two years, lost my wife to lung cancer, had a quadruple heart bypass last
May (Doc said, healthiest specimen he'd ever cut into). So I started back
qing by doing one of my favorites, TFM bird brine with turkey which was
delicious as always, tip o' the hat to TFM.

Recently engaged to a gorgeous Brooklynite with Puerto Rico heritage, she
cooks a mean beans and rice, roasted pork with pastelillos. Retired US Air
Force to boot, we are a cultural mis-mash but somehow we work well together.
Probably because she is so forgiving as I can be a handful.

Can't believe my website is still up, I closed my ISP account sometime ago,
enjoy it while you can, You can see a picture of my beautiful late wife and
I where we lived in Bolingbrook, IL. Some day if I can figure out how to get
the files back into Front Page (it crashed) I may place it on a pay for

I saw the cool map of q'rs and stuck our mugs up too, cool idea!

Does she have a sister?

Good to see you back. Lay off the pulled pork tho...

Welcome Back, Mike. Sound like things are looking up for you.

We got rid of KSW in the meantime, so the tone of the group has gotten a
lot better.

And I've been needing your help defending the ECB while you've been away...

Do you think you could post your brining book somewhere? I could host it if
you can't find a place. The links to that and your recipe zip file don't
work. If you want me to host these documents please email them to

gwe AT tinyisland DOT com

thanks!

Elected officials should wear
uniforms like NASCAR drivers.
That way it would be easier to
identify their corporate sponsors.

I think you both fall into that line of thinking for anyone who's been
around here for any length of time.

Welcome back Mike. I was glad to see the note today that "Piedmont" had
left a marker on the map! :-D

Hey: I'm in NY... hmmmm....... naw... Nancy knows where I sleep. ;-)

Glad to see you back. Sorry for the run of bad luck, but it seems to be
changing. Much good luck to you in the future.

Welcome back, Piedmont. I vaguely remember you.

Sorry to hear about your late wife's demise. Glad to hear you survived your
quad byp! Congrats on your upcoming wedding. ;-)

TFM®'s brined turkey sounds like a good re-introduction to the word of Q.
How did your affianced like it?

Last time I had lechón asado was on a mountain road outside of Cayey. Mmm
mm, good! I love Habichuelas Negras, Cristianos y Moros. My half Puerto
Rican daughter still cooks up some comida criolla sometimes.

Hey Grant,

I just emailed you a PDF version of the Brine Cook Book minus the table
of contents part, of which I will send you next Wednesday when I go back
to my house and pick up my old MS98 PC which has everything else on it
including the zipped recipes.

Thanks!

I hope to have my web up on a new site within six months. I downloaded
the entire website but don't know how to get it back into Front Page 98
to fix broken links.

Regards,
Piedmont
