss! It’s a tough journey – especially when so many foods are incredibly delicious! I haven’t made a baked ziti in a while because it’s mostly carbs and an overload of cheese… not the best heart-friendly meal and I’m on a goal to slim down a bit too. I try not to look at the # on the scale too carefully though. I’m a muscular build and take pride in being able to lift more weight than people can usually guess!

Cooking over any type of fire hits that primal part in me. Same with eating what you’ve hunted, foraged or grown for yourself.

Agreed! I love it when the whole meal ends up being things we’ve harvested!

also some injection marinate works good too…

You know, I think there’s a meat injector in the cupboard that Billy liked to use! I might have to experiment with that once I find it!

Or is this him?? Hard to know who’s the real Tim Cheney!

The first time I made chicken breasts on the grill, they were a bit dry. It’s amazing what even a quick 30-min marinade can do! They weren’t as juicy as the drumsticks I grilled recently, but they weren’t dry. I’m really liking using the grill and learning how to cook different things! I think Billy would be proud.

Tonight I made some chicken breasts on the grill and I did a quick last minute marinade and they turned out pretty good!

“The troubled saga of Diamond Sports – parent company of Bally Sports North – continues as a breakdown in contract negotiations with Comcast-Xfinity resulted in Bally being blacked out late Tuesday evening. The Twins game on Wednesday afternoon against the Chicago White Sox will be the first impacted, but likely not the last.”

I’m loving the temps lately and this morning it’s just perfect out! I love having a long spring before we start getting too warm.

This year May 19th is wear your PDF to work day! I wore mine at work back in 2017 and definitely got some weird looks from my coworkers! Could be because my life jacket smells like fish… been a while since it’s been washed!

Happy Friday! I made some gooey cinnamon rolls in the office kitchen this morning and they’re great with a hot cuppa coffee.

Is it me, or is it overall more windy than it used to be?
