Virginia early voting (www.elections.virginia.gov/casting-a-ba...) is open & convenient!

It's a general election for statewide officers, delegates, & local ballot measures. This year, you can use the Virginia electronic driver's license via the Virginia mID app on your phone!

Vote! Get stickers!

Anyone want dinner in a Victorian courthouse?

Just throwing this out there

Yes, that is a photo of 6x 600g tubs or Marmite that is best before this time next year. And no, you cannot have any.

Well, it's not like that isn't an unreasonable guess given his altered state...

Just random hellos to the SkyChonks - Gail, Lennie, Brody ( @dkbell0.bsky.social @jennyil.bsky.social ) - and honourary (yes, with a "u") SkyChonks (mainly, @hellkitty.bsky.social )

A week of prep and cooking. Happy my neighbors enjoyed.

The bit I loved was preparing an after dinner snack for Dr. GirlChild.

Sing a song of six chonks,
A pocket full of treats
4 and 20 FNUs baked in a pie

Singing the song of his people and the ancient @hellkitty.bsky.social hunting call.

Come Gail, come Lenny, come Brody - we ride...

So...

68 hours later - 66 in the circulator and 2 on the grill, we have something that works...

Probably should have cut grill time by 30-45 minutes or had a bit more liquid as it cooked.

Not dry, tender enough to cut with a 2x4.

@petermsmiths.bsky.social trying a thing...

Cold smoked the brisket with apple wood in the fridge for two days (smoking gun @cjones47.bsky.social bullied me into buying) then into sous vide for ~60 hrs
