Deirdre’s Oven-Baked BBQ Ribs

My oven-baked BBQ ribs can be also be done on the grill down on the west patio if I can deputize some of the Happy Hour crew to maintain a tender, flavorful, and satisfying dish that brings all the smoky, sweet goodness right upstairs. They key to it is the connection we have with Autumn […]

Layers of Drama!

We were settling down for what looked like a quiet Sunday before the FIFA madness began. Instead, another layer of drama appeared, draped over the lavish wedding at Madison Square Garden and the funeral of the Ayatollah we helped execute in Tehran. Then there was that Red Card business hanging over the U.S. Men’s National […]

Bright and Righteous

Well, there should be a practical means of getting on with this year now half done and sigh in relief. The President, like him or not, put on a performance we could not have managed in our youth as jets thundered across several national panoramas. The severe weather alert popped up in the late afternoon […]

Getting Ready For Tomorrow!

Hi! We had beef, Iberico pork and BBQ chicken events over the last few days and with the big FIFA match coming up tomorrow, I sent Vic over to Captain White’s, our local fishmonger in Oxon Hill across the River. (US MNFT, 2026) The EU is traditionally a dominant force in what they call “futball,” […]

Between Doomsday and the 4th of July

The Navy Brass wanted to compare and contrast the survivability of both American and Axis ships, which is why the Nazi Hipper-class heavy Cruiser Prinz Eugen was brought all the way from Europe for the test. By the time she arrived at Bikini, she was officially known as USS IX 300, which is the oddest […]

We will keep this short enough to just mark how special this week has been. The image? It is of an insouciant young man fifty years ago, who thought maybe it was time to get a haircut and try to find a decent job. That was around the time of another big celebration. I don’t […]

On the Second

So, if you want to get technical, today is Independence Day. We know, we know. This is not an excuse to skip the Production Meeting or do anything actually enjoyable on this Heat Dome Holiday. We don’t know precisely what the weather was like in Virginia for their holiday week long ago. We do know […]

Wedge One

This was written on a day of some minor significance. It was April Fools, first of that month, and we were getting ready for summer. Not quite the same this morning. Back then, the cherry blossoms were coming out around the Tidal Basin, across the placid Potomac from the grand old wreck of a building […]
